October, get here soon!

Am I the only one who really can't wait for Yuletide signups to open? I didn't play last year because I was traveling and already overloaded with holiday ficathon stories, and the year before (my first and only) wasn't the happiest experience ever for purely personal reasons, even though I could not have been happier with both the story(s) I got (actually, I'm *still* in rapture over getting 15K words of Hellburner gen; I am the luckiest Yule person ever) and with my recipient's reaction.

But this year, even though I'm crazy busy and should probably be shedding responsibilities rather than taking more on, I really cannot WAIT. I'm already pondering which fandoms to request.

It's just funny that it took me this long to realize this

Browsing through the unfilled Yuletide requests from last year, I hit the Mythology section going full tilt with my brain in "fanficcing" mode -- that is, thinking about pairing and canonicity and thinking "How would I write this? What would need to change to make this work? Is this in character as I see it?" ... etc.

Mythology? EVERYTHING is "canon". ( Cut for musing about freaky mythology sex )
