Don't Stop Coal Now!

[coalcube]

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real coal time
I feel alive
And the exchange I'll turn it inside out, yeah
I'm floating around in agony
So, (don't stop me now)
(Don't stop me)
'Cause I'm having a coal time, having a coal time~

Rec some more things that don’t show up in the fandoms list.

[(Anonymous)]

+1. I wish the wrangling was finished.

[(Anonymous)]

There's 20 unwrangled works in undisclosed fandom.

Do you mean not even tagged undisclosed fandom? How does one find those?

[(Anonymous)]

Options include a.) it's your gift, b.) you saw it recced by the person who received it. Or, I guess, c.) you wrote it and didn't want to tag it undisclosed fandom but did want to self-rec.

[(Anonymous)]

d) you found it via the tags

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sure there's a less stupidly complicated method than the one I used to hunt these down, but I *think* this list should be all the YT fics that have <10 hits, are in unwrangled fandoms, and are not tagged with "undisclosed fandom":

Summary:

“Throng? Status?” Vyper types into the chat bar. This is their first time teaming up to take on a raid and it’s not going as smoothly as he’d like. Daniel squads up with randoms all of the time, but he was more hopeful about this one than usual. He’s never seen moves as good as Vyper’s and there are some specific raids that Daniel has always wanted to try but never had enough good squaddies for.

Summary:

On some level, I hated myself. That was the real reason I cried: I was the puppet of liars who believed only in the money and acclaim they could wring out of me. They had the charwoman and the sleigh-driver bundled out, and I tried to sound as grand as possible when I called out, “Goodbye, Annouchka of Ekaterinberg!” for her sake.

Summary:

The Hotel had stood there for so long that no-one remembered its real name. Unofficially, it was known as the Honey Trap Hotel, because whatever purpose and clientele it had served in the past, its purpose now was as a place of judgement and consequence.

A place for mortals to be tempted, and often, to be found fatally wanting.

Summary:

Harper is beautiful and unafraid, and the weight of longing hits Austin with such force that he can't breathe. He doesn't even really know what he wants, not yet, except for Harper to continue to look at him like he already understands a version of Austin that Austin has never been, and he wants to deserve the way Harper looks at him. He wants to be something besides his father's blunt instrument.

Ooh ty. I just gave up trying to find anything that wasn't in the Undisclosed Fandom tag, but this is great.

Thank you for finding these!

Oof, and that paragraph formatting is unfortunate.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I thought about warning for that. I'd read it if the formatting were better, but alas.

[(Anonymous)]

To find the ones also in Undisclosed, I just went there and then filtered *out* everything else.

Unfortunately it breaks if you try that with the full collection, it errored after I filtered out 200+ fandoms.

[(Anonymous)]

Can't you just go to the Undisclosed tag? What am I missing?

[(Anonymous)]

That includes a bunch that have been wrangled since the collection opened. So you filter those out to get the leftovers.

It doesn't catch ones that weren't tagged undisclosed though.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, that's basically the method I used to get the list above. I filtered by hit count first, to narrow it down to just fics with less than 10 hits, and then filtered out every fandom that showed in the sidebar. The only complicated part was that I had to keep tacking "&work_search%5Bhits%5D=<10" onto the end of the page address every time I filtered out more fandoms, since the sidebar doesn't have an option to filter by hits.
