3_shipsWhen I sent you your list of requested fandoms, any moresome request that you made for Request 2 was listed as your moresome request for Request 1.
This mixup only occurred on your notice of requested fandoms. Your writer was given the correct list of moresomes for Requests 1, 2, 3, and 4.
If you would like me to send you your actual Request 1 moresome, please comment to this post (comments are visible), but otherwise, assume your writer got what you originally requested.
Also, only one writer has written to tell me that they did not get their original assignment, so everyone else has their assignment? Yes, yes?
Also, also — I got a note from a writer that their giftee's requested story element took the story in an AU direction they could not wrap their head around (and this was definitely and clearly something that had never happened on the show and would have changed the whole thing if it had happened; seriously, seriously AU, not just a differing interpretation on whether the protagonist of the series is Really Nifty or a Complete Dick.) You should include the requested story element, if you can, and please give it a serious try, but if it's impossible for you to write, then don't write that. Check out their journal or their Dear Sailor letter and write them something else that you think they will like. You must write the three characters in their threesome, but if you can't write their requested story element, you can still fulfill the terms of the exchange.

Date: 2011-11-10 12:06 pm (UTC)I, too am still working on my Dear Sailor letter, and honestly cannot remember if I put anyone in the Moreseome slot for my first request. Could you send it to me please?
And thank you again for running this fest. This is my first year doing it, and I am enjoying it very much.
