Since there's been all this talk about the Spirit of Coal, let's bring this one back.

"Ehh, please don’t: REALLY hateful hate sex with no affection, using the word penis and vagina in sex scenes (not that I have a problem with it, only that it’s jarring as it reminds me grade 9 sex ed), super saccharine fluffy fic. Using the word erotic. yams. I hate yams."

Why even bother have two different lists for DNWs?? Just a big wtf with this one.

Ugh. The long link to the Google doc up top is making my mobile view go wacky in order to accommodate it. Now I have to zoom in to request.

Any chance mod can just make it a link without the entire text?

....Thread misfire? This is about people you are glad you didn't get matched with.

"DNW: slash, characters behaving OOC" sigh.jpg

And why am I not surprised it's for a Russian canon? /Russian coalie

What's the problem? Not wanting slash doesn't make you a homophobe.

Done. I removed all the links because I figure clicking is preferable on mobile and desktop? I don't want to make any tinyurls for stuff.

Re: Requests are out!!!!

(Anonymous) 2018-10-22 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe cyrt is jumping wt shadows over the no ooc being right after no slash, as if that implies that slash is ooc (the characters would never!!!).

I'm just using the app, it's easy peasy

☑️ fandoms with prompts ☑️ bookmarked fandoms

(Anonymous) 2018-10-22 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
You are lovely.

I know some people pile seeing the links so they know where they're being directed, but even that text can be changed if it's clickable.

Those people can just copy the link and see what it is if they don't want to blindly click.

God, you weren't kidding. I'm especially glad I dodged this one:

I'd love a fic about Venom learning about consent, learning to respect Eddie's consent, and how they develop better communication and respect for each other.

Not because I want to write Venom/Eddie noncon but because Venom/Eddie consent issuefic seems about the least interesting way to go about writing this xeno porn. This person also DNWs possessiveness which is a big part of the appeal for me.

Yeah, I am not surprised at hobbitdragon's one prompt. Yes, an issuefic about consent is definitely what someone signed up to write *eyeroll*

That's why I don't want to tinyurl.

Are there any other links people want added? I don't mind adding the mini challenges but if nobody has any use for them then I won't make it more bloated.

The Iron Fist request where the only thing they want is an issuefic race-bending AU.

the link to the app isn't working for me, but otherwise I approve!

Fixed.

Yes, high-five! Fingers crossed hobbitdragon won't find a platform for their uber progressive bullshit and Venom fandom will stay kinky.

One of the requests where I had offered any and all their prompts were for characters who weren’t nominated and they didn’t have anything for any of the nommed characters and just said do whatever you want. I would have no idea what to do with that because all the unnominated characters and prompts were not something I could have ever done. And apparently they did this with another fandom so I have pity for their author.

Maybe parent up.

cyrt

it doesn't, but tbh I think DNWing slash in general is faux pas. Nothing prevented them from just DNWing non-canonical pairings.

DNWing OOC is stupid and mildly insulting to the assigned writer.

I don't consider some random thread on _coal a platform.
