There's this Untitled Goose Game/Captain Marvel crossover:

Judging from the short but gracious recip comment, it looks like this may have been an unrequested crossover for a canon the recip didn't know.

Forget unrequested crossover -- recip DNW'd crossovers. They were really gracious!

I mean, I guess technically, on some level, one could argue it's not a crossover because the goose game is also a thing that might exist in the real world. But on another, more fundamental level, this is obviously super shitty. And given that Captain Marvel and the goose game were both hot in exchanges this year, I have to wonder if this was someone hoping to strike it exchange popular or something.

And this was her only gift. Add dawnstone to the list of people who should get nice things next year.

Oh jeez, didn't even notice the recip had DNW'd crossovers. And yeah, this is one of those things that's the very definition of skirting a DNW. It's basically one long extended joke that's only really funny to people who are into the Goose Game, which is such a shitty gift to give to someone who didn't ask for another fandom to be mixed into their fic.

If dawnstone signs up for Chocolate Box, I might see about writing something for them.

Yeah, I only noticed because I went to check to make sure she hadn't had one of those "I'm open to any sort of crossover!" clauses or something. And then discovered, nope, the opposite.

And yes, this is a perfect example of it being a real line-skirting. And it's like -- sure, if there were a throwaway line about Fury getting super obsessed with the Goose Game and being distracted during a meeting by it, it *wouldn't* be a crossover. But this is fully violating the spirit if not the letter of the DNW.

It's not "skirting" a DNW, it's landing directly on one.

And Morbane commented positively, of course.

Ikr now tell me more about how terrible she is for commenting on this fic I'm ready to go off.

The recip also commented positively, so I don't see how Morbane was supposed to magically divine it hit a DNW.

Of course she did. Only time Morbane cares about people writing DNWs is when it happens to herself.

Lol this grudgewank is so desperate.

I feel that the only thing desperate here is your denial and blind defense of her, despite so many people bringing up how badly she's handled DNW issues. But sure, it's just one person making things up because something something grudgewank.

Right now I'm not clear what she's meant to have done. Can someone explain?
