\o/ Cheering you on for the last two hundred yards of the Yuletide fic!
And I am totally with you about the gift aspect being a very strong motivator, as well as the challenge aspect - or the party-game aspect, rather, as I saw it. I used to really enjoy the weekly challenges on the LJ-NFFR; because it felt like a party game, just a group of people having fun (as do the 3SFs) I felt free to do pretty well anything that took my fancy. (Retrospective thanks to those organising there.)
