Has anyone ever participated in Yuletide younger than 18?

What it says on the tin.

Yuletide didn't exist when I was under 18. Though, I might've if it had. I definitely sent 8 million fake age statements to people. I am totes over 18, please let me lurk on this Sentinel mailing list.

No, I waited until I was 18 to participate. It's the only time I listened to any rules in fandom, since usually I lied by omission and read/wrote nsfw works. But this was one thing I didn't want to get potentially caught at, since I wanted to keep participating in the future under my main, and I was too lazy to bother with a sock.

I did rubberneck the wank for a couple years beforehand, though.

Someone got kicked out for doing so last year.

I don't think it's uncommon, but most people who do are wise enough to keep some plausible deniability about it.

I did. I started writing for Yuletide when I was sixteen, but I should absolutely have waited -- not for "ethics of writing weird smut for teenagers" reasons, I was just a shit writer.

I didn't realise there even was an 18+ rule until I was over it anyway. I never put my age in any fandom spaces.

I know people do, but most of them make sure not to get caught. Yuletide didn't exist until after I turned 18, but I would have participated anyway. I was used to pretending to be 18 in fandom spaces and never got caught.

The internet didn't even exist when I was 18.

God, I'm old.

Yep! This is actually my first year doing it as an 18+ year old. I've done it for two years prior to this and although I'm now acknowledging that was probably not the greatest idea, I've never had anyone calling me out (on coal or otherwise) for Bad Writing or fucking up drastically.

I was 17 the first year I signed up. I had been waiting for years and I just couldn't any longer. I might have waited if I knew I wouldn't get my fandom of one.
