To the person/people who nominated these fandoms, if you could please provide additional information that would point out their potential medium-sizedness within the comments below? We looked on AO3/FFN as well as skimmed Google/Fanlore, but couldn't come up with the numbers. If there's an LJ comm or a website elsewhere, please let us know so we can approve the fandoms!

I did not nominate any of them, but as Dragonriders is still a Yuletide fandom would it be eligible at all? (Sadly, it was the fandom with drama this past Yuletide)

What sort of drama?

There have been a few fandoms approved that were in the most recent Yuletide, but have since grown. It's why Jenn and I wanted to double check with the nominator, just in case those fandoms have grown but in places where we're not aware of (and as they're not our fandoms, that's pretty much outside AO3 and fanfiction.net).

The only fandoms that can be Yuletide eligible as well as Not Prime Time eligible are RPF fandoms.

Not related to eligibility-drama, at least. Story was written that clearly didn't fall into the request, people got up in arms, etc kind of drama.

It's one of my fandoms, in my top five on AO3 for writing it. If it's grown significantly, it has been either been A) somewhere I am not aware of or B) saw a slight bump in numbers due to Ms. McCaffrey's passing away which of course led to memorial fics.

The reason I brought it up is that I was just, literally, complaining that since the swell around her death I have seen very little in ANY of her works of late.

not the nominator, but I know that Valdemar is Yuletide eligible and shows no sign of not being. As far as I know the same is true for the other Lackey fandom.

Thanks for the heads up.
