"Send an email to yuletideadmin@gmail.com that includes the number of the pinch hit you want and your AO3 name."

If you're seeing pinch hit 11, reply to it, say you want it, and give your AO3 username.

Also, put the whole of your prompts in your signup, lady, not just one line and the rest in your letter!

?? Putting your prompts in your letter instead of your signup is extremely normal, I'd say probably more common than otherwise for people who have letters.

request bets

when do you think requests will become visible/all IPHs will be picked up?

Re: request bets

(Anonymous) 2021-10-25 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)

Beach Rats is also not about a relationship.

It's never a bad idea to do that, but definitely not enforceable.

(Anonymous) 2021-10-25 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
With such a huge pool of PHs, that makes little sense. I love Yuletide but some of its rules are stuck in the past.

(Anonymous) 2021-10-25 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
8 remaining PHS out of 1400, less than a day later, is "huge" to you?

but if anybody spoils me for NiF beyond episode 35 I will murder them.

LOL that letter was a wild ride.

I just find these DNWs really condescending. Like they think they're some kind of exception for wanting well-written fic and are trying to micromanage it in any possible way.

""Joking"" threats of violence, just want you want in a Yuletide letter! /s

+1

(Anonymous) 2021-10-25 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Just because no one has picked up these PHs yet doesn't mean the pinch hitter pool isn't huge. There are way more people signed up to the PH list or reading it that there are signed up for YT.

What is "sanctioned infidelity"?

(Anonymous) 2021-10-25 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Per the most recent email- Still seeking: 6, 11, 17, 20, 21, 23, 24, 35

I think like a hallpass where you are given permission to “cheat” with certain people/within certain situations and not have it count as cheating.

Re: let's play: DNW WTF

(Anonymous) 2021-10-25 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
And here is why we were complaining about "no kink" DNWs last post.

Ask mods or ODAO gen that skirts the power issues, I think that's your only options.

I've seen "consensual infidelity"- when A/B is a couple, but one partner gives the other partner permission to go have sex with C, who may or may not know that A or B is in a relationship.

Not yet!

Still rude if it's rpf.

(Anonymous) 2021-10-25 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Also Nope isn't a lady, so just wrong all the way around.

Historical Comparison Game

(Anonymous) 2021-10-25 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Take your assigned fandom, plug it into the search bar at https://autoao3app.firebaseapp.com/#/everything, and evaluate your recip's request in the light of historical requests for that fandom.

Is it typical for the fandom? Did you dodge a bullet? Or are you writing something altogether new for Yuletide? Other observations?

(Anonymous) 2021-10-25 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
There was a time when we didn't get the full requests at all. And then until I think the original deadline. And then we didn't get it until assignments had been out for a few weeks. I think you can handle the old rules and waiting, like, two days?
