What’s the keyboard shortcut to bring up easter eggs on the app again?

Re: Questions

[(Anonymous)]

coadie here - I haven't done easter eggs this year yet, so even if you do remember it (I don't! lol) and the app works, the stats will be out of date until I wrangle some time out of the ether. Sorry!

Ah screw it I guess lunch breaks exist for a reason: https://tagset2020.firebaseapp.com/#/Bonus

The usual caveats of data scraping only as accurate of what is out there, also AO3 keeps rate limiting me so maybe something got wonky, let me know if you see any mistakes.

I love you, coadie.

Yuletide newbie here. If a fandom has four nominated characters and I offer only one of them, can I still get matched to someone who requested all four or any?

Re: Questions

[(Anonymous)]

No. Yuletide has AND matching, that means that if someone requests more than one character, they are guaranteed to receive fic that includes all their requested characters, so they will only match to someone who offers all of them.

If you only offer one.... that's not actually possible because minimum character offers is 2. But even if you offer 2, you are only going to match to someone who requests those two, one of those two, or "any".

*facepalm* You're right, the minimum is two. I knew I was forgetting something important. Thank you very much, coalie!

I'd actually forgotten about it two until I was halfway through writing my comment! I was just about to say "if you offer one, you will only match to someone who requests one or any" before I remembered that this isn't possible.

Too many exchanges with too many different sign-up rules...

NA

And keep in mind you can REQUEST only one.

-Signed, someone who was shocked to match on just one character one year because she just couldn't imagine someone would request one without the other.

Can I include a crossover prompt in my letter as a suggestion for my author? its a fandom that would be eligible for YT, but wasn't nominated this year.

Re: Questions

[(Anonymous)]

As long as you have other prompts too, that's perfectly fine!

"Would love to see Marianne Dashwood fall in love with Georgianna Darcy" as the only prompt = asshole

As one of three prompts = borderline

As one of 5+ prompts = completely unobjectionable and fun

Re: Questions

One of many prompts was what I was thinking of- ty, coalie!

Yes.
