I'm a newbie. I shouldn't be upset at myself.

Well, poo. Told you I didn't understand this Yuletide biz. I've been waiting to see announcements regarding pinch hits, because I thought that would be fun, and since I didn't see any, assumed they'd come out after the deadline, right? 'Cos they're for those who are good with quick turnaround times, right? Turns out there's a Yahoo!Group you join to watch for them and I've been missing them since the beginning of November. Again, poo.

Oh, there'll be a SLEW of pinch hits that come across the mailing list tomorrow, trust me. :D

There have been very few so far, and there'll be a tide tomorrow, for sure :> And the way I'm writing stocking stuffers is to go through people's Yuletide Santa letters - I have four possibilities already.

Also, while there's an assigned pinch hitter for each hit that got sent to the list so far, there's nothing stopping others from writing additional stocking stuffers for those people :)

Like everyone says, don't fret. They'll be a TON of them once the deadline goes through. Plus you'll get the yuletide madness where you can do a million stocking stuffers if you want to. :)

Also, if you feel like writing stocking stuffers (shorter fics, written after everyone has a 1K fic, but before the site goes live) you can plan ahead with the things that come through the pinch hits list. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, anyway.

I can't wait for Yuletide Madness. Last year I got two amazing fics so I want to return the love and do something extra this year. Even if I just do a few drabbles it'll make someone smile!

Aw. *patpats*

There have only been 60-some so far, though. I'm sure there will be like a hundred tomorrow.
