Is that— bells ringing? Keyboards clacking? The sound of two thousand stressed writers pancing furiously about the floor? Ah yes, Yuletide.

Hello. MCYTblr. I am back again.

You are looking fine today as we move towards the end of the year. Is that a new cologne you're trying? New shirt? New glasses? It's working for you. How have I been? Well.

Well.

*I smack the wall, curtains spring aside, revealing my flip chart presentation that I've had lying in wait*

It is time for me to talk to you about Yuletide again. I was here earlier during tag nominations, but it's sign-up time, and I want to make sure everybody has a change to participate in this if they want to.

What's Yuletide?

Yuletide is an annual mega-exchange for small and rare fandoms. It runs in the close of the year, with a 1000 word minimum for gifts, with gifts revealed anonymously on the 25th of December and de-anoned on the 1st of January. It is easily the biggest exchange in multi-fandom-exchange-world, and last year more than 1,350 people signed up.

Why does everyone sign up?

Well, it's tradition, for one. There are a lot of people that only do Yuletide as their big exchange every year. It's a big holiday spectacle, it's really fun to see it operate and see pinch hits come out and get nabbed in minutes, and people kind of put on their holiday outfits and turn out for it.

For another thing, if you are in a small fandom, it's the one exchange where you can actually have a shot of getting a gift for an obscure manga fandom, or an out-of-print book, or a tv show from the eighties. If your fandom has five people in it, the odds are higher than average that two of them are signing up for this exchange, and hey presto, suddenly you're matchable in your fandom for an obscure podcast.

For another, and this is the biggie, the fact that this is an exchange for small and rare fandoms has led to a certain tradition and vibe for the fandoms that people nominate. People bring their most obscure and fun ideas, going, "hehehehe wouldn't it be fun if someone wrote a story about this", and into the tag set it goes. There is SUCH a spectrum of fandoms in the tag set.

This year there are 4,263 fandoms and 16,735 characters in the tag set. Let me just skim through and look at some of them.

There are commercials, web sketches, art pieces, songs, music videos, board games, podcasts, a dizzying assortment of anthropomorphising different places, items, and ideas, and RPF from a marvelous variety of historical periods (so, y'know, historical fiction if it was published professionally). There are people who nominated tik tok sketches. Twitter threads. A bridge. Book binding techniques. You ever wanted to write a romance between Knitting and Crochet? That's in the tag set, and someone wants to prompt you to do that. Happy Yuletide.

So if you are at all the sort of person who likes a prompt challenge, BOY is this one just a MARVELOUS one. I know I personally am going to be signing up for Humans are Space Orcs (tumblr post) and Fandom Exchanges (Anthropomorphic) amid my more traditional fandoms.

And as for my more traditional fandoms, and the reason why this post has the tags it does (I would get to it eventually)— there is a lot of MCYT in the tag set! I put out a post saying GUYS, the smaller fandoms might apply for this, and BOY did people show up for it. I scanned through it, and the MCYT (and adjacent) that made it in is:

Karmaland SMP

Legacy SMP

Lifesteal SMP

Moonlight SMP

New Life SMP

Outsiders SMP

Rats SMP

SMPEarth

SMPLive

Witchcraft SMP

Pirates SMP

Mianite

Slimecicle Cinematic Universe

SBI Rust

Generation Loss

You could make an entire sign up, 3 minimum requests and 4 minimum requests, and only select MCYT fandoms. The wild thing is that you can only select a max of 10 fandoms to offer, so you actually couldn't offer all of the MCYT. ZombieCleo Witchraft SMP is in. Tommyinnit SMPEarth. Clownpierce Lifesteal. Tubbo SBI Rust. Oli Rats SMP. A wealth of options for the block folks.

So come, join me! What's that? You say this sounds excellent, you're in? You want to know how to sign up? Well this post is already long enough so I'm putting the rest below a cut.

You sign up on the collection here, using fandoms listed in the tagset here. Before you do so though, I'd recommend you check out the blog, especially their "how to sign up" post here, because even if you're used to exchanges, the way Yuletide works is a little bit different. Let me do a quick breakdown here.

Requests

# of Fandoms

You have to select a minimum of 3 fandoms that you are Requesting (a gift that you want made for you), up to a maximum of 6 fandoms. Each fandom has to be unique. For each fandom, you can request between 0 to 4 characters in that fandom, and 0 means "literally you can hit me with anybody", and the up-to-4 characters are the people you definately want to show up in the fic.

AND MATCHING

This is one of the things that Yuletide does differently, because most fandom exchanges do "or" matching, where they match you on either characer A OR character B, (maybe you only offered character B) and you can pick among any of the selected characters on the person's request to write for. Because Yuletide does AND matching, you will only be matched if you offered every single one of the characters the person has selected, and then you get to write for every single one they have listed in their fandom, unless they say differently in their letter. If they requested character A and Character B, you get to deliver a gift that includes them both, according to the rules.

Bu like, in practice, a lot of people are a bit more like "you can pick only one of these guys if you'd like", because that is how everyone is used to things running in most other exchanges, plus people don't want to be too picky, so you can specify in your letter if you definately 100% want characters A, B, and C, or if you're fine with just A, or just A and C, or whatever constellation of characters you're chill with.

This year they have added optional freeform tags you will click on, that will specify either A) use every single one of these guys I selected. B) I have specified in my letter which guys I need for sure and which ones you can swap, C) Dealer's Choice Of Guys Go Crazy.

DNW and Optional Details

Yuletide is an "Optional Details Are Optional" (ODAO) exchange, so technically you could request (or receive) an offer that just has the characters and then you get to go absolutely buckwild for the two month writing period. Most people, however, do not want to do that, so that is where you'll put in Do Not Wants (anything that would ruin the gift for you, from major archive warnings to kinks that you don't vibe with to headcanons you loathe), and some prompts and/or likes for your person to jump off of.

DNWs absolutely must be abided by, and breaking a person's DNW is grounds for getting turfed from the exchange. Following a person's prompts or lists of likes is technically optional, but definately best practice, and y'know, part of the whole spirit of the exchange. Most people are doing their best to adhere to both the DNW and the Optional Details when they do their gift.

You can just format your DNW and Optional Details on the Ao3 signup page (easy, fast), or you can link them offsite in a letter (fancy, you can do formatting, people do them in google docs or dreamwidth pages (the traditional and more accessible option)). There's a tradition of people posting their letter links here, so that people can get an idea for what sort of prompts and signups people are offering, and make sure they're matchable to people with especially fun ideas. Note: you do have to duplicate the data if you're doing a letter, cause if you put your DNW in your letter but NOT in your Ao3, the mods won't enforce it.

And while we're here, that last link is to a community blog that includes a place where you can promo your fandoms to lure people into signing up for your guys, or participate in mini-challenges within yuletide for people who specificially want poly relationships (Three Doves Challenge), or characters of colour (Chromatic Yuletide), or horror/darkfic (Crueltide), or smut (Yuleporn), or art (Wrapping Paper), or even more. There's even a poetry challenge!

Offers

# of Fandoms

You have to sign up with a minimum of 4 fandoms, to a maximum of 10, for fandoms you are Offering (a gift you are willing to make). You must offer at least 2 characters for each fandom, to a maximum of 20— but there's also an "any" tick box if you want to go full "hit me, I like a challenge" and you'll write anything (in the tag set) within a fandom. Each of your fandoms must be unique.

Writing Period:

Signups are open through the 21st, with assignments out by the 23rd, and then you have until the 18th of December to deliver your gift.

Important Notes

You must be 18 or over to participate in Yuletide (because you might be matched with someone who requests smut), and signups close on 9pm UTC on Saturday, 21 October.

There's a known issue where the safari browser isn't letting people sign up properly, (when you get an exchange this big sometimes things break), so they say to either sign up on mobile or use a different browser. So that will be fun for me.

And that's it! Yuletide! Just under a week left to sign up, and 351 people have signed up as I write this letter at 1:30am. I just refreshed it and now it's 352. You can sign up on the Ao3 page here!

JOIN ME EXCHANGES SUCH FUN LETS GO.

MCYT UNDERDOG EVENT RULES, TIMELINE, FAQ, AND ELIGIBILITY

Rules:

1. Fics cannot break the AO3 or Tumblr TOS

2. You can only write for people who are not in the top percent of fics in their fandom (check below for eligibility). Non eligible characters may be in the fic, but only as a side characters and cannot have too much of a main focus

3. No NSFW. Suggestive stuff is fine, but the fic cannot be explicit.

4. That's it! Have fun!

Timeframe

Event start: Now! As soon as this is posted!

Collection opens: Collection name is MCYTUnderdogEvent2024

Event ends: May 31 at 10pm cst, with the close of the collection

FAQ

How will eligibility be determined?

It will be determined by the amount of fics the character is tagged in for the fandom in question. Then, the characters with the most fics for them (about top ten for larger fandoms, will change depending on the fandom/smp size) will be excluded

What about characters who are in a lot of fics but not the main character?

Sadly, they will still be excluded if they are in the top percent, as there is no way to consistently tell main characters without searching through fics, which would take too long.

What about non player characters, like NPCs?

They are considered characters for this! Some are even popular enough that they aren't eligible! So if you want to write about an NPC who is eligible, go for it!

Do fics need to be a certain length?

Nope! Can be a drabble, a one shot, a multi chapter, or a small poem! All it has to be is about one or more of the eligible characters.

Do fics have to be finished to add them to the collection?

They do not have to be! It can be a fic that you plan to work on even after the event ends, or just an idea you want to get out there

Eligibility

To avoid having to write too many names (as the eligible characters outnumber the non eligible characters) the characters listed below for each fandom are the non eligible characters. Your fic cannot focus on any of these characters. If the fandom you want to write for is not listed below, then all characters in that fandom are eligible! List below as to not make this post too long.

I was just thinking about how many servers Pearl has been in. And something came to me. Has no one noticed that almost any major smp Pearl has been in has had some kind of apocalypse happen to it. Empires Smp s1: The Rapture, Hermitcraft s9: MOON BIG, Evo: The watchers over time, Legacy Smp: The court of withers.

This is angst potential for a fic in which Pearl sees herself as the apocalypse in a sense.

I've been thinking a lot about wither!Skizz lately. I have reasoning behind it and some things that lead into it, but I have no idea where he would have come from or how this would have happened to him.

The idea comes from Legacy SMP. When the Legates used their emergency Rift travel to escape the s1 world and reach s2, they accidentally dragged Skizz into the Rift with them from his world. Maybe the reason he was able to be yoinked like that was due to the Withers following the Legates through... picking up one of "their own" along the way.

Right now Skizz is notorious for his terrible wither skeleton skull luck, which I think is related somehow. A friend also pointed out that Withers that get out of hand while Skizz is around tend to stay relatively under control, with him coming to the rescue for Tango and Gem, but when he's not around, suddenly the Wither is completely causing havoc. Hmm...

Currently, my best guess is that Skizz is mixed human and Fortress People - the race of humanoids that the wither skeletons came from. But the Fortress People went extinct when the undead plague hit the Nether, so if that's the case it must be something pretty far back in his ancestry and he hit the genetic lottery. (This option would also require me figuring out what the Fortress People may have been like 😅) There's also the option of him actually being a wither/wither skeleton hybrid, but I don't really know how that would work. Either way, still figuring out abilities and looks that go with this, but Skizz is definitely Wither-related somehow!

WATCH BLOODLINES SMP:

a guide on the youtube series Bloodlines SMP, and how to watch it :]

Bloodlines SMP is a 5 chapter roleplay series by 8 smaller minecraft youtubers, featuring cameos from others. the cc's mainly made building tutorials and calming cottagecore stuff before this and their builds are absolutely aweinspiring :] you may know them from Legacy SMP (especially season 3), Truly Bedrock, or OneShot SMP!

it's a storydriven series where everyone posts 1 or 2 (depending on their own editing style) videos per chapter, each chapter takes place over 1 month. the videos are around 10-30 minutes, featuring great editing and inner monolouges, and while some of them stream, lore doesnt happen outside of eps. each month theres around 8~12 videos

the story focuses on the 8 villagers who fled their home, Greyhaven, when it was destroyed by pillagers. they each had a role back in the village (farmer, fisherman, florist, ect) that helps them bring an important resource/skill to the group, and they're all trying to figure out what skills they can have to help the others in the future.

the survivors have no knowledge on magic or the supernatural parts of minecraft, this is all very new to them, and tensions rise in chapter 1 as mysterious magic and prophecies cause a split in the group

by the start of chapter 2 the characters are separating into factions or going off on their own based on their own principles and beliefs about what happened, and its very very interesting seeing everyones perspectives, especially when a character can come off completely differently from someone elses pov. we're only in chapter 2/5 (chapter 2 just ended!) and everyone is at eachothers throats already

characters include Block, a "warrior" who's trying SO hard to prove his family that forced him to be a fisherman wrong (and immediatly failing and jumpcutting to his Fishing Depression Montage), who in chapter 2 seems to be shaping up to have an INSANE villian arc (if you're a skizz or jimmy fan you'll LOVE seeing him get to go nuts), Sevaris, a gardener who is the first person to ever discover redstone and decipher it using her prophetic dreams and help from Allays, Frog, a girl who's taking the fact that everyone she ever knew died a lot more seriously than the others, and tries to figure out how to cure zombie villagers after making the Heartwrenching realization that these used to be people, and Mr. B, a lovable Prick who is incredibly against all this magic hogwash even though he seems to know the most of the lore around this place. he has NO secrets don't WORRY.

this is my recommended viewing playlist, its the order i use when showing the smp to my friends but you can start with anyones perspective :] i recommend watching all 8-12 videos in one chapter before moving on to the next as opposed to just watching from one perspective, but thats just my suggestion. right now everyone either has 2 or 3 videos, and we just finished chapter 2 out of 5 :]

there is also an official discord which you can find on their twitter, and the members are very active with fanart on tumblr and twitter. :]

i hope this guide helped, if i can convince just like 3 more people to watch bloodlines than i'll have doubles the fanbase its so goodU9VX

#HEHE. ART BY ME ALSO i woulda credited it if it wasnt8U9VB #also. mr b sounds exactly like mumbo but if he was just a massive asshole (AFFECTIONATE./POS) its the best EVER i Love him8U9 #HC #MCYT #BLOODLINES SMP #BLSMP #BLOODLINES #BLOODLINESSMP #hermitcraft #empires #smp #minecraft youtubers #legacy smp #waxfraud #sevaris
