This is Yuletide, everybody make a scene

I am the sock with the tear-away face
Low-effort with your gift and gone without a trace
I am the "who" when you call, "Who does an exchange without acknowledging their gift?"
I am the wanker blowing through your fics comments
I am the coalie dragging your letter at night
Filling your exchange to the brim with fright!

This is Coaltide!

Re: If you've defaulted before, why?

I defaulted because I felt I couldn’t write something my exchange recipient wanted. The recipient is a lovely recipient, and there was nothing wrong with their letter or their request. I was drawing up blanks for ideas on my end.

NC. I had the same experience last year, Coalie.

I felt really guilty for defaulting, as I've been doing YT every year since 2006, and the only other time I'd had to default was when I had to have my appendix out.

But I didn't want to give my recipient unintended coal, either.
