Re: yuletide woes

[(Anonymous)]

if they default NOW, there's time for a pinchhitter to come in and fulfill the request. if they hem and haw much longer, the assignment gets NOTHING. you don't think that's unfair?

Re: yuletide woes

[(Anonymous)]

Or they could write something

Re: yuletide woes

[(Anonymous)]

something I have pretty much no faith in happening at this point

Re: yuletide woes

[(Anonymous)]

Why?

Re: yuletide woes

[(Anonymous)]

they waited a long time, have multiple prompts that aren't sparking any creativity with them, and they're asking for help on fandom secrets like that will somehow make it easier or faster for them. if the juices are not flowing, throw in the towel when it's not too late for someone else to actually fix this.

DA

I'm completely with you on this one. I stopped doing Yuletide because three years running I got nothing. Two of those I didn't even get a pinch-hit or a treat or anything. How is an exchange any fun if you're not going to actually put up and write the fucking thing? Don't take it on if you're not going to do it!

Re: yuletide woes

[(Anonymous)]

The only way you'd get nothing if you actually signed up would be if you defaulted, so that's your own fault.

Re: yuletide woes

ayrt

No? I got bad luck of the draw and kept getting first-timers that floundered/ghosted and didn't default, so I literally got nothing. One time I did get a treat from someone completely different, but the other two years it was tough cookies. They weren't allowed to participate the following year, which is good, but I still got the short end. My gifts went out on time just fine.

Re: yuletide woes

People who ghost are auto-defaulted at the submission deadline and their assigned recipients go out as pinch hits if they haven't also defaulted, so this sounds fake as hell to me.

Re: yuletide woes

[(Anonymous)]

I never even hinted I thought it wasn't unfair to the recipient. So yes, if they don't receive a fic because the anon doesn't deliver, that would be unfair for the recipient. I see you don't care to answer my questions:


So you think it's reasonable to go around insulting people for misdeeds you think they might have a good shot at committing sometime in the future?

Also, you seemed concerned about their recipient possibly receiving nothing. Does shaming the one person who can prevent this from happening going to serve as a good motivation to fulfill their commitment, do you think?

ntayrt

why are you so MAD tho

Re: yuletide woes

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not. Disagreeing with someone and asking them to examine the possible flaws in their own logic isn't the same thing as being angry. It's not a personal attack, it's what civil discussion looks like.
