Coalie in Post-DeadlineLand

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?"

I had to update my DNWs after someone gave me a fic including multiple of my requested ships ages ago. I’m sure they thought “Coalie wants all these, so I’ll give her everything she wants!” But the end result was a fic where two of my fave ships broke up, so I was too sad about that to enjoy the endgame ship.

Which is an anecdote to say, unless they say “I want both ships in the fic” it’s safer to assume “I ship XY and YZ” means in different fics.

+a million

I have fandoms where I multiship, but that doesn't mean I want X and Y to break up so Y and Z can get together; I mean I'd be happy with scenarios where Y gets together with X or with Z.

It's like a switchboard, not a mixing bowl.
