I know! My first Yuletide, assignments came out late December and I had a little over a week to turn out a complete fic (and almost thought I wouldn't be able to do so). I love having all the time to brainstorm and work on it.
Yup! This was 2011, and I remember vividly because my family wanted to know why I was panicking instead of vibing on the holidays like everyone else, and I was not about to tell them it was because I'd committed to write a short story based on a subtly homoerotic Japanese historical fantasy mystery franchise and wasn't sure I could do it in time. ^^
I was going to look on AO3 and see what I wrote for Yuletide that year, but it's blocked here at work. But I definitely have a vague memory of having to write something very quickly and not being thrilled about it!
