I'd love to write at least one treat as well as my assignment because I've had an awful two years writing-wise but I have a new fandom and hopefully that leads to some new ideas.

I think it's a question of when coadie wakes up/has a free moment and can do it.

Can someone explain to a newb what this is? Sounds interesting

Someone nominated a pair of obscure German fandoms that the mods couldn't find any information on, since the nominator had apparently just made them up to pad their requests. The nominator wrote some short ficlets in an effort to support the ruse, and of course what happens when other people discover that you've made up a fake fandom is that they start building on it and writing their own fic for it too.

How is that a self rec? It just tells you they write a lot of self indulgent fic.

Drabbles are disappointing because I don't like the form and they're very rarely complete stories. And social convention demands I find something nice to say about them anyway.

(This is why I dnw drabbles and drabble collections)

Re: Letter 3T1L - Mary Renault book letters

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly. Unless the characters are explicitely racist/sexist and it's necessary to avoid/retcon those elements, "plz no racism" feels insulting

I think it was a fair question, because other exchanges can be input. yuletide is its own beast
