I have signed up for Yuletide, but am hoping to have a very low-key year: give one, get one, sort of thing. To which end, please PLEASE do not write me a Treat. I do not intend to write and gift extras this year and it is exceedingly bad for my varied and complicated neuroses to receive without reciprocation, so this is an earnest request. I am not fishing or hinting or hoping reverse psychology will kick in or anything. I love my flist and am fairly assured re: their affections, but I just cannot deal with the terror spike of getting Treats when I have none to give.

Thank you for your kind consideration.

Message received loud and clear!

Of course, another way to look at it is that ALL the fic in fandoms you enjoy are treats to read whether gifted to you or not. And comments you write on those stories are a most delightful treat for the writer! Similarly, the fic you write for your one assigned recipient treats all the other people who read it too.

So whether you write one or many, you have treated us all.

I hope your Yuletide is low key and happy this year.

Low-key and treatless. (Noted. As needs be, since I've treated you in the past.)

I do hope things in RL are easier in the future (for you and yours). May your assignment appeal, your writing be fruitful, and your gift a joy for you to read.
