This is me too. I'd love to write a fic that transcended Yuletide and got recced and became the "defining fic" or "standard" for a pairing/trope, buuuuut chances of that happening are slim to none.

Otherwise, I'd rather receive the fic. Last year I basically did: 6k of casefic for teensy fandom that has like 10 fics total. It was perfect.
