Re: Hot take time: are socks bad?

[(Anonymous)]

if I get a gift fic and it's coal, I'm going to slant my comment differently if it's a newb doing their best vs. someone's lazy sock. If I can tell

When I started writing fic and had exactly two fics to my name, I signed up for Yuletide and people assumed I was a sock. I wasn't; I just had no previous fandom presence. However, I've been writing since I was a kid and I'd been reading fic for a few years, so I didn't come off all wide-eyed. I don't think there's ever a good way of sussing this out. Coal is coal. Be mean or don't be mean. You don't really need to develop... tiers of response??

Look some of us are neurotic about comments that's just how it is?

There's neuroses and then there's neuroses.

Are you saying "not wanting to accidentally destroy a beginner who didn't know" is a sign of extra super neurosis? Wow.

Re: Hot take time: are socks bad?

I'm saying destroying anybody is certainly a choice.

Have you been on coal

Destroying anyone to their face/in the comments of the actual fic is definitely different than here. Have you been on coal?

I mean, I was thinking more that some minor passive-aggressiveness that a longtime coalie with twelve socks is going to brush off might be a critical hit on a newbie who only has 10 HP, not that I go around intentionally destroying people.

I've been on FFA, I know that the 12-socker will still be talking about the minor passive-aggressiveness in 2031.
