Offseason Project - FAQ

[coalcube]

Because coalies like keeping busy.

Every year we have n00bs asking what the difference is between kittyfic and picklefic, EAD and BFE, and what in the fuck dewclaws are. I have made a post where you are welcome to share any knowledge you think would be useful to new coalies looking to blend in the comments. I will link it in the top posts next Yuletide.

Coal Friending Meme

[(Anonymous)]

Can we have one? I want new coalie friends!

Re: Coal Friending Meme

[(Anonymous)]

coadie ran one last year: https://karanguni.dreamwidth.org/290410.html

you could probably still reach out to people.

if you want to host your own (you could promote it on yuletide if you want plausible deniability or get more people) i'm sure coalcube will add it to the top post

Author Reveals

Any surprises? Did you guess right?

Re: Author Reveals

I was convinced I knew who my author was but it was someone whose work I'd never read before! (and there's more for me to read!)

Wow there is some obvious socking going on in chocbox.

Protip: be more subtle with your identical requests and dnws, people.

[(Anonymous)]

Socking is against the rules for CB, right? Report it to the mods >:) Sow chaos. Make them have to kick out their friends >:)))

Chocbox right now, when that's over if another exchange comes along I feel like doing I'll sign up for that.

Tiny fandom recs

[(Anonymous)]

what tiny, tiny fandoms do you want other people to check out between now and the next YT?

Re: Tiny fandom recs

[(Anonymous)]

It's not the tiniest, but Motherland: Fort Salem's probably still going to be eligible unless S2 makes the fandom explode, and anyone who's interested in alternate history, witches, uniform kink, and f/f should at least give it a try!

Automagic app

[karanguni]

Okay coal you guys were here first and I love you best, so you get to beta test this before I release it to the wilds for Actual Beta Testing later: https://autoao3app.firebaseapp.com/#/

Things I've found that aren't in the disclaimer yet: requests with multiple fandoms are not working; requests that use titles blow up the username.

I don't have infinite time for new features but lemme know what might be nice to have/prioritised on a list. Bugs always come first, too! Enjoy.

Re: Automagic app

[(Anonymous)]

Coadie, you are MAGICAL. This is so great!!! A game changer.

Bug report: I'm looking at the Just Married 2021 requests, and even though I've checked the "Only fandoms with prompts" box, it's still showing me fandoms that have no prompts. If I uncheck the box and recheck it, though, then the unrequested fandoms go away.

Automagic App: Search All The Bloody Things

Replace with the exchange slug of your choice and re-scrape if necessary to populate with data. It's like the good ole bad ole days of Load All mania, but on drugs.

Good? Bad? Buggy? Needs Something Else To Make It Better?

Re: Automagic App: Search All The Bloody Things

[(Anonymous)]

It's so beautiful. ;_; I'm excited to try the powered-up searching!

I was actually looking at it yesterday and thinking it'd be good to specify what time zone the "last processed" time was in. Is it the user's local time?
