Goofs When Stephen, Jeremy and Mark are trying to make the thumbprint cookies, they are using Rogers all-purpose flour. Rogers, a Canadian brand, would not be available in California where they live.

Rogers, is however, local to the filming location of the movie, British Columbia. Quotes Joy Robertson : Cookies and wine Connections References Norma Rae User reviews 17 Review. Top review. Kept a Smile on my Face. I gave this a 10 because it did what movies are supposed to do: make us feel good. Ignore the negative criticisms made by some reviewers and just enjoy. Even though the grandmother was obviously too young looking, it did not keep me from enjoying the movie.

By the way, David Sutcliffe was about 41 when this was made, so he certainly was old enough to be the father of teen boys. I put this movie in the category of the Hallmark movies. This is a wholesome movie and I had a big smile on my face the entire time. I love the more dramatic series such as Daredevil, but once in a while it is nice to take a break from murder and mayhem and watch a simple, clean movie. Teens would probably find this boring, but not this old lady and many others like me out there!

Sometime on December 24, once everyone has a full-size story in the archive, the word limits are lifted, and all prompts are thrown open for stories of any length. In the original archive, this meant that anyone could post a story of any length to that year's Yuletide collection.

In the AO3 , the mods create a new subcollection specifically for shorter-length stories under words called Yuletide Madness [Year]. Treats over words were asked to put into the main collection. The stories themselves are known as Treats originally Stocking Stuffers, a term that some people still use , because they are extra little treats for the recipients, and for the membership at large.

Yuletide Madness and the works it generates are not universally loved; see Yuletide: Controversies for a discussion of the issues. At some point on December 25, the admins re-open the archive to browsing with all of the new stories available, and every participant is emailed with a link to the story written especially for them. Author names are hidden for the first week, leading to an orgy of reading and reccing while the stories are standing entirely on their own merits.

Sometime on January 1, the admins un-hide the author names, and participants can finally see who wrote stories for them. Authors are also allowed to post their stories to other places at this point. Once the author names have been revealed, the archive is opened to uploading by anyone again, and the New Year's Resolution NYR challenge opens. All of the unfilled requests from the Yuletide challenge are listed on a page, and anyone who wants to can write a story for one of them, uploading it for the recipient.

The requirements here are a bit looser; since the recipient has already gotten the gift they signed up for, it's not necessary to try to tailor the story to her preferences.

NYR runs until signups for the next Yuletide open, at which point the archive is closed to new uploads as the admins prep for the new cycle. Participation has risen from roughly people in to over 2, people [10] in , to date the maximum.

Over that time the number of fandoms with stories in the original Yuletide archive has climbed to almost 1, From through October , all of the stories were posted to the Yuletide archive. For the challenge, posting moved to the Yuletide collection on the Archive of Our Own.

At that time, the moderators also announced plans to import the entire contents of the old archive to AO3 following the completion of the challenge. After several years' delay, the import of the old archive finally occurred in mid May , managed by AO3's Open Doors project group. Because of the nature of the challenge, the archive opens and closes at different points during the year.

For most of the year, though, it's open for browsing by anyone and uploading for New Year's Resolution stories. With a wide range of fans participating, the archive was fairly evenly balanced in terms of ratings and between gen , het , femslash , and slash. Stories were posted with ratings and summaries attached, but that's it: since every story on the archive was written with a specific person in mind, most don't have warnings attached.

Unless indicated in the summary, readers might not have been able to tell whether stories are gen, het, femslash, or slash, or what the central pairing is if there is a pairing. Comments are very much encouraged, but with the caveat that every story was written as a gift for someone else, catering to their tastes. The challenge was made possible because of a script for the matching process developed by astolat in the first year, which was used in every succeeding year that the challenge was self-hosted.

Because the matching was somewhat automated, it was possible for the challenge to grow substantially in size every year—the mods have never had to put a cap on it. This process, and the Yuletide archive itself, were a model of effective archiving and of using small and powerful scripts to help facilitate broad fannish projects like this one. Yuletide was huge in ! In , with over participants, the site was hacked due to the host's failure, despite astolat's warning, to correct a security vulnerability.

Result: server move mid-uploading crunch, with extra fun propagating a new domain name, and resulting comment glitches. Still no editing without modly intervention. There were bizarre uploading database issues, the kind of things it takes a computer to screw up. Last minute archive lockdown! And who else recalls the spam comments flood of ?

Heavy server load issues are scary. Yes, modly intervention still required for edits. At one point, a couple hundred stories were stranded in database hell. I wrote you a story but the server ated it.

Strangely prolific author, whose name just happens to be the first on the list. The archive goes down Dec. In , the challenge moved to AO3 , in the Yuletide collection , the first collection ever hosted there.

The move took away a few features most notably, the spiffy "Latest story updated by [Author Name]! The move also meant that some of the strange glitches of the old site could be avoided, particularly the one where. When the move to AO3 was announced in , the moderators also announced plans to import the entire Yuletide archive into the AO3 as well.

Over the next several years, several estimated dates for the migration came and went with no visible progress. Late in March , the Open Doors Committee finally announced a May date for the importing of the old archive to AO3, potentially creating duplicate versions in those cases where AO3 users have already uploaded these stories to the archive.

According to the initial announcement , only stories and not the associated comments would be imported. After complaints, it was later announced that comments could be imported after all, with the limitation that all imported comments would appear as "guest" comments that is, the original commenters' names would appear, but individual comments couldn't be linked to current AO3 users. One's Yuletide presents are brought to one by the Yule Goat.

The reasons for this are lost in the mists of several years ago Liviapenn made the concept popular in , [16] though it was in use at least two years earlier [17] but a Yule Goat is felt to be less religiously affiliated than a Santa. Yuletide is a large fannish event, and is sometimes assumed to be a universal experience, like stepping on a lego brick in the middle of the night.

Fans will ask "What did you get for Yuletide? Since , Yuletide has had an unofficial irc chatroom [18] as a space for participants to cheer one another on, commiserate over oncoming deadlines often referred to as "bears" , and generally hang out and chat. It is available year around, although most active in the weeks before the Yuletide deadline.

In , there was an AIM chat for participants. In , a Discord server was set up and some participants moved there, while others still preferred the older irc chat, and some stayed in both spaces.

The Discord server is publicly available and can be found here. As Yuletide approaches, the Yuletide chat room on IRC and the yuletide channel on Discord become sites of increasing hysteria and hilarity, and for several months after, you may expect to see reference to memes born there.

The weeks leading up to Yuletide are often permeated by mass panic. Hippos are people who volunteer to serve as intermediaries between authors and potential betas, so as to avoid spoiling anyone's surprise about their gift or breaking the author's anonymity. Hippos on the Yuletide Discord server perform this service year-round for other exchanges as well.

In eruthros and thingswithwings created One-Night Fandoms , a Yuletide tribute vid that celebrates "the willingness to make fic and make fandom out of anything and everything, to throw yourself wantonly, joyfully, and passionately into a new fandom, even if it can only last a short time. Yuletide generally disallows nomination of fanworks as fandoms; fannish conventions and past wank around further transformation and remixing of fanworks means the author of the fanwork must have a published blanket statement.

Yuletide also requires that the fanwork being considered be substantially different from its source canon. Original works posted to "fannish spaces" are also generally said to be disallowed, mostly because the author has identified the work as fannish in some nature and might expect the same social etiquette around further transformation that authors of fanworks would expect. The third post on the Fandom Eligibility post was a fan asking if The Course of Honour , an original slash novel posted to Archive of Our Own, would be eligible.

They provided a link to the author's blanket statement of permission for fanworks. A mod replied:. While in the past we have ruled out any work posted to AO3, we are willing to trial an exception this year for original works.

As with any large fannish endeavor, Yuletide has generated its share of wank , drama, and imbroglios. The disagreements have covered a wide range of issues, including:. Jump to: navigation , search. You may be looking for the multifandom print zine The Yule Tide.

Slowness due to heavy server load continues through the author reveal. We would appreciate you making a comment on the Evidence Post when you nominate it, to sum up what the fandom is and why it stands alone. How on Earth did we all miss this? Somebody, please, tell me I'm wrong -- I did a tag search and couldn't find a single thing in the archive.
