Does anyone here participate in Yuletide - the Obscure/Rare Fanfiction exchange? I just noticed the A-Team was nominated this year, which means there is the potential for some new A-Team fanfic to come out of it. What is Yuletide?* Yuletide list of eligible fandomsA few other faves are also on the list - such as Greatest American Hero, Battlestar Galactica (1984), Early Edition, V, Hogans Heroes, etc, etc, etc. There are over 3600 fandoms eligible for this exchange, so you're sure to find something! Let me know if you have any questions. Hope to see some of you there! *Don't be put off with its origins. It is a general exchange, where you can request rated G stories be written... or other things, if you desire! |

Ooooh...I'm officially intrigued! ;D I'm gonna look into this, Jo, because I need something to fire up my FF engines, which have been dormant for a while. This sounds perfect! Also: every time I see that banner of yours, I get more tempted to write a Bill-is-Murdock's-father story...  |

Yuletide is SOOOO much fun!
You basically write a story as a secret santa, and on Christmas morning, you get a story!
They stay secret until New Year's Day, so it's really exciting!
The only downside is that there is no guarantee that you will be paired with someone who specifically wants The A-Team. The matching is done by computer... (You have to list at least 3 fandoms you would write in, so A-Team, and two others, or more.) You will have to write something you are willing to write, but it could be any of the ones you offer....
But the more people interested in writing and receiving A-Team fic, the more likely it will get done.
Plus, two days before Christmas, there's Yuletide Madness. The database of requests is pretty much opened up, so you can write small drabbles in whatever you want and leave them for people as stocking stuffers! (I would do something like that for A-Team, I just can't get a full fic without brushing up on my canon!)
It's fun... fun fun fun!

Sounds too complicated for me!  And I wouldn't want to write anything other than A-Team . But glad you can enjoy it, jopierce!  I still think Hannibal is really Face's father....I don't trust anything Stockwell said to Murdock anyway..... |

Awwww... don't say that! It's big and bulky, but also shiny and bright! I like that it gets rare fandoms back into the limelight. And you also get people back into a fandom they left long ago... So, I hope we can get some A-Team fiction out of it! |

HINT HINT to Miz!!! Amy, I think I'll be able to finish up this weekend, God willing! I really hate to keep you, and everybody else, waiting.  One of these days I'm gonna get out of the 60+ hour-per-week rat race. |

Well, not sure if anyone here is signing up, but just to update you.
Sign-ups are now open, and will be until Nov 12th.
As of now, The A-Team has 3 people requesting fanfiction, and 11 volunteering to write it. That means there is a good chance someone will write a new fanfic for it.
So even if you aren't signing up for it, you may still get to enjoy some fanfic in December! I will keep my eyes open, and post links here.

The Yuletide Fanfiction Exchange was good to A-Team fans this year. There were two stories written. "Three Times Colonel Decker Interrogated Captain Murdock (and the One Time He Didn’t)" by beautifulside for laceymcbain and "Lord of the fries" by liz_mo for pearbean Both can be found here. If you do read and enjoy them, please leave comments for the author. It's nice to know that others enjoy your stories! |

Really funny and ultimately really sad...with perfect characterization. Actually put me on a little crying jag for a few minutes. |

Well, unfortunately, this was last year's posting. The challenge is over. But if they have it again this year, I will certainly let people know! |

We should come up with one just as a forum then. We could have an A-Team themed one.
