Nov. 15th, 2011 03:01 pmGoing down the list of people's definitely nominated fandoms, I'm surprised at how few things I'm interested in offering for
yuletide this year. I'm sure there are a ton of people who didn't stop by the livejournal community to tell everyone their nominations so there might be a ton more I'd be willing to offer when I see the full list, but out of the two-thousand-odd fandoms people have listed I'm not even going to hit the maximum of ten potential offers.
A big part of the problem is that I've fallen behind on a lot of ongoing series that I would have happily offered a year ago and don't have the time to catch up on them in time for this year. Or I'd love to write for them but it's been long enough that I'd need to do a canon review, and again I don't have time for that unless it's short enough that I could cram it into an afternoon. After knocking those things off the list most of what's left that I know well enough to be comfortable offering it are things that I've been assigned before in Yuletide's past, and I prefer doing different things every year so I don't nominate them again.
Luckily there are a couple I'm able to offer 'Any' in or I'd be a little worried about my ability to be matched, since I'm also pretty picky about what characters I offer in most fandoms.
