COALTIDE Episode IV: A New Hope

[coalcube]

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....

I'm rereading my recip's letter and I wish there was more in the way of prompts and what ships they're into. It's all just vague mentions of they love the feel of the show and either ships or gen is fine, they want to read the story I'm inspired to write.

I already have an idea I really like (and I've gotten way worse assignments), but I guess I'll have to go looking for treats to write the fic of someone's dreams.

This could be me. I hope it's not, but I always lean towards this kind of language when I selected "any" in a canon with 4+ characters offered. But odds are if I didn't mention a pairing specifically SOMEWHERE in my ramblings, I like it but don't love it quite as much.

If it is you, know that I am honestly really excited to be writing for this fandom and we're in total agreements on your general likes and the idea I'm working on is going to be *chef's kiss*

I just love writing for people's niche desires. So while it's super freeing to be told write anything, it doesn't quite scratch that Yuletide itch for me.
