The Coalies Are Back In Town

[coalcube]

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

Are you going to promote any of your canons there? Do you see anything you're thinking about checking out?

I'm eyeing The Darkside Detective with interest! Point and click games are exactly my speed, and I love horror-adjacent stuff and pixel art.

I spy at least two people already who didn't read "If your fandom appears too big before you use those filters, and is easily under 1,000 combined works after you apply the filters, then you don't need to tell us about it."

are you being self-righteous about people not reading when this is in fact the PROMO post and not the ELIGIBILITY post?

Re: Promo Post

They are probably going "better safe than sorry", coalie. It's no big deal.

Re: Promo Post

I spy a coalie who thinks the promo post is the evidence post.

Re: Promo Post

I've gotten more engagement with fandoms there than the promo post anyway, it's not wrong <_<

Are we supposed to talk to people on the promo post? It always felt rude to me.

Re: Promo Post

[(Anonymous)]

Coalie, I think it's OK to do it. I sure love it when people squee with me about my small fandoms!

Re: Promo Post

I think if you're planning on writing it then I (personally) wouldn't interact because it's too easy to de-anon yourself preemptively.

If you're going to request it too, or would eventually be interested in reading the fic that is produced (this would probably be a great thing for a Good Egg* to do, to let any potential authors know it's not really a fandom of two) but won't be offering/requesting, then commenting can't do anything but help, I think.

* the only downside being that if they think you, the Good Egg, may write it and are therefore intimidated and decide not to write it...

Rude? It's completely fine.

Re: Promo Post

I wonder if the feeling that it’s rude/weird is (mis)attributed to how people hate when others make chitchat on the letters post/nomination coordinating posts because it means you can’t edit it anymore?

Re: Promo Post

coalie upthread

Yeah, that's the main reason, that you'll no longer be able to edit your promo if I talk to you about it. And people just don't reply to them that often, so then it feels like you're not supposed to.

Re: Promo Post

At this point, I'm only picking up canons like movies or 5-minute fandoms and none have caught my eye.

That's even if they have decent write-ups. Too many don't tell me what the thing is, it's all "awesome ladiez!!" or "What makes it great? It's my fav and I cried." Cool. That gives me exactly zero useful information.

How gauche is it to copy/paste my promo from two years prior?

Re: Promo Post

[(Anonymous)]

Not at all…however if you haven’t had any/many takers, it may ne worth giving a refresh.

Re: Promo Post

[(Anonymous)]

Why would it be?

And even if it was... who would notice?

Re: Promo Post

[(Anonymous)]

Not even the tiniest bit gauche. Okay I strained my brain really hard to think of a situation where it would be gauche, and I came up with: you aren't going to nominate it, you just want people to know it exists. That would be annoying.

People who've read it already will skim over it or reconsider it. No skin off their nose, no harm. People who haven't read it are your target audience and they're who matter and it's useful new information!
