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.

Oh, that sucks. I've never actually participated in it. Thanks for the cautionary tale.

Doesn't that one match just on fandom and not even on characters or specific poly arrangements? I remember looking at it last year and thinking, "Yeah, no", but I can't remember why. I think that might have been it?

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

I'm confused as to why the mod doesn't run it matching through ao3. Most people are familiar with dozens of canons. You can't just have people throw out offers willy-nilly without know what's wanted.

It's pretty clear that they're running it in a rushed manner this year; probably didn't expect people to say yes when asked if they wanted another round.
