Rabbits never wank, which is why they breed like rabbits.

Oh, it was in beginning author's notes, not endnotes? Yeah that kinda changes how it hits for me. If you have to do this, do it in endnotes!

Seriously

For people who disparage tweens who tell the over 18s to get off the internet and go pay their taxes, a whole lot of failmemers sure do act the exact same way. soooo ~cringe~

Unpopular opinion: odao isn’t necessarily the bare minimum but writing 1k of fic to prompt that’s clearly forced and awkward always is

Most of us can tell you hated the entire 45 minutes you spent on the story and resent that you’ll never get that portion of your life back

I love reading post-writing process writeups of any kind. Obviously, not a snide one, but I like these in general.

disagree, linking your own letters in the gift fic you wrote for someone and asking for fics (which comes off as asking either readers or the recip to write for them back) is much worse

(Anonymous) 2021-11-01 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
DA

Except with most requests that aren't "write me that weird AU or I'm going to kill myself", there's a hell of a lot room between "writing a specific prompt you hate" and "writing something in line with what your recip likes".

You don't have to force yourself to do the first, and anyone who expects you to is unreasonable. And if the recip only gave you one specific prompt and nothing else, I have no sympathy for them when you go ODAO.

But if you get a OD box full of general likes and you ignore them all in favour of writing your own thing because everything else will be "forced and awkward", maybe you're not cut out to write gift fic for strangers and you should reconsider your participation in fic exchanges.

I didn't read all of these but I read some, and they were all fine. It sounds like you "read" by looking for small words or phrases that you could try to stretch to sound as wanky as possible, when they're not wanky at all. Way to read with bad faith and intentions!

(Anonymous) 2021-11-01 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)

and that is the problem. He’s a fucking missing stair of yuletide similar to the nazifucker who who turned out to be an actual (neo?)nazi. Except untherius is just a regular bigot, not a nazi.

Bad faith authors? Put them in time out for a year and assign their recip a pinch hit of the apocalypse.

But actual bigots and creepers do not deserve a safe and pleasant community experience. It is OKAY to make them feel uncomfortable and it’s ok to kick them out.

coal lyrics project

Motion has been made & seconded that in absence of CAPSLOCK, coalies in desperate need of a title all pick an appropriate line, phrase, or word from the lyrics of the same song, in hopes we end up writing the whole song.

Current nominations for the song:

1. White Rabbit
2. Africa
3. Sandstorm
4. All Star
5. Never Gonna Give You Up
6. Any of the above, let's see how it shakes out
6. This is stupid, coalies can't agree on anything

Please vote via comment on this thread!

Meanwhile saying things are cringe, even ironically, is the realm of the under-20s.

I love that you took the initiative to do this.

I'm in favor of 5 even though it's obvious because come on, it's hilarious. 6/7(?) will probably be the answer but I can dream.
