Dear author,

I can guess who you most likely are because our fandom has 12 people who are all active and talk to each other. I didn't know you were doing yuletide! It's too bad you were matched with me because our tastes don't match at all, we don't like the same characters or the same kinds of writing. I appreciate that you probably tried for me, but boy this fic is uhhhhhh nothing. Just...a couple of cardboard cutouts with names written on the chest being waved around in a few circles and then put down again. Oh well, can't get gold every year. Still had fun and I hope you did too.

I'd rather you not know if it was! If it was you then it means you spent time writing something you're not interested in for me anyway, and the effort itself is nice even if the end product isn't the great. Genuinely would rather be thankful for the effort than disappointed for the result. Plus it's such a big Yuletide, it probably wasn't you and your recip probably loves yours!

Understandable! In that case, I hope you find tons of other things in the archive to love! <3
