i think it means a) the original ship is m/m and b) some ppl get precious about "if we ban this one thing, where will the bans ever stop"?

Hate to tell you, coalie, but your Yuletide fic isn't Oscar bait prestige cinema.

I'm not offering any fandom where not every single request has an accessible letter during sign-up's.

Wow. I don't have enough fandoms to get away with that - of all the fandoms I bookmarked on the app (nearly 100), only 2 have letters for all of their requests.
zero things I offered had any letters at all

Guess that Jojo Rabbit imaginary unicorn noncons Hitler idea is off the table.
Same! I'm a minimalist offerer and just choose the things I'm most interested in writing and where I know I could come up with a fun idea even if nobody prompts anything at all. I occasionally add an offer on the strength of a fun prompt in a letter and seeing requests has in the past made me offer characters I wouldn't have otherwise, but for the most part, they don't play a huge role in my decision making.
I got a letter in my assignment but it appears to either not be working (or they have not put any information in their letter). Should I ask the mods to tell the recipient? Do I wait a week or two?
Re: How long to email mods about letter link not working
(Anonymous) 2024-10-21 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)"Please don't ask us to poke your recipient to update a locked or placeholder letter until at least October 25."
Just until Friday, then bother away.

I mean, it's enough when it's just one fandom (and that letter / those letters appeal to you).

There's no way I could ever do that. I had one visible letter total across all my fandoms during signups.
How do you know the mods haven't banned them? It looks like the last Yuletide they participated in was 2018.
Was it ever even confirmed (real confirmed, not coal confirmed) that the sock and FakeCirilla are the same person?
+1 There's a lot of fandoms I could write in theory given the right prompts, but I'm not confident enough to throw myself at the mercy of writing for someone that really wants some niche aspect of the canon I have no clue how to write unlike my rock solid fandoms that I know I could write virtually anything for.
If you have 100 fandoms bookmarked, it's crazy that you also comment "I don't have enough fandoms" for anything.
Where are you expecting confirmation to be published?
I'll play, but I agree with other coalie that it'll work very well when the requests go live.
Any other unusual offer strategies?
When I see people talking about offering freely vs only offering for requests with letters, I can't relate because all of my offers are for canons that have come up as lingering pinch hits over the years, and I slooooooowly consume them. I know what I'm getting. I'm getting a request someone has made the same way 5 times already where they are the only requester, ever.

What do you meant by unusual?
I often offer only a limited number of characters, and I feel like that's extremely common but coal doesn't really talk about their character-offering strategies much. I tend to do it mostly to try to limit what parts of canon I might be asked to write - if A is the main character, C & D are the sidekicks in the first book and E & F are the sidekicks in the second book, I'll offer just C & D so there's not much chance I'll be matched on someone who wants something related to the second book, even if I'm happy to write basically anyone in book 1.
I don't know if it works though, I think the main thing it does is keep me from matching on those fandoms at all.

I only offer fandoms and character combinations I'm completely confident I can handle any type of request* for, so I rarely have much picking and choosing to even do, because it's a good year when I actually have more than four to choose between where I'm either recently brushed-up on canon or already know it backwards and also that confident about making a blind offer for anything requesters might throw at me.
(*Within reason. I'm gonna be prepped for, say, writing anywhere on the fluffy comedy to angsty drama to darkfic torturefest spectrum, any setting pre/post/during canon, and also be equally happy to write gen or the nominated characters shipped in any permutation. If they have their hearts set on a superhero high school chatfic soulmates AU where they're all llamas and DNW important parts of the canon relationship and characterisation I might admittedly have more trouble.)
