It's the Final Countdown for Yuletide!

[rachelmanija]

TERRIFY yourself by watching the countdown clock!

THRILL to the stories you want to read in the collection!

As of the moment of posting, there are 1831 stories in the collection, and 13 hours, 22 minutes, and 1 second to write!

Who will join me in spreading cheer at a time when we could really need it, and spend the day raising the number of stories in the collection to a nice even 2000?

Also, apart from your own gift stories, what have you found by browsing fandoms and shaking presents that you look forward to reading?

Personally, I am particularly looking forward to the Salieri/Mozart/Constanze threesome for Amadeus, stories for Judy Blume's Fudge series, Mary Stewart's Merlin trilogy, Caitlin Kiernan's The Red Tree, Stephen King's Dark Tower, and the multiple stories in The Darkangel, Dragonriders of Pern, Malory Towers, Mushishi, Nirvana in Fire, and the Onmyouji movies.

the Salieri/Mozart/Constanze threesome for Amadeus

Is true, I'd read that.

I never think of anyone writing for Mary Stewart's The Crystal Cave, which is I suppose what Yuletide is for. (It just filtered into my ideas of Roman Britain in seventh grade and has stayed there ever since.)

I feel bad that I haven't been writing treats in recent years, whereas before I had a streak of never writing fewer than four stories (assignment, usually one pinch hit, and a couple of treats). But I just haven't had the time and energy. I'm hoping next year I'll be able to turn that around -- especially since apparently this year I have four fics waiting for me and I don't understand. O_O

Definitely keen on Onmyouji, though! That to me feels like classic Yuletide: a fandom I love, and I'm delighted whenever I find somebody else who knows it.

Okay, you got me, I started another Yuletide fic (Treat) after all, I just need to look up some details in canon. XD

I am a predictable creature, so I want to read whatever the Addams Family, Midsommar, Night Circus, Red Tree, and Wayward Children stories are. There are others I’m curious about, but those are the ones I’m wildly curious about.

This is the first year I've posted treats. I'm letting myself stay in suspense about what might be in the collection until I come home and it's open.

There is sooooo much Old English / other medieval lit stuff that I'm looking forward to! Beowulf! Mabinogion! (Two Mabinogion fics!) I'm especially curious about the Wulf & Eadwacer crossover with Bisclavret -- that's got to have some interesting werewolves in it :D And of course I'm looking forward to Scholomance, and Winter Solstice Camelot Station :D

(The 24th isn't usually a good time for me to write, but I have been steadily working on treats these last couple of weeks!)
