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~

Re: Who Got Coal

[(Anonymous)]

I have a history of asking for slash or femslash in fandoms that usually skew het, and I always have this problem.

Three times I've gotten friendship fic for my requested pairing, with the main pairing in the story being a het pairing that sinks my ship. So not only are my requests characters not a pairing, they're not even the focus of the fic.

This kind of thing is why a lot of people DNW unrequested pairings for their requested characters. You can't DNW gen, but you can DNW your requested characters being in relationships that aren't the one you want.

I'm guessing your requests look something like this? And it might be a case of "you can't fix stupid"/"bad actors gonna bad act"?

Request: Betty, Caroline; Betty/Caroline. I also ship Adam/Dan

DNW: Adam/Betty, Caroline/Dan, Betty/Dan, Adam/Caroline. Betty or Caroline in any het ship.

Anyway, I hope we match in an exchange sometime; I would write you the femslash and slash you actually asked for

Yes this is exactly what my sign-up looks like. Thank you for hypothetically writing me the pairings of my dreams in the future!
