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.

Re: Need an Opinion, Coal

Wouldn't that massively depends on the setting? In historical, post-apocalyptic or some fantasy fandoms, "a cold or a fever" IS a life-threatening illness.

Incidentally, in my fandoms, h/c and sickfic is mostly synonymous with "moderately serious but non-lethal gunshot wound", so this is probably canon-dependent.

Yeah, in most of my fandoms sickfic and h/c involve hospital trips because someone was too independent/broken/worried-about-seeming-weak to let their partner know how bad the flu/gunshot/being-beaten-half-to-death/etc had gotten.

I have been told there are fandoms where sickfic literally just means a bowl of chicken soup and a cold compress and some cuddling, but... that has not been my experience :P
