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 ;(

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!)

Has coal's implosion made FFA yet?

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

Talk about your assignment here.

Like the title says. Extra points if it's more than fandom or character/ship that makes you type up a treat storm.

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?

In prep for requests becoming public!

Brainstorm ideas, get advice, etc.

We're on FFA!

Trans women salted my crops, burned my village, and kicked my dog.

Since the other post is awol I'm willing to screen or freeze actual trans and other types of inflammatory wank on this post if it's what people want.

I don't care enough to do that with discussions about what did and didn't get frozen. I won't screen or freeze anything about people dragging me.

Do you want that or no? Would you rather there be a different post where I do the bare minimum of modding and leave this one as a free for all?

Would you rathers ITT

I view all dreamwidth comms in site style, but suddenly the subject lines here on coal seem to be different, like the font is bigger and bolder, it seems to be the only comm that looks different, anyone else getting this?

... and in the app!

Requests lurking in the summary that you're really glad you weren't matched to.

!!!!! thank you mod for making the post links clickable. this mobile nonny is grateful

Ok, I'm done a little early, so screening is off.

I'd like to address a couple things.

1: In my many years of participating in and modding anon communities, I've only rarely seen situations where wanking about the deletion of -ist content doesn't turn into just more -ist content. That's why I froze and deleted the "wah quit being mean to transphobes" stuff.

2: Maybe I should have froze the wank instead of deleting. Honestly, my concern was prolonging captcha's appearance, but I can see that backfired. I'll try freezing instead, in the future.

Anyway, use this post or the new one; I don't care which. I'll still be checking this one to remove garbage (like the 100-some-comment thread wanking about trans people that instigated this whole mess).

What is everyone's method for sorting through the 300+ pages of requests? Do you sort by requester and look at every single page, or by fandom, etc...?

Let's have a thread for that here, too.

Rewatched a movie this weekend to see if I ship what the letter ships (it turns out that I do!)

Right now I'm watching a musical for the first time because an actor I like is in it and I want to know if I ship what the letter requests (halfway through and signs are pointing to yes!)

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

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?

is there something wrong with the app, or is it just me? i'm not seeing any letters show up, for ANY fandom

This fandom has a specific DNW -- Pennywise as a character. I'm fine with references to him and implications of his presence, as long as he doesn't show up on the page.

I'd love to see some creepy slice-of-life, or psychological horror with their amnesia and how Derry and Pennywise keep fucking with them.

WTAF?
