Titles coalie, are you around? My title was funny and I want to see if it makes it to your annual list!!!
Still working on my letter! A little self-conscious because some of these ships are major characters where I've written a lot in previous letters, and some of them are minor characters where it's like "you know that one scene in canon? That but more please." I want both of them equally but I hope my creator won't be fased if some sections are a lot more verbose.
Also Stats Coalie, to tell us about good eggs who wrote many things!
The trouble with Candy Hearts being a biggish exchange that comes so soon after Yuletide is that Yuletide activity levels always lead me to overestimate how much interest there'll be for my tiny fandoms in other exchanges, so I enthusiastically add things that got decent numbers of requests and offers in Yuletide to the tagset and then not one person requests any of them. Happens every year (not even with the same set of fandoms!) and is always a bit of a deflating start that leaves me realising there is very minimal chance of any requests I'm excited to treat popping up until next Yuletide rolls around.
I kinda wish I had this problem because activity for my Yuletide fics was non-existent
Do you have links to previous list threads? This is the first time I've heard of the titles thing
CYRT
I've made a conscious effort to try and get into more recently released canons over the last couple of years because my old favourite fandoms were getting less and less interest every Yuletide, but I kinda played myself because now my optimism is reawoken that surely this fandom is fresh and new enough that people will want it outside Yuletide as well, and they never do. (You may think getting into canons that were not just recent but actually fannishly popular might have been a better move, but apparently my fannish brain is just not up for that.)

Yes, I had a good year and I want to see my name in a list!
A coalie last post was asking about the list of participants who've taken part in every Yuletide. Found this version of the list from 2022:
https://coaltide.dreamwidth.org/6480.html?thread=13253968#cmt13253968
And checking up, they all seem to have stories in Yuletides 2023-25 as well. So, in alphabetical order because it was bugging me the previous list wasn't, that's:
cjmarlowe
Daegaer
Franzeska
Joanne_c
Kass
Mosca
Nope
pollitt
sandyk
shrift
Tiriel

I'm so used to writing Original that I had forgotten the pleasure of getting the kudo email every day or so

Luckily Yuletide is one of the rare exchanges where OW is a somewhat popular thing to read, since you will learn about the original source right there...
What is Gen trying to say? Their comment makes no sense to me.

Not that stats coalie, but I went through the collections and counted a little! Some people who wrote 3+ fics may not be included as I didn't know how to add Main and Madness collection together without lots of extra effort, or because I was dumb and missed someone. Sorry!
(I also added a * after the names for each fic longer than 10k that the person wrote, because that's also interesting info to me.)

The only thing I can think is that they're classifying fic about five-minute fandoms like Humans Are Space Orcs, Snake Fight Portion of Your Thesis and similar where it's based on more of a concept than a fictional canon with established characters as original works.
I wonder how much the list changes if you count total words written instead of just fics.
The eternal twelve!
THANK YOU Coalie, and THANK YOU to everyone on this list, who went above and beyond! Assuming that quite a few of these would be pinch hits too, not just treats.
Considering doing this for the first time ever!
I got a fic from someone on this list and it sucked. Quality over quantity next time please.
I was on the fence about it, but I've signed up. I have some ideas.
