Have you shaken your gift?

Yes and it looks great! No additional tags, but seems to have my ship, a really good length, and rated E.

Ooooh, I also have a treat! If I've found it correctly the tags look AWESOME.

*jumps up and down* This is going to be the best yuletide ever!

Yup and it looks really bad.

Yes! It's pretty short but the additional tags look great, so I'm hopeful :D

Yes, and I'm super excited!

Yup :/

I have! I can work out one fandom but not the other because I fail at shaking. Any tips ??

I've shaken both my fics, and both look like they are canon divergent in a way that makes me squeal with glee. Soooo excited to read them!!!

Wasn't going to but just gave in and looked at fandom, and given that I went to the pinch hit list I am hoping an excellent author I know who shares said fandom picked me up and wrote me something she knows I'll love... :D But I'll be happy with more fic in this fandom at all as long as it's not coal!

Repeatedly. The tags have changed within the last week so I'm honestly disappointed. It looked for a while that I was getting the rarepair of my dreams but it looks like it's a gen/friendship fix now. I'm fine with gen, really, but it's disappointing when I'd spent a few weeks getting excited about shipfic.

I should have never looked.

I can't shake mine as there are too many fics posted in the fandoms, but I hope my recips don't shake theirs. Right now both are could-stand-alone-but-are-really-drafts and will be at least doubling in length before the reveals, and I would hate for them to spend the week feeling disappointed!

Posted right before deadline, just above minimum wordcount, ignored my requested ships.

Both my gift and my treat are in unwrangled fandoms, so no. Takes all the fun out of it when all I can tell is that they aren't porn.

Yes...and I'm wishing it came with a receipt so I could return it.

I would, if I had something to shake.

~1020 words, gen, no additional tags besides character names.

:|

I have. And assuming I'm doing it right, it's either going to be:

1. for the fandom I also wrote a gift for and incorporates some of the elements I included in my gift (I hope its not uncouth to write aspects of the fic I wanted for a someone who's prompt wasn't terribly specific) or

2. For a different fandom I've been burnt by before, using a fanon I love and a trope I adore but one of the characters I requested isn't listed, even though he's inherent to the tagged trope.

I did, and I'm so confused. It looks like it's a crossover with a fandom I do not know at all. I okayed crossovers in my letter, but I guess I naïvely thought they would figure that applied mainly to fandoms I actually knew?

I got 3 (!! never have I received even one in the main collection before), and that third one mysteriously appeared overnight. No counts have changed on any of my fandoms, so it's either untagged or this mystery author waited to gift it.

I am super pumped, especially because I regret shaking my other two.

Yes, but the fandom's too big for me to find out anything specific!

My gift is tagged "poetry". I'm baffled. Nowhere in my letter did I say I liked poetry.

Hmm, I used that tag - but the characters are poets. Crap, is that tag for actual poetry?

>1500 words (but <2500 words), gen/friendship, has all characters requested. I'm sure I'll like it. Only downside is I realized that I was really secretly hoping for the two fandoms I requested Femslash in.

I'm gonna still enjoy this story, since it's basically the fandom that got me into fandom, but yeah, hindsight is 20/20.

Mine just came in, and it looks like exactly what I was secretly hoping it would be. Shippy (and it's a rarepair!), tropey, explicit, and long. I'm so excited.
