This could be interesting... or wanky... or both!

Nailed It (TV)

Nicole Byer (Nailed It!)
Jacques Torres (Nailed It!)
Weston Bahr (Nailed It!)

Nailed It! is such a glorious show, that combines the feel-good of GBBO with the delicious chaos of Cutthroat Kitchen. As such, and because I loved the Old Spice Guy Yuletide meta crackfic (https://archiveofourown.org/works/141990), I would love a Nailed It! Yuletide crack meta fic.

The idea is to lovingly poke fun at common pitfalls in fic and writing fic, Yuletide fic especially, in the format of a Nailed It! episode (a million bonus points for the requisite Wes cameo/gag).

For example, imagine the challenge was a canon-compliant fic and one of the competitors panicked and wrote a 12k werewolf Mpreg roadtrip AU, and Jacques Torres reads a snippet of it aloud while Nicole Byer goes on a face journey in the background.

As such, feel free to play fast and loose with my general DNWs! Some of which are: first/second person POV, character bashing, Die for Our Ship, A/B/O, Mpreg, and songfic.

More details and general likes/DNWs can be found in my letter.

Ugh whyyyyy link to another fic. I’m not going to read it and worse, now I have to worry about comparing to some ideal model fic in your mind. For a main assignment, fine, but I’d never poke that with my treat pole.

Years ago there was a super clever Gus-does-Yuletide fic for Psych--I remember liking that one a lot, but it was the first time I'd seen it done. The was a funny Community one that had Abed writing fic but I don't think it was Yuletide. The Old Spice one was overrated.

That sounds delightful. Nailed It! is fun and if someone can nail (haha) the character voices it would be amazing.
