elynross so eloquently puts it but dear god!
I am the 299th sign-up for While We Tell of Yuletide Treasure 2005.
I offered 61 fandoms.
61, people.
And there's no asterisk there, much as I love Barry Pepper and Thomas Jane (but dislike baseball in general). [/ramble]
This is, of course (desperately looking on the brightside), an improvement from the 110 fandoms I culled from the master list.
61 fandoms that I feel I either know or can get to know well enough in the time available and that I can be enthusiastic about.
Really, though, Yuletide is the best thing ever. Obscurity seems to evoke quality; the gold to dross ratio is incredibly high.
