Not that I encourage present-shaking, but if you go here, you can see what fandoms have already been written and posted for Yuletide. And if you click on specific fandoms, and then click on the "characters" side bar, you can see what characters are in them, if the writers tagged the characters.

Speaking of which, though there's no rule barring crossovers with Yuletide-ineligible fandoms (and a good thing too, or I would not have been able to send Anthony Bourdain to Narnia), I am boggled at the number of times Clint Barton (Hawkeye) has unexpectedly popped up in character lists for Yuletide stories, often in company with Phil Coulson.

Though assigned stories are long since due, Treats can still be uploaded to the archive until it closes at some time on Christmas Eve. I spent yesterday writing a Treat, and am quite pleased with it. Almost all the writing I've done this year has been professional in some way, so it has been lovely to get a chance to write for the sheer joy of it.

If you want to write a Treat, all requests are viewable here. You can sort by fandom, but not search; it's a bit cumbersome. I am still hoping someone will write Modesty Blaise. (Not me. Cockney defeats me.)

Cut to avoid spoiling what fandoms have already been written. Great anticipation below cut.



Yami no Matsuei finally made it back into Yuletide, and has 6 stories!

A few fandoms which caught my eye:

Robert Heinlein's The Rolling Stones. Seriously, that should be interesting. Yuletide attracts thoughtful reworkings of Golden Age sf, like the fantastic riff on Ray Bradbury's "All Summer in a Day."

asakiyume, there is a Railsea story!

Three stories based on the adorable "house hippo" PSAs, two Flora Segunda stories, and a Golden Witchbreed story!.

I have a Caught in Crystal story. CANNOT WAIT.

Bizarre crossover award goes to the Frontier Wolf [ETA: correction: Eagle of the Ninth, by the same author, Rosemary Sutcliff] story which appears to have an appearance by Diane Duane's Sunspark from The Tale of the Five. The former is a gritty, realistic adventure set in Roman Britain; the latter is a charming otherworld fantasy with lots of polyamory.

Well the new Hawkeye comic is yuletide eligible though Coulson hasn't made an appearance in it yet.

My favorite fandom crossover I've discovered by shaking the presents is

(main fandom in ROT13) Pbqr Anzr Irevgl

crossed with

(side fandom in ROT13) Grzrenver.

That's got to be an awesome story.

I have two treats up this year, which I'm particularly proud of because I wrote them in between and around my December grading crunch. I didn't sign up for the exchange officially, but I figure that of the thousands of stories, some of them will work wonderfully as presents for me!

Oooh! And character Jrqarfqnl Nqqnzf will apparently show up in a Tnfuylpehzo Gvavrf story! Or vice versa, I suppose.

How are you finding the crossovers? Is there a separate search?

From: (Anonymous)


It's actually a Tale of the Five/Eagle of the Ninth crossover, the author delicately corrects. I wouldn't want any Frontier Wolf fans to get their hopes up!

I was really thinking about writing Treats, but sinus headache....OW. But do Treats have a deadline? Not really, right?

But you can always post to Yuletide Madness or the New Year's Resolution collection, right?

The freeform tags are my favourite. :D

I will admit to having a small howl of jealous rage that OTHER PEOPLE WROTE IN THE SAME FANDOM AS MEEEE, which is really just me being insecure. >.<
