This or That: Coal

[(Anonymous)]

Early but I’m bored
The "Which yuletide-ruining content would you rather receive game?

Re: This or That: Coal

Unrequested supernatural crossover or unrequested MCU crossover?

Re: This or That: Coal

[(Anonymous)]

MCU. I actually like MCU, but I am one of the few people on the planet who doesn't ship Destiel, so the SPN one has a higher chance of me hating it.

Re: This or That: Coal

MCU. I've never seen an episode of SPN, so at least I'd have more chance of understanding.

Re: This or That: Coal

MCU. I'm familiar enough, and I wouldn't really mind an "also, superheroes now exist in this universe" AU.

Re: This or That: Coal

I'd rather receive an unrequested mcu crossover, but I'd also rather receive an unrequested Supernatural fusion

Re: This or That: Coal

SPN. I've been in both fandoms, but SPN is a much better tonal fit with my requests than the MCU is. Also, I mind the SPN juggernaut ships much less than the MCU juggernauts.

Re: This or That: Coal

I never watched SPN, but I'm a big Marvel fan and MCU fic is what I primarily read outside of exchanges these days, so I'd probably enjoy an unrequested MCU crossover!

Re: This or That: Coal

Supernatural. MCU annoys me more.

Re: This or That: Coal

SPN. Supernatural is less likely to completely screw up the crossover, since it's closer to RL (and has built-in cracky crossover mechanisms for non-RL stuff.) Whereas MCU crossovers are more likely to just be clunky and bad. Also I have strong opinions about MCU, I do not about SPN.

If it's early seasons, SPN. If it isn't, MCU.

Someone writes your most beloved prompt in the exact opposite way you intended/missing everything that made you prompt it or Someone ignoring everything in your letter to write a prompt from someone with the exact opposite id and headcanons to yours?

Re: This or That: Coal

[(Anonymous)]

unrequested kink it turns out you didn't realize you needed to DNW

or

absolute botchery of your favorite kink written in a way that makes you think the author will probably DNW it in the future

Re: This or That: Coal

[(Anonymous)]

1500 words that hit all your likes and fill your favorite prompt but are completely lifeless and read like the writer was just going through the motions

or

15000 words of a fic you would have loved wholeheartedly if you'd just stumbled on it at random but the writer went totally ODAO and didn't include anything from your prompts or letter

Re: This or That: Coal

[(Anonymous)]

Kittyfic or untherius fic

Re: This or That: Coal

Unrequested ship bashing or unrequested character bashing?

Re: This or That: Coal

Unrequested het or unrequested slash?

Re: This or That: Coal

[(Anonymous)]

Wanky author note talking about how great they are for picking you up as an EPH or post-YT post talking about how hard your prompts were to write

Re: This or That: Coal

Deja coal, why c/p the this or that's from last year's thread? Are we that hard up for comments here? https://coaltide.dreamwidth.org/3362.html?thread=7390754#cmt7390754

Re: This or That: Coal

5k of great IC porn about your OTP with one or more of your favorite kinks

OR

5k of plotty canon-typical adventure, canon divergence, or fix-it, with themes that tie into your fave character's character arc

Yes I know this is the bad-things thread, but best case scenarios are more fun for me to think about.

Re: This or That: Coal

Unrequested cancerfic or unrequested covidfic?

Re: This or That: Coal

[(Anonymous)]

Unrequested breakup fic of your ship or gen fic that subtly bashes your ship

Re: This or That: Coal

Unrequested and non canon main character death fic or unrequested “x secretly lives” fic

Re: This or That: Coal

Would you rather be an EPH or have to get a pinch hit of the apocalypse
