yuletide buzz is building already! It's time to start panicking about my requests! I hate writing requests, and I always feel sorry for the person who has to write for me.
Here are some great posts that are helpful:
Yuletide for Newbies, by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marycrawford explains how the exchange works, what you will be committing to when you sign up, and the important dates, which have been updated for the 2007 exchange.
thefourthvine on writing a good request which was based on a poll made last year while Yuletide was running. I've linked the poll because there are many, many comments discussing what makes a good request, and what kind of bad requests have scarred them forever.
liviapenn on making a request that your writer will enjoy, using the imaginary fandom of Ghost Soup. (The way she writes about it, I'm starting to wish Ghost Soup wasn't imaginary...)
3. I signed up for NaNo. Um. Yep. *screams in terror* I'm st_aurafina on the NaNo site, if it ever comes back up. Anyone out there that I can add as a buddy? *quakes* Should I make a Nano filter? *ponders* I'll think about that.
