I wasn't going to join the conversation because I didn't want to try to write all this out, but yes, exactly.

Sorry, can someone help me out with the ficinabox minimum wordcount rules? I see some of the requests have a lower minimum than 10k, like 500, but does that just mean any of the component stories that make up the 10k can go that low?

There were other things in their requests that I thought were worse, honestly.

Talk about Yuletide then. At least this relates to exchanges.

Canon/Letter recs for the thing you want to write

(Anonymous) 2024-10-27 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Name something you want to write (like a canon, character type, type of relationship, a trope, e.g. F/F noncon), get letter recs or canon recs

(Anonymous) 2024-10-27 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
writing is pain

FF with WOC! Preferably in a canon I know or can pick up in a couple weeks.

Maybe a 5 minute fandom - 6k words, sci-fi short story Calf Cleaving in the Benthic Black by Isabel J. Kim - https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/kim_11_22/

It's definitely FF (the protagonist & her girlfriend), but while the author has written Korean-American protagonists in her other stories, I don't remember if this one is explicitly about WOC or just non-specified.

nvm i just realised it has zero requests. I think there was one but it looks like it disappeared. Sorry!

Come the fuck on. We recently had a whole thing establishing about how it's perfectly fine to be KINKTOMATO about, say, RPF, and still find that some things cross a line.

This is also a line that is being crossed.

I have a similar issue with a lot of stuff in the no-kink-shaming 18+ fandom circles TBH. I have a really vivid imagination, and I don't care what people read or write for fun but in spaces shared by people who haven't already opted into that kind of content (such as an exchange name that's liable to pop up in the PH channel or whatever), I wish things were less graphic.

+ 100

It's fine to be personally squicked, but to make a moral judgement out of it is anti behavior.

DC

That feels like a straightforward reading because similar spins on 'marathon' exist elsewhere - e.g. hackathons.

I guess you could make the case that this is also graphic, but I always read it more in terms of the event itself rather than describing scenes written for the event.

Y'all, ”ficathon" has been a common term for exchanges since before yuletide existed, this does not require a deep investigation
