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've had almost a year. How do you write so slow?!

I mean I never have a damn clue what I'm going to request until the noms are all in, and then it takes me at least a week to comb through the noms! I usually swap out at least one request at the last minute based on the signup summary anyway, dunno how you people manage.

Oh, I see what you mean! Well, I usually request what I nominated myself, so I start writing my letter as soon as I nominate and finish it when my noms are approved. My requests are set at this point. If I wanted to add fandoms, I'd probably ask my dentist (still mulling whether to have one this year, might not).

It's offers that are never set for me until almost the end of signups. That's heavily dependent on what people are asking for.

I think most of the early letter posters are the type of participants who nominate exactly what they want to request and don't add additional fandoms based on the tagset. I've been that myself, when there are exactly three things I want beyond anything else. This year, I waited until the tagset went public and half of my requests are things I hadn't thought about until I saw them in the tagset. My letter is nowhere near ready because of that.

The first page at least is going to be people who had their letters already written. They're not waiting for the post to go up and then feverishly writing their letter in a burst of speed, lol.

Too many just reuse old letters.
