Yuletide!

[telophase]

My yuletide assignment just hit my inbox, and I called it! It's the one I offered on a whim, rather than any of the ones that I already had potential ideas for. XD

But it means that it has now become Very Very Important for me to enlist the arts & humanities librarian here to help me track down a book I checked out a couple of years ago which I recall has all sorts of nifty potential ideas in it, but which title and author I've COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN. FOUND IT! By the simple expedient of figure out what section it was most likely shelved in, going there, and eyeballing the shelves until I found it, which took about five seconds as it was at eye-level. XD Sometimes the simple methods are best!


*eyeballs f-list* I mmmmay perhaps be contacting a couple of you for idea-bouncing-off and beta purposes later...


(And I am DOUBLY HAPPY because I think I am THIS CLOSE to solving yesterday's RSS/XML/XSLT problem!)

this is also my first time, so fun!

now...there's some items i need to get back from my (not-so-dreaded) exboyfriend for this!

I know! I must Review the Canon now! OH DARN!

I hope you have fun! I had way more than I expected to last year, which is why I'm doing it again. XD

i feel bad i didn't leave the person any better details for the way i filled out the form. oh well. darn. IN ANY CASE.

this is so going to be fun. i can tell.

No worries! Write a Dear Yuletide Writer letter in your LJ, tag it 'yuletide' and when the inevitable Link Your Letter thread comes up in yuletide, link it there. Or date it in the future and leave it at the top of your LJ for your writer to discover. :D

Or not! Some people just don't do that. :)

[tokyoghoststory.livejournal.com]

yeah, i'm going to do that now actually :) it makes a lot of sense.


YAAAY.

I'm just hoping that mine doesn't overwhelm my writer with SHEER VERBIAGE. XD

[tokyoghoststory.livejournal.com]

HAHHAH!

[tokyoghoststory.livejournal.com]

i'm also sure mine will be long as heck.

Aaah. Assignments went out. That's why there's as many Yuletide posts in the last hour and a half as the last week.

*enjoys reading Yuletide letters*

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Yup! XD And reading Yuletide letters is one of the unexpected joys of the season. XD

*sighs wistfully*

At least I offered beta-services and am keeping my name on the Pinch Hit List. :(

As I commented in another friend's Yuletide post, I feel like I'm not one of the cool kids anymore or that everybody else gets to go on the class field trip without me. ;-)

My assignment is essentially one of my last year's possible requests! Not just the fandom, but the details too! I think that's hysterically funny!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Heeee! XD

My assignment is the sort of request I'd have had if I'd requested this fandom. Only in about two sentences instead of the forty million it takes me to write anything.
