Isn't there a something or other (exchange? Challenge?) called Be The First for that specifically?

Anyway, if you make the mini challenge post people will comment...

+1 I'd love to see this in Yuletide!

Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]

idk how to do that

Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]

You just go ahead and post to yuletide

Just needs a cute title. "Yule Be First"?

Then some copy and paste format, usually username and letter link, list of fandom(s)/characters. I suggest also adding a field for "how to find" since presumably some of these fandoms are obscure.

"Yule Be First" - I love that!!

That’s a great title! Honestly though I’m too lazy and shy to ever make up a mini challenge and figure out all those details, but if someone else here wants to do it, it’d be much appreciated!

I'm not willing to bust the filament-thin bubble of plausible deniability I have about being on coal (I don't know why, it's stupid honestly), but maybe coadie or yulebegay will graciously provide their challenge posting services...

Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]

I'd be willing to do it when I get off of work if no one does it before then.

Does anyone want to compile a list of fandoms that qualify?

Re: your ideal gifts

you're awesome, yulebegay coalie!

wouldn't it be easier/faster to make it so people can comment if they've requested a 0-fic fandom?

Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks yulebegay! Yeah I think it probably works (and is less work for you) if people can just comment if they've requested a 0-fic fandom

Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]

Are we including fandoms synned with original works? Are we including other-media type 5 minute fandoms? Just leaving that up to commenter discretion, maybe?

Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'd just say "0-fic fandom" and leave it to people's discretion!

Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]

I'd say to not complicate it and leave it up to commenter discretion, but honestly whatever the person who makes the post wants to do is fine

Re: your ideal gifts - Yule Be First Coal Poll

[yulebegay]

About to post now but I just want a quick opinion poll: should it only be for fandoms, or do we want to include requests where it will be the first fic for a pairing or character too?

Re: your ideal gifts - Yule Be First Coal Poll

[(Anonymous)]

I would love the latter!

Re: your ideal gifts - Yule Be First Coal Poll

[(Anonymous)]

I say just leave it to fandoms but if people want the first shipfic/characterfic I don't have a big problem wiht it.

Re: your ideal gifts - Yule Be First Coal Poll

[(Anonymous)]

coalie who suggested it but was lazy: i'm fine with either. Thanks for taking this on!

Re: your ideal gifts - Yule Be First Coal Poll

[(Anonymous)]

jk, saw that you already posted it! Thank you yulebegay!!!!!

Re: your ideal gifts

This is my dilemma with the lyrics thing. Do I want to title my fic with lyrics from the rickroll song? Yes. Do I want to give away that I'm on coal? Not really.

Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]

use a (well-behaved) sock!

Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]

That was why I was pushing for slightly more plausible deniability than a Rickroll. But coal has spoken.

Using a one or two word title is probably still reasonably anon?

Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, Africa or the Baby Shark song are almost just as obvious

Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]

The be fair, baby shark is way more obvious, and when voting for songs I actually went and checked the lyrics for songs with reasonably versatile title options and rickroll genuinely isn't that bad. Except, you know, in combination.

DA I love that name and I just want to say that coal has been on point in coming up with challenge names this year. Great work team.

Re: your ideal gifts

[(Anonymous)]

+1 I love the challenges and this year has been awesome! Yay coal!
