Oh, go you! Is this your first time?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

YES! WTH am I thinking??!?! I've never even seen fandoms for the things I signed up for.

[travels-in-time.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! And I think that's probably the point--the fandoms aren't very big, which is how they get into Yuletide in the first place. You'll make someone very, very happy!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I hope so. There were a lot of fandoms that I knew the source material for, but I was careful to sign up for ones I thought I could actually write. But still, I hate fic exchanges. I have horrible luck with them and rarely have the recipient leave feedback.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

You're a better woman than I am. I have an allergy to ficathons. ;-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I usually do, the last several I wrote for I didn't wind up getting feedback from the intended recipient, but I'm hoping it'll get my brain going in new directions. I feel like I've been doing the same ol' same old lately

[tejas.livejournal.com]

You need to try something long. That'd stretch your writing brain. :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

there's that pesky plot problem that comes with that.

Although I have a NCIS ghost story idea that's been burbling in my brain for a bit.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

YEAH! Write it!

If you ever want someone to bounce plot stuff off of, you know where to find me. :-)

Speaking of long plotty NCIS fics, I've got one to run through one last beta as soon as my headache passes. It's a 'zine fic, but it's a *good* one.

Have you ever seen any Magnificent Seven (tv show from 10 years ago or so)?

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Never saw an episode. :-(

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Drat, one of them is the ghost haunting Abby's lab. If I can make the idea work. (Which is a big if) It is out on DVD and the pilot is up at youtube

[tejas.livejournal.com]

That's actually kinda cool. :-) I bet it's up on Hulu.

*hands paper bag* It'll be awesome, and you'll be great! Bet you a quid you sign up again next year.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*grabs bag* I hope so. Thanks

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

*hands you a paper bag*

*and a tinfoil hat, for good measure*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

tinfoil hat seems more appropriate!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

You gotta go in prepared.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

A tinhat and a lot of alcohol?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

YES.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Mutters again and questions sanity

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

At least you already feel that sanity is overrated. YOU CAN'T FAIL.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

hmm, good point. I've never even read anything in a number of the fandom's I offered to write in. I can't decide if that makes it easier or harder

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

*breathe* Go you!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

yuletide. *deep breath* yipes!
