meridian_roseTwenty prompts of original fic done, just ten to go for that meme :D
I'm counting those three hundred words towards my fic total; they're not from my novel but they are original fic and pirate guidelines apply :D
I signed up for Yuletide after agonising over what to ask for, and what to offer. I wrote a really detailed 'Dear Yuletide Writer' letter too, because I am increasingly aware of how crappy it is to get matched to someone in an exchange and have no clue as to what will make them happy. The signups are open for a while, so I won't get my recipient info for a few days, but I went through some of the letters and found two people I might want to write 'treats' for. Treats don't have to meet the one thousand words minimum; you just see someone's prompt and think it would be fun, so you write them a little extra gift :D
Legend of the Seeker wasn't listed this year for Yuletide. It's still eligible at Small Fandoms Fest so I don't think size is the issue, just that no-one nominated it. I'd taken for granted that someone would. Maybe there's enough fic still being produced for it and so people were nominating even rarer fandoms?
Which brings me to a question for the LotS peeps: do you think our fandom is dying? There hardly seems to be any interaction at the discussion posts on People's Palace anymore and there are only a few of us writing regularly in the fandom. New viewers are still being acquired though, so I thought maybe we could pimp the show.
This post gives details on pimping your fandom at Small Fandoms Fest. You can see the sort of pimping posts that have already been featured. An overview of the show/movie, the characters, a few pics, and a list of comms and websites of interest. It might be useful to do this and at least pimp out all the LJ and DW comms in the hope of getting a few more members. I don't feel I'd do the best job of this by myself, but maybe we could maybe work on it as a group and have one person submit it? This round is open until the end of January and then a new round of pimping starts. Good idea? Terrible idea?
Finally, the Merlin Personality test, snagged from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
confessoralana; I'm Gwaine :D With the swishy hair. But this is awesome not just because Gwaine is one of the major reasons I still bother with the often misogynistic Merlin, but because it's fairly accurate :D Especially the bit about being too lazy to live up to my potential :P
You're Gwaine!
Take What character from "Merlin" are you? today!

Freedom is very important to you, you hate to feel trapped by anything.
You are very intelligent but sometimes you can be lazy and not achieve your full potential.
You trust your instincts and you can usually tell within minutes of meeting someone whether they are someone you can trust.
Sometimes people complain that you are too flippant, but that is just because they don't understand that you like to protect yourself by not revealing quite how much you care.
