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

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.

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

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.

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?

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.
