getting things in order for Yuletide

[edenfalling]

Since my Yuletide signup experience last year was... not exactly a nightmare, but certainly not ideal (to summarize: three plus hours of frustration and eyestrain in the wee hours of the night/morning because my computer was having a bad week and I had to take advantage of a functional period no matter how inconvenient to real life), this year I have already gone through the list of nominated and approved fandoms and made a file of the ones I will definitely offer to write plus the ones I might offer to write if I am feeling adventurous and/or masochistic (because of course the thing you offer thinking, "Well, I suppose I could maybe do that," is the thing you will get matched on).

At the moment, this translates to four manga series, three comics series, one song, one play, twenty-five books and/or book series (almost entirely fantasy), and twelve movies. The weird part of this, of course, is the movies. A couple are Disney, a couple are random things that I have seen two or three times for various reasons... and the rest are things I watched this year because Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in them. *sigh* My fannish priorities: you may not agree with them, but clearly I have some.

...

Tangentially, I note that someone has nominated Seaward by Susan Cooper again. I think I am still the only person who has written and publicly posted fanfic for that book. I would love to see somebody else take a stab at it this year. :-)

Wow, you have lots! Mine are two tv shows, three movies, and the rest are childrens/YA books. And it's funny, the thing I offered last year that was my biggest stretch was the one I got matched on. Of course! :D

I have done Yuletide three times now (this year will be my fourth), and I always seem to get matched on YA fantasy -- The Homeward Bounders in 2008, The Dark Is Rising in 2009, and Hexwood last year. That pattern leads me to suspect I will get matched on yet another YA fantasy book this year (maybe something by Robin McKinley, for variety's sake?) but you never know! It would be fun to get something completely different.
