Why should I nominate?
To create the pool of fandoms available for this year’s Yuletide. More at AO3.

What can I nominate?
Up to 5 rare fandoms and 4 characters you want to request or offer. See what’s eligible here.

When can I nominate?
From now until 26 September, at 9pm UTC. Please check the date and time in your own timezone! Until then, you can also edit your nominations.

Where can I nominate?
Tag set.

Who can nominate?
People with AO3 accounts who intend to take part in Yuletide. You may use only one account for nominations. If you don’t have an AO3 account, add yourself immediately to the invite queue or email the mods.

How do I nominate?
First, check what's eligible. Then go to the tag set on AO3, and make sure you're logged in. Click "Nominate" at top right, enter your fandom and character choices, and click Submit at the bottom. Check the results on the page to make sure you entered them correctly. You don't have to submit all your choices at once - you can change your mind and add or edit your nominations until nominations close.

If you need to explain or argue for your fandom, please make a case for it on the Evidence Post as well as nominating on AO3.

Do I have to use fandom tags that exist on AO3?
Please do, unless:
  • There is no tag for your fandom (it's totally okay to nominate something with no fic!). Make one up, following this guide.

  • The tag that exists on the Archive describes a larger fandom with many parts and your fandom is one distinct part or subset. In this case, instead of using the tag that exists already, please use a tag that describes your specific subfandom.

  • The tag that exists on the Archive has the words 'All Media Types' or '& Related Fandoms' in it. Please don't use a label that includes those words without arguing for it on the Evidence Post
  • .

Please label fandoms according to the Archive's wrangling style. If you’re not sure how to label your fandom, please ask.

When will I see what was nominated?
Not for a while, sorry! You can share what you've nominated and coordinate with other participants at [community profile] yuletide. Moderators will approve tags starting approximately 28 September, and will release the tagset in early October. We will post questions about nominations between now and sign-ups, so please keep an eye on this community.

The Additional Tags at the bottom of the tag set are a new feature from 2023. Here is a post explaining how they work and some background (1, 2).

Disambiguation
When a character name could appear in more than one fandom, or is common, or short, please put information in brackets after the name to show where it belongs. For example:
-Bonnie Parker (Bonnie and Clyde 1967)
-Robin Hood (Prince of Thieves)
-Tulku (The Shadow 1994)
-Leonardo da Vinci (Da Vinci's Demons)

Disambiguation will also solve your problems if you receive the error message: “This character was rejected because it was nominated in another fandom.” If that happens, add more information to the name and resubmit.

Worldbuilding "character"
In most fandoms, you may nominate worldbulding as a character tag, in the format Worldbuilding (Your Fandom Name). However, mods will not accept "worldbuilding" nominations for RPF fandoms or where it is nominated without explanation for a purely mundane canon - there should be a clear fictional element to worldbuild around. See 2021's discussion post about worldbuilding; you may also find recent requests helpful to see how people have used this option.

Other character tips
If you submit a character that is new or rarely used on AO3, a suggestion from AO3 may appear in bold and in brackets next to your nomination after it has been submitted. This is okay, and does not mean that your nomination will be automatically changed. However, if you don't have any disambiguation information in brackets after the name, you may want to add it, because there may be another character with that name. Even if your character has two names, such as “Harrison Chase” or “Elizabeth Burke”, that name may appear in multiple unrelated fandoms.

RPF and Anthropomorphic fandoms must be nominated with characters. Other fandoms will be approved without characters if none are nominated.

Superhero and similar names may belong to more than one character. For example, Batman’s Robin could mean Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, or Stephanie Brown, among others. Please make sure it’s clear which one you mean - in cases where it’s ambiguous, please use their “wallet” name.

We don’t accept group nominations if the group contains named, distinct characters (for example, under Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold, we wouldn’t accept The Five Gods as a character). However, we will allow distinct groups that do not contain individual, named characters. If it may be difficult for us to determine whether this applies to your nomination, please comment in the Evidence post.

Check your nominations!
After submitting, check that your nominations have gone through: click away from the tag set, click back, and, if still logged into the same account, you should be able to see "My Nominations" at top right. Check the spelling and formatting! You can edit your nominations until the nominations period ends.

Enjoy!

PS: as pre-approved nominations can only be seen by mods, consider discussing your nominations with other participants on [community profile] yuletide or at the Discord. In particular, please see this year's RPF discussion post.

I feel like something within me has been unlocked cuz I've been picking up (and actually reading!) more books now than I did during the earlier part of the year. WHO AM I? XD

Re-reads. HUH

* All About All About Eve: The Complete Behind-the-Scenes Story of the Bitchiest Film Ever Made! by Sam Staggs (non-fiction) - This is a v. comprehensive (and at times exhaustive book on anything and everything you'd ever want to know abt All About Eve, a 1950s classic movie and one of my top faves of all time.

I got this book as a gift (from an ex) back in 2001, read it, loved it then. However, it got damaged cuz my previous home got termites. My library recommended it to me (I guess cuz I'd been adding classic film books to my library TBR?) and I said "sure, let me enjoy it once again!"

One thing I appreciated was Staggs' writing style: friendly, gossipy, and thorough. His book covers everything from the short story the movie is based on (he even interviewed the author) to the movie itself (from pre-production onwards) including details on EVERYONE down to secondary and background characters and then the movie's position within general Western pop culture. FWIW, I really liked the first two-thirds (as I'd forgotten some of the details and so, at times, it felt like I was almost reading it for the first time.) However, the book dips in yays during its last third with the exception of one specific chapter. I got the sense that Staggs wanted to cover EVERY aspect related to this movie. BUT it did dragged...except for the next-to-last chapter on camp and the LGTBQ+ community's connection to this film.

At this point, I doubt I'll give it another read, but I deffo rec this for fans of this movie and/or classic Hollywood movies. I gave this 4 out of 5.


I DNF'd

* The Wild Girls Club: Tales from Below the Belt by Anka Radakovich (non-fiction) - [NB: this was actually my second re-read of the month, but I think it fits better in this section.] OK, so I'm not going to assume that everyone knows who this woman is so, here's a quick note abt her. An older Gen x-er, she was (all thru the 1990s and into the v. early part of the 2000s) one of THE sex advice columnists in the US. IIRC, her column (in Details, a men's magazine) started around 1992-ish? This led to her appearing on a lot of TV shows from those airing on MTV to less youth-oriented networks. Her candidness and snark made her appear edgier than, say, Dear Abby.

I borrowed this book back in early 1995 from the library and enjoyed it a ton. This is a collection of essays on sex, dating, and romance. Oh, and there's a bonus section where she interviews dudes like Joe Pesci, Norman Mailer, Russ Meyer, and John Waters.

My library happened to still have a copy of the book, so I borrowed it again...and DNF'd pretty early on, hahah.

For starters, this was a verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry early '90s book in tone (and I'm saying that in a derrogatory way.) The humor was crass and sexist (on purpose), the references were incredibly dated, and Radakovich gave off a "I'm not like those other (ultra-femme, mainstream, Barbie-fied) girls" vibe that made me legit 😬. Oh, and she loooooved using the R-slur more than enough times for me to go "OK, I'M DONE WITH THIS!" around the second story in Chapter 1. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But not before I skipped ahead to the interviews section and ended up CRINGING ALL OVER AGAIN. This is why I'm NOT a nostalgic person at all, hahah. In any case, with this, I can end my impromptu journey into "books I read in the 1990s-early 2000s" that has happened this year. *Happily waves goodbye to that era*

I gave this book a 1.6 out of 5.


* Make Room for Love by Darcy Liao (F/F Contemporary Romance) - Mira is an Indian-American trans woman who ends up as a temporary roommate of Isabel, a Chinese-American electrician. Both of the women have some stuff to deal with (for Mira is realizing that she's also attracted to women while for Isabel is abt dealing with the loss of a sibling.)

I'd been wanting to read this novel since I first heard abt it back in May of this year (it was first published last fall, IIRC.) I did liked that the MCs were in their 30s (and behaved like actual!adults), they had work responsibilities, and had a neat simpatico going on.

The first of the two issues I had with this book was that it's a character-driven novel and I'm a plot girlie. This meant that the pacing was slower than I liked and reading abt their internal conflicts felt, at times, like watching a dog chase its tail.

Then there's the OTHER thing that ultimately killed my enthusiasm for the book.

Before I go into that, let me state for the record that I am fiercely PRO-UNION. I think they're cool and much needed (especially nowadays.) HOWEVAH, the B-plot was abt Mira (who is a PhD candidate) trying to establish a graduate student union at her university. Which, yays for everyone. Unfortch, this overtook the main plot to the point that if I had to read one more scene of Mira practicing for a speech she'd give at a rally, I would end up throwing my tablet across the room. The romance took a backseat and I was NOT happy abt that. (I did hear--through reading others' reviews--that the plot focuses back on Mira/Isabel (including some v. hot times), but even that wasn't enough to lure me back.)

I'd picked up this book with the hopes to read abt Mira and Isabel falling for each other + smooches. But, in order to get to that part of this romance novel, I'd have to read page after page abt organizing. FWIW, I'm sure other readers ate all of that (and probably wish there had been MORE pages written abt the union stuff), but that's not me. *Hands* I gave this book 2 out of 5.


* Murder in the Dressing Room by Holly Stars (Cozy mystery) - Misty Divine becomes an amateur sleuth after Lady Lady, her drag mother, is murdered.

This had a kickass premise and the bonus that Misty is a nonbinary person in their mid-30s. FTR, I did catch glimpses/moments in the story that made me go "oooh".

Sadly, though, this book committed the ultimate sin: BAD WRITING!

For starters, between telling and showing, the author opted to go with the former. And, listen, I'm not a "telling" hater because I know that it has a purpose. In the case of this book, it was overused to the point that it really dulled what should've been an amazing mystery.

And then, there was the repetition.

[Context: this is a description of what Misty, the protagonist, is wearing at the club. Emphasis mine.]

"Tonight, she was all in red: a red off-the-shoulder minidress with a sweeping neckline and hems so high she was more leg than skirt, red crystal jewelry that dripped from each ear and across her chest, and sequined scarlet heels so tall they were known affectionately in the business as "ankle breakers". Thankfully, Misty's ankles were still intact, despite stiletto-related injuries in the drag business seemingly at an all-time high."

SMH.

I gave this 1 out of 5.


Had an awesome time at first (but it all went downhill from there)

So far, I either really like OR hate everything I've started. XD


Good vibes all around

* Hurt Me, Daddy (The Brat and The Beast book 1) by Misha Horne (M/M romance) - In danger of failing chemistry (and losing his football scholarship), high school senior Logan ends up getting tutored by the v. nerdy Caleb, a.k.a Beast (so nicknamed cuz of his height.) If, at some point, their relationship becomes kinky, well... (NB: pardon the bad summary!)

OK, so this is one of those authors whose catalogue I've almost read in its entirety. I approached this first book in a new duology with trepidation. The last book of hers I'd read (Snowed in with Benefits) was quite meh. That said, I'm always interested in whatever she publishes cuz she writes one specific premise and does it WELL: romances abt a bratty sub and the dom (sometimes a Daddy, sometimes not) who uses a combo of spanking and Domestic Discipline (with some mild humiliation for extra sprinkles, I guess) to help the subs better their lives.

It's kinda funny how much this book reminded me of this author's Old School Discipline (the first book by her I ever read and which I loved) because of the set-up and the MCs' ages. There's also the fact that the premise can potentially border on ridiculous, so readers have to make up their minds v. quickly as to whether or not they're game with what happens on the page.

FTR, I read this 272-page novel one in a day.

The entire book is told from Logan's POV (in first person). Though at times suffocating (Logan's life has been a really tough one and he's on the edge of self-sabotaging himself for good), his brashness and humor (sarcastic as it might be) make for a really engaging story. He's hurting and what looks like his only way out of a terrible situation is slipping thru his fingers.

Enter Caleb, a.k.a. Beast, who offers him an alternative that seems almost too good to be true. At first, thru unconventional teaching methods and then, thru becoming his Daddy. It's easy to understand Logan's wariness (since we're in his head all along) after Caleb offers to provide him with anything he'd need. OTOH, it also makes total sense that Caleb's steadiness and single-mindedness (perhaps to an OTT level) are exactly what Logan needs to keep on living.

I liked that the author didn't shy away from their fractured backstory. Also, the angst (though heavy at times) was never so overwhelming as to make me stop reading. OFC, the second half of the book brings in the comfort (especially the last 3-4 chapters.) IF said relief includes a serving of kink, well, there we are. XD

As expected, the intimate scenes are fun, filthy, and weirdly sweet. There are readers who might have an issue with Caleb being the kind of Daddy Dom who knows exactly what his bratty boy needs. Especially because, like Logan, he's only 19 y.o. I understand wanting to know WHERE AND WHEN exactly did Caleb learned abt the kink lifestyle, trained under, etc. NGL, that was NOT me cuz I truly didn't care as this is a fictional story. I was also cheering for these two and their FREAK4FREAK relationship (the latter is meant in how there's literally no one else in the entire world that would understand and accept each other the way Logan/Caleb do.)

One of the main reasons why I enjoyed this novel was that the writing was solid from beginning to end: no typos, no weird turn of phrases/slang, no Pop Culture commentary, and pacing issues.

THAT SAID, there were two things that lowered the ranking for me:

1. The novel ends v. abruptly and in a kind of soft cliffhanger. Things get resolved in chapter 1 of the second novel. My best guess is that the author wrote a massive novel that then she split into two. [NB: this is somewhat confirmed as I'm reading Book 2 right now. It deffo feels like one long book split in half.] I didn't mind this as much as others did cuz I already had gotten the second book and the novella, hahah. I WAS IN IT TO WIN IT!

2. There are only 2 female characters and they're HORRIBLE PPL. What's even stranger abt them is that they're both addicts and behave inappropriately with young male adults. In the case of Logan's mom, she's an abusive and neglectful parent. As for Walker's mom, she's an alcoholic who clings to her cougar status to an embarrassing level. It's interesting that they're both at opposite ends of the socioeconomic strata (Logan's mom is an exotic dancer (and potential escort?) who is poor while Walker's mom has a much more affluent life.)

In any case, like most of this author's books, women tend to be either evil bitches (in this novel's case also terrible mothers) or nonexistent. I wish she's publish a novel with at least one solid female character. Alas.

I gave this book 4 out of 5/


Current fic tally

Have picked up 155 and DNF'd 76.


Up next...

Last time: "I've got a non-fiction, a biography, and a couple more of queer romances on my immediate TBR."

Ended up returning the non-fiction cuz my brain was NOT in the mood. Also returned the biography since there are other things I want to get to first. I'm now halfway thru the second book of the "The Brat and The Beast" duology, a mystery/thriller, a queer femdom (?) M/F set in space, and a historical paranormal that is NOT cozy. So a little bit of everything, heheh. Fingers crossed that the Reading Yays continue.

I was doing quite well for myself and then a. I got stranded in the middle of a book I was enjoying for some stupid reason and b. got hit by a busy patch. Slightly under a month this time, anyway, and the books were largely enjoyable ones!

Very chatty this evening apparently! )

Okay! Lots to say about a lot of those, apparently that's what comes of writing late in the evening after a long day!

Please use this post to talk about the RPF or RPF-adjacent fandoms you're interested in nominating, requesting, or offering this year!


RPF nomination categories can be fluid in Yuletide, so we encourage RPF fans to coordinate with each other about the social circles, career groups, and characters you're interested in, to help ensure the resulting categories suit as many people as possible.

Coordinating your RPF nomination with other fans is the best way to make sure we can approve RPF fandoms quickly and easily. You are also welcome to reach out to us directly at yuletideadmin@gmail.com to discuss a potentially sensitive nomination.
This year's eligibility post covers what characters and fandom labels you can nominate. Here is a post from 2023 that explains why we may reject some RPF nominations.

While each RPF fandom must still meet Yuletide rules for size (no more than 1,000 complete works in English), we won’t reject an RPF fandom label for being too broad (i.e., for covering too wide a topic). However, we prefer not to approve two fandoms if one of them is a subset of the other, so please use this post to make sure your nomination doesn't clash with someone else's.

- Porchay Pichaya Kittisawat/Kim Khimhant Theerapanyakun (KinnPorsche)



Opt-ins- Totally fine with Recipes that are not actually doable in real-life, or shouldn't be done in real life. Is it bad? Is it fictional? Does it require professional equipment? Is it dangerous? All fine!
- I will love whatever multimedia, non-traditional, experimental thing you want to try, as long as it's allowed by the exchange and falls under at least one of my requested mediums.
- While I did not request podfic because I couldn't find enough existing fics that fit, I would be delighted by audio elements or even a straight up audio version on top of a text version.
- If I requested a group of characters or a solo character, you can pair any of them up with whoever as long as you keep my DNWs in mind. This includes OT3s and moresome ships.
- Relationships tagged as romantic (/) can also be interpreted from a pre-relationship lense, or as any flavor of queerplatonic.
- I'm fine with any additional side or background characters and relationships, as long as you keep my DNWs in mind.
- I'm fine with OCs, including as major characters. I'm also fine with no characters at all!


Generic likesOptional details are optional!
- Cooking as meditative or stress-relieving.
- Bread! Brioche! Dough! Fuck I love dough.
- Food that is meant to look pretty, or smell good, or have a certain texture to it.
- Worldbuilding about ingredients, utensils, appliances, cooking methods, tastes, celebrations and rituals...
- Halloween jokes and dares, halloween decoration, halloween food.
For more likes, feel free to look at one of my other Dear Creator Letters, but this is extra extra optional.


PromptsOptional details are optional!

DCU (Comics)
- Americana? Give me that apple pie, and pumkpin latte, and marshmallow hot chocolate. Could be from Alfred or Martha, could be an attempt by one of the others (did it work?)
- Rogue-themed coffee drinks. No way this ends badly.
- Gotham's gothic edge turned warm cosiness like sitting in front of a fireplace watching the storm outside.
- A compilation of Alfred or Martha's excellent cooking and baking for autumn fruits and veggies.
- Food sharing as an apology, or an overture of peace. Who buys cheap pumpkin muffins and leaves them on the windowsill of a secret safehouse they shouldn't know about?
- Poison Ivy's version of seasonal cosiness.

KPop Demon Hunters (2025)
- Seasonal Korean food! Persimmons, chestnuts, sweet potatoes, ...
- Chuseok!! What do the girls do for Chuseok? Do they have time off, and do they use it? Or do they have their own little celebration as a group? This one might work well for a little poem about one of the girl's feelings on family.
- The Saja Boys becoming more familiar with modern foods and comforts.
- Do they have similar ones in the demon realm? What do they eat there? Is it the same, or has it diverged? Actually, do they need to eat, or not? Does food taste the same?
- AU in which it's not about singing, it's about cooking.
- What are the Huntrix' favorite seasonal drinks?
- Soda pop but it's about barley tea or something.
- What would an autumn-themed fan event look like? Cosy fanmeet at a café? Themed photocards?

Naruto (Anime & Manga)
- Once again, seasonal local ingredients! There's mushrooms, pears, oysters, ...
- That first prompt kind of ignores the geographical differences between Japan and Fire country, but actually, if you wanted to go deeper into the worldbuilding of food supply chains and fictional cuisines, why not?
- Seasonal events and celebrations. Could be for a specific city, could be for a specific clan. Maybe there are singing rhymes?
- Which character drinks which type of tea, and which don't drink any?
- This is supposed to be cozy, okay, but I'm pretty sure you could also make it angsty by going for whatever weird recipe Naruto came up with while learning to cook on his own, or Kakashi's go-to depression meal, or Sasuke's attempts at reproducing staples from old family cookbooks, or...

나 혼자만 레벨업 | Solo Leveling (Webcomic)
- Cooking monsters. Cooking with magic. All the weird stuff!! With a cosy and seasonal twist.
- Can the shadows cook? I'm picturing one of them in an apron making bread at midnight and aw...
- What does Jinwoo prepare for Jinha when she gets sick with the dropping temperatures? What does she prepare for him pre-canon, too?
- AU in which Jinwoo dropped dungeoning and opened a café. Before or after the power up is up to you.

原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
- So many countries, so many cuisines!! I will be delighted by any and all of them, up to and including the Abyss. Replicating fictional dishes from the game? Coming up with new ones? Having characters make/eat real-world recipes? Yes.
- Using visions for cooking or baking. As a shortcut, as a unique technique, as a gimmick?
- Element-themed warm drinks!
- Who is using food as a love language? As flirting, or courting? Is it working?
- Hydro dragon verses about bringing him food and drinks and making him all cosy so he feels better and the sun comes back.

Among Us (Video Game)
- What does a cosy autumn mean in space? On a ship? On an extraterrestrial planet?
- What does a cosy autumn mean for an alien species?
- Dark humor, but are the imposters cooking crewmate stew?
- Fluffier, can the imposter(s) and crewmate(s) come to an understanding through sharing food and drinks?
- Space shanty about leaving cookies out for the imposter so it doesn't kill you. To tie it back to autumn... Verses about various crewmates trying out different types of cookies and all getting killed, until the last one tries pumpkin spice mix? Maybe the imposter is all conked out and snoring from eating so many cookies, all cozy in the warm vents?

Katekyou Hitman Reborn!
- I feel like I'm picking fandoms like pins on a map, but Italian cuisine! Japanese cuisine! Fusion!
- In my head, Mafia Land is home to the weirdest, nichest, most controversial fusions. As in, I'm familiar with fried chicken cheese sauce california rolls, nutella naan pizza, and the abomination they call French tacos. I'm 100% certain Mafia Land fast food is worse. What do they invent for the fall?
- Poison cooking. That's it. Seasonal, cosy, but also as upsetting as possible.
- Would Reborn write a 10k expose on how to make good coffee? Probably, though I'd be just as delighted by a shorter info dump *cough* recipe. Actually, I'm not sure if that would count as a fanvid/be allowed in this exchange, but if you dress up in a suit and make a video tutorial? I'll love you forever.

KinnPorsche: The Series (TV)
- Here we go with Thai cuisine too. Same thing, seasonal ingredients? Seasonal celebrations?
- Time-intensive recipes, elegant plating, pretty sure Vegas would pull all the stops sometimes.
- Chay's smiley face decoration was so cute. Does he have any other similar recipes? Does he also plate takeout like that?
- Post-canon KimChay reconciliation through gift-giving!
- Food industry AUs. Are the Theerapanyakun the owner of a high-end resort? Do they just have a lot of restaurants in their money laundering portfolios? Did the Kittisawat inherit a family restaurant that they're struggling to keep afloat?
- Continuing on the food industry AU, a short commercial for one of their restaurants! Shot in the fall, with a menu full of cosy food?

Yuletide 2025 Evidence Post

yuletidemods: A hippo lounges with laptop in hand, peering at the screen through a pair of pince-nez and smiling. A text bubble with a heart emerges from the screen. The hippo dangles a computer mouse from one toe. By Oro. (Default)

Yuletide 2025 nominations begin on September 15 and end at 9 PM UTC on 26 September. See what can be nominated on the eligibility post. You can brainstorm, coordinate, and promote your fandoms at the participant community on DW.

Some fandoms need evidence to be approved. Comment on this post if:
  • The fandom you are nominating has too many stories to be eligible, but only because a tiny pool of authors has written most of it, OR because a significant majority are unrelated but tagged as crossovers, OR because a significant majority tagged as 'English' aren't in English

  • The fandom you are nominating appears on AO3 as part of a larger “umbrella” fandom, but you can clearly show that the fics for your fandom are under the limit

  • The fandom you are nominating is a fanwork (please include a link to the creator’s permissions statement and also describe how the fanwork is distinct from its source fandom)

  • The fandom you are nominating is an original work shared on a fan archive (please include a link to the creator’s permissions statement)

  • The fandom you are nominating is a social media post (please check RPF restrictions), headline, meme, or other “ephemeral” canon (please include the URL for the canon)

  • The fandom you are nominating includes a Worldbuilding nomination for an RPF or other real-world fandom

  • The fandom you are nominating includes the words “All Media Types” or “and Related Fandoms” and you believe you need to use that label

  • The fandom you are nominating is closely related to another fandom, especially if the other fandom is ineligible (ex: a Star Wars cartoon or tie-in novel, a prequel to a popular book series, or an audio drama sequel of an ineligible TV show)

  • The fandom you are nominating does not yet exist on AO3 and is hard to google (very common name, few sources in English, etc). Note: Most new fandoms do not need evidence.

Mods will not consider the following evidence:
  • Use of original characters

  • Crossovers

  • Fic quality

  • Ambiguous endings in stories that are marked 'complete'

  • Mistagging, wrong language, or not-many-authors evidence for fandoms that appear to have 1100+ eligible works on AO3. If you believe your fandom should be an exception, talk to the mods directly before commenting with evidence


If your fandom is one of these cases, you must leave evidence this year even if the fandom has been approved in the past. Otherwise, mods may reject the fandom if it’s nominated without evidence.

You must submit evidence before nominations close at 9 PM UTC on 26 September. It may take us some time to review and respond to your post, so if your nomination slots depend on our response, we recommend posting your evidence as early as possible!

Please put the fandom name in the subject line of your comment as well as inside your comment.

Suggested template:
<b>Fandom</b>:
<b>Possible issue with the fandom</b>:
<b>Why this fandom should be considered eligible</b>:
<b>Link to source (ephemeral fandoms, fanworks, and original works on fan archives)</b>:
<b>Link to creator's permissions statement (fanworks and original works on fan archives)</b>:

You are welcome to link to documents containing your evidence, if your post is long.

You can use bookmarklets for checking how many of your fandom’s works on AO3 are in English, complete, and over 1,000 words long, for any rating.

If your fandom appears too big before you use those filters, and is easily under 1,000 works after you apply the filters, then you don't need to tell us about it.

kill your darlings 2025.

infrequencies: (altscoups)
[personal profile] infrequencies
Surprisingly I do have darlings to kill this year. Most of them are half-cooked PWP premises so I'm not bothering dropping those here because what if I bang them out (hehe.) in like 3 weeks??? I've been locking in on trying to finish longstanding projects (the list of people I owe fics to gets longer year over year....) so I am clinging onto those for dear life for now. 

working title: reflector
ship: wonwoo/seungcheol; wonwoo day
premise: seungcheol can travel through mirrors, and has discovered a world within that's eerily similar to theirs. wonwoo is his roommate and best friend who has been in love with him for years. (convoluted! but it was a WIP okay!!!)

Jeongcheol are exes, Wonwoo's tired of Jeonghan's presence though he technically hasn't done anything wrong, and boba eyes puppy face just can't get over him.

----

mirror, mirror

i. Time is a function of lies, a trick of the light, a mistranslation.

--

From what Wonwoo understands of the mirrorverse, it's that everything inside of it is the inverse of what they know and understand. The worlds, universes, even—though Seungcheol often calls them 'planes,' which doesn't feel as all-encompassing as what he gleans it to be—were theorized to be in moral opposition. There's science fiction that poses the hypothesis of the other version of yourself—the reflector, the one you see in the mirror—being 'evil' or having an exacerbation of all of your worst qualities. He shudders to think what reflector Wonwoo's life looks like, and what he carries that's exacerbated in this universe. Little versions of yourself segmenting off like broken glass. Each decision, another shatter. Propagations of a life that could've, would've, should've been lived.

The first time that Seungcheol transports through a mirror, all Wonwoo sees is light. Like forgetting your sunglasses at the office with the sun at your back while driving home, or the flash of a camera on yearbook picture day, half-blink, grimacing and powder-pale.

He doesn't explain what it is he's seen. Leaving it alone is easy enough, until Seungcheol ropes him into it. Isn't that just the way?

He's crashing into Wonwoo's bedroom at a godforsaken hour.

“Don't be mad,” Seungcheol pleads. "But I have to tell you something."

Light travels wherever Seungcheol goes. It’s just a fact. Even in this darkness, the little slits that leak through the windows refract off his skin as he shimmers back into view. Into this plane of existence.

Wonwoo squints in his direction. His form slowly molds into something humanoid, then solid next to his bed. He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes.

“Why would I be mad?”

“Wonwoo-yah,” Seungcheol moans. Hands rest on his shoulder and shake him side to side. He tries—and fails—to wrestle the curled in ends from his fingers. Instead of giving up, he forces himself onto the small ledge of space between Wonwoo and the lip of the mattress. Always the little spoon, no matter what.

“Just promise.”

That can't be good. The arm he loops around Seungcheol’s waist is bookended with a fist to the stomach. A retaliatory elbow hits Wonwoo in the ribs.

“Ow!”

“Move over.”

Reluctantly, Wonwoo moves, and takes in a deep breath of cologne that is definitely not Seungcheol’s own. It sticks to his skin, his hair, under a thin layer of sweat. Oh. Good.

“How long have you been in here?” Wonwoo asks, peeling open his eyes. May as well brace himself for this conversation. Forty-five minutes of sleep is plenty.

“Long enough.” Seungcheol twists around in his hold. “You know, your jerk-off technique could use a little—”

A pillow to the face doesn't silence him.

“Shut up,” Wonwoo groans, reaching around for his glasses.

Seungcheol’s laugh, a loud hak-hak-hak, fills the air. Small comfort, for now. Wonwoo blinks at him as he solidifies into an actual shape, face, person.

“You saw him again.” Seungcheol going quiet is answer enough. "Hyung."

Going through it once was more than enough, but Seungcheol has always been a masochist. The worst part is that Wonwoo can't find it in him to be angry.

"We talked about it," Seungcheol says, as if anything he says doesn't make him sound desperate and ridiculous.

"They're not the same person."

Wonwoo's said it a million times, and the way Seungcheol responds has been the for a million and one.

"It's closure."

"You've been going to see him every week for the last three months," Wonwoo points out, which draws Seungcheol's shoulders to his ears. He presses his face to Wonwoo's chest, breath warming through the cotton. His hands are resting limply at his sides, though Wonwoo can feel him fist the sheet under them.




working title: should've never thought
ship: jeonghan/mingyu/dk
premise: eclipse tent scene. jeonghan edward. dk bella. mingyu jacob. yes, I did see this in the DK fest prompt archive but I had already started this before that. did you know that i got into twilight right before new moon released and for my 13th birthday, my then-best friend burned all of stephenie meyer's music recs onto a CD for me? also stephenie meyer was only an MCR fan, and edward was not inspired by gerard way nor was twilight MCR fic. he was, however, maybe at most a facecast idea for edward. and she was right to say it because 13 year old me wanted that man so bad and so does 32 year old me. 

I still might write this (but with a different triangulation) (you can probably guess who) (maybe not!) but there are things that I wanted to change, like putting them in an abandoned cabin owned by the Cullen family stand-in, making the James/Laurent/Victoria relationship a polycule (Vernon Victoria felt sooooo bigbrained when I was excited about this.) rather than coven loyalty...giving Mingyu a knot.... (thank you scissorghost, you changed me as a person... I did reread this fic and WHEW!!!!!!) and so on. I haven't written Seokgyuhan yet, actually, so like. Who knows. lol. 

It's not very long but I do really like it. Yeehaw. 

supermassiveblackhole

 

“Keep your thoughts to yourself.”

Keeping an even tone takes more self-restraint than Jeonghan would care to reveal. The cabin they're staying in leaves much to be desired, but it's enough out of the way that Seokmin's scent could be lost out here. Could, but it's assaulting Jeonghan's sensibilities. His ridiculous proportions are already more than insulting. 

“What am I thinking, Yoon Jeonghan-ssi?” Mingyu leers from his spot on the floor, arms still wrapped around Seokmin where Jeonghan can’t see. His long arm is draped over Seokmin's shoulder, and Jeonghan flinches at the response Mingyu sends in his head. One loud whooping sound meant to startle him, which makes Jeonghan’s lips curl back to bare his teeth. 

“You know I can’t turn it off, right?” he hisses, trying and failing to keep his left eye from twitching. “If he didn’t need you—”

A graphic flash of Mingyu between Seokmin's legs floods Jeonghan’s mind. Aggressively large palm pressing muscled thighs back, Mingyu is pointedly overenthusiastic in this fantasy. Jealousy washes over, and it takes everything inside of him to not spring. To tear the dog limb from limb. He can't give it to you like I can, right? Mingyu's taunting echoes like the wind. 

Jeonghan grits his teeth.

“No.” His gaze drops to Seokmin. “I can't. We’ve never.” 

“Won’t, or can't?” 

Maybe if Jeonghan turns Seokmin tonight, he won't be too mad about him ripping the pup limb from limb. “I'm not going to explain my biology to you.”

Yuletide is a fanfic exchange for rare and tiny fandoms. When you nominate, please follow these guidelines to help us approve and organise fandoms.

We have not made any changes to eligibility this year. However, we made a few major changes last year, loosening our requirements around the scope of individual nominations for anthologies and RPF. You’re now welcome to nominate anthology canons (where multiple short installments of canon are different stories) by their overarching title, but if one person nominates an anthology canon, and another nominates individual installments of that canon (episodes, or skits, or stories) we will bring this up for discussion when clarifying nominations, and will approve one or the other, not both.

Similarly, you can nominate an RPF tag that covers a large profession or long period of history if you want, provided that the number of qualifying works under that tag on AO3 is under 1,000. However, if two people submit RPF fandoms where one fandom is a subset of the other, we will bring this up for discussion when clarifying nominations, and approve one or the other, not both. We strongly encourage you to coordinate your nominations with fellow RPF fans - here is a post where you may do so.


Here is what can be nominated for Yuletide 2025! )

written by [archiveofourown.org profile] RisalSoran, performed by [archiveofourown.org profile] BardicRaven
Summary: Garak knew that Humans celebrated the anniversary of their respective days of birth. He had observed Humans express disappointment if their respective birthdays had been 'forgotten' -by which some meant no one had offered them a congratulatory greeting upon the occasion, and others meant that no one had offered them a 'birthday celebration'. Yet he also knew that Julian did not enjoy celebrating his birthday, or being reminded of his birthday in any way.
That was a problem.
Garak did not know the solution - but perhaps he could come up with one.
