I have said absolutely nothing in this post about "forcing" yourself to do anything you don't want to do. All of my word choices are about how this is an optional thing:
"Consider coordinating" "Obviously not all fandoms can do this" "I mean this in general terms" "some of us"
Nobody has to use the spreadsheet, every year people do. Nobody has to offer to coordinate with others, every year people do. Nobody has to nominate something in an extra slot they have on someone else's behalf, every year people do. This post is just asking that more people consider using the spreadsheet and coordinate on the nominations posts with each other for fandoms with bigger casts, keeping in mind the challenges and collections later in Yuletide.
Every year I see people say "I wish I'd known about this challenge/collection, I'd have nominated more women/people of color/women of color!" or "I wish someone had nominated more women in this fandom I just found, I want to participate in Misses Clause but I can't!" This post will hopefully help alleviate some of those issues this year.
