In case you're feeling bad about dropping out, just wanna let you know I've been there and it happens :-) Yuletide is a big enough challenge with enough enthusiasm surrounding it and people just looking for excuses to write more stories, so I'm sure your recipient will get a cool fic instead with no real extra hassle on part of the mods. In fact, last year my author defualted and I got five gifts instead.

But really by the tone of this post you sound like you're okay with it, which is good :-) Just wanted to make sure <3
