494. You should write 45 more words and so stream ahead of me.

Bad Yuletide fics

(Anonymous) 2024-11-05 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm morbidly curious. Link to the worst Yuletide fics of years past for examples of what NOT to do.

Well, I've seen a letter that lists four characters with a 'you can write any combination of these' caveat, but their request in the sign-up is only for two of these characters. I guess that's interesting in a way.

The one where half of the m/m pairing got hit by a bus.

The number of "random men" who would do that is effectively zero, which you know, because this is entirely about you being an anti-trans bigot. We've all seen through your clever disguise.

There's no disguise. There's just no difference between a man who identifies as a woman and any other man. They're the same. It's being male that means you shouldn't be competing in the female races. Your internal identification makes no difference.

I don't want to link it because as a fic it was actually pretty great for what it was, but don't write only two of the four requested characters, get rejected by the mods before reveals for doing so, and then gift that fic to your recipient with an author comment that's like 'lol rejected'.

Election

Did you vote in the election?

Re: Election

(Anonymous) 2024-11-05 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I voted in the most recent election, which was over a year ago.

Why don't you specify what country you're referring to? Are you perhaps a voter from Georgia (the country)?

There was one I saw that got stuck in moderation, the recipient got a EPH, but then eventually after reveals, it got revealed in the collection. It was in the main collection and just one short sentence.

Yuletide will be better once Trump is back in office.

New AO3 Terms of Service

(Anonymous) 2024-11-05 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
https://archiveofourown.org/admin_posts/30349

Featuring: restructure, clarified wording, Underage warning changed to Underage Sex, ruling out new warnings (ie no Racism warning).

What do you think? Have you given feedback already? Does the restructuring make sense to you?

Re: New AO3 Terms of Service

(Anonymous) 2024-11-05 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
The Underage change makes me think that lots of people were tagging things as Underage solely because they had child characters in them and the mods are annoyed, because otherwise I don't see the point. Unless they think readers are too stupid to see underage as a warning and jump from that to the sex?
