pantswarrior: Dear characters: I'm nicer to you than the canon. (author is nice)

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.

da

I once got a BNF as my recipient, who shared my likes and who I looked up to, and I was actually more excited than nervous. Jackpot, right? Nope. Life happened and they dropped out of fandom and I never heard from them, so presumably they never read my gift.

Nobody commented on my gift.

Decided to quit exchanges.

That really sucks. I've had it happen once for another exchange, but I liked the story I wrote, so I've learned to live with it.

ayrt

Well, on the bright side, it was an excellent motivation to actually finish something in a good time.

It's not all bleak, you're right. Thanks!
