The general advice for when you don't want a canon as much as the others is to drop it, but when that means not signing up at all it kinda sucks to say.

You could try to find a fandom that no one's offering (difficult to tell, given bucket offers don't show up) or request a set of characters people are unlikely to offer together while requesting Any in the two canons you really want, but even then you might get someone who offered Any.

You'll have to decide if signing up is worth the gamble. One year, I got fic for a fandom I realized I should have dropped because I was definitely disappointed when gifts were revealed, but it wasn't the end of the world- just a bummer.

I'm thinking I'll sign up with a fandom I'll be least disappointed in getting from my other choices, but I've been kicking myself over not nominating my third one-man-fandom-of-my-heart that I genuinely WOULD have loved to get something for.

I guess there's always next year...

Yuletide newbie - where do I see offers?

Read the rules again and look at the signup summary in general.
