It was the Coal of Times

It was the best of assignments, it was the worst of assignments, it was the age of gaming your offers, it was the age of forgetting to remove that one fandom from your offers, it was the epoch of treat writing, it was the epoch of apocapinch-hits, it was the season of fics of your dreams, it was the season of explicit DNW spitefic, it was the spring of hope that the anon in the comment above is writing for you, it was the winter of ars_belli is your author.

They did the same thing with Umbrella Academy. Only the comic books are nominated. And they keep talking about wanting to see more of Dave, especially Jewish!Dave, except Dave isn't actually a character in the comic books, he only appears in the Netflix show. Whether he's meant to be Jewish or not, who knows, but he is an unnominated character in an unnominated (because ineligible) fandom.

Thank goodness they went out to pinch hit rather than being some poor assigned writer's problem - unless they were an instadefault, I suppose.

Even then though, hard to write something that will make her happy without yourself breaking YT rules by writing in a fandom that is not eligible. I don't know the other fandom, maybe it is appropriate?

Oh, Patch is also only on the Netflix show, which is part of a ship they
are requesting.

Think the mods will do anything about it if they find out? Or is this a “there’s no assigned writer to complain, so they’ll allow it” despite it being unfair to everyone who requested and offer their fandoms?

I think this will be a case of "optional details are optional"

Even with ODAO, I don’t understand why people who blatantly break the rules would be given a chance on the PH list at all.

They don't check every assignment, but his is in the letter not the sign-up, and I can see how, if you're not familiar with the canons, it would be superficially fine. I didn't notice the problems with Umbrella Academy or WWDITS despite being annoyed by the BOP request, for example. This is why mods have to rely on complaints. But I agree it's egregious.

The mods won't do shit. They never do.

And Jewish WhatWe See In The Shadows. Which is fine unless it’s your only prompt.

[(Anonymous)]

it's not even close to fine. Their prompts are for the movie characters.

It’s late here. I missed that entirely.
