The Dirty Energy Source

Do you want to make a spreadsheet about spreadsheets?
Do you still need to figure out what two other fandoms you should request beside the only one you really want fic for?
Or are you trolling ALL the letter posts for placeholders, just so you can write those people some nice, dry coal?

We want to know all about it.

That was 3ships that matched just on fandom. Holly_Poly matches on fandoms and relationships both.

Yep. I'm honestly not bitter about it, but it does suck that people argued for Natasha's inclusion and got ignored, but other people argued against Generation Kill's and it got in anyway.

Curious, could you explain why you want to write xeno? I have a book fandom where xeno would fit and it's not one of my squicks, but I don't feel strongly positively, either.

I'd default on an author who made a habit out of deleting their fics. I can't stand people who do that.

AYRT

If you wrote more than literally two sentences for your Shakespeare section, you're fine.

A few years ago I was linked to delicious wank here from another anon rant meme I frequent.

http://of-carabas.livejournal.com/573739.html The Rappaccini's Daughter AU prompts are what I'm eyeing for treats, personally. Don't know their other fandoms, but skimming suggests they like vampires and have a lot of darker prompts.

http://woggy.dreamwidth.org/150385.html I like their His Dark Materials, Girl Genius, and Arthurian prompts, and I'm going to try and write at least one of them. I hope someone writes the others, because I really like backstoryish stuff like that.

http://miss-prince.livejournal.com/27143.html I love their Analogue prompts a lot. I don't know their other fandoms but if anyone is into iddy romance and/or porn tropes, they say they like those list a bunch of them in their general wants. (Including soulbonding. IIRC we had a pretty big contingent of soulbonding fans here?)

DA

I assume they like xeno and it's one of their kinks? I mean, that's certainly why I want to receive it.

Not even close, nonnie.

DA

Her Sound of Music prompt... is it just me, or is anyone else wanting Liesl/Baronness? Maybe I'm messed up. xD

I blame Robert Moses for the lack of more diverse muppety neighborhoods in the city.

What are you wishing for this Yuletide season?

A nice pair of socks, a good assignment, and a writer who isn't crazier than a barrel of monkeys.

One of those is mine! Oh happy day!

Inspiration. I want words to flow. I want to write things I'm happy with, and not at the last minute either.

A nice comment from my recipient, too.

Someone to write my erotic blood drinking.

Mine!

I'm really proud of my letter this year.

For my boss to get a promotion so I don't have to look at his stupid, muppety face every day.

Oh, you probably meant fic-related.

Energy, time, and inspiration to write a great assignment + at least two treats.

Also to pet my cat.

A recipient with a nice long letter and good prompts that I can write a good fic for
+ receiving a nice long-ish shippy fic in the fandom of my heart.

Great fic to be written by me & for me.

I'd rather get no response.

One good one.

...I've been reading too many of the Long Live the Queen threads. That should have said try before you buy, not die!
