yet more yuletide babblings

meretriculaI'm having second thoughts about some of the fandoms I offered. I mean, I really enjoyed writing Shakespeare fic last year, but... what if I already told all the stories I have? but on the other hand, Yuletide is supposed to be about writing rare fandoms, not the fandoms you write all the time already (Temeraire and tennis, I love you tons, but this is not the point). but then when I think about getting my assignment, I don't really know whether I'd be upset or excited not to get tennis or Temeraire. argh! I wish I were a more decisive person.
but then, picking Greek/Roman Mythology (any) might be enough of a "hey adventure! I'm here! come find me!" offer for my entire Yuletide experience. I'm not backing down from that one! I'm a classics major with an entire bookshelf full of books on Greek and Roman myths and I used to make up feminist revisionist versions of them while playing with my Barbie dolls, I can totally handle writing fic.
...so I seem to have decided to go back and un-select Twelfth Night and Midsummer Night's Dream. and probably the fairy tales and a few of the mangas I offered out of random philanthropy because nobody else seemed to want to write them. but I will probably change my mind before I actually get to the Yuletide website, because I am incapable of making up my mind. (thoughts?)
