In days of yore, you could put a fic in the collection without a recip. The gift was for the Yuletide Fairy, and was meant to be a gift to the fandom as a whole. (No idea how this got started--maybe somebody had been writing something for a recip who dropped out???)

IIRC, it used to be that you could even put it in the main collection, although some people frowned on that. Later, it was something you could do only if you put it in the Madness collection. Apparently, it's no longer a thing at all.

Sorry for the vague history, but it's never been anything I followed closely.

1) Don't put something in the main collection unless it would work as someone's assignment.

2) Don't put something in the main collection if you absolutely, positively want your fic to be a treat instead of a pinch hit.

I guess I'm not filtering right on the app....OH, it was by show title, wasn't it. Never mind, I'm dumb today!

Lost Boy by Christina Henry. I would have loved to write yandere Peter Pan fic.

+1 I wish Madness wouldn't be a thing anymore because these days it's where fics go to die

My assignment will probably only be in the 1500-2000 range. I'm thinking 40000 for the longest, average at around 1200.

you're right and you should say it

I was really intrigued by the promo post for The Feminine Regime, but alas, no requests.

around ten years ago there was an account called yuletidefairy who wrote gifts for people, and you could also gift your fic to them - I think? I'm pretty sure I didnt dream this up.

Disclaimer: I'm not in this fandom, although I've consumed other Flanagan canons.

1. Selkit. 10/10 would write for. Not a very detailed letter but the prompt for a character study for a monstrous nonhuman creature is very appealing.

2. hernameinthesky. Again, a nice prompt about the Angel and also plenty of gen and worldbuilding possibilities with a side of non-explicit f/f. Lots of likes that give me ample prompt ideas. Only gets 2nd place because I liked Selkit's prompt a little more.

3. hangingfire. Some excellent worldbuilding prompts there, just detailed enough to be exciting but not too detailed to stifle the writer's imagination. I'd be happy to get them as a recip.

4. Cougwar. I know nothing about the character, so that's why it's not immediately appealing, but I do like h/c and the fact that they specifically want gen is a definite plus. Would write.

5. Addison R. It's okay. Nothing I'd get excited about but it's workmanlike. The prompts have little detail and don't mesh that well with the likes.

6. loyalsidekicks. No problem here, I could work with this, I'm just not a fan of barebones letters. Also don't see why this had to be a letter at all, they could've just put this in the sign-up.

7. Kameiko. Clearly a sock of another person on the list, but that's not an issue. The formatting is killing me. The likes seem very workable but my eyes would fall out if I had to read all of them.

8. scorpiod. The formatting of the likes makes me want to commit delete. Otherwise not really bad but their gen-outs seem rather like something they felt they had to put in. Not interested.

9. nighimpossible. Wants het shipfic, I wish them luck but am not interested.

I'm hoping the partridge in a pwar tree challenge will change that!

+1 whoever thought it up is a good egg!

There's a request! It just doesn't show up in the summary but it is in the app.
