The Yuletide Meme

przedI've just finished and posted my Yuletide story (nearly 11K words and done early! Yay!) So I figured why not break my not posting slump and do the Yuletide meme.
1) First year you signed up for Yuletide
2009.
2) Last year you signed up for Yuletide (other than this one)
2020. My Yuletide story was about the only thing I wrote last year. Funny how a pandemic will do that to you.
3) Have you signed up this year?
Yep!
4) Have you skipped signing up any years since you first took part?
One year. 2015, which was the year I both turned 50 and did my black belt in Taekwondo. That year I didn't do much besides training, sleeping and working. The crazy amount of commitment, plus a few injuries I still haven't fully recovered from, are why I no longer train in martial arts.
5) How many years have you defaulted by the default deadline?
None!
6) How many years have you treated in addition to your assignment?
Two. Three if I get the one I'm planning done this year.
7) How many years have you treated but not signed up?
Never. Part of the fun (if you can call it fun) for me is the anxiety of not knowing what fandom you're going to be matched on. Just picking a fandom to write almost feels like cheating.
8) How many different canons have you covered in your Yuletide stories?
Thirteen, not including this year. A new one every year:
Tombstone
Buckaroo Banzai
Haywire
Edge of Tomorrow
Spy
Gifted
The Nice Guys
Stumptown
Random Harvest
And then my two crazy crossovers, which I am inordinately fond of:
Wild Wild West/A Study in Emerald
A Knight's Tale/Hotel California (yes, the song)
9) What AO3 ratings have you covered in your Yuletide stories?
Not rated: 6 (Unless there's stuff that really requires ratings, I hate rating my stories.)
Gen: 2
Teen: 4
10) What AO3 categories have you covered in your Yuletide stories?
It always surprises me that in spite of considering myself mostly a slash writer, I've written a lot of Gen and a bit of het for Yuletide.
