The Dirty Energy Source

[heavensqueen]

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.

I can't believe people have argued it's different enough from the source material that it should be allowed.

I can't remember any lengthly kind of debate about it. I think there may have been only one post to formally challenge the inclusion. I don't if there was something in the evidence post.

IKR? The thing is, no one really complained. IIRC, someone said "why is SMC allowed?" and then two people (not mods) said Crystal was a ~different beast or whatever. And that was it. Not that I care much about it being eligible--it's not ruining my Yuletide!!11!11!--but it's kinda ridiculous.

There was a ~reasonably~ convincing post on the evidence post. I freely admit to knowing nothing, but they argued that it diverged from the old after the first couple of eps etc, and that some of the character arcs were different. If that's not true I guess it's a shame no one bothered to object.

Yeah, I looked at the challenge post at the time and briefly thought about commenting there, but... nah. Too much work.
