But how would you know their fandoms. Just pick whatever they’ve written in the past that is Yuletide eligible?

The unrequested treat author would have to put it in Madness. Someone doing ODAO treats for people that gave no indication they are still in the fandom/want them is 100% in it for the eyeballs and is not going to waste their idea on Madness to be forgotten and ignored.

This is an invented problem that exists only in your mind coalie.

People do, literally, do this. I'm so sorry you can't comprehend it.

People were talking about exactly looking at past Yuletide letters and fandoms for pinch hitters, and people signed up who had only placeholders, yes indeed.

Nobody has any idea you took a PH unless you de-anon on the post where PHers ask for fics. The only way anyone will know you did Yuletide is on 1/1/2020 and by then it is too late and would have to be a NYR.

Even if they did see a letter from 2002, if you ARE NOT SIGNED UP and DID NOT REQUEST THAT FANDOM THIS YEAR, it has to go into madness.

If you are one of the extremely rare cases where someone picks your prompt from years ago even though you gave no indication at all that you’re doing Yuletide this year (or even still alive) and give you a gift you don’t even want to pretend to engage with in Madness, you can reject that thing and never look back.

This is an invented problem. In your head. It you are seriously this upset about it then you can DM coadie and ask that you be blacklisted from the app even though your name is all over the Yuletide collection for anyone to notice and see. This isn’t some Mutant Registration Act taking away your rights, coalie. Unless you sock up/stay anon (which tbh it sounds like you should if this is an active fear for you) then we have always been able to know you were writing treats/PHs despite signing up. You showed up on the prolific list.

It literally hasn’t happened. Link me to one single case.
