This is Yuletide, everybody make a scene

I am the sock with the tear-away face
Low-effort with your gift and gone without a trace
I am the "who" when you call, "Who does an exchange without acknowledging their gift?"
I am the wanker blowing through your fics comments
I am the coalie dragging your letter at night
Filling your exchange to the brim with fright!

This is Coaltide!

Re: How do you nominate?

Use canonicals to nom your fandom & characters > Change the fandom to something else > hit save. If someone else has nommed them, you will get an error saying those characters have been nommed in [correct fandom you wanted] and you need to disambiguate yours.

This works for uncanonical fandoms too but is a little harder. I just tried to nom a show with no fic and got this error because I made the title be Show (TV 2020) while the other person used Show (TV). I now know I don't need to wast a nom spot because that show and character have been covered by someone else.

Note: if it's a fandom you really, really want, don't leave it up to chance. Other people can delete their noms, and that is the benefit of a nomming sock army. This trick us useful for edge cases, but I always make sure to nominate the fandoms I really want myself even if other people have done it. Trust no one!
