Trick or Treat!

Two more days until assignments due and this fic is like a Herculean labour.

Can't use the other post. She's screening because she has a real job and we don't ;(

(Anonymous) 2018-10-22 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
What a piece of shit -- completely shutting down coal like that. Thank God for this post.

(Anonymous) 2018-10-22 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I was on their side with deleting the transwank, but screening the entire post because they have to work instead of just letting people have their little fit and get over it is a dumb, petty move.

Yeah, let's just move to this one.

LOL, and now wannabe mod is screening every single comment! What a fucking loser.

Heavensqueen, can you please make sure this doesn't happen again? Just don't let random idiots start posts anymore. (I appreciate you though, coalcube, don't get me wrong!)

Have we made FFA yet?

Has coal's implosion made FFA yet?

(If so, I'm sure they're sitting there laughing at us)

I have a real job at other times of day. I think Elsa is in a much different timezone, I'm guessing in the America's if she's locked herself up in her room now.

What do you look for when treating?

(Anonymous) 2018-10-22 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Like the title says. Extra points if it's more than fandom or character/ship that makes you type up a treat storm.

(Anonymous) 2018-10-22 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
In the Americas, sorry. I'm not a greengrocer.

(Anonymous) 2018-10-22 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Elsa said eastern time, s yeah, that's America.

Like, 2.5 hours from now.

+1 sigh this is why we can't have nice things

(Anonymous) 2018-10-22 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Most people in America aren't starting work now unless they're working retail.

They're likely in AUS or NZ.

Your assignment

(Anonymous) 2018-10-22 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Mine's okay. Unfortunately I'm a procrastinator first grade, so the story will be less good than it could be.

How are you coming along?

Re: What do you look for when treating?

(Anonymous) 2018-10-22 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
When a person gives me lots of info on why they like a canon and what they like about it. I love the squee. It makes me excited to write.

The transwank was pretty dead and then they started freezing/deleting. Just post recipes when it begins and move on.

(Anonymous) 2018-10-22 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm betting it's American too. Would be nice to figure out its real username so we could all stay clear.

It's a relaxing fandom to write in and got me a few comments last yuletide. On the less positive side, I've written for my recipient before and she only commented some time after author reveals.

3 Truths and a Lie

(Anonymous) 2018-10-22 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
In prep for requests becoming public!

(Anonymous) 2018-10-22 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Now the mod is walking back and saying they'll try to unscreen every few minutes.

Hahaha

Not good enough.

Prompts that are more specific than "What if Alice didn't do the thing at the end of S2?" or "I'm so sad this show was canceled! What do you think S3 would have been?"

I'm willing to dig deep for my assignment but for treats I want you to paint me some sort of sketch for what you want the fic to be. Time I'm spending brainstorming is time I could be using to write for someone who had a prompt that instantly made me go "yup ok I know exactly what this fic is going to be *opens word doc*."

(Anonymous) 2018-10-22 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed. I hated the transwank, and I didn't mind not having to look at it anymore, but screening all comments like that is ridiculous.

(Anonymous) 2018-10-22 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't they be starting quite early if they were in most industries in Australia? At the latest, it's only 8:30.
