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"

I'm sorry someone did that to you, coalie :(

This is clearly the same person who wanted to write for Itylien just to spite the people who weren't all about having underage rape being Itylien's only prompt. Don't take them seriously.

I wouldn't swear "You got this, coalie" but it seems likely you have a better chance than you think you do.

Depending on how it's phrased some variations of "don't turn this man into a whoobie crying bottom".

You guys are so tired and boring, but also thank you for reminding me about that prompt.

Actually, Jam Watson, it was not the same person.

The worst thing about doing Yuletide canon review is that I inevitably become passionately invested in the squillion fic ideas and things I want to read for some barely-there fandom all evidence suggests exactly one (1) other person gives a shit about and even they only want one specific pairing rather than caring about any of my other faves.

As the spite coalie that started this sub-thread I'm pleased to see other coalies responding.

Can I prove I'm not a thousand Morbanes in a trench coat?

No. But still, I see you.

Re: the fic of your dreams

It's the wildest possible pipe dream, but one of my beloved childhood fandoms was nominated this year and the two characters in my bizarre crackship are nominated. I love their canon relationship and have no expectations that anyone will write them romantically, but I did mention that I ship them in my letter+details section just in case I was matched with someone else who is the same kind of weird (affectionate) as my teenage self.

I got matched with the fandom I was most hoping to write: lots of worldbuilding!

Re: the fic of your dreams

[(Anonymous)]

I hope you're the other person who requested the childhood fave I nommed for the first time, and you get the crackship you requested.

I'm actually the spite coalie who's reading old polish historical fiction and I'm also not 1000 Morbanes, probably.

Re: the fic of your dreams

[(Anonymous)]

I hope you're the other person who requested the childhood favorite I nominated, and you get the crackship you asked for!

Re: DNWs that make you want to write for a person

in this dystopia, the fic writes you

Honestly I am not gelling with the translation style of the free one in the link, I'm looking for another.

“I saw my life branching out before me like the green blorbo tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple blorbo, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One blorbo was a husband with a happy home and children, and another blorbo was a famous poet and another blorbo was a brilliant professor, and another blorbo was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another blorbo was Europe and Africa and South America, and another blorbo was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another blorbo was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these blorbos were many more blorbos I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this blorbo tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the blorbos I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the blorbos began to wrinkle and go skrunkly, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”
