And another one!

I see my nemesis getting a fic that I love
And I'm like, "Fuck you" 
I guess my 10k letter wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck morbane, too"
Said, "If I was a long commenter, they woulda gamed for me"
Ha, now ain't that some shit?
(Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still comment it's the best
And runs to coal to shout "Fuck you"

800 works, 600 fandoms, a little under 14 hours to deadline. There were 1389 signups, so plenty still outstanding at this point.

Re: Last-minute panic question

Why write anything at all? Why not just write the characters standing in an empty white box while reciting the events of canon? Perhaps have them sit in a chair if that's not too daring, after all the recip did not inficate an affirmative interest in chairs.

I want to format the recipient's name in the end note. How is that formatted with the nifty AO3 thing?

Why would you want to do that? You're already on AO3. You can just link to them, and also, their name appears at the top already?

(Anonymous) 2023-12-17 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh yeah, any time I see someone with the recip's name in the notes my only thought is how awkward it will be for the recip if they hate it and want to reject.

Join the server and click on someone with the mod role or the hippo role and ask them directly to help you.

Ignoring Unspecified Fandom (15), the top three fandoms right now are:

Star Trek: Lower Decks (Cartoon) (7)
Final Fantasy XVI (6)
One Piece (Live Action TV 2023) (5) = The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner (5)

Longfics

(Anonymous) 2023-12-17 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
So far we've got 32 fics over 10,000 words, 4 fics over 20,000 words, and only 2 fics longer than 30,000 words

I wonder how those numbers are gonna change as we get closer to deadline (and how many longfic treats we'll get before reveals next week)

Argh, my characters got too horny!

I wanted to have a solid sfw bus pass today and add the smut scene later. But my characters started making out and rubbing dicks and it just felt wrong to stop there. So I just had to keep going.
Now that they completed their business maybe they'll leave me alone. I need to write a short ending and polish this thing!

sounds like those dicks are already well polished :D? :D?

i read this as rubbing rubber dicks and lol'd

Can you send some of that over here? It's taken 6k of wacky comedy hijinks to finally get these two to the point of having to share a bed and they haven't even finished arguing about whether they're both getting in it yet.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-17 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
True that.

But it's better than calling them "recip" in the author's notes, which someone once did to me.

Personally, I don't use author's notes for anything other than thanking my betas and maybe clarifying a reference or two.

I misread this, and thought you said they were making out with rubber ducks and wondered if you had written literal Bert/Ernie!

Yeah, at least I don't have to worry about that. :D

Re: Treat divergence, where the line is for you

(Anonymous) 2023-12-17 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
The only time it was ever over the line for me was when I was given a treat in a fandom I didn't request. (No one requested it that year. I checked because I thought maybe they accidentally gave it to the wrong person.) It had one thing in common with one of my fandoms, and that was a pretty general thing. (It's not these things, but it was the same level of generality as both fandoms being set in the late 1800s, or both fandoms being set on space stations.) I did know the fandom, but the treat writer had no way of knowing that I did. I still wonder what possessed them to give it to me instead of any other person in the challenge.

It's opt-out, especially if the canon already has some.

Huh. I had that happen to me and it was fine?

(I also don't mind being addressed by my name. On the unlikely occasion that I reject, that'll be awkward for them, not for me.)
