What about my kids? My cat? My cactus? What about rock’n’roll? The video star? Print journalism?

Characters: Fair Maiden, Himbo Witch
Summary:

The trouble about living in a tiny village in the woods, Vanessa knew, was that she was related to most of the town and the rest… well, she wasn’t interested in being related to them. The prospects for romance were… nonexistent. She’d half heartedly attempted to give some second and third cousins a shot, but she wanted more from life than finding someone she could tolerate and marrying them. She wanted excitement, adventure, and romance from her life. She loved her little cottage and the people she’d known all her life, but she didn’t feel confined to it in the way many others in town did. The only real problem was knowing where to go. She’d have to just wander from town to town to find someone if she didn’t find some way to know where to go. Vanessa knew she’d have to go find the witch.

Yuletide 2021 is nearly here!

I wanted to post one more update before Yuletide 2021 sign-ups begin (see the Yuletide Admin Dreamwidth community for the schedule and other details). But it is not yet your last chance to post a New Year's Resolution story. If you're posting a story to unban yourself, you can still post during sign-ups - you just need to post before signing up. Otherwise, the collection will close to new submissions around October 23-25, when assignments go out.

What is the New Year's Resolutions 2021 collection?
The New Year's Resolutions challenge/activity is part of Yuletide. Each year after a round of Yuletide ends, a new NYR collection is set up. This collection is for new works based on past Yuletide prompts.

Anyone can look at past Yuletide prompts and submit a work - you don't need to have participated in Yuletide before. Gifts must respect their recipients' Do-Not-Wants. However, if you're writing a NYR story because you are required to before you can sign up to Yuletide again, there are additional rules.

NB: When posting a work to the New Year's Resolutions 2021 collection, the collection name may not come up in the drop-down menu, even though 'nyr2021' will work when entered into the field. You can ensure the collection is incorporated automatically by going to the collection and clicking 'Post to Collection' at top right.

See also the FAQ from last Yuletide and the nyr stories tag on this journal.

Prompts
2020's prompts are available on AO3, in a downloadable text file, and in an app. Prompts from pinch hitters who weren't signed up can be found here on the admin DW community, and are also included in the app. For older prompts, try looking at the dashboards of previous NYR collections, such as New Year's Resolutions 2020.

Someday My Fic Will Come
This is an additional mini-challenge, begun by swan_tower. If you have requested the same thing in at least 3 Yuletides, and you haven't been given it yet, record your prompt at the DW post or LJ post - or look for a long-lingering prompt that you can fulfil. (Yes, these are the 2020 posts - they're still valid.)
