Thanks for the new post, mod. Could we have a link to the promo post too please?

I don't think there's a fandom promo post for this year yet?

There is - it’s at [community profile] yuletide

Aahhhhhh! It’s officially Yuletide season. I am STOKED.

I’m burned out so I’m not as excited as usual, but when more excitement gathers, I’ll enjoy it vicariously.

i don't care if people want to do the recursive fanwork thing, but that feels like the kind of thing that should come from fans of the fic. nominating your own fic is weird.

I hate recursive, but don’t you need authors permission to nom? If so, the author nomming makes it cleaner.

this is how i find out that there's another 9-1-1 spinoff. do people watch these

I think the bigger problem is that someone on ffa also pointed out that it's a WIP that hasn't been updated since May. But you're right, it feels really weird, like something you'd see on Wattpad, given the way they're promoting it in the evidence post.

I sympathize with liking an obscure thing related to a mega popular thing but it still feels weird to have HP and Star Wars in the tagset

Recursive fanwork isn't a rare fandom.

They also say "some of the prompts we want to give" which makes it seem like they're going to request it themselves, not technically against the rules, but I don't think I have ever seen someone nominating and requesting fic for their own work before.

stuff you wish you could tell your author

although you can't irl

(Anonymous) 2025-09-14 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
i agree but i'm also not particularly bothered about the sanctity of yuletide or whatever with it being included. it's just embarrassing to try and get people to write fic of your fic if it doesn't already have the kind of fans that want to do that.

Why can’t you write me smut?

+1000

Listen up, ficcer.

This next challenge will prove if you can actually write to please a recip or if you're a fourth-rate rank amateur.

I want PORN, get it? No more of your G and T rated slop.

POOOOOOOORN!!! POOOOOOOOORN!!! FUCKING POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRNNNNN, you idiot!!!

how evil would it be to request a crack rarepair?

Well you can't request ships in Yuletide, so in that sense it's not really an option.

But there's nothing evil about requesting the two characters and putting prompts for shippy fic in the optional details.
