How many of the "did every Yuletide" peeps are still in the list?

[(Anonymous)]

I was going to check for you but I can't find the list and I am too lazy to do the whole thing from scratch.

Can someone make a searchable spreadsheet from this?

[(Anonymous)]

Every year I search "yuletide" in Twitter to see if anyone is bitching on there instead of here and i wonder if duckgirlie was the anon from earlier complaining about their recipients other fandoms

I thought I vaguely remembered that person from previous wank. Turns out they were the unwilling recipient of that poetry a few Yuletides ago.

This person has done eighteen Yuletides? They sound like they're eighteen years old.

The recip: https://archiveofourown.org/users/lovelyflowersinherhair/works

On one hand - Fergie/Andrew shippers in 2022/3, how. I also pity duckgirlie's bad Yuletide luck. On the other hand, duckgirlie could have just simply or defaulted if they didn't want to deal with a recip who idolizes a rapist (who can blame them?) instead of making a big to-do. Since lovelyflowersinherhair didn't request Andrew as a character nor Sarah Ferguson as one, it's easy enough to write around their presence or just ignore the prompt entirely.

Also all of lovelyflowersinherhair's incomplete Glee stories seem to involve Finn and Santana, whose actors died tragically young and in accidental ways so uh. Making fun of them for that note and not the rapist-idolizing part of the equation is pretty low on the taste scale and doesn't make duckiegirlie look like a great person either.

"coal is just full of people who spend all their time on coal and can't imagine that there's people out there who just think it's funny"

She sounds very unbothered.

[(Anonymous)]

Really rich of them to bang on about how corgi RPF is embarrassing when they have a twitter full of kpop.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, in all this discussion of duckgirlie and how much they hated their recip, no one told me the fic they wrote was exactly 1000 words. I'd admire that if duckgirlie weren't so obviously an asshole.

[(Anonymous)]

Disjunction_Junction got an official warning in the Yuletide chat today for once again trying to start wank about their fic, lol.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't get what they were trying to do if their comments were positive. See if they could get away with leaving a mean comment on someone else's fic?

[(Anonymous)]

Who?

[(Anonymous)]

Author reveals have come and gone, and four authors didn't acknowledge me in their A/Ns despite incorporating my feedback.

/still salty

[(Anonymous)]

If you cared this much about this you should have told them at the time how you wanted to be credited.

is this the last stand of the yule goats butt

[(Anonymous)]

I wish AO3 had an API so I could crunch pointless stats.

[(Anonymous)]

Destination Toast posted links to scripts on GitHub for this sort of thing here: https://at.tumblr.com/destinationtoast/186404058719/w6j97pylpcal

Stats?

[(Anonymous)]

Anyone collecting stats for the collection this year? For example like these from 2020?

LOL and then I looked at the next thread up.

Lay your picks and scrapers down,
Catch the fading evenlight,
Butterflies rest in the fruit trees
as we sing to Ur, "good night."

Fireflies glimmer, glimmer 'round all
Shimla Mirch and back to you
Bearing sparks from all the wankers
Cosma, Tii and Friendly too.

To be woven in our dreaming
Good night Coaltide, good night.

Re: Rejected

[(Anonymous)]

For the second one, the recipient straight-up deleted their account - there's no request for Down With Love in Yuletide on AO3 any more.

[(Anonymous)]

Any idea what's up with this fic?

https://archiveofourown.org/works/43655173

Because that sure is a note lmfao.

happy holidays [recip]! this was meant to be your yuletide but it was rejected so i get to share it early. hope you enjoy it!

[(Anonymous)]

At a guess, it was probably rejected by the mods because it doesn't include all the requested characters and nothing in the recip's signup suggests they'd be okay with that.
