That second one is tagged "missing scene" but it's.... not. It's a rehashed scene from the movie. It's inoffensive, but boring af.

I can't remember how much of that scene/dialogue is in the film?

Anyway, the recip left no prompts or likes, and a placeholder letter on tumblr that they never bothered to update, and then they rejected a fic that is well enough written and does give some insight into the character even if it is somewhat rehashed? The NERVE. I hope I never get them in an exchange. Were they expecting the writer to be a mind reader?

Name and shame, coalie. I wanna avoid them in the future too.

It's MachineGunBallet

They kudosed.

Also it looks like they haven't bothered to comment on any of their gifts in yt or earlier.

And they got two treats as well as their main gift? Kinda makes you wonder wtf when there's good commenters with good letters not getting any treats.

Fandoms?

People can have the best letters and I will never know if they request fandoms I don't know. And some people prefer writing for people without optional details.

Do people seriously decide who to treat based on whether they comment?

Why would you treat someone who won't say thanks?

More on if they give good comments, but yeah.

Yes. Personally, I'd rather not reward people who can't be bothered commenting on their gifts with treats.

Why is this such an alien concept?!

I sure do. I would never write a treat for a non commentor, and honestly even a short commentor is probably off my list unless I'm totally in love with the prompt to the point that I can't let it go (or if they wrote me a great fic in the past or something).

There are always a million things I want to write, so why not focus on the good commenters?

If there's more than one person asking for whatever I feel like writing I'll poke around and see if one's obviously better about commenting, but otherwise my treating is based 100% on "I feel like writing something for this canon/character/pairing, I wonder if anyone has any fun prompts I could roll with and make it a gift."

I mean that's very much a 'my recip sucks so they're getting 1001 words of bland canon' fic.

So like if you want something other than bland barely over the word limit gifts maybe don't be such a shitty recipient.

It's a treat.

lol jfc

It was a treat, and the signup was just a placeholder. I find it odd anybody would write that particular rehash in such a serious "this is devastating" way as a treat for somebody with a placeholder to start with, and odder that the recip rejected it.

The third one only had two requests, and I haven't read it but a glance it's hard to see what was so offensive about it.

It does have a single comment, though, from beatrice_otter. *eyebrows raise*

SA

I've now seen the comments here that it's tagged F/F and ends up M/F.

So with the title "Getting Back to Being a Woman" hanging over that . . . holy fuck.

Ooof, that title plus the f/f thing is a big yikes.

So with the title "Getting Back to Being a Woman" hanging over that . . .

WOW. Fuckity nope.

For the rehash, it could be the treater forgot to put the name on, or the recip accidentally hit reject. It happens.

Yeah, that's why I'm guessing the Home Alone treat writer just forgot to put in the recipient.

Ha, maybe Beatrice otter is trying to make it clear she did not write this particular unrequested poly.

Isn't beatrice_otter the one who's ace and won't read/write relationships, while rosefox is the pan+polyvangelist?
