I did it again. I signed up for yuletide and offered to write in 109 different fandoms. Everything from Weird Al's UHF to Mary Renault's The Persian Boy, 1984 to Winnie the Pooh, plus 105 others.
In my life, I've successfully written (and by that I mean, wrestled a story to completion AND distributed it outside my own minimal circle) in six, maybe eight, fandoms, tops. (Let's see... Doctor Who. Phantom of the Opera. Highlander. Dark Justice. Real Ghostbusters. Starsky & Hutch. And I know I'm missing a couple here.) I could MAYBE write in a few more that I dabbled in but never fully committed to (a couple anime series, maybe vintage Trek, vintage Wild Wild West, even Here Come the Brides - remember that?) but I've really got to reach. And it dawns on me that I could probably write sitcom fanfic (my guilty pleasures are "Friends" and "Will and Grace") but who wants that?
So, you see, even reaching, I can identify less than twenty fandoms I have enough knowledge of to even name. Reviewing the list for yuletide I do have to say ::hanging my head in shame:: that the vast majority, I DID NOT EVEN RECOGNIZE.
Still, I just might sign up. Even for "Will and Grace." ;)

Basically, anything I thought I could write, I volunteered for. It just broadens my chances of getting something I can actually write.
(And I'll just have to do a refresher on anything I get)
