Coalie should have had in their letter “you don’t have to use both characters”. Coalie clearly knows that they didn’t, and if they weren’t so cool this really could have ruined someones Yuletide and ended up in more work for the mods.

Yes it’s lucky this worked out fine but don’t you see that just because one person can drive 200 MPH and not get in an accident doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be speed limits? The absolute worst thing this author will get is a heads up warning. Letting the mods know about issues before they happen saves authors and recips. These are the same mods that will mediate questions from treat writers, obviously they are going to be open and encourage these types of mod alerts.

This ice-cold take. You're making the weird assumption the author serially goes around only writing one character in people's requests, rather than considering that maybe coalie's prompts just kind of sucked and they were doing their best.

It doesn’t matter if the prompts sucked, that is what ODAO. You still can’t turn AND matching into an OR fic.

The flip side of this wank is the Die Hard fic that was all about John’s wife and not the requested John/Matt ship.

Well if Matt was mentioned in passing, god forbid the recip mention it to a mod, I guess, because he's not required to actually have a line or anything to count as being in the fic.

Sometimes I just don't know.

But it's not an "or." That's the point. One character is there in a very small role. The requirements are met. It's a technicality that means you're maybe not getting quite what you wanted, but it's still one that A) you know the mods aren't really going to give a shit about and B) that you know doesn't really matter in the scheme of things. So really, you just want to have a tantrum.

You sound like you have a terribly ugly soul.

Privately going to the mods to say “I’m not sure if this is a bad thing, but I don’t want anyone else to have a bad time next year even though I had a good time” is the opposite of a tantrum. They could have sat on this information but they are trying too look out for that author and their future recips. If you are so focused on the “they had a good time so who cares” part that you can’t see that then I’m sorry.

You sound like the sort of person who goes around saying things like, "You sound like you have a terribly ugly soul," and I honestly can't imagine going through life being as petty and pathetic and small as you are. I hope you experience a genuine holiday miracle and that the ghosts of Yuletide Past, Present, and Future manage to make you into a doper person.

Damn they hurt your feelings LMAO

Maybe next year I'll go around writing 49 treats with only one character requested just for the lolz.
