Subtitles available for #23^^ so it's not buried in the thread.

Looks like #35 got claimed now? So only one to go!

Yay! Go pinch-hitters!

!!!

Yup! Just the no hot takes on the Balkans one left

I have written for the requester of #23 in other exchanges! They are a delightful person who leaves great comments and isn't nearly as scary to write for as those DNWs make them sound!

They seem like a perfectly fine recipient from their letter tbh. I’m assuming that the Balkans thing has a very specific story behind it lol

I mean I suspect it's just an oddly-phrased "no issuefic" tbh.

They also deserve a better Yuletide than the one they got in 2018, when their author uploaded an incomplete fic that was clearly supposed to be a Great Epic:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/16754230

It is long, but it stopped at 3/5 chapters in April 2019 and hasn't been updated since.

Damn. When did the rule that fics had to be complete start?

Pretty much forever?

I suspect what happened is that the author marked it complete at first, and the first chapter was long and detailed enough that mods didn't catch it on checking.

Well before that.

And I don't see another gift for them that year, so they must have let their writer get away with it.

"This is such an interesting and promising premise....I really wish I knew how the story turns out, and how all the tags and the details mentioned in the author's note fit into it."

Like I said, leaves great comments!

Thank you, poor recip, for the timestamp of how wtf that would have been on Dec 30.

Pretty sure that got talked about on coal at the time, because I was boggled by it.

"Like all great stories . . . "

Man, my author's note starts as arrogant as that, we're already off on the wrong foot. It really amazes me how many people, in their summaries and authors notes, tell you how great their stories are. These must be the same people who, if they submit professionally, put the terms of their masterpiece and requested pay and circulation in their cover letters that are in purple script on orange paper with a carefully pressed wax insignia holding the letter closed.
