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

Re: Stupid Questions
(Anonymous) 2021-10-14 02:30 am (UTC)(link)I think it's the result of matching harder participants first. You end up with the hardest people to match and then the people who are so matchable their potential authors aren't already taken by the hard-to-match participants that come out of the algorithmic matching without needing to be a pinch hit.
Initial pinch hits seem to be people who either literally have no potential authors or people who, despite requesting mid-sized or large-for-Yuletide fandoms, have no potential author because any potential author was already assigned to someone else.
