Re: Future Yuletide plans and ambitions

...WTF, did I phrase that super badly or is there just a lot of very bad faith going around right now??

What I meant was: There are some people who have been spreading a lot of happiness around this fandom, and my ambition for next Yuletide is to give them some happiness by writing them treats!

What I definitely didn't mean:
That people who didn't do that couldn't have good reasons, or that I would be putting them on a don't-treat list.

DC FWIW, I got what you meant!

It's not a punitive thing. More like, if there were eight A/B requesters who all have similar prompts, and I see a couple of them commenting enthusiastically on an A/B fic I loved or an A/B fic I wrote for someone else, I'll make a mental note to try to treat them if they request A/B again. That seems pretty sensible to me.

I'll also make a mental note to treat someone who wrote an A/B fic I loved, but I generally won't know that at this point in the exchange.

Some people are just super combative this year over every little thing. It's like they're trying to make up for how chill things were before the 25th. I wouldn't take it to heart; your meaning was very clear to me!

There are people who literally pick up fandoms to treat the good-commenters, and that's okay. I think you're fine, nonnie.
