If your author wants to write publicly, oh well? I mean, I have some RPF fic locked, but I chose to do that. It wasn't down to any sort of community pressure. And pretty much every RPF will eventually have someone go 'fuck it' and post publicly anyway.

Ayrt I mean even if your person does Google themself, nothing is stopping the writer from posting a link on unlocked social media after reveals (like many people do) or third parties who don't know anything about the fandom community from reccing it where it'll be found. (and look, most of the sort of people who go looking for fic of their stuff have AO3 accounts at this point anyway.)

Within some fandom communities "don't even talk about it outside lock" is standard but if you nommed it for yuletide you're the one who broke that.

My assignment: a list of DNWs that stretches on forever (boo) and a one-line "idk do whatever" prompt (double boo). What a combo! So inspiring!

but thank u, recip, I WILL do whatever!!!

let's play: DNW WTF

Have coalies help you with that DNW that's just making you go "WTF?"

If archive locking is a common custom in RPF fandom circles, but there are a lot of people who only write RPF for yuletide who wouldn't be aware of that etiquette, then I think it's a reasonable thing to bring up in a request. I still think it's ultimately the writer's decision, but archive locking a gift fic is something that just might not occur to a lot of writers without someone asking for it.

My recip DNWs unrequested ships, or darkfic unless it's shippy. They also DNW gen fluff. They have no fandom-specific prompts; all their general likes are shippy. They have requested "any" and not requested any ships. At all.

Coal what do I do??

Oh, that's a great idea, I'm going to make a special label for the ones I want to treat.

Re: let's play: DNW WTF

If I was their writer, they'd be getting casefic/canon-typical hijinks.

Archive locking your fic is fine--your recip must have an AO3 account to participate, so they can access their gift no problem.

What is strongly frowned upon is deleting your fic. If it's necessary for your physical and/or mental wellbeing to delete your fic, the recommendation is to let the mods know and give your recip the opportunity to save their gift if they want. Otherwise, there's a decent chance you'll be banned from future Yuletides.

DNW points out DNW is canon, explicitly DNWs it anyway, then asks for fic about the part of canon where the DNW happens. I guess I just skirt around it somehow?
