My google-fu is failing me on finding a way for us to generated bingo cards from a common list unless we like, have a google doc and then copypasta...

I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but you can enter the list here and make cards.

Right! I was hoping that we could have a pre-populated one, since to use generators like the one you linked we'll need to just set up a common Google doc with the full list. Not the end of the world...

I mean we wouldn't need a Google doc, just someone to compile a comma-seoarated list in a comment.

Off brand low rent fake coadie here could hack a prepopulated one together in JavaScript but I don't have any hosting that wouldn't de-anon me and I'm not sure it's worth the trouble with all the others out there.

Request clearly asking for a different version of canon than the one that was nominated,
Request makes it obvious the requester is unfamiliar with/has completely misremembered what happens in canon,

Letter explicitly states that the requester wants one fandom more than the others,

Ranty judgemental DNWs going on about how disgusting it is anyone would write that,

"DNW: bad writing",

DW/LJ letter with "broken html" error,
"dead dove" or "kink" DNW,

DNW drabbles,
all requests are five-minute fandoms,
all requests are related to ineligible mega fandoms,
all requests are for either 10+ book series or 30+ episode shows,
fandoms aren't directly related but are all clearly on a theme,

TOO MANY GIFS,
Too many video embeds,
Letter contains convenient instructions on how to sail the high seas for canon,
Plurality of requests are for fandoms in relatively rare languages

You are a legend, coalie! TY!

First off, thank you so much coalie!
Second of all, "letter that directly references other fic they have received for the same prompt previously" - oh, wait, is the frowned upon? Obviously, *THIS* is the best fic in the fandom is ...a lot to deal with, but I've mentioned in passing that I've gotten previous fic I enjoyed in this fandom, particularly if I'm re-using a prompt/fandom, as a courtesy to my previous authors and because I *did* like those previous gifts. Is that something to remove?

NAYRT
Personally, I think notes like "I have gotten fic for this prompt before but I'm always open to more" are fine if you want to reassure people, directly linking or mentioning a specific fic kinda makes it seem like you're setting a standard of what you expect to get.

My absolute favourite is the person who wrote "to see examples of the kind of fic I like, check out *my* fic". I wish I was even half as confident as they are.

the above is not a list of bad stuff to put into the letter, I think you're overthinking it
