2017 Yuletide Master Index Post

[swan_tower]

As I sit here in a record-breaking heat wave, it's hard to believe that it's already September, and that Yuletide season is about to begin. But since that's the case, it's time for . . . the Master Index Post! Bookmark this page and you'll never have to wonder again where that useful post about X went. (If for some reason you want the 2016 edition, it's here.)

I will update as the material rolls in!

Thank you for this!

I marked this year's date in the future log of my bullet journal.

THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE YULETIDE! :D

Will you add a link to Someday My Fic Will Come? Or is it going to move to DW too?

[swan_tower]

Ah, good call! The spreadsheet is the spreadsheet, but there should be a DW post as well, since the vast majority of us have decamped from LJ. What I think I will do is link to the spreadsheet for now, and then put up a new post after Yuletide for people to add or remove any of their requests.

Thanks!

As a footnote to the post: Someday My Fic Will Come is a collection of past requests which have gone unfulfilled for at least three Yuletides. That means the fandom in question may not be nominated this year, or the requester may not be participating. SMFWC is primarily aimed at New Year's Resolution writers, but it's included here because the "perennial" element means people might have nominated and requested it again. (Many of us do!)

This is so useful!! Thank you ♥

[scribblemyname]

Would it be all right to ask you to link the Art Challenge post here too?

Not sure how I missed that! It's added now.

[swan_tower]

Done! Sorry, I've been slower than usual this year about updating.
