There hasn't been an easily-accessible list before now. And people do go write stuff without requests, and do gift people who haven't asked for things.

1. It would have to go in madness.

2. There would be ZERO wank if the recip rejected asap without commenting. The author would have to pull a heeroluva and keep it anon forever because the moment reveals happened the would be wanked to hell and back.

Why is wank relevant?

Given that rejecting exists....what is any sort of bad thing about this situation?

A could gift B a fic about anything at literally any time of the year. B can read it if they want to reject it without any issue. If B doesn’t care about what other people think (wank) then it happening during Yuletide is literally no difference.

B’s life is not ruined because some loser tried to force a comment from them and got shot down for their trouble. It’s 2 seconds out of their day to hit reject if they are the 1 in a million that this happens to in Yuletide 2020.

Oh my goodness coalie, rejection existing being a minimiser is just fucked up - akin to 'just say no'.

Re: Your Rep

Either peer pressure (wank) exists and it is on their side because the author is the one going very much against the grain. Or wank is not an issue and then there is no peer pressure at all.

You can’t have it both ways.

ayrt There has been an easily accessible list of pinch hitters who are actually asking for gifts. If those people usually don't get gifts, I really doubt there's going to be a flood of unrequested gifts for people who aren't asking.

This problem exists only in your mind.

Except for the part where the discussion is a) future based, and b) not without precedent.
