wildestrangerI seem to have signed up for Yuletide. Oops. And this is after I'd decided not to write anymore fanfiction (by the way, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shaggydogstail, I am still plotting slutty Captain Jack at the SGC fic for you! Worry not, it will be done! Probably during this year, even!), which, um, clearly shows that I have no fortitude. Which is surely not a surprise to anyone. :)
Anyway, Yuletide makes me curious because it goes (potentially) against the way I tend to write in most fandoms, that is, with an eye on the porn. Cause you see, while I love reading romance plots (long, tension-filled, character-driven, short, humourous, sweet - anything, really), I've become very dissatisfied with the way I write them. I don't like the limitations it puts on my brain (and I realise this a question of my particular imagination rather than the genre as a whole), and the kind of scenarios I end up thinking in - repetitive, uninteresting, cliched scenarios- nor the end result. So the idea of writing in fandoms where the focal point of the text requires me to do something else, or at least something else as well, is very appealing. Not that I haven't asked for and offered fandoms with canon slash, of course, but because of that the question of how to get them together will not be the main thing. I'm hoping that this will make me actually interested in writing fiction again.
So, how many of you are doing Yuletide? What fandoms? Are we allowed to reveal what fandoms we've asked for/offered?
