I'm sorry, OP. That's just horribly rude on their part and speaks of being dragged up by, I dunno, arctic petrels or something equally yuck. Can you un-gift it, as it were? Petty but satisfying, I'd imagine.

I hope you got comments and/or kudos from other people?

[(Anonymous)]

It does suck, OP. That happened to me when I did a Secret Santa in 2015. Seven years later, though, it's my most-liked fic with 1200 kudos, which takes a lot of the sting out of it. Small comfort to you right now, but I bet your fic will mean a lot to and be enjoyed by a lot of other people. (... Having said that, you're probably in like a microfandom or something, in which case, quality is more important than quantity?)

One year I didn't comment comment on my yuletide gift. I liked it! And I commented on some other things! But I was having a bad depressive episode that christmas and i felt like my gift needed, you know, a good comment, an attentive and detailed comment, and I didn't have the energy, and the longer it had been the more I psyched myself out about it. I still feel a little bad about that.

Anyway, maybe they didn't love your fic. Or maybe they're just going through some weird shit and it's not obvious online. It still sucks not to have your efforts acknowledged by your giftee, but hopefully my secret shame helps you feel like it's not anything you did wrong.

[tabaqui]

Yeah, that's the damn worst thing. Especially if they're commenting on other stuff, like...wth.
I'm sorry, OP.

[greghousesgf]

every secret Santa I participated in, I gave something the recipient liked a lot. I didn't get anything. In most cases I don't even know who got my name in the drawing.
I don't participate in secret Santas anymore.

[(Anonymous)]

this is the reason I DONT’T participate in secret santas. I feel like if I went to all that trouble I at the very least deserve a like or kudos even if they decline to comment, it’s rude as fuck.

[(Anonymous)]

This is one of my pet peeves. Saying thank you and giving someone an appreciative comment for the work they did for you isn't that hard, but so many people have excuses for why they just caaaaaaaaaan't do it. If you know you struggle with words and have somehow managed to reach near-adulthood/adulthood without learning how to thank someone sincerely, then don't participate in exchanges until you figure it out.

[thatwasjustadream]

That's just the worst. I've had it happen - and I'll never know if they didn't like it or didn't see it! 'Cause it's a writer i'd shared posts with back and forth for some time on a particular fandom, so...they should have seen it.

It's another reason to write for the pleasure of it, the practice, and for ourselves as much as for anyone else. Their loss, not saying thank you. But I know it doesn't feel that way.

[(Anonymous)]

I accidentally did this to someone once, because I didn't realise that if you got more than one gift in an exchange, your email provider might thread your email. So I read about my gift, said thank you...and didn't realise that there was a second email with a second gift right underneath. And it was a large exchange, so I hadn't read everything that interested me in the first six days. Fortunately this was an exchange where saying thank you for your gift was mandatory, so the mod poked me and I was very embarrassed and left a comment and an apology.

Is saying thank you for your gift mandatory in this exchange? Maybe ask the mod?

In fairness, he may have been multiracial, and his enemies certainly tried to imply that he was.

I try to do this, but fail really, really badly - most of the time I just end up with a party of eeveelutions because I love them too much to pretend to enjoy grinding up more ice or psychic types.

While I don't have merch, I've watched the movies and would do so again, and I'm no kid or parent. You don't need a reason to enjoy something that isn't harming anyone or anything else... no matter what anyone says.

Huh. Had to google the word, and there's a word that just means 'person wearing glasses'! Interesting. And, also, is a particular anime trope. Neat!
Learn something new every day. :D

I'm the opposite really. I viewed the one on the left with the same visceral reaction as seeing little kids dressed up for beauty pageants. I can ignore the one on the right more (but not all) because if you stretched out the limbs, it would be indistinguishable from an older anime character. The one on the left has a face that looks neotenous.

Hey, sorry you're going through this. There was a time in the past when the trolling on f!s was bad enough to make me leave for years. Lately I've noticed similar trolling and viciousness going on, so I'm saddened that this is making people leave here, but I understand.

Books that should be movies....

[tabaqui]

I'm re-reading Thorne Smith's 'Night Life of the Gods', and while there is a 1935 film, it would be great to see it re-done on like Netflix or HBO. Get all the silliness and sweetness of the book *plus* all the debauchery and nudity. :D

An honestly? Pretty much any Cherryh sci-fi would be awesome in movie form, especially Downbelow Station.
