And another one!

[coalcube]

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"

They only want fluffy OOC AUs for dark canons, and their DNWs are often about main character traits.

Oh, apparently they also ask for canons they haven't watched yet, and they don't want spoilers:

I'd honestly read that

who cares about the fluffy AU requests, i’m reeling over no feminization kink for Eddie Gluskin/Waylon Park! like, even in the most fluffy non-violent AUs i’ve seen for that ship, that aspect still seems to be a, uh, pretty big draw

e.g., yuletide participants from previous years that comment really well and/or write really good fics for their recips and treats. I want to get an idea of who deserves a good treat this year!

If it helps I almost anonfailed because I like to live dangerously and coal while logged in

I wish they’d start the pinch hitters treat list earlier in the process. I’d love to write something for one or more of them but am all tapped out by the time the mods post anything.

Re: let's build a list of Good Eggs

This reminds me, are all the every year yuletiders still in it this year? Anyone still have that list?

Re: Pinch hits!

[(Anonymous)]

aside from whatever just happened here, this show sounds remarkably RTMI, so I'd like to think the impaired coalie who tried to start wank over it for bringing it to my attention

[(Anonymous)]

I always worry that I get too ooc when I want fluffier stuff for [PAIRING], but hey, at least i'm not doing this.

cjmarlowe, Daegaer, Franzeska, Joanne_c, Kass, Mosca, Nope, pollitt, sandyk, shrift, Tiriel, and twistedchick are all in the sign up list on the collection.

I'm sorry you've never been double assigned.

Anyone want to take bets on last pinch claimed? I feel like they're going slower than usual but maybe that's down to the ML problems.

I would have loved to be an IPH! The person who picks you up will choose to write for you, and your gift will be a surprise!
I only had offers for my bigger fandom, so 90% that's what I'll get. It's fine, of course, but I like surprises.

[(Anonymous)]

I know, right? I used to request fluff for a ship with a lot of dark stuff, but at least I didn't DNW "everything but my OOC version of the characters".

treating hard mode trophy to unlock: write a treat for all of the every-year yuletiders

[(Anonymous)]

Me too!

I knew that going in - I was the only offer in 4 of my 5 requested fandoms approaching deadline, so I did consider whether to remove the 5th and chose not to. But it does mean I am pretty much guaranteed fic in the fandom which already exists.

Shoes and cuddling could be non-smutty.

Re: let's build a list of Good Eggs

[(Anonymous)]

They don't because saying you are going to do that PH doesn't mean you hand it in.

Re: let's build a list of Good Eggs

[(Anonymous)]

Doh! That makes total sense.

Re: Pinch hits!

[(Anonymous)]

Overall I found it to be a bit of a mess but I did really like the concept and especially Shiv's whole deal.

I'm not going to gush more about an phoned in assignment that I don't actually like than a treat I love because it's clearly made for me and takes my likes into consideration. Nor vice versa. I comment with the enthusiasm and length the fic inspires in me and nothing more or less, just in case someone might start comparing comment word counts.

Also by the way people in most exchanges that aren't yuletide don't get randomly assigned to you because they spun the wheel and offered blindly. That assignment they are writing for is probably the one they wanted or one of several they felt comfortable writing. I'm not going to act like I'm such a burden on them, they chose me.

Yeah, I think the google groups issue is slowing everything down. :(
