Name the fandom. And repeats, etc.

(If you think something in this thread is a troll, please ignore it! Conversation is fine, but OT wank makes stuff harder to keep track of in this thread. Thanks.)

[case]

Deleted some stuff here. Please let's take a step back and be kind to each other.

Also, DW's icon servers seem to be laggy/acting up so no, so it's not just you!

Now I want green pears and goat cheese. OP you do you, consuming media because you like it is a good thing.

This is me against the majority of the LawLight death Note shippers who keep trying to insist that Light's a top when he's clearly a delectable bottom.

[(Anonymous)]

I just love the image you chose for your secret, OP.

Villains is spelled wrong.

WDYM "make sense as bottoms"? Is this more sex positions = personality stuff, or?

This is blasphemy.

disagreed, but only because there's a generational aesthetic here that can't be taught, only lived. I grew up with Tears For Fears and the existential melancholy of the 1980s. Any cover will carry baggage from a later time period that can't be captured the same.

There is no better/worse, there is only different. And that's okay. But never call it superior.

[(Anonymous)]

agreed.

I would agree if Lorde didn't mainly sound bored out of her mind most of the time.

First, thank you, Secret Maker! Second, the Vikings DID spectacularly choke last weekend, and I have never been so relieved.

Unfortunately, knowing the gaming community, that argument falls apart at "you're not attracted to Crash Bandicoot".

Question

[(Anonymous)]

Was the recipient polite about it to you directly? Did they thank you for the gift fic?

Because if they did both those things, then I respectfully suggest that while it's normal to feel a lot of mixed emotions about someone not liking your gift fic, you did your best and that's what matters. Not everyone's going to appreciate your writing, but so long as they're gracious about it, that's the best outcome that can be expected.

If the recipient was rude or ungrateful, or indiscreet in complaining about their gift fic in a place where it could easily get back to you, then that's on them for being an asshat with no manners. I don't know if the Yuletide mods do anything about this sort of thing, but I assure you that if I were a mod and I found out someone was being a douchewaffle about their gift, I'd give them a piece of my mind and ban them.

But yes, I'd reconsider doing Yuletide or any other exchange in the future if this type of outcome is going to cause you distress. It's not worth it, and I'm sure there are others who would give your fic the love and appreciation it deserves.

General reminder to play nice, please! If I have to keep freezing and deleting half the threads in here, this thread just won't happen any more. That doesn't mean pure politics threads go to GC, it means they don't go anywhere because it's clear they're only being used to start non-fandom arguments.
