[personal profile] karios posting in [community profile] yuletide
Are you interested in text adventures, CYOA, Twine games, or other sorts of interactive fiction? Do you want to let your writer know you'd be happy to receive something along those lines? Are you looking for someone to write IF for? This post is for you.
 
 
(I copied and pasted this directly from last year which was also copy pasted from previous years. Let me know via comment or discord ping if any of the links broke or anything else needs editing.)
 
 
What is IF?
 

Interactive Fiction (IF) covers everything from text adventures through to visual novels, by way of all sorts of experimental works. It can be mostly a game, or mostly a story; it can be a way to immerse the reader, or to play around with the concepts of storyteller and audience; it can be an exploration of chance, or of fate; it can be a straightforward story, or something else entirely. From Healy's post:
 
 
[IF] is a term used for games which are made up primarily of text, like Adventure, Zork, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and other text adventures, or more experimental hypertext works like My Father's Long, Long Legs, or even visual novels. Interactive fiction these days is generally divided into two groups based on how you interact with the game: parser-based IF, and choice-based IF.
 
 
Parser-based IF, more commonly known as text adventures, are controlled by typed in commands, like "GET KEY", "OPEN DOOR", "GO NORTH", "LOOK UNDER BED", and stuff like that. Not every command you type in will work, though, so they're hard to get used to if you haven't tried them before. To make things easier, here's a card of most of the common commands. Some good parser-based IF to try first would be Ryan Veeder's So, You've Never Played a Text Adventure Before, Huh?, Admiral Jota's Lost Pig, Andrew Plotkin's The Dreamhold, and Adam Cadre's Photopia.
 
 
Choice-based IF is simpler; you just pick from a number of options. This can be done through hyperlinks and other clicky selections, though more rarely you may have to type a number from a list. Good examples of choice-based IF include Anna Anthropy's Star Court, Alan DeNiro's Solarium, the various games hosted by Choice of Games, and most every given visual novel.
 
 

Writing IF for Yuletide

 
IF is considered opt-in for Yuletide - please don't write it for people who don't want it. If you aren't sure whether it would be welcome or not, ask a mod to check with the intended recipient.
 
You are still required to follow the normal rules, such as focusing on requested characters (unless the recipient has said you needn't include them all).  

It can be hard to figure out what word count an IF story really is - what you've written is full of code that doesn't count, and what your recipient sees may vary in length depending on their choices. If you're posting to the main collection, try to overshoot the minimum requirement a bit, just to be on the safe side. Say a minimum of somewhere between 2,000 and 4,000 words. Or probably about 10 to 15 minutes play through.
 
If your post to the main AO3 collection is under 1,000 words (e.g. you're just linking to an online playable version elsewhere), please drop the mods a note so they know it isn't someone posting something under the minimum, and provide them with an estimated word-count.




If you're writing a treat, unless it includes over 1,000 words of text and you're also sure your recipient would be happy with it as a main gift, please post it to Madness

Your recipient does need to be able to access what you've created! Please link to a suitable IF interpreter if required, or if possible make a web-playable version.
 

Requesting IF for Yuletide
 

If you would be happy to receive IF this year, please leave a comment below, following this template:
 

 
 

IF Canons Nominated for Yuletide

 
Plenty of IF canons get nominated for Yuletide! While it's still important to ask before writing IF for someone, someone who consumes IF already will probably be more interested in getting it. (Some of these canons were adapted into other mediums, so it's possible that someone who's interested in one of those isn't at all into the IF side of things. Thus why it's important to ask.) Consider requesting or offering one of these if you're interested in IF for Yuletide.
Some IF Tools

 
A * means they can make web-based games.
 

Parser-based

Inform*: One of the biggest development tools for making parser-based IF. Has an English-like code. Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Quest*: Another big IF development tool. Has a click-and-point editor with the option to check out the code. For Windows and web.
TADS*: A long running engine for writing interactive fiction, though generally not as easy to use as Inform. The latest version can make web-based games, although they need to be hosted on a non-https address or on the IFDB.
 

Choice-based

Twine
*: Very popular tool for making choice-based IF. Has a visual editor, with some code-y bits for variables and the like. Can be extended with some Javascript passages. Available for Mac and Windows, and Twine 2 is web-based. See this comment for more notes.
ChoiceScript*: Used by the fine folks over at Choice of Games. Uses simplified Javascript to make games. It's very stat heavy. Requires a text editor. See this comment for notes.
Ren'py: Engine for making visual novels. Uses a simple scripting language. Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and can make games for all those platforms.
Inklewriter*: A completely web-based engine for making CYOA-style games.
 

Yuletide Takes the Case 2026

Oct. 15th, 2026 10:02 pm
moontyger: (Oh no!  Bandits!)
[personal profile] moontyger posting in [community profile] yuletide
Every year I see a number of requests for casefic (and yuletide fics tagged with it) and I thought it would be nice to have a mini-challenge to make these easier to find. Thus, here is a post for those of us who love casefic, either on the giving or receiving end.

Note that while there are a number of mystery canons where casefic is an obvious fit, it can work for just about any fandom, so don't feel limited by genre!

The game is afoot!

To participate
  • Leave a comment on this fic with a link to your letter if you are interested in receiving casefic. Optionally, add any extra casefic likes and prompts you may have into your comment.
  • If you don't have a letter, you can still leave prompts here! Please ensure your comment includes your AO3 username, requested fandoms, and any characters you're requesting.
  • When uploading your fic to the archive, tag it with Yuletide Takes the Case and casefic so the rest of us can find it!




It's not necessary to interact with Yuletide Takes the Case in any way to give or request casefic for Yuletide, but this post is here to make life easier. Enjoy!
kingstoken: Basil patting Dawson's cheek and looking at him fondly (Basil Dawson)
[personal profile] kingstoken posting in [community profile] fancake
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes
Pairings/Characters: Holmes & Watson
Rating: G
Length: 3933 words
Creator Links: teaspoonnebula
Theme: Fluff, friendship, anthromorphic

Summary: Dapper Gentleman Gnome (Blue) has been mass-produced in a factory and expects to spend the rest of his days adorning a suburban lawn, until he sustains life-changing damage which ultimately plunges him into a possibly predestined friendship with a hand-crafted ornament made in the image of Sherlock Holmes.

Reccer's Notes: In this fic Watson and Holmes are garden gnomes, that meet at a garden centre, and develop a friendship. I know the premise sounds rather juvenile, but please trust me it is a lovely fic about unexpected change, and friendship, and choosing your own path. It's also very sweet, and you'll come to feel something for these little clay gentlemen.

Note: the fic is tagged with Sherlock Gnomes, but as far as I can tell it has nothing to do with that film, it just borrows the concept of Holmes being a garden gnome.

[personal profile] mific posting in [community profile] fancake
Fandom: Heated Rivalry
Characters/Pairings: Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov, Irina Rozanova, Andrei Rozanov, Yuna Hollander, David Hollander, Hayden Pike, Cliff Marleau
Rating: Teen
Length: 10,713
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply. There's a plot point where Yuna and David let themselves into adult Shane's apartment with no warning in the usual annoying boundary breach.
Creator Links: KayGibs on AO3
Themes: Fluff, Mythical creatures, Magic AU, Shapeshifting, Canon LGBTQ+ characters

Summary: “He wants doll brushes because he’s seen the girls at the park brushing their plushies with them. Their dolls too, obviously. But he wants to brush that pelt you brought him-”

David sets his crossword book down, giving Yuna his full attention.

“What?”

“The pelt of fur? Looks like a wolf, or maybe one of those big cats?” Yuna says, waving her hand dismissively. “Either way, I don’t think doll brushes are the right choice. We can look into getting him a set of actual grooming tools, he needs to learn that the right tools for the right job are an important-”

“Yuna. Sweetheart.” David interrupts. “I did not buy our son a piece of dead animal as a souvenir from Russia.”

OR

Ilya loses something important at the airport; years later, Shane gives it back to him.

Reccer's Notes: There's some angst in this story, especially in Ilya's childhood, and he loses his mother at age 12 but in a different and somewhat less tragic way. Ilya and Irina are the wolf version of selkies, but due to Andrei's childish malice Ilya's pelt accidentally ends up with four year old Shane, who is thereafter inseparable from it. The story touches on scenes across their relationship from their pre-rookie meeting until they're thoroughly in love (even if they haven't yet acknowledged it), weaving Ilya's lost pelt into their history. After the story's start there's not a lot of angst, and the ending is of course happy and literally fluffy! A fun read.

Crueltide 2026

[personal profile] poetforthefallen posting in [community profile] yuletide
(Thanks to previous years' posters! It seems like this one bounces around in ownership, and I was excited for it this year, so I've gone ahead and posted it.)

Not every story is pleasant. Not every story has a happy ending, and not all happy endings come without a dark and painful journey. And sometimes, those are the kinds of stories that we really, really want to read.
If you're one of the many people interested in either writing or receiving darkfic or horror, then Crueltide is here to devour your soul for you!

The short version

Read the comments to find people to treat with darkfic.
Tag your Yuletide darkfic with 'crueltide'

The long version is beneath the (details) cut
Why Crueltide?
Because darkfic isn't to everyone's taste. By making it easier to identify darkfic prompts and people open to receiving darkfic in Yuletide, we can all indulge our preferences without placing undue pressure on our assigned writers or risking gifting unwelcome fics to our recipients. (And also: the name was the least cutesy of those being thrown around in 2014.)

What is darkfic?
Depends on your definition. But here's a (non-exhaustive) list of darker tropes to get you started:
(White text used as some content may be triggering to some - highlight to read.)
Addiction - Amputation - Animal Abuse - Apocalypse - Betrayal - Body Horror - Brainwashing - Cannibalism - Character Death - Child Abuse - Claustrophobia - Conspiracy - Degradation - Disease - Dystopia - Gaslighting - Hauntings - Humiliation - Hypothermia - Insanity - Invasion of Privacy - Lovecraftian Cosmic Horrors - Medical Experimentation - Mind Control - Monsters - Murder - Mutilation - Non-Con - Paranoia - Poisoning - Prison - PTSD - Sadism - Slavery - Suicide - Torture - Unhappy Endings - Violence


Does a darkfic story have to have an unhappy ending/some other specific trope?
No! Not at all. Just because a story is packed with darkfic tropes doesn't mean there's no light at the end of the tunnel. Also, just because you like one trope, it doesn't mean you like all of them. Feel free to specify your do-not-wants alongside your wants.

Great, how does it work?
-- If you end up writing a darkfic story, just tag it with Crueltide when you upload it to the collection, and that'll help readers find more of what they like. It would also be good to tag any particular tropes you've used, to help readers find/avoid them. That's all you need to do! If your recip requested dark or horror fic but didn't comment on this post, you can still tag it with Crueltide if it fits the theme! The Crueltide tag helps all of us darkfic and horror readers find more things to read.

-- If you would like to receive a darkfic story in one of the fandoms you've requested in your Yuletide sign-up, you can advertise that here by replying to this post. (The template below is merely a suggestion of what to include - the level of detail in prompts/tropes is entirely up to you. But please do limit yourself to fandoms on your Yuletide sign-up - the Yuletide mods need to be sure you get a fic in one of those, and a treat in an unexpected fandom could make that awkward.)

AO3: AO3 username
Letter: Dear Yuletide writer (URL)
Fandoms: Fandom details here
Happy Endings Preferred?: Yes/no/don't mind
Wanted tropes: List any of your favorite dark tropes, themes, or prompts here.
Unwanted tropes: List your darkfic do-not-wants here.



If you want to advertise your requested fandoms as being particularly dark and of potential interest to others, feel free to comment along those lines too.

Alternatively, if you only want your assigned writer to know what you're into, just make a mention of darkfic/crueltide in your optional details as part of your signup.

It is time once more for the Yuletide Madness Drabble Invitational!

Are you going through the tagset, thinking about your signup, and getting lured down plotbunny holes?

Well, if you are entranced by tiny canons, luscious fandom promos, or letters with prompts that you absolutely adore, and you've got to do something to appease the itty bitty plot bunnies that are nibbling at your ankles, the Yuletide Madness Drabble Invitational is back to meet all your "I don't have time or brain enough to do 1000 words, but that idea is still keen" needs.

How does it work?

Write drabbles or drabble series for Yuletide Madness. Proper ones, where the text of each drabble is exactly 100 words, please. Ficlets are fun, but not all ficlets are drabbles in just the same way as not all poems are sonnets. (You can, of course, post a 1000 word tale told in drabbles, where each chapter/bit is exactly 100 words to the main Yuletide collection, if you like. Just be sure that it is eligible to fulfill the main gift rules for that recipient.)

Give them to people.

Add "yumadrin" or "Yuletide Madness Drabble Invitational" to the tags.

That's it!

*******

As of the start of Yuletide 2026 we have created 978 drabbles, the oldest ones from 2013 when the Invitational began. We are so close to a thousand! These little mini-gifts are a lot of fun to give, and to get, and they're fun to create as well. Check out the tag to see what we mean!

[personal profile] moontyger posting in [community profile] yuletide
What is TransTide?

Since trans headcanons and the portrayal of trans characters can be personal for many people, writers might be nervous to write trans headcanons without invitation. This mini challenge is for people to signal that they would love to receive trans headcanons, as well as to showcase their requested fandoms with canon trans characters.

Note that this exchange is open to nonbinary characters as well.

To participate, simply copy-paste the following into a comment:

If you post a fic for Yuletide with one or more trans characters, tag it with TransTide so people can find it easily!

petra: Cartoon of Shakespeare saying, "Read my latest, it is god damn glorious." (Beaton - Shakespeare)
[personal profile] petra
A recent post on [community profile] yuletide (not [community profile] yuletide_admin) included the information:

"IMPORTANT NOTE: In Yuletide, poetry is opt-in - only people who asked for poetry (here or in their signup or letter) should receive it."

I know poetry is a sometimes food for a lot of people, but. But! There is nothing in the signup instructions to indicate that it's opt-in, so I think this post's assertion is flawed.

Also, with my normal response to people's Do Not Wants, it's been a while since I read something that made me want to write 1K of limericks for whomever I am assigned quite this badly. Since when is poetry an opt-in experience? I don't think everybody who signs up for Yuletide is aware of this; I sure as hell have not been.

[personal profile] selenak, with all due respect, I am not going to apologize for the Borgias sonnets, despite the fact that I doubt there was a "Please write me poetry!" in your signup that year.

This mini-challenge is one way for those who enjoy writing poetry to find people who would like to have that for Yuletide.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In Yuletide, poetry is opt-in - only people who asked for poetry (here or in their signup or letter) should receive it.

To participate, please comment with your AO3 name and the fandoms you have requested for Yuletide for which you would like to receive poetry. You can also note what types of poetry you like most (free verse, sonnets, etc...) and any ideas you have in mind. It's a great idea to also link to your letter if you have one.

Writers, please remember that works shorter than 1,000 words go in the Yuletide Madness collection. Feel free to tag your poems "yulepoem" so that people can find them.

Chromatic Yuletide is a collection post for Yuletide requests that include characters of colour. Posting here doesn't obligate you to do anything, but it helps writers find your requests and treat you.

Posting requirements:

Your request centers around at least one character of colour.

(I acknowledge there are some shortcomings with the "person of colour" descriptor. I'm also not going to police who is or isn't a character of colour; please just use your best judgment.)

To participate, simply copy-paste the following into a comment:

AO3 name:
Letter link:
Fandom:
Characters:
What is it? description of canon or a link to a canon promo (optional)
What kind of thing am I requesting? also optional



If you post a fic for Yuletide with one or more POC characters, tag it with Chromatic Yuletide so people can find it easily!

And now I am hoping that in Heated Rivalry, the ghost/flashback scenes, at least in fanfiction, involve Irina Rozanova haunting roman-à-clefified Gary Bettman.

Two for One is an annual mini-challenge to help people who like crossovers and/or fusions find one another's requests.
 
To participate, simply include the following in a comment below:
AO3 Name:
Letter Link (if applicable):
Crossover Type (i.e. crossover, fusion, or either):
Applicable Requested Fandoms:
Potential Crossover Fandoms (you may list specific combinations you're interested in, ex. Megamind/Treasure Planet, or generally request any of your Yuletide requests with each other, or list additional fandoms you'd be happy to have crossed with any of your requests):
Prompts/Optional Details (as many and as detailed as you like):
 
One of the fandoms in each crossover or fusion prompt must be one you are requesting for Yuletide; however, the other doesn’t have to be. It doesn’t even have to be in the tagset at all!
 
Some clarification about crossover types:
Crossovers tend to involve Fandom A's characters interacting with Fandom B's characters or worldbuilding, with everyone retaining their canon backgrounds. Ex. Aurora and Red Riding Hood team up to defeat a villain, or Clark Kent falls into a portal that takes him to Tortall.
 
Fusions tend to be AUs in which Fandom A's characters have always existed in Fandom B's setting instead of their own, often replacing Fandom B's characters. Ex. Pacha and Kronk as contestants in the Hunger Games, where Kuzco and Yzma are referees. (A fic like this in which Hunger Games characters also appear would be a hybrid between a fusion and crossover.)

What is Yuleporn?

In an exchange as large and diverse as Yuletide, it usually turns out that a lot of people would love to write or receive explicit stories but aren't comfortable asking for them or writing them without a little more information. Yuleporn is a mini-challenge that exists to help unite Yuletiders in requesting, writing, and reading the porn of their Yuletide dreams. Have no Optional Details fear, Yuleporn is here!

How Do I Participate?

  • Leave a comment on this post linking your letter if you are interested in getting an explicit fic for YT.
  • Add any optional details you want in the comment – additional prompts, favourite kinks, DNWs, &c..
  • If you don't have a letter or are a pinch-hitter, you can still leave prompts here, but make sure to include your AO3 name, your fandoms, and the characters you requested
  • When it comes time to upload, tag your fics with "Yuleporn" on AO3 so other interested parties can easily find all the good stuff when the collection opens.
  • Enjoy.

Here's a totally optional copy-paste form if you like forms!

As always, you don't have to participate in Yuleporn to write or request porn - it's just here to make things easier - and Yuleporn is 100% open to all kinks (or lack thereof).

(This post is mostly copypasta from time immemorial; please comment if anything should be updated! Credit to Morbane Everett Grove for this year's title. Again.)
