At last!

Unlock your lettteerrrrrr. But I'll wait a while at least.

YES! I got the person I wanted!!!!

Not that the other letters in my fadoms were trash, it's just that I matched with this person on 2 fandoms and I like having choices.

I AM SO HAPPY!

boooo, I got the letter with the most lacklustre prompts.

Incomplete letter, previous letters that made me suspect I wouldn’t get along with them, and a complete id mismatch. Well, guess we’ll see. At least I love the fandom.

I'm cracking up--I've matched with a friend, and there's multiple prompts that we've discussed enough that I know EXACTLY what they would want! Plus I was intending on treating them anyway, so that means one less fic to write; but, that said, I've picked up pinch hits for them in multiple previous exchanges, so I hope they're not sick of me yet :(

YES gaming paid off

Great fandom; okay likes list; 0 prompts; placeholder letter; really bad DNWs.

I got a previous recip and we matched on the same two fandoms! Different characters for both, but the prompts are very similar and they left really nice comments on my last fics, so I have a solid idea of the vibes they enjoy and both fandoms are Yuletide staples for me, so I'm already outlining ideas.

Oh wow, I offered this in a last-minute fit of extra offers because "but I want to be surpriiiiiiised" and I barely remembered I had. A fun stretch fandom that's not in my wheelhouse but I loved the letter and I got it.

I may hate myself for this but for right now I'm excited!

I matched with this user on 2 fandoms and they also requested another I feel comfortable with. But they only have DNWs how am I supposed to decide what to write!!!

The letter just repeats the brief prompts from the sign-up, but I know what they want and the canon review will be a lot of fun. Score!

I didn't game, but I got assigned the fix I already started writing! My power has been out for the last 3 hours, so it was nice getting a little bit of good luck

Aha, we meet again old friend! This year we matched on two canons and I considered offering the third. Now I just have to decide which one to write for - one, two or all three? (All three might be a bit weird. But I'm considering it. Coalies, would you think it was weird if you got three gifts from the same writer?)

I love mine. That is ALL. <3

I only matched on one fandom, but I very nearly offered the other two they're requesting and they have great prompts.

Got one of those assignments where the person wrote a lotttt for one fandom, then not much for their other requests. I know another fandom aside from the one we matched on, but neither are the wrote-a-lot fandom. Too bad for them! But on the plus side, they like ships and porn and have a partially finished letter, so at least not a total bust.

The fandom I had hoped to match on, but no prompts, no DNWs, no letter, no text at all.

(Somewhat frustrating! Recip, I'd have written smut if I had slightly more guidance here, and from stuff you've written, I suspect you'd have enjoyed that.)

I'm really unenthusiastic about mine... The only thing in the letter is about an identity headcanon I don't share and actively avoid reading about in other fandoms, and the letter is still a placeholder.

Guess I'll start bookmarking letters to treat once I'm done.

No letter and a single prompt about a part of canon I'm not interested in at all. They're a good commenter, though!

No letter, no prompts, and their past comments are one sentence at best if they bother at all. Winning! /s

Someone I've never heard of before, short prompts, but they seem really easy going, like all the right things, it's one of my long-term fandoms and I will enjoy writing them something they will (hopefully) love. And it's shippy, thank goodness.

gaming = successful!

Couple of options for fandoms, good prompts, and some room to go in my own direction too.

I got a friend whose prompt I had already written up notes for, but now I'm a little intimidated because that fic runs the danger of going long. Fingers crossed I can do it justice!

OH! I could've sworn this wasn't in the signup summary, so this was a complete surprise, but a happy one! I've offered this fandom several times and now I finally get to write it!
