... and in the app!

Aw, but no text file yet... That's what I always use. Hopefully it'll be added soon!

All requests are not in the app :(

If something is missing, please let the mods know! It's very hard to check otherwise.

Every fandom I've searched for has only had the letters. I know there should be other requests there based on the sign-up summary.

Examples?

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

Man, I was really hoping to see more Viren/Harrow requests for the Dragon Prince. I really thought more people would ship them.

And I was excited about seeing the enchanted forest chronicles prompts since there were so many offers for them in the sign-up summary, but two of them don't even have any prompts :(

I offered both Enchanted Forest Chronicles and The Last Unicorn and I'm glad I dodged the person who has a blank signup for both.

"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.

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!!!).

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.

But if you dnw non-canonical pairings there's no option of other m/f pairings.

Well, I've been going through them and one links to the requester's h/c tag for possible prompts. As someone who loves h/c, I am genuinely impressed that nothing in their tag appeals to me in the slightest. I didn't realize one trope could be liked in two such different ways.

Great, a pillowfort letter and it gives me 404. I guess not getting onto my potential treat list.

flipflop_diva signed up last minute but it looks like meatball is out this year.

Didn't meatball dememe herself earlier this year and find out that everyone thinks she's an asshole? I probably wouldn't be signing up for things after that, either.

If she’s smart she just socked up and won’t out herself as an asshole this time. It’s one thing to be exposed, but to show your own ass?!? C’mon girl.

Meatball doesn't strike me as the sort of person who would think to move to a new fannish identity. They were oblivious enough to admit they don't comment on fics in namespace.

That said, if Meatball saw she was upsetting people and changed her behavior because of it, I'd stop caring and welcome her back even if she's a boring writer. Flipflop_diva on the other hand is damn well aware of what she's doing and should gtfo.

Anyone got deets on this?

NA

Possibly they mean this thread, which included some evidence that a user on the Yuletide Discord talking about how mean anonmemes were was meatball:

Oh thank goodness for that. She wrote me an incredibly boring fic one year for a fandom I’m still requesting.

I removed the largest fandom I had from my requests because I felt like I was likely to match on it despite it being the fandom I felt least confident writing about, but it turns out I couldn't have matched on it anyway. Everybody requested other pairings!

I am sad that I was never going to be matchable on my big fandom because everybody requested other pairings. :(
