Predictions for the future of Yuletide

(Anonymous) 2021-11-05 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
What do you predict will happen in future yuletides? Will ship matching be allowed? Will the mods ever actually ban someone?

Ship matching may eventually be allowed. As for banning someone, unless we get another obvious sock drawer, sadly nope.

Within the next two decades, someone will post a yuletide fic... from space!!

A story written by a sapient chimpanzee will win Yuletide.

The Madness collection will go away. Only NYR and main collection.

Oh God please yes

Ship matching will never be allowed. I'm quite confident the mods have already banned people.

I don't know about ship matching. I think I'm the mods are aware that it would be a controversial decision, and the current mods probably wouldn't make it. In the long-term future, though... maybe.

Any bans that happen or have happened are probably kept quiet so we wouldn't hear about them.

I do believe that they will eventually change the way they approach what fandoms are allowed. Counting Fanfiction.net and AO3 isn't for long, I think.

FF is going under in the near future methinks

Oh God the wank when Ao3 inevitably opendoorses FFN.

I shudder to think.

Oh man, this is glorious. Preparing the popcorn.

I keep hearing of the near demise of FFN and yet FFN is still going well.

Re: Predictions for the future of Yuletide

(Anonymous) 2021-12-25 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
here's to ffnet outliving ao3

mostly joking I hope for both sites to last a long time yet

There are good things about FFN!

I want to like ffn but the last time I went to read there the inline text ads made it literally impossible to get through a story. :{

Honestly I would be less surprised to see AO3 implode one day from a catastrophic accidental fuckup than FF.net go down permanently. But I'm not exactly staying up at night worrying about either happening any time soon.

I think requests being visible during signups could happen. I don't see ship matching ever happening, though.

- Ship matching will eventually happen
- FF.Net won't be counted after a while, but I don't know what could take its place
- Nobody will be banned, ever
- Madness will wither away and eventually be gone
- Requests will be visible during signups very soon

ship matching would only ever potentially happen if the AO3 tag set interface got a massive overhaul, and nominations became massively easier to process. the idea is definitely a non-starter for yuletide with current archive functionality.
