Look, I chose my fandoms carefully to all be ones I'd be thrilled to receive, it is true. But one of them is a fandom with zero fics. And I basically accept that I'm unlikely to get anything for that fandom. But if I did get for that fandom, I would be happier than for the other three, because I'd not only have fic but also one other person in the universe to be into it with me...

Anyway, aside from that:

Fandom one: give me whump, or a villain redemption arc, or bothhhhh, both is the best option.
Fandom two: I want casefic featuring fake dating with pining, and rivalry, and there was only one bed.
Fandom three: I want crossovers. Maybe I should make a post in 2f1 even though I want crossovers only for this fandom.
Fandom four: I know I wrote four almost completely mutually exclusive prompts. I know. I still somehow want all of them. All of them! In the same fic. With flashbacks or something? I don't know, I just want it to somehow happen
Fandom five: domestic fluff

Fandom three: I want crossovers. Maybe I should make a post in 2f1 even though I want crossovers only for this fandom.

Do it. You don't have to promote each of your fandoms equally in a mini-challenge.

Ohhh I wish there was a mini challenge post for requests for fandoms with no fics because I’d love to know what those are

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!

idk how to do that

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!!

Cyrt

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...

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?

/yulebegay

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?

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

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?

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

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

/lazy coalie

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?

I would love the latter!

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

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.

use a (well-behaved) sock!

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?

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

Same!
