Okay, this wins my vote for "you've got to be fucking kidding me" as a fandom.

Wow, there are many strong contenders for "you've got to be fucking kidding me" this year, but I think this wins my vote too. Is this a troll to push at the mod's boundaries of Yuletide nominations? What would one even prompt for this?

CYRT

I'm leaning towards troll now that I see the empty DW account used to nominate it was created the same day, 9/25.

Fandom: CaitVi Kinktober 2025 Rules

Possible issue with the fandom: This is an ephemeral social media discourse technically centered on Arcane and has been mostly treated as a tag on AO3, rather than a whole fandom.

Why this fandom should be considered eligible: The fanworks responding to/centering the rules stipulated by the prompt list have little to do with Arcane as a fandom, and many of them actually don't use the Arcane fandom at all. Instead, the core subject is the prompt list itself treated satirically.

CaitVi Kinktober 2025 Rules is being rejected.

Thank you! Unfortunately, we are not willing to approve this. Although Yuletide is open to some ephemeral and unusual fandoms, we're not sure the source canon here provides a sufficient basis for a shared understanding between potential requesters and writers of exactly what sort of response they're looking for. We also place high scrutiny on fandoms that depend on knowledge of fandom wank - as fandom wank itself is not a subject we'd prefer to treat as a canon. We hope there are other things you enjoy in the tag set.
