Hard to say. It's always something that comes out of nowhere, like a clear DNW violation or someone writing something that makes you go, wtf.

If I had to guess a fandom, I feel Murderbot is a good contender, though, because so many of those sign-ups are already simmering with potential. You've got blank ones/placeholders, ones that have DNW lists that feel like that fandom's greatest hits of wank, at least two sign-ups that put the majority of their DNWs in their letters, and the very real possibility that more than a few recipients are hoping to get book canon rather than the show. And if someone writes any kind of smut...

Unpopular opinion but I feel like adaptations that don't really vary from the source at all shouldn't be allowed as "small" fandoms. Murderbot had its day in the Yuletide sun, and now the migratory writers have shown up, let them write fic for the gen pop.

Is this a prediction or do you just want to start the wank now?

I don't know what a migratory writer is, but I do know migration takes a ton of energy, so I'm happy to let them recover and nourish themselves in Murderbot (tv) before they write off to their final winter destination.
