The new rules won't effect the fandoms I plan to ask for (except Night Vale. R.I.P. Intern Dana fic I'll never get), but if I had planned to write for Greek Mythology or one of a hundred different things, I'd just give up on Yuletide. This seems like a short sighted move that might have been more tenable if there'd been some rationale behind it presented other than "OMG IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE YOU GUYS."
I'm starting to look at alternative holiday exchanges. I like the warm fuzzies that come from writing gifts for other people even if I don't get anything in return. Do you know of any other exchanges aside from Fandom_Stocking that aren't fandom specific?
Between Fairy Tales & Related Fandoms being ruled (probably rightly) ineligible, and Elementary being (very very WRONGLY) DQ'd, I've pretty much lost my enthusiasm for Yuletide before it even starts.
Sucks for comic book fandoms because I suspect based on a very cursory reading, stuff like the current Hawkeye series will be ineligible based on the presence of Hawkeye in the movie, or Captain Marvel will be ineligible because the Tony/Steve flock tags every character that appears in half a scene, or or or...
