I go there maybe half a dozen times a year? What on earth are you doing that you go there every day?

When I do go, I barely even notice the individual bad gifts, of which I have plenty. It's just a wall of text that I scroll past to find whatever I'm looking for. Most of them I've utterly forgotten about, because I've literally never looked at or clicked on them again after the obligatory thank you when I got them.

Like I said upthread, re-reading old gifts. I didn't realize that was so entirely unusual.

Rereading isn't unusual. Rereading the same few things every single day? Yes, that's unusual.

+1. I love my gifts, but I re-read them maybe every couple of months at most. There's no book or fic I love enough to re-read every single day.

Oh, sorry, that was a misunderstanding. Obviously I don't reread the same gift fic every day or every other day. I just go to my gifts page and pick one to read every day or so. Each individual story, I don't read more than once every few months. Otherwise I'd get sick even of my favorite fics.

(And I had my account for a long time and am fairly active in fandom, so I have enough gifts - both in and out of exchanges - that rereading 4 or 5 stories a week would last me almost a year even if I reread them each only once.)
