Could very well kill Yuletide. The ship vs gen numbers are usually pretty split but you have to wonder how many were written by/for people who otherwise wouldn’t have signed up if gen was 100% guaranteed as opposed to a % probability based on your fandom makeup* and prompts.

* My fandoms have never had gen written for them in Yuletide and I never see requests for it…

I know that I wouldn't sign up if it was gen only. I accept the risk and actually like getting gen gifts, but I usually have a hard time writing it (reader brain vs writer brain shenanigans), so I'd end up passing on a gen-only exchange.

Yeah, one of my favorite things about yuletide is the roulette roll of whether I'm going to get gen or ship fic. I like both a lot! But I've never signed up for a gen-only exchange and I can't see that changing.

+1 I accept the risk, but in my heart of hearts, I want to read and write ship fic, so if I had no chance of receiving it or writing it, I would probably steer clear, as sad as I would be to leave yuletide.
