Do you want to make a spreadsheet about spreadsheets?
Do you still need to figure out what two other fandoms you should request beside the only one you really want fic for?
Or are you trolling ALL the letter posts for placeholders, just so you can write those people some nice, dry coal?

We want to know all about it.

Signing up later and your reasons

[(Anonymous)]

For everyone who hasn't signed up yet, what are your reasons? Are you still considering your requests or letter, or are you waiting to see what others are requesting?

Most people I know just haven't had time yet or hadn't finished their letter or decided which fandoms to offer.

I've posted my letter already, but I haven't signed up yet. I'm not entirely sure yet which fandoms I want to offer and I was too lazy today to shorten my letter for the optional details on the AO3 sign-up. Mostly laziness, though.

I signed up, but my offers are undoubtedly going to change. If I get busy this week, I don't have to worry about forgetting to sign up and will just take my chances.

I posted my letter fairly early because I knew my requests weren't going to change. But my offers will totally fluctuate on letters and whim.

I'm a loser and haven't finished my Trick or Treat Exchange ficlet yet. DEFINITELY cannot sign up for Yuletide if I can't finish that!

I only just figured out what I want my sixth* request to be, and I always do a zillion bucket list offers so that'll take a while to sort out. And I need to be writing an RL paper this week so I don't want to do too much Yuletide stuff at the moment, but my delays are entirely predicated on me-related reasons and not others' requests/offers/stuff.

That being said, I got some work and errands done today, so I'm going to start digging up my old letters right now and tinkering with them! :)

*"last" kind of came out wrong.

I'm still trying to decide whether I want to commit to signing up. I'm already working on a treat for someone and it's going to be quite long. If I sign up and get the person I'm planning the treat for, that would be fantastic. If I got someone else, though, I'd need to spend time doing their request justice, so I'm dithering.

Haven't finalized my requests/offers, haven't written my letter. Sign-ups are open for a week, I feel no rush.

I have 'flu right now and I'm trying to figure out if my complete lack of Yuletide enthusiasm is just because I'm too drained to give a crap about anything or if signing up would be a horrible mistake. Hopefully a few days and some signs of other people posting letters for my fandoms will clear that up one way or another.
