Who'll you request? What do you want to have written? Anyone ticking "Any"?

I think one would need to be very brave to offer to write 'any'!

[extrapenguin]

Well, I have always been a masochist... (Still not offering "any", though, since I'm informed that some of those are from GJRQ, which I don't have access to. Oh well!)

[nanila]

Cordelia would be at the top of my list (but am unlikely to request anything as am a very passive fanperson)!

[fawatson]

Well, of course, in order to request, one has also to offer to write.

You could always offer to write other fandoms and request something focusing on Cordelia/Vorkosigan series. Or offer to write Cordelia only (which limits your chances of matching on that fandom) and request other fandoms.

Personally, I rarely offer to write any fandom where I do not also offer any characters (which has occasionally led to moments of mild panic when I realise which character was requested). But I must admit the length of the character list this year is a bit daunting!

[extrapenguin]

One has to offer at least two characters (up to eight) per fandom, actually! (Or, alternatively, "Any", which is basically offering all the nominated characters.) If interested, the Yuletide mods typically post a "how to sign up" guide, and there should be lots of people willing to help.

[fawatson]

Oops! Yes of course; I'd forgotten the minimum two character rule. I suppose the logical people to pair with Cordelia would be Aral and Alys and Jole. To that I would have added Bothari or Princess Kareen but I see they haven't been included (in some fandoms 25 characters would be all, but not here!). Unless one wanted to see more of Cordelia as a mother, in which case one would add Miles, Gregor or Ivan.

Ah...decisions, decisions (I say as someone who has never requested Vorkosigan Saga for Yuletide, and though I have in the past offered - carefully not saying what my plans are this year as per the 'rules' - I have never yet matched on the Vorkosiverse).

It has occurred to me: could this community host a thread where people requesting Vorkosigan post their basic requests and links to their Dear Author letter? That way people looking for treats to write will have any easy way of finding the prompts.

[extrapenguin]

Well, one could also offer Cordelia and Captain ghem Estif's Barrayaran lever, or some other delightfully eccentric combination. :P

The community hosts what the community members post, so if you desire a letters post, you could make one. (Last year, I found treatables from a database of letters by fandom that I hope repeats this year, too.)
