Ooh, squee, yuletide!

I got my Yuletide assignment. Squee! And I had an exact character match on the fandom I got. (Watch, I'll *also* get a story in this fandom. Either that, or tptigger will die of laughter.) I'm a little bit scared, though, because I want to make the story so good for this writer. There's a possibility on an unrequested fandom, but I want to check on certain things before I try writing in it.

If you signed up for Yuletide, be sure to keep an eye on the two Yuletide comms.

Dear Yuletide Writer

Dear Yuletide Writer:

Hello! I'm sure you looked at my requests and said "what in the hell is she smoking?", and I wouldn't blame you. So, under the cut, I talk about my preferences in the fandoms.

Plan

I just... can't get into either of my novels at the length and speed I need to. With full-time work, classes and everything, I just have not been feeling it. So, I'm going to put a halt to them, to the most extent, and drop out of NaNo (though if I do write, I will update the word count).

Here's my plan:
1. I'll still write them. I just can't get motivated right now to write at the crashy speed NaNo requires at this point. I want to tell these stories. This just doesn't seem the time to do them. (Yes, full-time work, school, and various and sundry personal problems just have sapped me this year.) These characters do have stories to tell, I just can't manage the speed. (I'm not going to feel guilty about it, though.) I still reserve the right to suddenly pick up a ton of speed and catch up, though.

2. I have Yuletide. Normally, I'd start the fic in December (so, no pressure here), but this will give me time to review source material/check out a new fandom. I'm going to try pinch-hitting this year.

3. Instead of writing NaNo (unless I get inspired), I'm going to continue on with my fics. The latest Kiva arcs have gotten me really fic-inspired, and I have other stuff to do.
