The holiday season is coming up! So, dear YWSers, your lovely mods have brainstormed a few fictional writing-related holidays. Which one's your favorite? What other holidays do you wish existed?

Because I write fantasy, I guess I have to celebrate my fictional winter holiday, the Celebration of Ice.

BUT. I also love the idea of remembering our side characters... RIP, dead side characters. RIP.
