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

(Anonymous) 2021-09-13 04:17 am (UTC)(link)Right now a 1k fic that is primarily about the goingson of the ship with Dave and Taylor relegated to the background is within the rules. If worldbuilding becomes something you match on, you have a stronger case to go to the mods and say "this person wrote worldbuilding when I didn't request it" similar to how right now you can say "I asked for Dave and Taylor and this fic only has a one-line mention of Taylor, therefore it doesn't meet the spirit of my two-character request."
From my understanding of the new rules proposed, if someone only requested "Worldbuilding (Spaceshow)" and I wrote them a completely insular fic about Dave and Taylor having a conversation about how they're best friends (or wrote shipfic where they made out for 1k and I tossed in a line about how making out is a fun pastime on the spacestation), that would go against the requested Worldbuilding focus and the recip would be entitled to an EPH. Which should mean the opposite is true: if someone then writes a worldbuilding-heavy fic that neglects the characters, someone who didn't ask for Worldbuilding should be entitled to a fic that focuses on their characters.
If the mods will not be handling the rules in that way then I don't think it's fair. It would be like having a & and / exchange where the mods police what counts as too shippy for a & fic but you can outright turn the / request into a NOTP bashing party and they shrug. If mods won't be enforcing either side then why bother having it at all, may as well leave it to optional details like it's always been.

(Anonymous) 2021-09-13 04:45 am (UTC)(link)You could try DNW-ing worldbuilding, but you'd probably just stress out much better writers, while the person who produced the work-shifts-on-a-space-ship/station piece you loathed would give you infodumping regardless.
