De-anoning here a little, but it's for a good cause. I was the recip of this fic and I really can't tell you what was going through this person's mind. They've written plenty of f/f in the past, so it clearly wasn't as cut and dry as I'd initially expected, but I guess it doesn't really matter in the long run. I felt kind of hurt and bewildered when I first read it and vagued about it a little bit on ffa/coal because I wasn't sure whether I was justified in rejecting it or not. When people recommended I do so, I did. I didn't realize that was searchable and wasn't expecting people to notice when I did it. It ended up setting off the chain of events to people finding the fic and everything, so... idk, I kind of kept my head down after that because I'd rather be known for my writing than wank surrounding me, y'know?

The only reason I'm posting now is that I want to point out that scioscribe wrote me a treat after both the YT and Madness collections closed and it was really kind of them. They knew they wouldn't get YT eyes on it and they posted it for me anyway. It took a lot of the sting out of a stressful YT and I'm very grateful for that. Now that I know who to credit, I wanted to post a link to it here so they'll get the readers they deserve.

Vanity, All About Eve (scioscribe)

I'm not going to post any more after this and I don't really want to stoke any flames here. I just wanted to point out that I have definitely seen some kindness through all this that I've really appreciated. I thought that the people who are upset on my behalf should know that.

I'm glad you got a treat, coalie! scioscribe commented on my fic this year; they seemed lovely, and this really cements it for me. I'm glad there's been some comfort to you throughout this process.

I'm really glad you got a treat, coalie, that m/f fic must have really sucked to wake up to on the 25th.

Your posts about this were so mild and polite that I was halfway convinced there must have been two fics like this in the collection. This was sort of like you said "Someone left a turd in my yard?", leading us to picture some ass walking their dog very impolitely, then two days later there's a news report about someone unloading an actual dump truck full of manure on top of your house.

DC I think there actually may have been two fics like this in the collection. Someone over on FFA mentioned a work that was tagged F/F and also ended with M/F, but the details they had don't match the All About Eve fic.

Yeah, there's another one, I think it's Spinning Silver.

I'm so glad you got a treat, anon! That was incredibly kind of scioscribe, and they're one of the best writers around. I'm sorry you had to get that crappy a gift, but you're handling it well.
