What is Yuleporn?

In an exchange as large and diverse as Yuletide, it usually turns out that a lot of people would love to write or receive explicit stories but aren't comfortable asking for them or writing them without a little more information. Yuleporn is a mini-challenge that exists to help unite Yuletiders in requesting, writing, and reading the porn of their Yuletide dreams. Have no Optional Details fear, Yuleporn is here!

How Do I Participate?

  • Leave a comment on this post linking your letter if you are interested in getting an explicit fic for YT.
  • Add any optional details you want in the comment – additional prompts, favourite kinks, DNWs, &c..
  • If you don't have a letter or are a pinch-hitter, you can still leave prompts here, but make sure to include your AO3 name, your fandoms, and the characters you requested
  • When it comes time to upload, tag your fics with "Yuleporn" on AO3 so other interested parties can easily find all the good stuff when the collection opens.
  • Enjoy.

Here's a totally optional copy-paste form if you like forms!

As always, you don't have to participate in Yuleporn to write or request porn - it's just here to make things easier - and Yuleporn is 100% open to all kinks (or lack thereof).

(This post is mostly copypasta from time immemorial; please comment if anything should be updated! Credit to Morbane for this year's title.)

I have supposedly successfully signed up for Extended Security Updates for Windows 10. Wish me luck.

A confirmation e-mail would be nice, but apparently this is Microsoft so no. Damn, I should've done a screen cap of the window saying I did it.

+++

Today I got a surprise in the mail. I'm on Medicaid, which should pay for everything on my routine dental work. Every time I've done something with my dentist, I've been assured by them it was covered. If it isn't, I don't do it.

Today I received a dental bill for a total of $324. It looks like it includes routine checkups and x-rays from 2024, which should've been and I was told was covered by Medicaid, and something from 2021(!) that I don't understand at all. Why am I suddenly getting hit with something from 2021? Especially since everything should be covered. What is happening? This isn't right.

Hilariously, when I called them today, I was told this can't be discussed or disputed by phone, only by e-mail or an in-person visit, and since the dentist is a fair distance away in Bayside, I'm trying e-mail first.

Going to bed soon, but I wanted to x-post this from Bsky:

that starfox fanart reminds me of what i'd see on personal sites before social media had a stronghold on the internet. i used to like "drifting" in the "world" each fandom had by browsing independent fan sites/webrings, forums, LJ comms, etc.
people talk about le discourse is why fanworks are worse now, but i think it's that people having to "market" or dumb themselves down for an audience and the numbers game is the real reason why. i used to have so much fun browsing fansites and seeing absolutely off the wall indulgent fanart
"weird stuff still exists" sure but some is performative. otoh in high school i found a JP ace attorney fansite that has either klavier or daryan as a caterpillar in a nsfw context. would someone post that now instead of 2008? maybe, but it just hit different then i guess
idk where i'm going with this

Other points I should've mentioned: The risk of "breaking containment" holding people back just as much as ~discourse~ and the numbers game of social media. There's a lot to unpack because it happened in "the old days", but I feel like it's worse now when things are centralized and a lot of "big" sites userbases overlap. Example: I'm too tired to see if the Ace Attorney caterpillar fanart is still online, but I stumbled onto it in 2008 and it was reposted on Boobjection months later. People were shocked, laughed, or went "omg brain bleach!!!" over it, but it was far away from where the artist could see... Very different from getting retweeted and dunked on by thousands of people. (Also the image was shock value and a shitpost IIRC. Maybe it's on Paheal. I don't want to search lol)

It's proper autumn hereabouts (finally!), and I'm so pleased that the air is cooler and the sleeping cozier. I do wish it weren't growing dark so much earlier, but that's the trade-off, I suppose. I hope wherever you are, the weather is conducive to giving you energy and making you feel alive. I so love the fall.

How was the past week for you, in terms of your fitness journey or in any other aspect? I hope it's been a good one for you and that you feel good about yourself as well.

My Week in Review )

Please take care and be well, my friends! Treat yourselves gently. :-)

Two for One is an annual mini-challenge to help people who like crossovers and/or fusions find one another's requests.

To participate, simply copy-paste the following into a comment:
AO3 Name:
Letter Link:
Crossover Type: (ie. crossover, fusion, or either)
Applicable Requested Fandoms:
Potential Crossover Fandoms: (you may list specific combinations you're interested in, ex. Megamind/Treasure Planet, or generally request any of your Yuletide requests with each other, or list additional fandoms you'd be happy to have crossed with any of your requests)
Prompts/Optional Details: (as many and as detailed as you like)

One of the fandoms in each crossover or fusion prompt must be one you are requesting for Yuletide; however, the other doesn’t have to be. It doesn’t even have to be in the tagset at all!

Some clarification about crossover types:
Crossovers tend to involve Fandom A's characters interacting with Fandom B's characters or worldbuilding, with everyone retaining their canon backgrounds. Ex. Aurora and Red Riding Hood team up to defeat a villain, or Clark Kent falls into a portal that takes him to Tortall.

Fusions tend to be AUs in which Fandom A's characters have always existed in Fandom B's setting instead of their own, often replacing Fandom B's characters. Ex. Pacha and Kronk as contestants in the Hunger Games, where Kuzco and Yzma are referees. (A fic like this in which Hunger Games characters also appear would be a hybrid between a fusion and crossover.)

some good things make a post

  1. did eventually get myself out to the plot (after aborting the first attempt and going back to bed when I realised I'd made it almost to the main road without my bike helmet). successfully acquired More Saffron.
  2. cooked a lot of beetroot, most of which I grew, for dinner -- one of the books I acquired from Oxfam just for interest, The Modern Vegetarian, has a "textures of beetroot": keftedes, tzatziki, a bulgur pilaf and a salad using the greens. I had a mix of colours, and the ombre gold-to-pink were very pretty in the salad. (and picking over the leaves very, very carefully yielded a tiny snail! who is now in the viv.)
  3. I am continuing very slowly on the mend from the probably-a-cold from nearly a month ago: today I didn't get any active minutes walking up and down inside the house to hit step goal.
  4. the post brought Fancy Chocolate. even some of it is Fancy Chocolate in my preferred flavour of same!
  5. I have somehow achieved having my accounts almost agree with reality about how much cash is in my wallet! and I think I've found the remains of at least one Missing Receipt in the back pocket of a set of trousers, which does at least provide an explanation. it is very satisfying when I actually manage this.

    season 2

    Episode 11: Endou jumping off the building in slow-mo and then the pain hits. XD

    Suou and Sakura jumping to cover Nirei! Nodding at each other!

    Lol I like how Tsubaki was like 'Sakura don't!' but then everyone approved when he called Endou a piece of crap.

    Nirei getting so angry on Sakura's behalf. :')

    Sakura: "You choose where you belong."
    *Yamato thinks of Takiishi*

    Lmao Yamato's unpredictability making every stop and start multiple times.

    Aww Suzuri having fun gaming. :')

    Episode 12: Sugishita's reaction when he saw the trio. 🤣 Poor Nirei's gonna get an ulcer at being yelled at so much recently...

    Nirei telling Fuurin's story was adorbs animated. And he got so much praise, babyyyy.

    Sakura hearing that the Fuurin he came to Makochi to find was what Yamato wanted and Umemiya stopped. I wonder what would have happened if Sakura met Yamato first? I mean, Sakura would still be Sakura, he wouldn't suddenly become a 'bad guy', I feel like he'd get hurt bad or be used if Yamato pulled out all the stops.

    Season 3, season 3! *bangs fist on table* Training and Umemiya backstory next! And then...the big battle for Makochi!
