Slashy rabbis!

All of the remaining writers joined in because it was hilarious, in addition to the commenters.

Coronation Street, despite the fact that I've watched it my whole life it'd never occured to me to write for it, but as soon as I saw someone had nominated it I started thinking on what to write. Alas nobody ended up requesting it, matbe next year,

I wonder if the John Barleycorn request would have been Sheliak, as they asked for it last year. Maybe they'd be tickled by a Madness treat.

Time to confess your less than exemplary Yuletide history here!

I often use socks. I write a LOT and feel like if I'm gonna write 10 fics I might as well get 4 back.

Re: Your Yuletide sins

well-behaved socks aren't a sin-carry on, coalie!

I used to DNW gen before I came to coal/FFA and realized how much it was frowned upon.

The DNW isn't in my sign-up anymore, but my feelings for gen fic haven't changed.

I used to DNW slash. Past me had a lot of growing to do.

Re: Your Yuletide sins

I've stopped giving gen outs.

I'm a repeat defaulter at various stages including once post-deadline and and close-ish to reveals. To be fair, the post deadline default was due to getting surprise! evicted because my roommate didn't pay the fucking rent (they held the lease, which I was not on.)

But I've still ended up not completing a story about 1/3 of the yuletides I've signed up for.

Re: Your Yuletide sins

[(Anonymous)]

i've stopped reading during the anon period because i don't want to risk kudosing/commenting on a fic by someone i am BEC about.

Re: Your Yuletide sins

[(Anonymous)]

I still don't want slash with a few exceptions for canonically gay characters. I would DNW M/M if it wouldn't look bad.

I once defaulted on a pinch-hit

Re: Your Yuletide sins

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, that's really depressing. :(

I do have one fandom I do this for, though.

[(Anonymous)]

Someone contacted me through the mods, and I'm realizing only now how many of my DNWs clash with my prompts... *hangs head in shame.*

Possibly nitpicking question: the mods phrased it as "Another Yuletide participant has got in contact with us" -- does this mean it's not my author? Or are they just being discreet?

Re: requests you were hoping for that didn't materialize

I guess the person who nommed Rachel Neumeier's Tuyo was hoping to offer rather than request it, but I would've liked to write it :(

Re: Your Yuletide sins

I left a placeholder comment on my 2005 gift and still haven't redeemed it.

[(Anonymous)]

It's probably your author, but they vague it up as much as possible.

Re: Your Yuletide sins

That's fine, as an almost 100% gen writer. If your writer is so hellbent on writing gen despite your preferences, they may as well just go ODAO (which IMO would be quite impolite, they should either write you what you want in this case or default).

Personally, I typically game for gen requests. If I get a shippy one, that's not the recip's fault, it's mine. They don't owe me a gen-out.
