fail_fandomanonI'll bring some red delicious fruit soup.
Some raw broccoli, just like meme told me to with their eyebrows from across the store.
I can't believe nobody is bringing spider bread. Do holiday traditions mean nothing to you people?!
- Rice! From a rice cooker!
-- And I will bring rice from a pot on the stove.

36 Hours to Reveals
Dec. 23rd, 2025 10:06 pmyuletidemods posting in yuletide_adminWe're so close! This year, Yuletide reveals are at 9pm UTC on 24 December - that has changed since last year.
COUNTDOWN TO REVEALS
Issues often arise when posting from Google Docs. You can use this Google doc or this extension to help convert your document to HTML for a better copy/paste experience. The problem with italics and punctuation can also be solved by including the punctuation inside the italics tags.
If your story has no space between paragraphs, check to see if you pasted your story into the HTML tab instead of the Rich Text tab. Paragraph spacing occasionally gets added to places like summaries when you edit them, so you might want to double-check that also!
( Below the cut are examples of spacing that’s too big, too little, and juuuuust right. )
If the spacing in your work is wacky, we recommend editing it to avoid putting off potential readers.
Before July 2024, the default setting for comments allowed on your work was "Registered users and guests can comment." In July, AO3 changed that so that the default setting is "Only registered users can comment." That means that if you posted your Yuletide work without changing the settings, no one can comment on your work without logging into their account.
If that matches your preferences, that's great. If you'd like to make it possible for anyone who reads your work to comment, please edit your work and change the setting. This setting is directly above the Work Text field.
For warnings, Choose Not to Warn is a valid warning tag. You may wish to use the end notes if there is content that you don't want to spoil with specific tags.
If your fandom is completely new, please use the tag that was approved into the tag set. These tags were formulated to meet archive guidelines and will be more quickly canonized, so that your work can be found from the Fandoms page of the collection. We recommend you also use "Unspecified Fandom", because this will show up in the fandoms list immediately, even if the actual fandom tag isn't wrangled straight away. Please do not tag your work with Unspecified Fandom as the only fandom tag. Instead, tag with both Unspecified Fandom and the actual fandom tag.
If your fandom is a subset of a canonical tag (like an RPF fandom that belongs in Actor RPF, or a season of a Let's Play fandom that has an overarching canonical), we recommend tagging with the parent fandom. Please reach out to mods if you're not sure that's what you should do.
Please check these guidelines for whether to post treats in the main Yuletide collection (closes Dec 24) or the Yuletide Madness collection (closes Dec 25). Unlike in some exchanges, Yuletide's treating period does not continue indefinitely. Please get your treats in before reveals - or you'll need to wait until next year.

Tips
Formatting
Getting your story up on AO3 is the main thing. But, now it's there, please check it over again before reveals - especially to see if you've left in any bits you're going to replace like [xxx]. But also please check for legibility - check for text with no gaps between paragraphs, or text with massive gaps between paragraphs. Click/tap for more information...

Your comment settings

Tagging and "Unspecified Fandom"
Please tag your work accurately, including warnings. We encourage you to use "Unspecified Fandom", alongside a specific tag, to help users find a fandom that isn't wrangled yet. Please reach out if you're not sure how to tag a new or non-canonical fandom. Click/tap for info...

Your author's notes
Please keep these positive. Please don't identify yourself - no social media links! Also, please don't apologize for your work, tell your recipient all about what a tough time you had writing, or otherwise ask your recipient to accept a negative sentiment along with their gift.Treats!!
Additional works are warmly welcomed for participants signed up to Yuletide* and all additional pinch hitters.Please check these guidelines for whether to post treats in the main Yuletide collection (closes Dec 24) or the Yuletide Madness collection (closes Dec 25). Unlike in some exchanges, Yuletide's treating period does not continue indefinitely. Please get your treats in before reveals - or you'll need to wait until next year.
Not all users accept treats
Please do not create treats for: Arsenic, BluebirdCT, Budouka, couch1141, theblakery, Witgifu. This list is subject to change, as you can change the setting to accept treats (or not) at any time. Check with mods if unsure.Please either comment logged-in or sign a name. Unsigned anonymous comments will be left screened.
2025 in Review
Dec. 22nd, 2025 10:35 pmysabetwordsmith posting in goals_on_dwMany people like to look back on the past year as they approach the New Year. Some have already starting posting their reflections from 2025, so now seemed like a good time to make a gather post for these. Other people will wait until December 31 or January 1 before doing theirs.
If you have a theme, resolution, list of goals, etc. from January 2025, then you can use that as your template. Simply go over that and assess how well you met your aim.
You may also choose to look at a list of questions to examine different parts of your past year. Earlier ones appear in printables for 2026 and for any year. Here are some ideas ...

Three for the Memories Coming Back Next Month!
Dec. 22nd, 2025 10:47 amyourlibrarian posting in newcomers
3 for the Memories' 2025 session will be open for posts on January 3, 2026 and will run for 3 weeks until January 24. Event participation is as follows:
1) Three photos only per person during each annual session. Members are encouraged to discuss the reason for their choices.
2) Photos can be hosted at Dreamwidth or elsewhere, and should not be larger than 800 px width or height.
3) All three photos should be in the same post. Cut tags should be placed after the first photo.
3 for the Memories is not a competition, and entries are not being judged. Rather, participants are encouraged to share photos they took in 2025 that they find meaningful in some way or which represent how they experienced the year.

threeforthememoriesSignup Post: Community Thursdays in 2026
Dec. 21st, 2025 11:02 pmysabetwordsmith posting in goals_on_dwCommunity Thursday was started in 2022 by goodbyebird.
On Thursdays I'll make an effort to engage with communities on dw in one way or another, be it by commenting, posting, reccing, and so on. Heck, even creating a community, or doing mod work for said community. I'll then talk about what I got up to in my journal, using the Community Thursdays tag.
This will not only bring light to new communities for folks, but also bring some much needed life back into them.
The goal is for bloggers to support communities and thereby keep them active. Be aware that Dreamwidth has a vast sink of dormant or dead communities, so it's vitally important to preserve the ones we love. There are various approaches to doing this challenge. See below for some ideas...

multiple journals?
Dec. 21st, 2025 09:48 ammaevix posting in newcomerssoooo ...
google told me that dw allows users to have multiple journals under one account with easy switching between them. this would be so ideal for my compartmentalization dream & would allow me to start writing more.
but i can't find it in the faq.
any idea where to find this info or directions on how to use this feature? is it even real? D:
also happy holidays y'all!

How's It Goin, YEM-edition
Dec. 20th, 2025 08:04 pmhitokage posting in getyourwordsoutHard to believe, but it's true: we're in the final stretch of 2025's Year-End Marathon. If my calculations are correct, this should put par at 24 days or 24 590 words, depending on your pledge type. Any way you look at it, that's a lot. If you're on par or ahead of the curve, congrats, you're amazing. If you've fallen behind, that's okay, too. You're trying and that also makes you amazing. Yes, even those who feel (rightly or wrongly) there is no way you can meet your pledge. Abuela is proud of all of you!
So as we enter this final stretch, how are things going? If you've hit your goal, are you going to keep going? If you haven't, do you have any strategies you intend to use to carve out writing time during this busy time of year? What can we do to help you, ahem, get your words out?
For myself, after (accidentally) hitting my goal in the first week of the month, I've let myself shift gears a bit to work on revising and rewriting, while also being very aware that the last half of this month was likely to be Very Tiring. Banking so many words in November definitely helped take the pressure off, but I'm going to keep at it for at least another week. For one thing, I've got some dangling ends I'd like to get settled before the new year!
Whether you're soaring ahead or trailing behind, the fact that you've tried at all is awesome. Writing is hard work! Writing in December is even harder! No matter how things have gone over the course of this marathon, I hope you've found it useful. And if you feel up for an even bigger challenge, pledging for 2026 is open! Pledging unlocks the full GYWO experience starting January 1st, so if you think you'd like to join us, we'd be happy to have you.
Whatever your holidays this busy season, we wish you the best. May your heart be full, your mind at peace, and your favorite beverage at the exactly right temperature.

Signup Post: 26 Things in 2026
Dec. 20th, 2025 04:00 amysabetwordsmith posting in goals_on_dw26 things in 2026. (See the challenge from 2025.)
Anyone who wants to play, just make your list before January 1, 2026. You don't have to post the list. But maybe show it to someone else so you can tell them you've done a thing. Goals can be big or small, same kind of thing or different things, whatever inspires you to get stuff done.
The challenge will begin on January 1, 2026 and end on December 31, 2026.
You can play here, since this community gathers people interested in goals and resolutions, or in your own blog. Make a post in your blog like "I signed up for the 26 Things in 26 challenge ingoals_on_dw." That's also a good place to keep track of what you accomplish. Then make a tag for it like "26 Things in 2026" and put that on the post; it should stick that way. Check your Interests page to see if you have 2026, Challenges, Goals, Tasks, To Do List, etc. listed there, which helps people find you. You don't have to sign up to participate, it just helps spread the word and attract more readers.

Check your Interests page to see if you have 2026, Challenges, Goals, Tasks, To Do List, etc. listed there, which helps people find you. You don't have to sign up to participate, it just helps spread the word and attract more readers.( Read more... )

Meanwhile, please check your work
- Please check that you uploaded the right draft. Mistakes can happen to anyone, but checking that everything looks right is a crucial part of posting. Make sure your work has a title and that the summary doesn't say "tbd". Please check that all the text is there and you didn't post the version with [name?] and [thing goes here] notes. Any uploaded version must be a complete story that is readable as it is, even if you're still making edits between now and reveals. Please don't risk disappointing your recipient or requiring mods to seek a back-up pinch hit.
- Please check that all required characters feature in the work. This is likely to mean all the characters your recipient tagged, not just the ones they wrote prompts for. Or, if they selected Any, a character from the tag set. They may have selected additional tags that give further guidance about which characters to include - please check that too. If your recipient selected Worldbuilding and you're not sure there's enough of it, get a second opinion - a friend, a beta. If there is any doubt about whether your story contains all the characters it needs to contain, please check with mods. Prompts alone are not automatically permission to leave characters out. The use of additional tags may still leave some grey areas.
- Please review your author's notes. Yuletide stories are anonymous for one week - do not give your name or link to your personal sites or socials in your author's note. Do not promise expanded, future, or replacement gifts - your work needs to stand alone. And do not apologise for your work in your author's note, or talk about what a struggle it was to write. People often feel doubt as well as excitement when giving someone a story, but don't give your recipient your doubts as part of their gift. In your author's note, please follow the principle that if you cannot say something positive, don't say anything at all.
- Please check your recipient's Do-Not-Wants. Yes, again.
- Please check your story in general! You don't have to get it beta read, but please check spelling and grammar. Please make sure that it’s not a wall of text with no spacing between paragraphs - and, conversely, that there aren’t too many blank lines between paragraphs.
(And, having fully prepared for reveals - we hope that you are excited for them! We are!)
Miscellaneous
- If you're unlikely to be able to comment until the end of the anon period or later, consider letting your author know at the AFK post.
- You can find beta volunteers at this post or at the Discord server.

Looking for introductions to decorative CSS on Dreamwidth?
Dec. 19th, 2025 07:57 pmmalymin posting in newcomersI really like looking at the "codes" made for playlists and roleplay blogs like the ones on criscodes. But I don't have a good baseline for how CSS and HTML can be effectively used inside of posts on Dreamwidth. Cohost, obviously, was infamously permissive with what you could do with CSS; most "modern style" social media, meanwhile, doesn't even really let you insert tables or div elements to format, limiting in-post html/css to just some very bare bones text formatting at most.
Are there any tutorials or guides for how to learn to develop your own aesthetic playlist/muselist/ac tracker/muse inbox/etc "codes" from scratch? I'd really love to brush up on my fanciest css without necessarily editing my blog theme every time to do it.
