Fandom: Yuletide

Finally hit the minimum word count on my Yuletide assignment. I think it's going to be a much smaller story than I originally planned, both in word count and in scope, but I like the bit of the world it is focusing on, and it fits the request well, so I am pleased, at least so far. I also talked things out with [livejournal.com profile] thestalkycop (one of my bffs, for those of you who are new), and realized that in light of everything else going on the past few months, I should cut myself some slack and lower my Yuletide goal. Normally, I like to do a certain number of treats as well as an assignment of which I am proud, but this year, I am only going to focus on the assignment. If I manage treats too, that'll be a bonus. Hopefully next year, I'll be back to my normal self. I love my assignment, but I am having a hard time feeling any Yuletide cheer (or holiday cheer, for that matter), and as the girl reminded me, that's understandable.

I anticipate maybe another 500 words or so to complete the first draft of this story, and then I will reassess.

Hooray for the writing going well!

I've never played in the Yuletide sandbox, but I really need to go through the FAQs and figure out deadlines and processes. I'm entertaining hopes of writing a couple of treat stories. *fingers crossed*

It's a really fun exchange, I think. I've done it on and off since the beginning...probably more off than on, I think. Have fun with it, if you decide to give the treats a shot!

Yuletide amazes me with its awesomeness, even though I've never participated. I hope I can make something happen! ^_^
