#35 is all video games and nothing else. If you don't do VG you aren't picking that one up.

#21 is pretty specialized RPF, a mid-90s MG book series they've only read one of, and a 2015 French show they haven't seen all the way through. A lot of people don't like to write for recips who haven't finished a canon.

#23 has good descriptions of the canons and even some links to find them, but the letter is really intimidating. If you wanted to include some dialogue or phrases or hey write the whole fic in any dialect of what used to be called Serbo-Croatian, I’m here for that with bells on!....No way would I pick that up, I couldn't write them anything close to what they wanted.

I do do video games and #35 is impressively hardcore.

one game is 10 years old and has to be played on an emulator with a fan translation patch.

one game, Judgement, is more accessible, (unless you don't have a ps4) but howlongtobeat clocks it as 42-95 hours, not exactly a quick pick up.

and the last game is motherfucking SHENMUE! Which if you don't know, Shenmue is a classic that achieves its legendary immersion through legendary tedium. you can find playthroughs and cutscene compilations online but you'll probably just end up watching the rant reviews.

#35 does offer a link to a cutscene movie for Black Panther/Kurohyou which amounts to ten videos anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour each.

Wow, I did not know any of that!

It's wild that Shenmue is their "accessible" option. They probably put it in there to avoid being unmatchable!

No. If you go off the cutscene movies, Black Panther is about the same length as Squid Game at around 7-8 hours total. Shenmue and Judgment are both much longer than that.

I thought the people requesting pathologic we're hardcore and then...this happened

I thought Judgement was semi-popular, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's very little crossover with Yuletide

The book seems to have only been published in the UK, too. I looked it up because it seemed like something I could read and throw up a minimal fill in an afternoon, but there are only three copies in any libraries in the entire US (and given which libraries, I doubt I could even get it via OCLC. The Amazon and Abe copies all ship from the UK and given givens I wouldn't count on them arriving in time. In theory there's an ebook but I can't find anyone selling it. There are UK pinch hitters but that really reduces the pool.

Not available on the high seas?

I haven't looked because I don't sail the seas much anymore now that I have fifteen ebook library cards, but if anyone knows of a small, literary, uk-friendly port and posts a link here it would probably greatly increase the odds of the pinch hit going.

I'm dubious an official-release ebook really exists though and it doesn't seem like the kind of thing somebody would be super motivated to home OCR and share.

Is this the book?

It is! Okay I got an epub that seems usable, if it's still unclaimed by the time I get off shift tonight I'll read the book and claim. It has a "Guide to Cyberspeak" in the back just in case you don't know what FOAD or EYHO means, it's adorable.

This claims to sell the ebook?

https://www.booktopia.com.au/love-in-cyberia-chloe-rayban/ebook/9781446453902.html

Looks like eBay has a copy from a US seller?

They actually seem to be a UK seller with a US division to make it look like local shipping, given all the text about "made with recycled materials right here in the UK!"

But someone who knows ebay should definitely give it a try.

Do YT mods ever ask people to add requests, or is that not done because it's for rare fandoms?

All y'all who are broaching this because you're so thirsty to see all the requests need to simmer down. FFS.

so what if we are. thirst is perfectly natural. gimme the requests i want to TREAT

Good for you. No one is obligated to add a request they don't really really want just to accommodate your impatience.

DC. It's a legit question, although I'd rather see the requests posted than pressure the outstanding IPHs to add prompts. I've picked up lingering IPHs in other exchanges before, but only after I had a chance to consume the canon.

I just want to see the other requests for my assignment so I can borrow an actual prompt :(

It was bound to happen once they made requests visible at all.

If you don't like seeing it, you could try starting another thread. If it's more interesting than this, people will glom on to it. "Stop talking about this!" is an historically poor way of directing conversation.

go back to ffa and let us help each other find the actual canons in peace
