Yuletide Discord for Hippos & Exchanges After Dark Discords for Namespace
in the big fandom instead of either of the tiny fandoms, but i figured that would happen and am excited to get something that's not usual in the big fandom!
I got one once. I was over 1000 words but not like... at a finished story and they gave me 48 hours to finish.
True, but I’m going to assume it’s competently written, in which case people pretty much always prefer the more upbeat/fluffy/happy ending fic. Two cakes! I think my recipient will like mine based on what they asked for! I just really didn’t expect there to be another fic in the fandom, so I’m feeling like a cat seeing itself in the mirror haha.
CYRT
I imagine you're right, but personally I love tragedy and angst :) We're out there! Hopefully your fic will get some love anyway.

I'm just happy to receive anything, because my assignment was dreadful and I started on multiple fics and couldn't get any of them to work, so I ended up defaulting.
Anyone currently working on a pinch hit or a treat, or trying to finish the extended director's cut of their fic to replace the abridged version they posted at deadline? How's it going?
I picked up this pinch hit and am now regretting my life choices entire plot premise I came up with. But it's definitely too late to start over, so I hope the recipient doesn't mind that this is, on reflection, a pretty dumb idea to base a whole story around.
I'm going to be writing treats for as close to the deadline as I possibly can! I have one half-done, and we'll see how things go after I wrap it up.
I have one more treat in progress. Possible these scenes will just be very different lengths, and...that's probably fine.
I have one fic that's almost finished (probably 300 words more) and another fic which is at the beginning of its penultimate scene. I hope to finish these.
I also have two fics which I started and got about 300-500 words in, which I doubt I will finish unless inspiration strikes, as I think I'd need to restructure my idea.
I also have a tiny ficlet I started as a Madness treat, which I hope to make something of as I had a thought based on something that two characters have in common, but I'm not sure how well it will turn out.

It's my first time also, and I'm really wondering how this will turn out.
Aw, what makes you think it's a dumb idea, coalie?
I mean, to be fair, it's for a comedy canon, so having the characters all running round chasing their tails over something very silly and pointless is not in itself a major problem, I'm just looking back over my setup and going, "Hmm, on reflection, this kind of requires them to be extraordinarily dense about basic facts even by their standards." XD
I thought I was done with everything yesterday. Then, another idea hit while I was looking at the app, so now I’m back at a blank screen trying to see if I can turn a vague story concept into a worthwhile treat in less than a week.
We have no way of knowing. It's for Yuletide, which hasn't revealed yet.
Working on a porny treat to go along with the plotty fic I wrote my recip. I'm not sure I'll get it done in time, because I'm pretty busy over the next week and I am not a fast porn writer, but I'm hopeful.
Nope. People who default after the default deadline are assholes who deserve to go giftless.
That simply isn't true. I don't *mind* if defaulters go giftless, because that's a sensible, sustainable system, but it isn't a punishment.
One, it just isn't that big a deal to default on a gift exchange. I can think of some circumstances when it's less ideal than others, but when all you know is "they defaulted", it's morally neutral.
Two, have a little imagination and empathy. Someone whose coworkers all called in sick the week before Christmas isn't an asshole. Someone who had inspiration and then had a mental health slump isn't an asshole. Someone with a glorious, ambitious idea that turns out to be way more than they can chew isn't an asshole for realizing this very late in the process.

Pinch Hits #207-209 - https://yuletide-pinch-hits.dreamwidth.org/7875.html
Hours staring at this pinch hit vainly trying to figure out the plot device needed to make this ending work, and I finally get an idea 15 minutes after I really should have gone to bed. Well, at least I should hopefully be able to finish this off tomorrow...
Awww that is wonderful. I'm so happy that you got that!
I know how that feels, but tags only tell you so much. I'm rooting for your fic!
I cannot remember and it is pertinent to my gift shaking -- does a fandom and pairing not need to be tagged properly (yet) as long as a gift is posted?
