Yuletide Weather Forecast:
 
Temperatures are estimated to fluctuate between active panic and total apathy into the next weekend. Main assignments will have a minimum temperature of regret and a complete climate change once editing is complete. Expect treat writing to continue at all free hours unless the dangerous front of procrastination cropping up in the Northeast successful moves into the area, effectively killing the treat storm conditions for the season.

1. My rule is if the person signed up for Yuleporn, then if the fic has one really hot sex scene or whatever that you included because you know they wanted Yuleporn, you can tag it. Otherwise, I wouldn't. However, if you wrote PWP or a fic that is all about sex, then you can tag the fic Yuleporn without guilt. Same for Crueltide, etc. If you wrote an unprompted crossover wtf is wrong with you, but if it was a like or outright prompted you're good to use Two for One. tl;dr If the recip asked for it then I think it's fine to tag because you wrote it with the challenge in mind, but otherwise a fic needs to be completely dedicated to the theme because people will be looking through those tags for that stuff. Tagging for Yuleporn because your rated T fic has a makeout scene, when your recip didn't even sign up for Yuleporn, isn't a good look and will seem like you're fishing for eyeballs.

2. I think that's fine. I would also tag with Art, Illustration, or whatever the canonical is for fic that has art of one of the scenes in it.

Hm, this made me even less sure how to tag. So if my recip requested something smutty and I wrote something smutty (not a PWP, but the porn is definitely a big chunk of the word count), I'm probably safe to tag it for Yuleporn, even if they did not specifically sign up for Yuleporn?
