I had to write a qualifying fic to participate! This was in 2005, and I think I wrote something to a prompt from the previous year, but honestly I don't remember what the details of the requirement were very clearly or why they were requiring qualifying fics from new participants.

Yep, I also started participating in 2005 and I had to write a fic to participate. It was more or less like getting yourself cleared from a late default is now: you could pick any prompt from the previous year and write it for the NYR collection in order to be allowed to participate. (Once you were in, though, you were in - it was only a rule for first-time participants.)

I don't remember what year they stopped requiring this, and I really don't know why they even had this requirement. I suspect it was so that people would understand rare fandoms mean rare fandoms, here's an example, if there's nothing here you can write you won't be able to find things to write and request for the actual event.

I think they only had it that one year. I started in 2006, and I didn't have to write anything to get in.

I can also confirm you didn't have to do this in 2004.

Oh good, we few, proud 2005 coalies were the lucky ones. How weird.
