Coalie in Post-DeadlineLand

[coalcube]

Coalie was beginning to get very tired of waiting for their gift to be posted, and of having nothing to shake: once or twice they had peeped into the tags of the fic their dentist had been gifted, but it had no characters or freeforms on it, "and what is the use of a fic," thought Coalie, "without ships or tags?"

Re: Bus-Pass Transformations

Fic right now: sweet little get-together fic.
Fic at reveals: holy shit where did this plot and these sex scenes come from

shake shake shake

[(Anonymous)]

what looks good in the collection so far?

Re: shake shake shake

[(Anonymous)]

I thought I would be full of it but a goose has stolen my interest in untitled goose-fic.

Ask Coal

[(Anonymous)]

Got questions? Coal might answer if it feels like it or not who knows with coal.

Re: Ask Coal - Category for pre-ship

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by the Disappointment thread on the last post, how do most people categorise a fic which is pre-ship? At this point they are friends who probably have feelings but haven't realized. Is this gen? Slash? BOTH?!

Title Help

[(Anonymous)]

Post a vague summary, get help with a title.

Re: Title Help

Childhood friends who forgot each other reconnect via mysterious magic.

TIP

[(Anonymous)]

Vaguely describe the treats you're currently working on here! Maybe it'll cheer up some of us who've shook our gift only to find disappointment.

Re: TIP

[(Anonymous)]

1. Treat 2 for accidental fuckery that happened to treat 1, hopefully a sequel or even a Madness bit of lol so I don't cry inside

2. Humorous cracky things for long time fandom associates who have good prompts

3. Maybe something for a pinch hit that flew by, to see if I'm in the mood for dragging someone out of the closet

Worst Yuletide wanker of all time

[(Anonymous)]

If there was an award for this, who'd get it and why?

Re: Worst Yuletide wanker of all time

[(Anonymous)]

Untherius, because he's still going.

[(Anonymous)]

there's a raccoon in my stocking

[(Anonymous)]

So give it some presents

Ghosts of Yuletide past

[(Anonymous)]

If there was something you wish you could have done differently in a past Yuletide, what would it be?

Re: Ghosts of Yuletide past

[(Anonymous)]

Not offered That Fandom. My fic sucked and it showed. :/

Weirdities

[(Anonymous)]

There are now 3 stories for The Ritual. And one appears to include Gayle from Bob's Burgers. Bob's Burgers doesn't show on the Fandoms page.

Anybody want to take best whether this is real or a misclick?

Re: Weirdities

[(Anonymous)]

Checking The Ritual on IMDB shows that there's a character named Gayle in the movie, so likely misclick or unfortunate synning?

[(Anonymous)]

So can I tag this fic with Yuleporn if my writer didn't sign up for it? (It has porn in it).

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, that is fine.

Transferring stories to a different account

[(Anonymous)]

Refresh my memory, coalies. Can this be done anytime after the fill or should it wait until the stories are live but not yet unanon?

Re: Transferring stories to a different account

[(Anonymous)]

I would wait until a couple days into stories being live.

Obviously definitely before anon goes away.

Discord shenanigans

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, let's talk child abuse in the channel dedicated to sexy stuff! Jesus Christ.

Re: Discord shenanigans

[(Anonymous)]

Is the discord even worth messing with? Do people do it with their fandom pseuds?

I'm super curious and think it might be fun and informative, at least where Yuletide goings-on are concerned, but it seems kind of like a clique that generates a lot of side-eye stuff.

I just want to talk about fandoms and writing fanfic and such things, and maybe watch non-hurty dramas unfold. Yes?

OMGHURRY

Re: T-3

[(Anonymous)]

I HAVE REACHED THE POINT OF THIS DRAFT BEING CLOSE ENOUGH FOR NOW

I THINK

FOR NOW

Please distract me, coalies!

[(Anonymous)]

What's a good way to stop impatience for my gift, which looks delightful and I want NOW NOW NOW dammit!!!

Re: Please distract me, coalies!

[(Anonymous)]

You should spread the joy and write someone a treat or stocking stuffer! :D

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like this is a very dumb question but I've never posted a treat on AO3 before! What collection should I post it to? AO3 doesn't want to accept it to yuletide 2019.

[(Anonymous)]

Go to the actual collection (link at top of this post), and click Post To Collection button on that page for maximum non-failure. Remember to add your recip as the recipient.

Success

[(Anonymous)]

Rejoice with me, O Coalies, for I have successfully submitted my fic with less than half a minute to spare by the count.

Re: Success

[(Anonymous)]

Joy to the world, the fics are here
(And all their typos too)

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry if this question is very YT 101 but it’s my first time! How do you shake the tree? I just saw mine was posted and now I can’t wait til the 25th to peek. (Thanks coalies!)

[(Anonymous)]

Go to the Fandoms tab of the YT19 collection. Find the fandoms you've requested and open them up in new tabs. Use the Sort and Filter thing on the side to look at the tags - for example, if I look at Captain Marvel, I can see that four fics are tagged Post-Canon, two Humour, so on and so forth.

Obviously this is easier for some fandoms than others - if it's a fandom where you're the only one who requested it, it'll be very obvious indeed, whereas there are 14 Captain Marvel fics so it's difficult to work out what tags belong to which fic without additional filtering.

Pinch Hits

[(Anonymous)]

Seen anything interesting bob up? Been able to grab one?

Re: Pinch Hits

[(Anonymous)]

Tried for two in the latest batch, got one! Excited to get cracking.

Treating Poll

[(Anonymous)]

For the treat-writers who have already posted to the collection, how many fics total has your treat recipient got?

Re: Treating Poll

[(Anonymous)]

Treat #1 has 5
Treat #2 has 2
Treat #3 has 2
Treat #4 has 1 (but I didn't get the pinch hit so I'm pretty sure it'll be 2)

"Creator chose not to use archive warnings"

[(Anonymous)]

Do a lot of people tend to use this tag by mistake instead of "contains no archive warnings"? I cannot see how there can be any archive warnings in my gift and if there are any references to them I'm gonna be upset, so I'm nervous that my author's used this tag.

Re: "Creator chose not to use archive warnings"

[(Anonymous)]

Might be someone who uses that on all of their fic as a matter of course, regardless if there's anything in there or not?
