Today, of course, is the most important day of the whole holiday season: Yuletide story deadline day!

So have some holiday music in honor of PANIC, both yuletide- and general end-of-December related:
Feist - Please Be Patient.mp3
In honor of the poor, poor Yuletide servers, another from the Colbert Christmas special. This is my roommates' favorite track from the soundtrack. They would have it on loop for hours if I let them. They are *insane*.
Yogi Yorgesson - I Yust Go Nuts At Christmas.mp3
Speaking of going nuts.
This is a guy who apparently did comedy as a broad parody of a Scandinavian immigrant, because apparently there was a time when there was a market for that? But the accent is bizarrely mesmerizing, and the lyrics are perhaps the most accurate description of Christmas ever committed to song.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra - A Mad Russian's Christmas.mp3
Probably my favorite version of the Nutcracker, it's just so evocatively frantic.
Carrie Underwood - Jesus Take The Wheel.mp3
SHUT UP I LIKE THIS SONG. Unironically even. 'cause there are times when I do just want to throw my hands up in the air.

December 21st, 2008 02:31 pm - It would be the best show ever.
Fun party game induced by end-of-year stress!

If all the fandoms you're currently excited by were *one* fandom, what would it be?

Mine would be a retelling of Arthurian mythology where they're ninjas.
Arthurian time-travelling ninjas.
Arthurian time-travelling superhero ninjas.
Arthurian time-travelling superhero ninjas who are pundits. And get gay married (and secret yuletide fandom).

Here's the three-sentence summary pitch: "Your Daily Awesome" is an hour-long comedy/drama series heavily influenced by Arthurian mythology, superhero comics, and other archetypals stories of our culture. Arthur Pendragon and Merlin Emrys are best friends and the hip and happenin' young hosts of New York City's latest comedy news show, but as the genius scion of the city's wealthiest family, and a mystic ninja who has spent the last fifty years frozen inside a tree, they have secret alternate lives saving the world from conservative politics and shadowy threats, with the help of alien allies and the time machine built for the "news from the past" segment on their show. Focusing on themes of personal responsibility and power in a changing world, the show contrasts broad world- and time- spanning themes and locations with a deep look at the complicated but enduring bonds between our heroes.

The end.

(Bonus points if you guess all the fandoms. Especially the sekrit yuletide one.)

What's your one fandom? :D
