Ones you got or saw in the wild ITT. Vagueing and links ok.

Re: Diamonds

Brought to you by me opening up a fandom where all of the fics are for one person.

Coal, the fics are strange and contain really specific content. The recip appears over the moon about both of them. It isn’t what I would prompt myself, but the fics are so well written that I was sold.

Yuletide is great :’)

Oooh, what fandom! I love strange.

Re: Diamonds

Oh, man that might have been my fics, they were both incredibly in character and specific. I adored them.

Found in the wild: Bon Appétit Test Kitchen, Brad/Claire college-age AU, E, 29K

Really, really loved this one and I don’t usually like het!

I hate Brad and I especially hate Brad/Claire and I loved this fic. Writers who are so good they can make me love characters I hate are the worst. (By worst I mean best.)

Desert Peach person seems to gotten what they wanted.

Surprisingly, it's also really good.

hi aquatics

Sorry but LOL. I know you have a grudge but is it seriously bad form for them to hype up their gift? The PHer maybe had to pick up a fandom to write it, and from your POV they took a bullet/helped make sure the collection wasn't ~held hostage.

AYRT is either aquatics being a good recip by de-anoning to rec their gift, which is more than the majority of coal is willing to do based on all the OMG MY GIFTS IS AMAZING and then crickets when asked for links/hints - or, they are a random driveby rubbernecker reporting back on earlier wank and reccing the work of the author, which is again more than the majority "I found good fic in the wild" coalies do, as evidenced by the crickets when asked for links on those vague comments.

Do you seriously think bringing wank to the gifts will help your cause at all? If people worry that they'll have wank by association, the PHs will dry up and then you really will have exchanges delayed for days on end.

Who cares if it is aquatics. If it is, good for them talking about a fic they like and have wanted for a long time. If it isn't, I'm glad to know that they did get the fic since aquatics gets mentioned here and on FFA so damn often.

Oh no, not fandoms with fictional Nazis! *clutches pearls* So problematic and wrong.

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

Tbh I’m still amazed at the fact that when I checked out the summary the nazi characters are secretly against the regime.

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

Shhh, coalie. Stop getting in the way of condemning problematic content. Let's not ruin things with logic and reason, shall we?

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

You certainly wouldn't think that from the Discourse™ which would have us believe we're looking at the second coming of ars_belli.

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

I wish I knew what the troll's actual beef with Aquatics is. There's a total disconnect between the ragey wank and the canon being an anti-Nazi comedy.

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

You know, I was Team Let the Anon Fuck the Fruit Nazis, but Aquatics is being so fucking annoying over in the FFA recs thread right now I'm beginning to change my mind.

Don't do this coy "This idfic has X, Y and Z!" [five comments later] "Oh, btw it's also about Nazis, remember to check the warnings!" bullshit. If you're going rec fictional Nazis you do you, but warn for that up front. Especially if the damn fic is tagged "pure Germanic male relations".

Re: Diamonds

[(Anonymous)]

Anon who they did that to

Mostly, they should have just linked to it directly. Like, I don't know them from a bucket of paint, but that certainly did not give me a good impression of them, particularly with that tag.

Re: Diamonds

Stooooooop trying to make this comvo happen here just bc the mods will freeze it over there.

You do realize you’re forcing us all to read about Nazis by talking about this bitch over and over right? The mods could freeze/screen their rec and you could move on, and we would all be spared Nazitalk.
