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.

The requests are all open for viewing, too, and there's some good stuff in there requested by people who didn't make letters.

I've managed to limit my wants to 20. This is not going well.

I am. There are only six fandoms I'm strongly considering, so I could ask for all of them, but I know some are more likely than others so I'm thinking about asking for the less likely options, and then there's the fact that I've gotten fics for two of those fandoms before, and basically what it all boils down to is that I am a very indecisive person.

Shut up finch

The letters might inspire people who have heard of it to get more into it, though.

I don't think they're done fixing things, so there's still time?

- http://gonergone.dreamwidth.org/63890.html (another request for Aristotle & Dante)
- http://sathinfection.dreamwidth.org/998.html (Code Name Verity)
- http://googlebrat.livejournal.com/646442.html (Ender series)
- http://peeveee.livejournal.com/2624.html (His Dark Materials)
- http://minebyrights.livejournal.com/1870.html (His Dark Materials)
- http://hopefulnebula.dreamwidth.org/440732.html (another for His Dark Materials)
- http://googlebrat.livejournal.com/646442.html (The Queen's Thief)

I thought it was already finished, good to know.

I'm really hoping that some cool In the Flesh letters come up once sign-ups start, because I'd love to write for the fandom but I'm running low on ideas.

I thought there'd be a flood of Simon/Kieren prompts by now but no dice :(

gary/kieren why

Femdom, f/m, can be anything from BDSM to psychological control.

Letters requesting pegging?

Anyone seen any letters requesting characters who are trapped in an enclosed space, handcuffed together, or anything like that? Specific prompts are a bonus but I'll take it listed in blanket likes too!

I can't remember the rules for sign-ups (last year was my first year), and I can't find a fucking link to them on _admin, so I'm stuck because I don't even know how many fandoms/characters I have to choose...

AYRT

Yeah, I know I'm waiting to read the book to decide whether to request it myself. I'm just curious what's out there.

For God's sake, look at the profile/FAQ on AO3. It's not that fucking hard.

Me. I've read the tagset and started a doc with potential offers (waaaay too big, just a start) and requests. I'm feeling really bleh/boring because as it looks, I may end up recycling all requests from prior years. I mean, that's okay, but I'm just needing to think about it a bit more.

I want to get a letter up in time for people to actually see it linked on the letters post, but figure there's time still.

Well, the "official" spreadsheet last year was a mess, too, wasn't it? Didn't a couple of people have to put together an alternate one?

Man, I'm so sad I couldn't fit that seventh fandom into my signup. FWIW, if anyone happens to receive GotG Peter/Gamora pegging for YT, this coalie will be very excited.

Requests

You are required to request stories in at least three fandoms. You can request up to six fandoms if you want.
For each fandom, you can request 0 to 4 (nominated) characters.
If you request 0 characters, your writer is allowed to write about any of the nominated characters they want, or about the fandom universe in general. You may not request 0 characters and then demand unnominated characters in your optional details.

Offers

You must offer to write in at least four fandoms.
In each fandom, you have to offer 2 to 8 nominated characters. You can also offer "Any" characters, but that really means any of the nominated characters, in any combination. If there are multiple fandoms where you're willing to write any of the nominated characters, you can make a bucket offer.

Ignore mean nonny. What I know for sure is you can request as few as three and as many as six. I'd have to look up again to see about offers. I think four is the minimum but don't quote me.

Alias: Winter
Original Pact: 5 Treats
Current Goal: I'm still aiming for 5. I've started one already and I already have an eye on a few others.

ayrt

Thanks a bunch anon!

I think I remember a letter that had it in their kinks/favorite tropes? And maybe a prompt too?

I'm being lazy rn so lol if that's good enough I'll dig it up for you, but if not then I'll keep scrolling around on tumblr.

For me, it's Gamora/Drax pegging, and Phyrne/Jack pegging (from Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries), and Maria/Grigor pegging (from Tennis RPF).

Probably also a host of other things. Het fic is pretty much always improved with some good pegging. :D

There's this one:
