Also I was really surprised by how many people doing Yuletide didn't know about the challenge (I am biased b/c of my dwircle)... so maybe more posts about it on the main Yuletide comm? (Or I might have completely just missed all the posts about it because I don't read the main comm all the time.)

We made about 5-6 posts to both yuletide and yuletide and dhobikikutti asked elynross to link to our community on yuletide_admin a few times. We tried to balance between not wanting to spam yuletide/yuletide and wanting to spread the words about the Chromatic Yuletide Challenge and its resources, but...

Hosting a Yuletide fandom promotion and nomination brainstorming fest maybe right at the start of October -- or ealier -- is an idea and I like the suggestion to indicate in "Dear Yuletide Writer" letter whether you're okay with non-English languages and/or codeswitching in stories (I totally went \o/ too) -- will have to remember to suggest that advice to the dark_agenda team for inclusion in various challenge advices and stuff next yuletide season.

In any case, I'm glad your yuletide experience this season was wonderful and fun!
