Roundup: Yuletide 2022

I finally managed to do Yuletide this year!

Yuletide is a long-running, very popular exchange for small-ish fandoms (with fewer than 1,000 works). The DW community is yuletide_admin, but that’s just a starting point. This year 1868 works were posted in 1141 fandoms (1141).

(In 2020, I treated but didn’t sign up. In 2021, I signed up but defaulted.) In 2022, I wrote a fic for the New Year’s Resolution collection to make myself eligible to sign up again, I signed up, and I wrote one work. I received two works.

I didn’t find time to participate in all the activity surrounding the exchange, such as submitting my fic for various sub-collections, or writing treats or pinch hits. I also haven’t yet read much of the collection beyond my own gifts. (Where did my time go???)

But I’m happy with what I wrote because I managed to read a book for it! (Reading books, as opposed to listening, has been elusive for me since the panini started.) I read The Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson and I wrote a fic about Baldr & Hel & Loki.

I received fics based on the fantasy series Carnival Row and the ethereal movie Only Lovers Left Alive.
