Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling too

If you still haven't signed up for [livejournal.com profile] jbbs -- "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells," the Teen-Titans-and-friends Secret Santa challenge -- today is your last chance you blew it, sorry. Try again next year.

If you still haven't signed up for [livejournal.com profile] yuletide -- "While We Dream of Yuletide Treasure," the rare-fandoms Secret Santa challenge -- well, you're too late. If you did sign up, though, and haven't received your assignment yet, contact the challenge administrators, because all participants should have their assignments by now.

If you're my Yuletide Secret Santa and actually want or need more guidance than I provided... uh. Well, I'd like a slash story, but I know not everybody feels up to writing that, so if I wasn't clear enough (in regards to the fandom(s) I requested that you feel you can write about) that a gen story would be just as acceptable as a slash one, well, there it is. edited to add3: No, I take all that back, Santa. I have only one piece of guidance to offer: Oh, YEAH! Harder!

If you were... confused, conflicted, or consterned (consternated?) by the way DC Comics were included (in the form of characters from the titles GREEN ARROW; THE FLASH; OUTSIDERS; and SUICIDE SQUAD) and excluded (everything and everyone else suggested) for WWDOYT this year, and/or the decision to exclude non-Young-Justice-and/or-Teen-Titans-and/or-Outsiders (current runs) characters from JBBS? Do you think there should be a DC-Comics-specific Secret Santa (or maybe Secret Easter Bunny, so as not to overburden ourselves) challenge next year?

If you are the Jack, you need to dig out your source material and start preparing to write the story you were assigned for Yuletide this year, slacker. And go buy your poor cat some food, too! edited to add4: Also chew out that damned store for failing to keep her food in stock, or re-order in a timely fashion when they ran low.

edited to add1: If you are Livia, thanks for the correction; I had overlooked the little "The" which does indeed still appear on the cover of THE FLASH. I was possibly also influenced by the general failure of anyone to call Wally (or Barry or Jay) the Flash, as opposed to just Flash, particularly as contrasted to the more frequent use of the article with Batman despite his comics not being titled THE BATMAN.
