MultiLingYule 2026
The MultiLingYule mini-challenge is for works in languages other than English.
Maybe there are very few fanworks in your first, second, etc language, and you'd love to connect with a fellow speaker who's also a fellow fan.
Maybe you're learning a new language and getting a gift in it would be a delightful way to improve your fluency.
Maybe you just want to talk about how much you love conlangs and invite someone to incorporate conlangs into your gift.
The possibilities are multi-ple!
On the creation side: unless someone has clearly indicated that a non-English work would suit as their only gift, gifts of that kind need be posted in Yuletide Madness, regardless of length. Works can only go in the main collection if they fulfil all the same requirements as an assigned gift.
Similarly, someone may be delighted to get a gift in a language you've just started to learn, and connect with you over enthusiasm for that language, but if you're posting a gift in the Main rather than the Madness collection, it should probably either be in a language you're fluent in or in a language you can call on fluent help for.
If you would have to use automatic translation in order to give a gift in a particular language, please don't give that gift. Please either translate your work yourself, or reach out to another person for help with translation and polishing.
Finally, people who can check text snippets, lines of dialogue, etc, in multiple languages are extremely valuable and appreciated, and if you can offer this service, or offer to help translate, please consider volunteering when the beta post goes up.

With a Mod Hat On
On the requesting side: if you would be happy if a gift in a different language were your only gift, please also note this in the optional details of your sign-up form. This prevents mod panic when we go to check assignments and need to figure out if someone can actually read their gift!On the creation side: unless someone has clearly indicated that a non-English work would suit as their only gift, gifts of that kind need be posted in Yuletide Madness, regardless of length.

I also speak intermediate level German. To be honest I would rather not have my main gift in German as it would take me quite a while to read it but a treat would be awesome if anyone is inspired.

Languages:
German – I'm a fluent (though non-native) speaker and would be happy to get a main gift OR treat in German.
I would also enjoy getting treats in Icelandic (I'm A2 level at best, but can puzzle out most things, given a dictionary and enough time – and will enjoy doing so!), Yiddish (ditto; I'm barely A1 here, but between knowing the letters and having vocabulary knowledge from German, I can puzzle out a lot – and will greatly enjoy doing so!), or Thai (I used to speak Thai well, but that was...almost a quarter of a century ago? (eep!) So honestly I'd probably need to use Google Translate to read more than a couple sentences of Thai – but I would still be so tickled to receive a treat in this language that's very special to me!
