Amazing

Name em

yes - if you're gonna sock up, put in the effort up front.

what about people who just want to treat/pinch hit?

In the ODAO thread someone linked this - his opinions on corporal punishment that have nothing to do with the recip or the fic:

nothing changes? you just pre-write if you want to sign up

yeah, basically to get a gift, you have to write a fic before but you can still write without getting a gift

what the actual fuck!

I'd originally thought about giving one of the Seven Dwarfs Asbergers, but my wife dissuaded me on the grounds that there are probably many readers who'd be too sensitive about that sort of thing--I also decided I don't know enough about it to write it effectively anyway, so I went with CDO a la "Big Bang Theory's" Sheldon Cooper, although the character development went in a different direction anyway and I ended up giving those traits to the Cinderella character.

OH. MY. GOD.

And he also references offending his vegetarian recip! What a fucking piece of work.

so do all potential pinch hitters have to write a fic first?

I kinda like it--it potentially would get rid of kittyfic.

You can always tell when people haven’t really read his fic/interacted with him because he says and does this shit all the time. The homophobe, misogynist, etc labels are all true and he digs up weird other -isms to add to the list each year completely unprompted.

i don’t know what you don’t get. to SIGN UP you basically have to treat or ph the year before. if you don’t want to sign up, you don’t. people who only ph or treat will not be impacted by this rule. only those who are signing up for their first yuletide would be impacted because they have to ph or treat that first year in order to be eligible to sign up their next year.

Lol, and he's kinda victim-blamey about the poor vegetarian recip, basically saying she should've had it in her letter/DNWs if she didn't want people killing animals and eating raw organ meat from the carcasses. (In a Howl's Moving Castle fic, not a grimdark canon where one might possibly expect it!)

That sort of thing is why I don't even try to have exhaustive DNWs. If someone wants to be THAT clueless, I'm not going to be able to protect myself from them.

Also I am in awe of his fic-sized comments in return to his recip's normal, polite ones. Man, if I ever match to him, I'm insta-defaulting for sure.

alright, chill! I got it, coalie.

and what if you skip a year? do you have to write a fic in order to sign up again? does that mean that yuletide starts earlier to give people time to write pre-yt fic? i'm into it, ngl.

I matched to him once. It was definitely a weird experience but I tried to just write a fic I could be proud of. The only thing that sucked is that my muse DEFINITELY wanted two of the female characters to be together, but I couldn't go there because of his preferences. So the story always feels ~wrong to me.

i bet skipping a year would be fine but if you default you restart from 0 fic.

i dont think yuletide would start earlier. you probably have to get a nyr written before signups close in order to participate in that years round.

What if you had to submit writing samples to sign up?

What if you could get a fandom allowed if the 1k+ English fic was mostly trash?

Depends on how critical and whether the comment contains anything else but criticism. If it's just criticism, nothing else or barely anything else, I'd delete it.

Otherwise I'd respond to the rest as if the criticism wasn't there, or (if it's phrased politely enough) say something else "sorry X didn't work for you, but I'm glad you enjoyed the story anyway".

Chapters, please.

He's awful and should have been banned years ago. People who defend him either don't know much about him or they're as bad as him, period.

I've heard about it, but did not realize it was cosmic horrory! I'll def need to check it out now!

More or less obscure books. The chances of you running across my requests are thus very slim, but who knows. At least it's good to know that someone out there wants to write this sort of stuff. <3

I skipped 04 and didn't have to pre-write 05. Thought at this point you'd probably have to set *some* time limit.
