Lost my Yuletide Yay
Dear Yuletider;

Er, this is kind of awkward. I asked Astolat and Elyn to tell me what the situation was after I'd revoked my sign-up, and they didn't, but I'm guessing with the way the Yuletide system works that you are still assigned. In which case: my love for you is undiminished (unless you're tazlet, which would be kind of ironic, wouldn't it?*) but I just lost the yayness of Yuletide thanks to OTW madness and, er, tazlet). So I revoked my signup for this year, on the basis that I wouldn't have any yuletide fun writing a story for the OTW archive which I hadn't planned on supporting.

You are the only person involved whom I actually feel I owe an apology to. Sorry, and best wishes.

I've always enjoyed writing Yuletide fic regardless of recipient, fandom, or indeed anything else - it's a unique writing challenge. I have regrets that I felt I would be unable to achieve the proper state of mind under the circumstances: I have strong regrets if my doing so were to spoil Yuletide for you. As House said when faced with the PI, the baby, and the Dean of Medicine: "This is an awkward situation. I believe the awkwardness would disappear if I removed myself."

*OTOH: if you're tazlet, this awkward situation is partly your doing, and I would suggest you ask for a pinch-hitter, too.
