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?"

Didn't that kind of happen with one fic last year? First it was an explicit death, then after the mod enforced an edit it was an implied death everyone in the fandom fucking well knew was a death? And the mods let it be?

I don't think it was last year. It was a fic for Darker Than Black. Unless this has happened yet again.

(It was 2015)

There's also someone who's posted on FFA about getting a fic that violated a character death DNW by being about her fave posthumously - all Fave's friends reminiscing about good times with Fave after his death. Mods decided it was fine because Fave didn't die onscreen.

It's really shitty. It's like they really want to go back to the old free-for-all Slave Bear days, but they know they can't stuff the DNW genie back in the bottle, so they enforce DNWs as grudgingly and sparingly as they possibly can. I'd rather they drop the pretense so we all know what we're getting into.

Jesus H. Why would anybody write that for somebody who DNWed character death. How does that not fucking compute for people?
