Preference Rating Game

[(Anonymous)]

...has returned once again!

How to play:
1. Reply to this comment with a fandom that has more than one request. (Or a group of requests for different fandoms, organized around a shared theme.)
2. Coalies will look at all the requests/letters. You don't have to be in that fandom to play.
3. Sort them in sequential order from "would like to treat the most" to "would be least likely to treat".
4. Optional: say why you rated them where you did, aka "I like minimalist letters", "I don't write gen", "These prompts instantly inspired me", etc

People responding, feel free to narrow your criteria if there are a lot of requests for one fandom, so instead of doing ALL requests you could do all the f/f requests, or all for a single ship, or whatever.

Some threads from recent years, to get an idea of how this works:

DeCarabas
A_Dark_Elderberry_Place
Who_First
timegoesby
peternurphy

There's no obviously bad requests. DeCarabas has the most specific prompts, so they go first, then ADEP, then Who_First because I would write "still trapped in the police station", then timegoesby because Cosmic Bliss seems like a fun mythos spin, and then peternurphy last because that's pretty much "write whatever you want", which I could do based on their likes but never find all that interesting.

Six requests for Earthsea!

Re: Preference Rating Game Earthsea

Edonohana
Daegaer
Gammarad
oldernowiser
Un_finished
Rynling

I feel like I could write the same Tenar backstory fic and gift it to five of these six without complaint, so my ordering is somewhat arbitrary. Rynling goes last for a minor quibble: I would prefer it if this was a Tenar request, not an Any one

Gammarad: good prompts, I like that she outlines what parts of canon are most important. Have their general likes in a separate letter while the main letter is just a signup copy, not sure what I think of that.

oldernowiser: not much in the way of prompts but what they gave is very doable and the likes/DNWs are good.

Daegaer: good prompts, like that the DNWs are annotated for the fandom, could happily write this. Needs to fix their linebreaks.

Rynling: asked for any but didn't have much to say for most of the characters (this would be particularly bad if you'd only offered Dragonfly and didn't want to do worldbuilding) but the general prompts are general enough to be doable with any characters and it's believable they really do want Any.

Un_finished: not much there, but what's there is fine.

Edonohana: nothing but DNWs in the signup, gave me no motivation to click through to letter.

Interesting that other than the person who didn't bother with a signup at all, nobody who had a letter had any prompts in their letter that weren't in the signup. Is the age of letters full of extra prompts ending?

duckgirlie - better prompts in letter than signup
adspexi - straight forward backstory prompt, easy to fill
Anon451 - I'm not entirely sure what a "soft" ending is, but I would probably just write domestic bliss fluff and it seems like they'd be into that
nuandia - no specific prompts
reeby10 - no specific prompts, link to unfinished letter

misantlery - lots of prompts, seem to want Katralla fic but decent alternatives given
human_dreamer_etcetera - Katralla prompt elevates over plain write shipfic requests
HopefulNebula - I'd do an Aeryn character study from the POV of Pilot/Moya (or possibly the bioloid replica? hmm)
Casylum - I like "opposite day" as a prompt
chiuling - I could do the character study
LoveChilde - write anything prompts aren't all that fun for me
DWEmma - and this is basically write anything but shippy

PenguinZero
yasaman
thefourthvine
timkon
SapphoIsBurning
Tekhnetos
autumndynasty

These are all basically fine except for autumndynasty who has given literally nothing to work with. Nothing here particularly grabbed me, so they're otherwise ordered by how far I got through the requests on a second read through before going, "yeah, I could probably write that", which would likely change with every reading. /o\
