It's always the recip who brings it up on coal or FFA. Every time you've seen a wank about unrequested period sex or racist cab drivers, the recipient was the one who brought it up to wank about it. I don't know why people try to act like it's someone else.

... It really, really isn't. Other people pay attention to DNW-violating fics besides the recips who received them - do you honestly think the threads discussing them when they're discovered are just the recip complaining and then self-replying for hours on end? You're either being deliberately disingenuous and hoping some OEA like me will argue with you, or you're totally kidding yourself.

Anyone with any sense vagues about not liking their gift, for reasons no more specific than "Learn how to spell." It's safe to assume major, specific wanks are from anon busybodies who let no consort with the devil go unnoted.

Nah, I've received dnw fic and it was jumped on immediately by anons and discussed here on coal. I didn't participate in the discussion at all because I was feeling too awkward about the whole thing to even say anything anon lol.

Untrue. I know because I got a DNW fic that was wanked about three or four years ago and I certainly didn't bring it up.

Same. And mine was borderline and my DNW slightly vague, so while I'd fallen on the side of 'does not hit my DNW' coal fell on the other.

Nope. My biggest fandom exchange hateboner is for an author who wrote ODAO fic that stomped all over the recip's request, complete with a faux-apologetic author's note, and I've brought the situation up multiple times on coal and FFA. I was somewhat familiar with the recip beforehand (they'd written for me in a different exchange), but we weren't friends or anything, much less being the same person. The author was just that obnoxious in how they treated their recip that I've loathed them for years.

The author who wrote the 2nd POV Pilgrimage fic for the person who had like 4 DNWs and one was 2nd POV and then was an asshole about it in their reply when the recip was like ??? is dead to me. Why? Because I also hate 2nd. That anon seriously underestimates how over-invested and busybody the group of people who voluntarily spend their time in a comm made for the over-invested are o.O We wank about hypothetical bad behavior, do you really think we aren’t remembering the DNWs/prompts of people who share our fandoms and got fic that went against them? Most coalies will wank about everything BUT their own personal woes in the specific. We are smart enough to never want to be mentioned on coal but messy enough not to extend that to other people lmao

I love second person and that author was a jerk.

Who was this author?

/does not keep up on exchange wank and wants to stay away from them
