Give us a vague idea and we can help you with prompts here!

What if B is the one who gets hurt and A realizes they care enough to help them? You could even have A dealing with withdrawal at the same time for some mutual h/c.

A&B are Victorians and have a parent-child dynamic. I need to injure or distress the younger character and write some good old h/c. Problem is, that's a bit too broad for me. Any ideas?

:D It definitely was a feature! It's possible that in last year's app you just missed the "get prompts" button if you were just quickly scanning the letters column.

A request where the person added “no slash” to their DNWs but then asked for a canon where there is a canon slash pairing in it.

No modding. We've managed fine for years without modding.

Got details for me? I'm just getting off work but if you give me your browser details and it's still happening I can investigate. Looks fine on my phone but I'm a bit dead from the gym...

Maybe try checking out the community challenge spreadsheet? I found it overwhelming at first, but there's a ton of great one-off nominated tags in there that might inspire you. Also, posting a fic with those tags would be working towards the community challenge, if you find that motivating.

CYRT ahh that's a great idea! Thanks coalie :)

I don't know her fandoms this year, but she's a great recip.

Coalies need to learn not to engage. If someone says something wanky and non-yuletide related, just ignore. Wankers will give up if they don't get a rise out of people.

If the choice is between putting up with pages and pages of transwank or a few threads getting frozen, I'll take the freezing. If unmodded is the choice, I'll just GTFO like I did last year.

omg 😂 what a legend!

+1

I don't have a very large pool to choose from these days.

1 If I know the fandom and wrote in it before

2 If I know the fandom and want to try writing for it

3 If the requester is someone who wrote for me before

Did you click "get prompts" or w/e it is? They don't load automatically

Yeeesh, I just saw that one. And of course it's their only prompt for the fandom!

If you GTFO last year, how are you here now?

Do you think no one passes _coal developments on to their friends or something?

I mean, she's an amazing recip that writes to die for comments. You totally don't have to write for her though if that's not your style. More comments for me!

my SO has the complete calvin and hobbes set so i'm thinking about reading it and seeing if any of the letters inspire me.

There goes all my plans to write about erotic penis yams

All the placeholder letters.

/coalie who has to finish their gift fic within 2 weeks due to RL stuff.
