So there I was, reading the new post from Yuletide admin

We are also trying out an experiment in which fandom nominations will only be approved if 2 or more people nominate them.

I thought the Yuletide was supposed to be a chance to get and write fic in tiny or non-existent fandoms, not a fucking popularity contest?

Oh, bloody hell. I hope that won't make it into some weird mess of trying to get people to nominate your things in return for you nominating theirs or something. I can anticipate a lot of confusion and stress there. Hm.

I see a lot of sour attitudes in comments, and I would tend to agree with the overall reaction. If they want to prevent "bloating", they should just be hard and limit nominations to two or three fandoms.

I'm sort of hoping they'll change their minds...
