I guess my pitch is to acknowledge that Yuletide is an exchange for people who use ao3, at this point. That’s the fannish community we care about. There’s overlap, of course, with watt pad and ffnet and the rest. And god knows I have some old fic I posted on ffnet from way back. But it’s an ao3 exchange. Why are we randomly grandfathering in another website?

DC I guess your pitch is that you're bitter your too-big-for-Yuletide fandom is too big for Yuletide, and why, oh why, won't the mods just get rid of FF.net so your too-big-for-Yuletide fandom can squeeze back in. You're no better than all the idiots that try to lawyer the rules every year to get their clearly ineligible fandoms approved.

*rolls eyes* I wholly agree with the CYRT, and my biggest fandom has <50 fics total and a whopping 9 fics on FFN. Sometimes people want rule changes for reasons other than blatant self-interest.

I can guarantee my letter last year was rarer than yours, lol. I think there was a total of five fics in existence, for all my fandoms, both platforms.

I just think consistency is a good.

My pitch is to get rid of ff.net because the interface fucking sucks. Not a single fandom I have ever requested in more than 10 years has ever been near the limit at any point, even now, but that doesn't mean I can't think the exchange would be better off admitting it's an AO3 exchange and dump ff.net and any other archive.
