Re: Your Yuletide sins

[(Anonymous)]

I used to DNW gen before I came to coal/FFA and realized how much it was frowned upon.

The DNW isn't in my sign-up anymore, but my feelings for gen fic haven't changed.

It isn't an enforceable DNW in Yuletide, and you should probably do other exchanges if getting a gen ODAO would absolutely ruin your experience, but I think it's reasonable to want shipfic above everything else and to say as much in your letter, outside the DNW section. I think it's only good manners to honour such a preference and the vast majority of writers will be happy to do so regardless of their personal tastes.

Ayrt

Yeah, I've done Yuletide since year two and I've never once received something that wasn't shippy. It probably helps that I interpret shipfic very generously, and that my letter is very enthusiastic about what I like.

To be honest, any complete ODAO (by which I don't mean ignoring my prompts, which is perfectly fine, but going against the gist of my preferences) would ruin my exchange - but that hasn't happened to me in 50+ exchanges. Not even the socktopus managed to do fuck up that badly!
