I think anyone can reject at anytime because who cares really, but agree people that go to their gift page a lot astound me. I’m equally shocked that an author would notice the gift had been rejected through because who is looking at their works page that much??????

During YT when you might be checking obsessively, would it stop saying “gift for x” in the description?

AYRT

I guess I should clarify, using your Works in Collection page makes sense during the exchange, but rejecting during the anon period is very rare. I mean that the recips that wait a month or so to reject. I honestly wouldn’t notice because I only check my page for the latest fics during anon periods and if a recip did go missing, I would assume they deleted. I wouldn’t even be inclined to try to remember how the exact username was spelled and go searching to see if they were still around. Maybe it’s because I’m a prolific treater and have a lot of things pushed down mu works page regularly or (without trying to tempt fate) that I’m lucky enough that I’ve never had a badly received gift so I don’t know how traumatic it would be, but I HAVE had recips delete before and I didn’t even notice until someone mentioned it on FFA months later.

Well, most people go to their works page at least every time they post something new. They'll only see newer works unless they go several pages back, but being on the dashboard and works page happens fairly regularly.

No?

I post new non-exchange works by using the "post" link in the header from the AO3 homepage. And then I check the fandom tag to see if I have to redate it to tomorrow if it's already halfway down the page immediately after posting. My works page doesn't factor into the process at all.
