moral dilemmas

[kindkit]

Say, hypothetically, there was a very needy fandom on the Yuletide signups, with several requests and no one offering to write it. You have a hammer could write this fandom; in fact, you're written it before in a non-Yuletide context. But you don't really want to write it this Yuletide; then again, you feel guilty about those people who'd like a fic in this fandom, especially since a couple of your own fandoms are needy and you know how frustrating it is.

What would you do?

Hah, I snerked at the hammer.

I always put in one pity/favour fandom in both the request and offer. Yeah, I'm basically a fantastic human being. (This isn't my first Yuletide, but I wrote under a different nick in previous years.) I've never yet done so in a situation where I know they'll be the ones I'm paired on, though... Hmm.

It would certainly make me tempted to sign up twice. But, if I can't sign up twice and I'm not particularly fond of the people requesting this fandom - as in, none of them are friends of mine - I would not offer that fandom.
