Snagged any?

Absolutely zero of them interest me.

Nothing yet that looked good, but I have a longish list of potential treatees and if I see any of their names in a subsequent batch I'll go for it, I think.

I wish they would just drop them all instead of doing tiny batches.

I can't stay at my computer all afternoon long twiddling my thumbs.

All afternoon? You're lucky. I have to go to bed soon.

The danger of requesting any

my gift is both tagged with chromatic and ms clause...
thanks for picking this off the ph list to get some easy 'brownie' points, dear sjw author.
I fear this yt will suck even more for me than two years ago.

Claimed one for a fandom I'd been meaning to treat. Now the pressure is on.

Could be worse. They could've tagged it "Bechdel test pass" or even just "Bechdel test" like I saw in one fandom.

If I wanted to I get easy SJ points for my fic but the use of those tags squicks me because I've seen the mentality behind it.

I'm already 90% done with a fic for someone I know is going to be coming up on the pinch hits list soon (unless they defaulted). Fingers crossed!

Snagged one. I'm a little (okay, a lot) intimidated, but it did have a fandom that I offered, and it was languishing.

I've actually seen people tag fics "Bechdel test fail." When there weren't even any tagged female characters. Why would I even expect that it would if there aren't any major female character? What sort of information does this add?? Then again it was a fucking WIP mess with 100+ tags and 5k words at the time.

I was quite surprised that Sarah Manning-focused Orphan Black one got defaulted on, I thought it was super awesome.

It's that weird mentality where we need to publicly confess our ~sins~ in some kind of weird social justice as religion analogy.

It probably had nothing to do with the prompt, if they'd hated the prompt they'd have defaulted earlier on.

When I saw Uzumaki I thought about grabbing it, but their letter was pretty meh for me and their one prompt for it is something I think needs to be longer than I'd be able to finish in a couple days.

Might not have been the matched fandom. Might have just been Life Issues on the part of the defaulter.

Mine is shipfic, under 1200 words and tagged with Ms. Clause. I am nervous!

That's request #205 still outstanding, not 205 pinchits.

Tried for one in the first batch and didn't get it. I already have a PH, so I wasn't entirely expecting it.

There's one in the latest batch that I'd love to write, buuuut it's for a long book I haven't read in a while.

Pretty sure they meant PH 205 from the previous batch was still outstanding.

HAHAHAHAHA

That's PH #205, dear, not 205 left. That would really be a holy shit moment.
