Is it Yuletide yet?

*yawns and stretches*

happy new YT season, coalies!
Looks like this year everything will happen a lot sooner. But don't worry, the best time to think about yt gifts is when your still sitting at the beach or around a pool with a cold cocktail in your hand... right?

1000 words isn't that long to do character growth, plotty case fic with added romance or many of the other suggestions made for both gen and ship fics, a brief look at part of a character's personality, or a snapshot of ship/friendship/family would be much better than a half-assed OOC attempt at either ship or gen.

AYRT

Yes, I get that (my exchange fics generally end up in the 3-4k range) but the way AIRT phrased it implied to me that they consider Yuletide an outlier in being 1k. Which just isn't the case, especially since most other exchanges copy a lot of YT's rules. Unless they mostly participate in Big Bangs, I guess, but I wouldn't really call those exchanges.
