Using very small words, can someone explain how Yuletide works?
I know it's all about the rarer fandoms, but is it essentially a really big ficathon where you make multiple requests instead of just one? And then you say which fandoms you can write in from the list and you eventually get assigned to write in one of them? Is your writing assignment a specific request within that fandom (for example, a pairing and a prompt of some kind?) Can you say that you'll only write slash or gen or whatever? I'm so puzzled and I so shouldn't sign up for anything when I'm barely writing things I want to write, but I can't help but be intrigued too.
