Thank you for all the work that went in to the Yuletide 2025 collection and event.

Now that author names have been revealed at the main Yuletide 2025 and Yuletide Madness 2025 collections, it's traditional for people to share thoughts on what they made this year. Maybe you want to write a post on your own social media (Dreamwidth or other) about your thoughts during canon consumption, your false starts, your research rabbit holes - please link it here! Or maybe you'd like to comment directly with much shorter thoughts. There's room for options in between, too.

Everyone creating this year was on roughly the same journey - but the devil's in the details, and there are diamonds in those differences too. You've shared your stories. Now share your stories about your stories!

Now that author names have been revealed at the main Yuletide 2023 and Yuletide Madness 2023 collections, it's traditional for people to share thoughts on what they made this year.

Congratulations, Yuletide is over! Now that we're out of the anonymous period, this is the post where - if you want to - you can link to notes on how this Yuletide went for you. Unexpected coincidences? Research rabbit holes? That moment when you decided to write something totally different to what you matched on?

Comment here, and enjoy everyone else's stories. See past posts at the reveals tag.

You survived a Yuletide! How was it?

Talk about what you wrote here, or link to posts on your personal journals, if you have them. When did you encounter bears, and how did you fight them off? What's the factoid that didn't make it into a work's final form?

Another Yuletide is over! Talk about what you wrote here, or link to posts on your personal journals, if you have them. What were your setbacks and breakthroughs? What was the research you had to cut out? What was your strategy for offers and requests, and did it pay off? What would you do again?

Talk about what you wrote here! Did it go well? Did it go unexpectedly? Do you have pages and pages of research for a plot point you had to cut out? Spill!

belatedly -

This is another semi-traditional Yuletide thing: reveals posts for talking about how it went. Did you match on the last fandom you expected? Did you lose the canon you were writing for and need to reacquire it? Did you re-write everything at the eleventh hour? Etc.

(Please be circumspect in discussing a negative experience with your author, your recipient, or someone else. If you have an unresolved issue, mods would like to hear about it at yuletideadmin@gmail.com.)

Otherwise - replies welcome in comments, or you can link to reveals posts you've made elsewhere.
