turps: (SeSa baby! ( bubbleforest))
As I've just been reminded of this.

It's no secret that I love Christmas. I love the lights and the decorations and the tree and pretty much everything about it. Included in that love is SeSa. Or to use its official name. Make the Yuletide Gay.

This is the popslash fandoms secret santa story swap challenge, and it's awesome.

I've been discussing this with [livejournal.com profile] llamabitchyo, talking about past years, because I have such vivid memories of my SeSa experiences, both good and the not so good.

I've received fantastic stories. Chris and JC were salt and pepper shakers! \o/
I've wanted to go, nooooooo!!! Why!? when getting some assignments. Sure, I'll write JuC for one of the best and most loved JuC writers out there, why not? *head desk*
I've had amazing mentors and mentored in return.
In order of taking part have written JoeC, JuC, Timbertrick, Trickyfish and Bassez.
I've scrapped a story close to deadline and written something completely new.
I've written well into the night and hated a story so much if I could I'd have physically burnt the thing.
And also fallen in love with a story as I was writing it.

It's one of the times when fandom seems to pull closer. We cheer or agonise over our assignments together. Discuss progress in vague ways. Meet each reminder with posts that range from Nooooo! to YAY! and every year there's that feeling of satisfaction when you hit post.

It's also a great challenge to take part in. People are there to cheer you on, encourage and help. Plus, you get a story crafted for you in return. How awesome is that? You too could request that epic story where JC is a scene queen who seduces Chris the security guy so they can have a threesome with Mikeyway. And if you do request that, come say hi. I think we should be friends.

If you're a newbie, if you've drifted away from the fandom, isn't this the perfect time to write again? I think so.

So go, join.

Reading comments I saw someone had sent me a PM.

Going to my message center I found out that I had quite a few in there, including important stuff and feedback on fic.

I was sure I'd set it up to email me if I got a PM, and in fact had been notified in the past, but when I got there the notify by email box was sort of faded out.

Does anyone have any idea why that's happened?
