Yuletide Weather Forecast:
 
Temperatures are estimated to fluctuate between active panic and total apathy into the next weekend. Main assignments will have a minimum temperature of regret and a complete climate change once editing is complete. Expect treat writing to continue at all free hours unless the dangerous front of procrastination cropping up in the Northeast successful moves into the area, effectively killing the treat storm conditions for the season.

Authors note saying they got into the fandom because they liked the recip (as a person) vs. Authors note saying they got into the fandom because they were so inspired by the letter (as in thought the prompt was so cool that they consumed the canon in order to write it)

Imo liking the recip

I’ve had people tell me both, but I think doing it for prompts is more impressive? I wouldn’t turn away the fics I got because they liked me as a person, but I do kind of feel like they just wanted my comment or to pay me back for a fic I wrote that they loved. When someone says my prompt did it, especially when other people requested it too, it feels like your ideas are sooooooo amazing that the actual canon is secondary, they just needed context to make your headcanon a reality, which is so flattering 🙈

Personally, I’ve gotten into fandoms because of letters but never actually managed to get into anything for people who have treated me before/left me nice comments...does that mean it actually is harder and therefore more impressive after all 🤔
