... What's the consensus on, er, fobbing off existing ideas as Yuletide fics? (Or, you know, parts of existing fics?) Is that considered really gauche or something? I did it last year but was such a newbie, I'm not sure if that's considered legit or not - and I really wanna write treats in a certain fandom, but have a pretty much appropriate idea I could polish off that just happens to have been hanging around my hard drive for, oh, a year and a half... Does anyone know? Haha.
