If you hate outsider POV, yeah, it could be coal to you. Add outsider POV to your DNWs next time so authors know.

It's not against the rules, though, as long as your requested and eligible characters feature.

The requested character shows up for the second half of the story (500 words). No insight into them or their motivations; they just do stuff.

If they're around and doing things for 500 words, I think that would count as "featured" for the purposes of Yuletide, coalie.

It can definitely still be coal to the recip! and I as an author would have had them appear across the full fic. But "featured" generally means they appear on-screen for a decent chunk of the fic, and I'd say 50% counts. "Featured" doesn't require interiority. I really can't see the mods dinging this.
