Re: what makes a good egg to you

What does "CCOF" stand for, please?

Re: what makes a good egg to you

[(Anonymous)]

Creator's choice of fandom

There's also CCOPRF which is creator's choice of previously requested fandom

the second one, ok, that's reasonable. the first one i will never get the point of. why would i ask for characters i care nothing about?

Trawling for dynamics that you like in your other fandoms (Creator's Choice of Grumpy/Sunshine, etc) to try to pick up new canons

You like every creator in a given exchange and would be happy to get into any of their ships

You like the theme of the exchange so much you don't care what characters you get your prisoners or underage or hurt/comfort or whatever for

Taking one for the team in Battleship or a landcomm or something similar

still, if i don't like the characters, i'm not reading it.

Ok then don't request it, those are just some reasons why other people do.

NYRT, it depends a lot on the theme of the exchange. Idk if you're aware of Bulletproof but it centers requesting tropes and encourages essentially fandom-blind prompt fills. Trawling through your recip's likes and giving them a fandom they've requested in the past is going the extra mile, but by no means expected from what I've picked up.

There are also many fandoms that are similar enough that they could be substituted for one another if a writer can write for one but not another, or at least they're similar where it counts (the recip's likes). I enjoy [obscure espionage canon] but I've read [blockbuster espionage canon] for some of the same trope beats and character archetypes when things were slow in the obscure fandom (which they always are). Receiving a gift in the latter rather than the former would probably still be fun, even if it didn't have my rarepair blorbos or whatever.

so atg then?

Re: what makes a good egg to you

In it mostly because you want an assignment, not super invested in your gift

It should really be CCoC - Creator's Choice of Canon. It's not a fandom unless the recipient has fannish feelings for the canon.

Re: what makes a good egg to you

It's a fandom on the creator's end, and since it's creator's choice...

Re: what makes a good egg to you

Why do only the recipient's feelings matter?

Also do I get to say, like, Supernatural isn't a fandom because I am not a fan?

Re: what makes a good egg to you

[(Anonymous)]

because it's, like, the recip's request or something? i dunno i'm not op.

anyway the recip might end up being a fan if they like the canon, but that's a crapshoot. personally i may try ccof one day if i can dnw fandoms i totally hate. i'd like some new fandoms.

and supernatural's more a dumpster fire than a fandom tbh.
