Oh, an E-rated fic for my OTP! I like all the tagged kinks! This will be a fun and sexy read!

An excerpt of the sex scene:

Reveling in the restrained gasps coming from the broad man beneath him, Reed slotts their penises together and begins to thrust.

“Hnnh”

“Ha-ah! Ah”

“Hnng”

Oh nooo. Why??

LOL NOOOO

Oh no! Sympathies, coalie!

Omg ahahaha. Even an epithet! My condolences, coalie.

Actually me if I ever tried to write smut.

This made it really easy to find the fic in question, and I honestly feel sorry for the writer. Especially since it looks as if the recip rejected it.

I get the impression that they're really young (spelling "hot" as "hawt" for example), and maybe doing an exchange for the first time. I know that doesn't make up for getting a fic you don't like, but it's clearly not spite and they seem to have tried their best.

+1

They've really tried, they sound sweet from the author's notes, and from checking out possible recips it looks like they most likely had "do anything you're comfortable with" as their entire prompt. Recip could at least have left a kudos or a short thanks and then rejected later.

CYRT

Agreed, the recip is the one who looks kind of bad. If they didn't want a sex scene they should've said so, and if it just wasn't to their taste they could still have left a short thanks.

I hope the writer doesn't see this thread, at least.

I agree. It's also easy to find who the recip must have been and see their sign-up, which is basically "I ship these characters". It's badly-written, but it looks like an honest effort to give the recip something they would like. I agree it's probably a young first-timer, and I hope this isn't crushing their soul too badly.

There seems to be a rise in the attitude that you can passive aggressively reject your gift just because you didn’t like it and I think it’s really shitty. Grow the fuck up, people. (But maybe there’s more context here.)

I think rejecting a gift you didn't like is fine and *is* the grown up thing to do rather than to fake gratefulness and privately feel resentful.

You can refuse a gift for any reason. Maybe the title reminds you of your ex, or maybe the author is your ex. Maybe the author gave you a brand new DNW. Maybe you think it's spitefic. The reasons don't matter and are none of anyone else's business. Personally, I keep the badly-written gifts and show them to my friends when they visit, and we perform dramatic readings in my living room. But I'm mean that way.

Oh. Oh no. :(

And it's songfic. Bless.

Holy shit, the hits keep comin'.

Can someone link this? Not only do I kind of want to read it, but maybe a madness treat is in order.

Probable recip already has a decent length treat.

Would be more inclined to treat the writer tbh.

It reads like a bad parody to me, but the recip already rejected it.

Wow, you suck.

I think it's an inexperienced, and possibly young, writer who tried.

SA

Since the recip is getting some flak I just want to make it clear that this wasn't my gift. I just saw it in the collection and what I expected was not what I read. I still had the tab open from before it was rejected, so I hadn't realized it was or I wouldn't have brought it up here - I think a rejection is hard enough on someone who's most likely a first-time participant without me adding more negative attention, so sorry, writer, if you're here. And sorry, recip, that this thread brought some negative attention your way too.

that was pretty funny, but not as funny as the hand-wringing replies in this thread

Who was it for?
