Hallo, Yuletide writer and potentially other interested persons!

Hello Yuletide writer!

Under the cut, for length and ridiculousness.

ETA: Oh my! I see that my request has gone up for a pinch hit. So hello, new author, and thank you so much for offering to write even more this Yuletide season! I don't know what fandom you might have twigged onto, but if you're strapped for time, both WordWorld and Ursula Vernon's art are fairly easy to figure out in a short period of time, both having very little in the way of actual canon. But I am looking forward to whatever you want to write! /ETA



Hello there, marvelous, wondrous, fantastic person. I am so excited about this year's Yuletide, and I hope you are, too.

I want to let you know that just getting something written for me will make me incredibly happy, I promise, so no pressure. The only things that I would rather not see are things like rape, gratuitous character death, etc. I am fine with angst and such, but I like it to have at least a thread of hope by the end. Fandom is my happy place.

And now my prompts:

So I hope you have as much fun writing any of these as I did thinking of them, and I can't wait for Yuletide to arrive! Thank you so much.

The Where The Wild Things Are pajamas aren't actually done yet (arrrrrrrgh), but I thought I'd post what I have done, because I'm cool like that. :D

Oh, man, I am exhausted! But accomplished. :D :D :D

ETA: I am now offering to make a fandom item of your choice, with a starting bid of $10, HERE, at help_haiti, which is a collection of creative auctions where the proceeds will go directly to Haiti. So, if you like what you see, come bid. I want to help any way I can.

Dear YuleGoat,

You are lovely. I have no idea who you are, but I love you already. :D

As a general start, I will just say that anything you write, I will love, I promise. The fact that this exchange even exists makes me incredibly happy, so don't worry too much about the optional details. And don't even worry about the characters - I just listed my four favorites from each of my fandoms, so you can leave some of them out. I promise I won't get offended. :D

And really, yulegoat, just have fun with it. I am excited to see what you come up with!

PS - I'm sorry I'm so ridiculously random. I can't help it - I just got really excited about Yuletide.

First of all - thank you so very much for signing up for this challenge. This is my first year as a participant, so I am particularly excited to see what comes of it. :D

Medium: Real Life
Fandom: Business
Subject: Wal-Mart/Consumers
Title: Makin' Money
Notes: I’m not entirely sure why I felt the need to make this, but once I got the idea, several songs immediately reared their heads and demanded to be included. So, without further ado:

God, the last three days have been absolutely batshit crazy. I spent almost three straight days making my mom's Christmas present (which is, by the way, completely awesome, and I have included pictures of it under the cut below), I wrapped more than 50 presents (not all from me, some from the rest of my family to other family members), and I went cat-sitting.

The cat-sitting was actually lots of fun. It's two cats, Bob and Nala, who are both black, but Bob is super fat and Nala is this skinny psycho kitten. Bob's favorite pastimes include lying still and biting Nala's feet, while Nala enjoys laser tag (involving a laser pointer and lots of stalking/chasing) and jumping at the wall for no good reason. They're a pretty interesting.

I've been watching some old home movies of me and my sister while I wrapped presents, and can I just say - I take it back, I really am cute? Because damn, I really am. I keep looking at three-year-old me and going "Awwwwww!" It's sickening. But I just watched the Blizzard of '93 (Haha, here in NC, blizzard=less than two feet of snow. Yay Southern life!) and several Christmases and birthdays in a row, and it was quite entertaining and cavity-inducingly sweet.

Tomorrow I go to the German grandparent's house for Christmas Eve celebration/present time, only this year I'm rebelling a little and wearing jeans instead of a stupid skirt. Mostly because I really hate skirts, and my jeans are really comfortable, but also because I want to freak Grandma out a bit, and I figure that jeans combined with the blue/purple hair will do it.

But now to share something I'm really proud of - my mother's Christmas present!

And now it is time for me to go to bed so my grandmother doesn't have an excuse to yell at me about the bags under my eyes tomorrow.
