Nominations are what you want to read? What you want to write? Are there prompts? WHAT?

For some reason, I am incapable of understanding the way yuletide works.

Every year I mutter, "Maybe I should sign up for that," and every year I share my mutterings with people and am met with, "Oh, it doesn't work that way." So is there someone out there who, rather than saying, "The rules are distributed over these nineteen pages" can summarize the process in, say, something like three long bullet points of text stating, "Go here, do this, be sure not to do this, and your obligation will then be to do this by this time in this way"?

HELP MY TINY BRAIN.

As others have said, you can join the pinch-hit list and offer to write stories where the original assignee defaulted. The downside of this is that 1) you have less time to write, sometimes as little as three days, and 2) you might not get assigned a pinch-hit. In the oddness and wonder that is Yuletide, there is actually competition to get pinch-hit assignments. Assignments can be snapped up in less than five minutes.
