COALTIDE Episode IV: A New Hope

It is a period of indecision.
Gaming gone right for some,
coalies successfully snagging
the assignment they wanted,
the first major hurdle against
Yuletide odds is a victory.

However for those not as lucky
to have gotten the recipient they
wanted, coalies can't help but
think about the hidden requests, 
missed bullet and gem alike,
they now have to wait months
to get access to.

Haunted by these assignments that
could have been, or perhaps 
mourning the gaming attempt that
went awry, coalies tell themselves
that they will get started on their
assignment right away so that they can
treat to their hearts content and
restore happiness to the Yuletide galaxy....

My assignment is true neutral. I can write something solid for it and it will not engage my brain whatsoever. So I'll get that done and then go hunting for treats to write. This will either be a very prolific year or one where I knock out my assignment by the beginning of November and forget about Yuletide altogether til it goes live.

DA

Oh man, anon, I’m jealous! If I’m not feeling an assignment I can’t just write whatever and submit. I always feel like it’s crap. I have to be into it.

Me and my sock both got this exact type of assignment. My recips are going to probably get 5k of something that won't strain me at all to write, and then I'll have the whole rest of the time to write ambitious treats that stress me the fuck out. I'm so excited!

This is exactly the same as me. The fandom we matched on is one I have written in before and feel confident about, and my recipe requests were along the lines of 'i like these characters, write them together pre or post canon'. I can write a nice fic for them, but it won't be /exciting/

And so much about exchange fic is explained.
