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"

1716 works now

Gen (740)
M/M (491)
F/M (390)
F/F (189)
Multi (82)
Other (43)

What do people think of the distribution?

Is Yuletide the only exchange where Gen regularly outnumbers M/M?

Nope, fic in a box had more Gen this year too.

"regularly"

Not the only one, but character-based vs relationship-based matching probably helps skew it further towards gen than many other exchanges.

I think it's great. Big fan of the huge amount of gen to read. It's the reason I always try to participate in Yuletide.

Yeah as someone who primarily writes/requests gen, Yuletide and FiaB are my two big exchanges (idk what other very gen-friendly exchanges exist, I guess worldbuildingex? Multifandomdoodle is gen OW heavy. Jukebox? Not sure about jukebox.)

+1 :(

+2 but that's any fandom that's not specifically femslash centric so I'm used to it by now

And how many of those are 75% basically gen, then one kiss, then vague flowery nothings, then ooh they're a couple but with no real physical stuff.
