Section: Yuletide and Archive of Our Own

Yuletide, in case you didn’t know, is a fanfiction exchange devoted to small fandoms. It’s kind of huge. The fics are now in and can be found here in and Archive of Our Own collection – though be warned, the traffic on the site right now is through the roof, so it’s very slow.

Yuletide Madness collets extra fics less than 1,000 words in length for requests made this year.

Oh, and the soon-to-be-defunct Yuletide website can be viewed here.
