FUCK SHIT HELL DAMN FUCKITTY FUCK FUCK.

I am going to have to drop this fandom because it's one the racist asshole tends to request. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

[(Anonymous)]

If only there were a single, solitary, unique racist in Yuletide.

[(Anonymous)]

DC I assumed this referred to Gheyn.

[(Anonymous)]

Probably, but the point stands.

NC

I assumed Gheyn too. My sympathies, OP.

Other coalies are right that Gheyn's not the only racist in YT, however. Just the currently wankiest.

[(Anonymous)]

This is a situation where I don't think anyone would blame you for

-getting Gheyn as your recipient
-immediately picking someone else to write a treat for
-holding on to your assignment until deadline & auto-defaulting
-posting your treat to ensure you can sign up next year

Ugh, my apologies. Which fandom, for those who are now paranoid about this very possibility?

[(Anonymous)]

So if you happen to get assigned, write 1000 words of nothing actually happens crap, orphan, then go write treats. I don't see the problem with offering. Requesting is a different matter.

[(Anonymous)]

There's always ChatGPT.

[(Anonymous)]

For those with no remaining pride.

[(Anonymous)]

I had to look what this was in response to, and now I’m wishing ChatGPT could write a decent letter for me because I absolutely loathe doing it but it’s so integral to getting treats or even just signup offers in your fandoms. But my brain treats it like a job application cover letter and runs the other way.

[(Anonymous)]

For what it's worth, letters are optional! If you just want to stick with the DNWs in your sign-up, then that's perfectly fine. But if you really want a letter, you could just list some tropes/kinks/things you like for your fandoms.

[(Anonymous)]

cyrt

I know, but since I rely heavily on other people’s letters both in writing my fic and deciding what to offer, it would be hypocritical of me not to try to write one myself.

[(Anonymous)]

Even then, there are plenty of letters every year in the app/spreadsheet that are just a copy+paste of the signup. As long as your signup covers what it needs to, you really don't need to do anything more.
