The Coalies Are Back In Town

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Coaltide Bar'n'Grill
The receipts will flow and wank will spill
And if the coalies wanna fight, you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song
The nights are getting longer, it won't be long
Won't be long 'til Yuletide comes
Now that the coalies are here again

They could mean these specific canons do.

We know. We know.

I get frustrated when I'm trying to nominate a (new to AO3) non-English canon that doesn't use the Latin Alphabet, and the translated version of a character's name is spelled in different ways by different sources.

Yes, and anyone who says they aren't also goes there and is a big fat liar.

Look, it's not that I have any great moral opposition to it or anything, I will drop in to read if someone links an interesting thread sometimes, but I don't have the time? Or energy? And I'm frankly not sure how any of y'all do.

Maybe if I end up depressed, unemployed and in bed all day again I'll go to the effort of learning enough of the culture to keep up, but then again if I'm depressed and in bed all day I will probably still have better things to spend my even more limited energy on.

I'm possibly going to be having incest prompts for every fandom this year. I'm in a nineteenth-century gothic novel mood, and those generally lend themselves to good incest pairings.

I see you

Someone in YT discord today referenced a Coalie meme. I see you, fellow Coalie. Secret Coal handshake later

Damn, you guys really think it's all about you.

You're dead.

And out of this world.

Can't we even get a rise from the coalies who hate OCs? Look, the mods said you can't DNW them when asking for worldbuilding with no other characters.

lol it's still a bit early for proper wank. Patience, coalie - the letter post approaches!

Did they? Good. I want to write a fic, not an encyclopedia article.

Thanks for this rec, I'm on ep 3 and really enjoying it!

Idk about other coalies but my lurk has gone to 100% even though my energy is at 1%. Need to get through nominations and other exchanges and real life garbage first, then the coaltide can riseeeeeee

(Anonymous) 2021-09-27 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
What If... is in - but the mods want individual episodes, so that seems like the way to go here.

The Silt Verses, horror podcast by the same creators as I am in Eskew.

Re: Canon Recs - WW1

The Summer Before the War, which, despite its title, covers the war itself as well as the preceding summer.

Rilla of Ingleside, the last book in the Anne of Green Gables series, is set during WWI, focusing on what life was like for women at home in Canada during the war. It was originally published in 1921, so it's a contemporary depiction. I don't know whether it will be Yuletide-eligible this year, however.

The first new Halloween sequel that came out in 2018 was really fun IMO - traumatized badass Laurie Strode, great complicated female relationships. And the second sequel comes out just before signups close!

(This trilogy ignores all previous Halloween canon except the original 1978 movie, so you can ignore all the stuff in between.)

Re: Canon Recs

It's already appeared at multiple film festivals (some of which I imagine had virtual screenings this year). Could you argue that it's already come out?

Re: Canon Recs

(Anonymous) 2021-09-28 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder about this too. Mods will let in a movie that’s in theaters in one country but not others, but what if a high quality/bluray has leaked online and has been out for weeks/months despite the official date still being far out/it technically still being on the festival circuit? Presumably only people who have seen it will request/offer so what is the harm?

Re: Canon Recs

I mean regardless of personal feelings presumably they don't want to go on the record as actively encouraging illegal piracy?

Re: Canon Recs

(Anonymous) 2021-09-28 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't have to be about piracy. If a movie has been shown at multiple festivals, isn't that like them accepting a specific production of a play, which also has a lot of access limitations?

Re: Canon Recs

(Anonymous) 2021-09-28 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
cyrt - yeah, if it's had even a limited "public" release, that does seem like it ought to be allowed, since they allow live theater that was never recorded.

If it's available in bootlegs only though, probably not.

Coal Poll - Gearin' Up

(Anonymous) 2021-09-28 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
A poll for coal.

1. Do you pick up new fandoms from promo posts/coal rec threads?
2. How are you feelin'? Excited? Exhausted? Butts?
3. One wish for your Yuletide 2021 season
