Pollute the Air

Did your favorite fandom get rejected because it was one fic over the limit?
Have you just fallen in love with a new fandom the day after nominations ended?
Or are you morbane?

Tell us all


Also:
In the last post the idea came up to create a community where you can post your most shameful yuletide requests anonymously. Check out [community profile] youwantwhat

Are there rules against underage characters in Yuletide? It'd be weird if they rejected that on grounds of decency and not the serial killers. I have to imagine it was a knee jerk rejection for being too close to SPN RPF rather than because they're kids.

SA

Especially since GISHWISHES (or however it's spelled...) is rejected too and it seems like the only characters in that were anthropomorphic...

There aren't, to my knowledge, not even for RPF. I'd be fine with both of those fandoms being wiped out, though.

Apparently they rejected GISHWHES too, so I guess there's just a Misha vendetta.

I feel ashamed to be participating in Yuletide given what I worry will become of the true crime category. Hopefully it'll be a very small number of people writing stories for each other than 99.99999% of us can just fucking ignore. Still, though. Jesus.

True crime could be a story about what really happened to D.B. Cooper or something, or some theory about Al Capone's private life I guess, and that type of thing wouldn't really bother me. But if someone lovingly writes shit about serial murderers, especially people like Harris and Klebold, I'm going to have public fits about how that should not be allowed into Yuletide, sorry. I feel like doing it now, but there are no names actually nominated, so who knows.

The mods already removed modern serial killers and renamed the category to (I think) Historical Crime RPF. I'm pretty sure your concerns have already been addressed.
