Ouch, geez, that would be totally awkward.

I guess just do the best you can and hope you can avoid them afterward.

[silverr]

Ouch.

Here's hoping that at least there's something in the wank you can use to bang the story out quickly.

Tell me about it. I just realized a few days ago that my Yuletide assignment is someone who I've hated really quietly for years. It's...difficult. But these things happen.

(I'm going to persevere and you should too, OP.)

[(Anonymous)]

Yikes! Best of luck!

(I'm going to give it my best shot no matter what, and maybe perform some kind of ritual to cleanse the miasma off later)

[fingalsanteater]

Lmao. That's hilariously awkward. I still hope you write your best for them.

[oroburos69]

I'm always so happy when they mention something I'm not a part of in secrets like this.

Not it! \0/

[unicornherds]

Right? I was reading and when I got to the Yuletide part I was all Woo! Not me!

/paranoid

[agentcthulhu]

Not me either! :D

[maverickz3r0]

I know right? I went oh crap for about half the secret and then was thankful I'm not in Yuletide.

[(Anonymous)]

I went "this might be me," but then remembered I'm anon on fandomsecrets and I almost never start wank, so it can't be me. :D

[forgottenjester]

Same.

It's always the "Oh shiiiii- oh, no, I'm good. Celebrate!"

[stainless]

I had the exact same feeling. Haha.

[diet_poison]

saaaame.

My assignment is the opposite end of the spectrum, being a close RL friend with whom I share little fic chat considering our tastes in fics are wildly different. Seriously, her list of wants is my list of squicks and vice-versa.

Options:
1) Disappoint my friend with a fic that's not really what she wants, hear about it until reveal then deal with the fallout
2) Default
3) Try to write what she likes even though I don't have the knowledge to do it justice

Right now 3 is not getting me very far and 2 is looking more and more appealing.

Bonus 4: Rejoice that she doesn't read F!S

[(Anonymous)]

Which fandoms? If you want to attempt 3, I might be able to help you. :)

[pantswarrior]

This is sort of why I don't do Yuletide anymore. I tried once, and got someone I know... and sort of really looked up to and was intimidated by. If our tiny fandom had had BNFs, she would've been one. So I really felt like there was no way I could actually write something good enough for her...

And then I thought about the possibility of getting a stranger, where I wouldn't even really know what exactly they were looking for, and I just... I... Well, maybe that would be better, right? Not worried about letting them down?

But then I took part in another exchange and did get a stranger who shared a bunch of my fandoms! But liked all the characters I didn't give a crap about and didn't seem to be interested in the ones I was comfortable with writing.

I think I care too much about pleasing the other party to take part in exchanges. :/ I've always really liked what I've gotten, but never feel I've held up my end of the bargain.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I think that sucks even more than my scenario. It's hard to write when every time I open Word I think "This person is an ignorant ASS" but I did have lots of story ideas before I found out so if I can turn off my conscience for a bit I should be able to get it done eventually, and then I don't have to have anything to do with them again.

Reading this I'm going to recommend defaulting in your case. It sucks, but it might be for the better. I wish you luck whatever you go with though!

[cloud_riven]

So which of you rude dudes signed up for Yuuiletiiiiide ~♥

[elaminator]

Sorry OP. :/ Talk about awkward...

I hope this knowledge doesn't fuck with your inspiration too much. Best of luck to you!

[lunabee34]

Eeeeeeeeep.

[forgottenjester]

o-o

Oh goodness.

Good luck.

[velvet_mace]

Be honest, how many of you thought "Oh jeez what did I say this time ... wait, it's not me! Yey!"

[veronica_rich]

I was actually assigned to write for someone in an exchange years ago who annoyed the smeg out of me, about a character I didn't even like. But, I sucked it up and did it - and to be awfully full of myself, it's actually one of the better fics I've ever written. The real trick was, I knew she liked a pairing I hated, so instead, I wrote a genfic about just one of the characters in it. :-D

[(Anonymous)]

I was wondering if it could be me then remembered I don't have an account.

No awkward situation for us OP
