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: What's it going to take for the YT mods to get rid of the FF.net rule?

I don’t think it sucks, I just think it’s a relic that doesn’t matter anymore. The reason it stays is because it’s easy to filter. If it became difficult, the mods wouldn’t power through to protect the sanctity of Yuletide.

Ffnet doesn’t allow explicit fic, doesn’t allow RPF, and a lot of the filtering only became a thing after thousands of fics were already posted. I’m not going there to find fic just like I’m not digging up old LJ comms to find stuff old fandoms. Most Yuletiders aren’t in a Ffnet venn diagram. Single fandom tumblrs or zines would be a better metric than Ffn of where fic that’s actually read by the Ao3 crowd is....
