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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

What's going on now is just the fandom nominations process. Actual signups will be in November and at that point besides requesting characters you can request extra details like a specific situation or how porny you want it to be. Most writers will do their best to put in whatever your request, and they might stalk your journal looking for extra clues as to what you might like. But by the rules they're only obligated to write at least 1000 words about the characters you requested. :)
