You can see the fandoms people have written stories for, though not the individual stories, here: http://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2011/fandoms
I am excited to read stories set in Akkadian Empire RPF and Heian RPF (real people fic - in this case, historical fiction, which is the only sort of RPF I read, with exceptions for stuff like sending Anthony Bourdain to report on Narnia), American Gods
(a reliable source of good Yuletide stories), Saiyuki Gaiden, Wild Adapter, Vorkosigan series (16 stories!), "Total Eclipse of the Heart" music video, Red Cliff
, These Old Shades
by Georgette Heyer (4 stories), Pat Barker's Regeneration
, and Galaxy Quest
. To name but a few.
And of my old and current requests, I see 3 stories in Onmyoji
, 1 in Modesty Blaise
, 1 in Samurai Champloo
, 1 in Barbara Hambly's Windrose Chronicles
, and 5 in Dragonriders of Pern!
What are you looking forward to reading?

Responses to my T-Minus Six Hours and Counting Yuletide poll yesterday were pretty hilarious, and generally triumphant. (Someone actually did check off '...I haven't started yet, but I will persist and post! (Somehow)', and not immediately either - I think it was about three hours pre-deadline.)

On the positive side: three requested fandoms! I have one gift, and there are four stories in the same fandom for other people, but none in the other three fandoms I asked for.

Not that I saw. Maybe they just screwed the uploading?
There are many other things I want to read, though, which is exciting.

There is always excellent Swordspoint fic for Yuletide. It's a tradition.

Absolutely love that song, even though I don't get into song fic in general.

Also, yay Heian Era RPF. I would have offered to write that if I'd noticed it.
ETA: Byron's Don Juan!

Other exciting fandoms:
I'm really looking forward to "Academia: Anthropomorfic", "Barrett's Privateers", and the other no-fixed-canon fandoms as well. They're always glorious.
Captain America has 15 stories! Chrestomanci has three! Discworld has 12! Disney Princesses has 5! Wait, how is Doctor Who a Yuletide fandom? ;P
Fairy Tales has 22 stories! Fairytales are one of the things Yuletide does best. Ooh, and Frontier Wolf has 4! There are 8 Hamlet stories (but no Macbeth).
Inspector Spacetime has 4 stories - fandom is kind of glorious, you know. ;-) JLU has three! *bounces* The Three Musketeers has five; so does Little Women. Lilo and Stitch has three.
Eh, why am I even making a list? I'm probably just going to (try to) read straight through the archive, like everyone else. XD

(I went for Kaboom instead. Because it needed to be done. Judging by how over-the-moon I am about it, I made the right choice. XD)
The crossover thing makes sense, though! It also explains Harry Potter. ;-) I was rather puzzled.

Anna to the Infinite Power
A Little Princess (Though probably none of them used the prompt I would have included: "My favorite part has always been when the dragon comes to eat Miss Minchin.")
A Study In Emerald
Chalion Saga
Damar Series
Jane Eyre
Mythbusters RPF (yeah, yeah, RPFs can be creepy but I loved Bourdain in Narnia and the Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me crew reporting on the Zombie apocalypse was also the sort of thing that seemed like it would amuse the real people involved, if/when they read it, rather than bothering them. I totally bet the WWDTM folks read that fic, too. Because NPR fanfic is a rare enough beast to get printed out and passed around the office.)
Mary Russell
Mysterious Benedict Society
MASH
Real Genius
Tangled
Venetia
Witch of Blackbird Pond
Young Wizards
Some of my favorite Yuletide stuff in the past has been fanfic of middle grade books, because seeing someone look at something I loved as a kid, but writing with a more adult sensibility, is such a thrill.

That is exactly how I sort stories about living people into read/don't read as well.
I would love to see a dragon eat Miss Minchin.
From:
no subject
Or maybe I dreamed this entire conversation since I can't find it with Google? ANYWAY. "Dragon eats Miss Minchin" has Yuletide written all over it. For me, anyway.
