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.

My letter has a lot of people offering a nonexistent fandom and I'm the only one who requested it! It's tied for first place on what I'd like to match on, so I feel really good about that.

Even if that isn't what my assigned writer offered, it looks like I may still get treats!

How are there 16 GotG requests and only three letters? How? /o\

If you mean the plain text database based on the spreadsheet, we fixed some mislinked letters on the spreadsheet this morning, so it should be fixed next time the database is refreshed (which is about once a day, I believe?).

For advice, yo.

Nah, we know it's not you. You've been way nicer than the obnoxious imposter. (I suspect she is a bitter ex-Mrs. Snape.)

I'm the person who JUST commented above you - hi twin! And yes POST THOSE LETTERS

I posted mine! Write me fic about Nova Prime! :D

Ha, as soon as I posted, I saw you! FWIW, I doublechecked the spreadsheet and there's actually a fourth one, that one that doesn't specify whether it's movies or comics. Unfortunately, "The GotG save Christmas" is not a fic I want to write. :(

Shh, you, I have yours bookmarked ;)

I'm actually mostly interested in the minor characters for this one (as they likely won't get much written about them otherwise) so I was happy to see yours. NOW EVERYONE ELSE NEEDS TO POST TOO

One of my fandoms is at 1,3 and I am REALLY STOKED. It's a fandom I've requested before and always got 1,0 so I love that there's actually people who know the fandom enough to want to offer it finally.

I have another fandom at 4, 3 and 2, 1 and no letters but mine posted yet. Show me your letters people!

AYRT

xD

I'm really hoping someone requests The Broker, because I'd love to read (and maybe write) fic about him. And Drax (though he's not really a minor character).

+9000 for truth.

I'm hoping for him, too! Also for the Ravagers, Meredith Quill, and The Collector (I'd love to write him meeting up with The Broker, honestly, although I doubt anyone will request both of them). Someone nominated all these characters, lemme see your requests!

I wish I was confident enough to offer it.

Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements?

NA

Actually, what the OP did was paraphrase people's letters in a way that made it seem like they were homophobic, when all the letters I've seen so far just say some variant on "no Peter/Nightingale, please." I've yet to see one that actually says "no homo." (If it's out there, link.) Expressing frustration would be saying, man, I wish more people were looking for my ship, I really wanted to write it--ie not what the OP actually said.

Gatsby requester, post your letter!

It's _coal, sometimes people express their frustration in not exactly the friendliest possible way.

There are NINE requests for code name verity and only two letters. This is killing me.

I was waiting for a letter from someone wanted Sailor Moon since I offered it. I thought writing Usagi/Mamoru might be fun.

I find someone has requested, very specifically, a crossover with ANY of the Sailor Scouts going to a universe like Supernatural, Justice League, and so on. Way to fail on the "any" tag and way to show you're a DICHead who hasn't seen Crystal.

Lesbian?

I think no it's a dig at the hiphop crowd. You know, when guys are close, but just friends, they always say no homo.

i fell out of love with the fandom in one week :((
