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

1. I do sometimes if it’s a themed rec. Usually what they do is put a fandom name on my radar and if the letter that requests it has prompts RTMI then I will get into a fandom. A rec for a fandom with great or canon incest potential where all the requests are for gen or that has boring prompts does nothing for me. Most of the time I click on a letter for a fandom I know and another fandom looks good so I check it out so I can write the prompts tbh.

2. Ready!!!!

3. A million treats for me (I love commenting so I don’t get burnt out) and a million people I can treat.

1. I added new fandoms to my very long "to consume" lists, does that count?? (More seriously, I would like to give at least a few a shot before signups close, but RL and other exchanges and kicking my ass just now.)

2. YULETIDE.

3. An assignment I'm excited about and the time to enjoy working on it.

I really wish you could nominate four things instead of three.

sock up bitch

If that was you on the evidence post, you already know this, but the mods say they will approve individual Star Wars: Visions episodes.

...I wish I could nominate seven things.

i’ve nominated 30 things right now and could max out at 81. if i needed to i have invites to keep on going. we are not the same.

1. Rarely, though if there's something I've been meaning to get to that is getting a lot of yt buzz I might bump it up. I do pick up new fandoms from my assignment a lot though.

(Definitely not from coal threads! Who'd want to *up* their odds of matching with one of you picky wankers?)

2. bluuuuuuuuuuuuu

3. Hoping I don't have a massive monthslong mood-crash starting mid october like the last few yuletides

You are my god.

1. Definitely! That's actually one of my favorite parts about coal/yuletide--picking up new fandoms.
2. Tentatively excited?
3. That I finish my assignment BEFORE I start writing treats.

1. Depends on the year! This year I've picked up one from the promo post, and I usually pick up short canons from coal. Some years I just haven't any headroom. But it's always nice to just hear coalies discussing things they're excited about.

2. Super duper flat. I'm hoping once the tagset comes out I'll have more juice in me.

3. Juicy requests from esoteric historical fandoms

1. Yes I do! I've already picked up two new canons from promo posts.
2. Exhausted Butts.
3. Good Wrapping Paper requests. I want to do the arts for Yuletide!

Lol like Yuletide is a very serious institution.

1. I've consumed one or two things, but I haven't really felt like writing fic for them, so not really? Or maybe?
2. Wheeeeeeee!
3. That my recip absolutely ADORES what I write and shows it.

Ah, bringing the good ol' FFA "If you disagree with me you're a troll" mentality everywhere.

"Micromanaging" is the word for it.

Fuck yeah, I've got my eye out for treats to write too.

1. To request, not usually, but I'm checking out some new fandoms from here that I'm hoping to treat!

2. Last week I felt kinda deflated and had no idea what to nom, request, or offer, but now that noms are actually underway the exciting is coming back.

3. I hope I'm able to write at least 3 fics this year. Last year two years I managed 4 and I'm not sure that'll happen again, but Yuletide is the only time I fic anymore so I want to make it count.

I also hate worldbuilding. I nominate canon characters. I request canon characters. I prompt for fics about the canon characters. Why would you give me a fic about your OC/a fic with 980 words of worldbuilding and 21 words of dialogue?

Which Yuletide Admins/Maintainers definitely go here? Other than Morbane, of course (hi Morbane!).

1. Sometimes, but I’m admittedly never in much of a hurry to read/watch them specifically for the current Yuletide.

2. ALL OF THE ABOVE w/ EXTRA BUTTS

3. That I’m matchable as a writer. It’s never not happened before, but I’m feeling more this year like having to pick from the less compatible requests in my fandoms would be rough.

1. Sometimes if a. it's namespace and I know the reccer and their tastes jive with mine b. it's something I already meant to consume but haven't found the right impetus or c. it's the perfect storm of I'm bored and it's a short canon with an intriguing hook.

2. I'm definitely looking forward to all the butts.

3. Just have fun, tbh. I should have defaulted last year, but decided to tough it out and, shockingly, didn't have a good time. I've had an exchange hangover for most of the year and not wanted to participate in anything since, but the siren call of Yuletide has lured me in again.

If you're including all the people who help out behind the scenes, that's a pretty big list of maintainers!

People from the tag mod list who I remember anon failing here or specifically referencing coal wank in the IRC/Discord or outright outing themselves over the years

- Morbane
- Isis
- Pameluke
- Prinzenhasserin
- StripySock
- asuralucier
- karanguni
- thedevilchicken
- weakinteraction
- The_Plaid_Slytherin
- ictus
- Rosencrantz

I don't remember half of those people doing any of those things.
