yuletide woes

[(Anonymous)]

it's my first time on yuletide, there're only 10 days left and i still don't know how i'll manage
i match with my recipient on only one fandom, they gave several suggestions and i could write like 4 of them
but i don't know how many words i ca squeeze out of each idea and whether i'll meet the 1,000 limit or not
i don't know which one to choose and write
and it's getting a bit late to try every single one of them
and see which draft works best
help
i'm fucked

Pick one at random, write something, and then go from there

Re: yuletide woes

you're kind of a jerk for taking on a commitment and not following through with it

Re: yuletide woes

[(Anonymous)]

Ten days is a lot of time! You can do it. Start by writing down the four ideas you think you could write, then add as many plot points/etc to each of them. Pick the one the has the most to work with. You could also try all four, starting with one and not spending more than two days on it if it's not going anywhere before trying the next one.

Re: yuletide woes

[(Anonymous)]

Could you combine two or more of them? Also, it's actually 16/17 days until reveals, so if you could just get the rough draft done in time, there's still a week to get a beta and make it nice. But you should seriously start today.

Choose at random, flip a coin. If you feel disappointed that you got #3 instead of #2, then do #2. What's more important is that you write something for one of them. Don't let indecision paralyze you.

Just default instead of flailing. The sooner you do, the sooner they can get the requests to someone else.

(And if you do manage to pull something out of your ass by the upload deadline, you can always post it as a treat.)

Honestly I'm barely paying attention to the Christmas season. No decorations for us this year. I've barely been out of the house in the past three weeks. My mom will be home before Christmas, thankfully, but we're still not sure about my dad. It just doesn't really feel like Christmas this year. I think we are just doing gift cards/money for presents (though I did get my sister a set of bath bombs).

Re: yuletide woes

[(Anonymous)]

Can you do a "five times" for that fandom? That's only 200 words minimum per idea, and you've already got four ideas.

You can do it, anon, one way or another.

Re: yuletide woes

[(Anonymous)]

It's your first time, so I'm going to go easy on you here: please default now if you honestly aren't getting a spark for anything. There's still time for a pinch-hitter to take over so that your recipient still gets something.

a wrap coat my mother gave me 15 years ago that I still wear every winter. so cozy and I don't feel stuffed into a too-small coat because it's really a cloak/wrap thing.

I got a Kitchen Aid mixer from a Redditor two years ago for the Reddit Secret Santa Exchange. :D

Cuisinart food processor. I love it and use it more often than I though I would!

Heating blanket is what I can think of now. I got it while I was in college one year. it was the only thing I asked for this year. Was a godsend in Boston.

I think the things I've gotten the most use out of are my LOTR extended edition copy I got one year and the R2-D2 measuring cups my sister got me one year (she knows me so well).

Dishonor and shame upon the heads of the deserving!

[(Anonymous)]

Who deserves a good, old-fashioned shaming, in your opinion? No naming names, now. This is a thread for getting the your secret toxicity out of your system in a relatively harmless fashion.

A certain President comes to mind...

*what? I didn't name names*

people who don't finish their yuletides apparently

Re: Dishonor and shame upon the heads of the deserving!

The nurses at my parent's rehab center, who did not give her enough water or fluids (she was supposed to be getting IV fluids, but they didn't give her enough). The reason she had to go to the hospital last night turns out to be that she got dehydrated, which caused problems at her surgery site.

every customer who walks into our shop and bitches that it takes forty minutes to get through to the customer service phone lines (and expects the store to have access to a line that gets answered in three seconds)

it's the middle of retail peak, what do you expect

New Fandoms, New Ships

[(Anonymous)]

What new fandoms have you gotten into? Have you started shipping anything new? Anything that you would be in fandom for, but the fandom doesn't exist?
