Re: Which fandom will get the most fics this year?

Ted Lasso.

It definitely won't be eligible next year. It won't just be because of Yuletide, though.

I've heard of this fandom but don't know much about it. How popular do you reckon it is already?

Well it's already at 866 on AO3 with the Yuletide filters applied, so...

And it has 45 requests so far!

I don't even like this series and this was the kind of edge case exceptions were always intended for

How is this relevant at all? If it was under when following the regular rules, it's not an edge case. If it's clearly over next year, it won't be an edge case. What do you think makes it an edge case?

The AYRT may be thinking of Locked Tomb, which was under when it was nominated but over when nominations closed.

This wasn't even its first year of elibility, which is one of the things people like to argue - "it was obvious* this would be a big fandom, even though it had only been out for a month at the time of Yuletide noms."

*not actually obvious

AYRT

You appear to hold the opinion that “barely over” does not make an edge case, and that the number cap is and should be completely inflexible. I disagree with this stance

From my POV, going from barely under to barely over during the nomination period or nomination review period *is* what makes it an edge case.

It’s not small compared to fandoms with 0 fics and no canonical tag, and it’s unlikely to jump from barely over to megafandom this yuletide. Letting the people who like it have *one* more yuletide harms no one.

(I was strongly against the decision to stop allowing fandoms in their first year regardless of size. I was also against the decision to stop allowing verifiably dead fandoms back into yuletide after a 10 year latency period, way back in the early 2010s.)

Coalie, we're talking about Ted Lasso, which is still well under. Parent up.
