Re: Preference rating game! Queen’s Gambit

[(Anonymous)]

Reviewer coalie coming in for another one. Same as other reviews, I don't read letters and I have no idea what this canon is.

AngstBlanket: I AM CONFUSED. This person requests Beth but the ODs be like "I have provided prompts for the backstories of Alma, Annette Parker, and Beth's bio mom" and says if you want to write those people and ignore Beth, go ahead. UHHHHH. AND matching strikes oddly again. Is this game about che-- OH, queen's gambit, I get it.

(Yes, coal, I do live under a rock. Find me in historical fandoms, because I got nothing on these modern ones.)

OPTING INTO IF!!! Go, interactive chess coalies, go treat!

Arsenic: List of likes and DNWs front and centre, and a request for a sensitivity reader or to avoid BDSM or Judaism. The recent wank on sens readers and $$ aside, I think that's fine. Just don't write it, yo. No letter, and they just want more Jolene. Fair cop; I wouldn't know what to do with it as a writer who needs prompts though.

blossominribcage: Not the best way to have a single-line OD re: having read the book put you off the idea of Beth/Jolene, alas for the TV people. Still, that's valid! Maybe the letter is more enticing.

brella: No ODs, thank god for my fingers. HOW AM I ONLY ON THE Bs???

elegantstupidity: everyone loves Beth, huh? Here's someone else who wants just her if you want to write for them. But you knew that, if you were in Queen's Gambit fandom. I truly am adding no value here.

etoilecourageuse: No ODs

heyoh: There's a whole genre of "I don't care, I just want more of ___" that is the standard cafeteria meal of Yuletide requests. It's not a bad thing, just, help a writer out here! Maybe the letter has more.

mustlovemustypages: Ooh, a long OD section. It sells me on this series having character exploration! And tells me what this person likes. And bulleted prompts! Hallelujah. AND a letter. Nice.

paperclipbitch: No ODs, thank you thank you.

pendrecarc: Nice chunky OD section again, with prompts both general and specific! Worldbuilding-y context too! COLD WAR CHESS, who doesn't love it. Appreciate the specifications on infidelity too.

thisismetrying: Suddenly we have all these ODs! Everyone loves Beth again, and here's a Beth/Benny shipper for anyone who wants them, but also with a Beth-only out. Lots of bulleted prompts! Brings this one to the top of a canon blind read.

Chess coalies, you've got a lot to mine here. Man, if someone does an IF fic of a chess game with additional text for this fandom that'd be cool, huh?
