Things you would not admit unanon.

I've been finding commenting on my gifts increasingly stressful, and one of the great things about Yuletide for me is that even if I don't sign up, there will still be plenty of things for me to read. And I do comment on the things I love! It's just nice not to feel pressured by a commenting deadline or a host of recip comment expectations anymore.

I don’t understand why my friends care so much about writer reveals.

I think most people are excited for writer reveals because they get to find out what other people wrote and tell other people what they wrote. Do your friends care about reveals for some other reason?

Personally I want to check out the rest of their work when I love my gift!

If it's so important to you to advertise that you have to swear this much, I'm betting that your fic got no comments and it was rather terrible.

Ah, I was right! Hopefully your subscribers come fawn over you in namespace where you know they're only doing it because of you and not the quality of your fic.

People like this have already told their followers. There's a BNF I used to follow who always told her friendslist what she wrote during the anon period. Her followers obediently went to whatever Yuletide-popular fandom she wrote for this time and upped her stats to above what the other stories had. She did this every year she didn't default. I can't even be mad. How bad of a writer do you have to be to stoop to fluffing your stats every year?

If stats can be fluffed then why do you consider them at all?

I hope this is a subtle clue you were one of the Succession writers.

Normal adults fucking swear sometimes, Karen. I'm sorry you grew up in a fundie or other repressed household but that's your damage.

NA

I mean there's swearing sometimes, and then there's every other word is fuck. This was the latter.

I want to subscribe to my recip's DW because we share the same perspective on the fandom I wrote them.

Reject it in a couple months and move on.

I'm not going to reject a fic written for me in good faith, and I'm already over it. I just would never say that I hated it with my name attached.

where is my kudos?

Re: TYWAU

My recip hasn’t acknowledged what I wrote for them at all. It’s been fairly well-liked by a lot of other people so I know it isn’t a shit story.

What makes this TYWAU is that I read what my recip wrote and didn’t think it wasn’t very good but the person it was written for wrote a glowing comment. Meanwhile I didn’t get a kudos for it. It was a pinch hit, too.

Recip disliked my gift and I'm miffed, becuse I liked it very much and that hardly ever happens.

Next time be less vague about what you like/point to tropes you wanna see, recip.

How do you know they disliked it?
