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"

Placeholder letters

[(Anonymous)]

It's placeholder poking day! Who's still waiting on a placeholder or locked letter? Are you going to bother going through the mods, or just embrace the freedom to write whatever? Or are you the one who has still not yet got around to updating your own placeholder?

(I've been haunting one, but only for a potential treat I'm not super likely to write, so I'm hoping the actual assigned writer does the poking for me.)

Re: Placeholder letters

[(Anonymous)]

I am waiting on a placeholder but am probably just going to write whatever. Or procrastinate by writing non-Yuletide fic and hope against hope they get around to it. Possibly both.

Serial non-commenters

[(Anonymous)]

How do you figure out who is a serial non-commenter?

Re: Serial non-commenters

[(Anonymous)]

Go to their Gifts page. Open the comments to their gifts. Have they commented on their last five to ten gifts? Did they receive gifts they didn't comment on even before they signed up for other exchanges where they got more gifts they also didn't comment on?

Is anyone doing it? Reveals are in ~2 days and 18 hours.

Re: Trick or Treat

[(Anonymous)]

I still need to clean up my fics a bit so hopefully I've got time!

[(Anonymous)]

I actually have something like an idea for my assignment!

[(Anonymous)]

But have you written anything yet?

Defaulting

[(Anonymous)]

Has anyone else defaulted already? I realized try as I might, I'm not going to be able to write a satisfying story for my recip so even though it's early days I'm out.

I think exchanges are beyond me these days for whatever reason but I'll enjoy reading what everyone else writes and hope I might be able to at least offer a treat or two at some point.

Re: Defaulting

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't done anything other than treat for years. I'd rather give a gift than get one anyway, so it's a winning strategy for me. No pressure, and if it just doesn't work out, no one is disappointed other than me.

[(Anonymous)]

Almost spat out my drink when I opened the requests for Mr Bean. Well, one of them.

/not judging at all, just taken by surprise!

[(Anonymous)]

I gotta say, I've never once thought of Mr Bean in a sexual context, teddy humping toilet wank or otherwise.

[(Anonymous)]

anyone defaulted on my butt yet

[(Anonymous)]

i've defaulted all over your butt if you know what i mean and why would you, that's a meaningless phrase that makes no sense, what is even happening here

[(Anonymous)]

DAMN IT BRAIN WHY CAN'T I JUST WRRRRRIIIIIITTTTTTEEEEEE

Looking for some things to treat

[(Anonymous)]

Could anyone please rec some 5-minute fandoms or other short canons with f/f potential, or something focusing on animal characters or other non-human characters?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Looking for some things to treat

[(Anonymous)]

These aren't recs so much as just some things I have happened to notice while looking through requests myself:

https://bring-me-sugar.dreamwidth.org/19716.html
The Head and Shoulders commercial has f/f potential

https://tagset2023.fandom.tools/#/fandom/2742
The requester for Clue (the game, not the movie) is asking for Any and requesting lesbians

https://rhovanel.dreamwidth.org/3094.html
I think you could easily work the "Best Actress Academy Award Nominees" request into f/f

https://tagset2023.fandom.tools/#/fandom/2542
There's some room for Taylor Swift/Taylor Swift in BlueFloyd's Anti_hero prompt

https://tagset2023.fandom.tools/#/fandom/2555
lol Morbane, but I'm sure you could work in a fictionalised version of Stevie Nicks/Christine McVie to this prompt for Fleetwood Mac's the Chain

i wanna read fart fucking

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]

the mods butt

[(Anonymous)]

Fun fact: I write fic because I'm complete and utter shite at doing art.

[(Anonymous)]

what's fun about that

go write your assignment, dumbass

How are things going so far?

[(Anonymous)]

Canon reviewing? Started brainstorming? Waiting a bit to jump into it? Where are people at?

Re: How are things going so far?

[(Anonymous)]

Canon reviewing, definitely, and falling in love with the canon all over again! I just hope I can do my recipient's requests justice!

Shit

[(Anonymous)]

Shit everywhere. Shit up the river, where it flows among green aits and meadows; shit down the river, where it rolls defiled among the tiers of shipping and the waterside pollutions of a great (and dirty) city. Shit on the Essex marshes, shit on the Kentish heights. Shit creeping into the cabooses of collier-brigs; shit lying out on the yards and hovering in the rigging of great ships; shit drooping on the gunwales of barges and small boats. Shit in the eyes and throats of ancient Greenwich pensioners, wheezing by the firesides of their wards; shit in the stem and bowl of the afternoon pipe of the wrathful skipper, down in his close cabin; shit cruelly pinching the toes and fingers of his shivering little ‘prentice boy on deck. Chance people on the bridges peeping over the parapets into a nether sky of shit, with shit all round them, as if they were up in a balloon and hanging in the misty clouds.

Butts looming through the shit in divers places in the streets, much as the sun may, from the spongey fields, be seen to loom by husbandman and ploughboy. Most of the shops lighted two hours before their time—as the gas seems to know, for it has a haggard and unwilling look.

The raw shit is rawest, and the dense shit is densest, and the shitty streets are shittiest near that leaden-headed old obstruction, appropriate ornament for the threshold of a leaden-headed old corporation, Temple Bar. And hard by Temple Bar, in Lincoln’s Inn Hall, at the very heart of the shit, sits the Lord High Chancellor in his High Court of Chancery.

Never can there come shit too thick, never can there come piss and shit too deep, to assort with the groping and floundering condition which this High Court of Chancery, most pestilent of hoary sinners, holds this day in the sight of heaven and earth.

On such an afternoon, if ever, the Lord High Chancellor ought to be sitting here—as here he is—with a shitty glory round his head, softly fenced in with crimson cloth and curtains, addressed by a large advocate with great whiskers, a little voice, and an interminable brief, and outwardly directing his contemplation to the lantern in the roof, where he can see nothing but shit.

We'd have to actually have more topics to digest for that to be true.

Prompts you wish someone else would write

[(Anonymous)]

Post any prompt you've found that you think would be fucking amazing... if someone else wrote it.

Favorite book with a hard to write narrative voice, a historical drama with way too much research needed, that one recipients' prompt that's amazing, your own request subtly hidden, or just a loved fandom that never gets stories. I'd love to hear about it.

Obscure requests, tempting prompts

[(Anonymous)]

Have you perhaps seen some fandoms you don't know, but the prompts are maybe tempting you to pick up the canon?

Re: Obscure requests, tempting prompts

[(Anonymous)]

no because I don't look at prompts for fandoms I don't know

Your dream prompt for treating

[(Anonymous)]

What kind of prompt would make you immediately think "I have to treat this?" Is there anything like that or close to it you've seen?

Re: Your dream prompt for treating

[(Anonymous)]

There's nothing that would ever make me want to write extra.

Looking for treats that...

[(Anonymous)]

Requests here for any help finding fandoms/prompts to treat

Re: Looking for treats that...

[(Anonymous)]

I'm looking for people who want epistolary or other outside media POV fic for canons that are (relatively) easy to review. Ideally no longer of a time commitment to review canon than a two book series. If anyone has seen a prompt or general like that fits this, would love to know about it!

[(Anonymous)]

trick or trat was such a fucking disappointing exchange, such bad fic, all fucking crap and fucking shit.

[(Anonymous)]

What an embarrassing post. You could at least link the badfic you're so mad about.
