do we really need a consolidated thread like this? wouldn't it be easier to read one thread per question?

I'm intrigued already. Any hints as to fandom?

Happy ending for a couple of detectives for my recip.

Then casefic that kills off an unlikable fuckknuckle of a character in the same fandom for a treat. (The treat-recipient asked for this character's death, my recip did not give an indication either way, so... that's what I'm gonna do.)

How common are non-commenters?

ITT, if you choose: the number of gift fics you've given vs. the number of non-commenters and/or never-returned placeholder commenters.

My first year at YT, my writer gave me 3/4 of my requests.

I've never been lucky enough to match with someone who I knew all of their fandoms. But last year, I was able to write 2 fics in 2 separate fandoms for my recipient which was incredibly fun.

This isn't for Yuletide, but someone once did that for me in a fandom-specific exchange. Still one of my best exchange experiences ever.

My recip wants a modern AU for a canon that's already set in the 20th century and doesn't extensively involve current events of the period, so I can't just update the politics or whatever. What do people like about modern AUs of near-modern canons? Updated pop culture? Smartphones? I'd really appreciate some advice; I want to write the AU of my recip's dreams, but I don't really know where to start.

Me. Their letter said they'd do it by a certain date though so I'm focusing on a different exchange until they put it up.

I've given 40 gifts, and gotten recip comments on each.
