Yuletide unofficial chat

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. 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.

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?

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!
