My assigned author still hasn't read my letter yet

[(Anonymous)]

I have a tracking code installed on the site where my letter is, and I haven't had any visitors since assignments went out. =(

They might have read it before

Tracking blockers exist. Also, if I were your author and noticed you were tracking, I'd default instantly.

LOL.

I also have tracking on my letter (bc I’m nosey) but because of that, I block all trackers. Lots of people have basic browser tracking blocking so they and many others have probably looked but just don’t ping. The best way to get a true hitcount is to use an image site that tracks impressions since those only get blocked if their disable all images.

I don’t read letters. If it’s not in the sign-up, too bad.

DC I mean, it's valid. There's nothing saying an author must read the letter, is there?

+1 It's optional on top of something that's already optional. I'm not saying I don't read letters, because I do, but I will admit that I'm having a less stressful Yuletide this year with a recipient who didn't bother.

I assume you also never thank your author for a gift.

+1 letters are so boring; they're my least favorite part of exchange culture.

neither I nor my recip wrote a letter this year, and I am very pleased by both of those things!

Have you tried being less neurotic?

That's what you get for trying to spy on Santa. A Krampus will be dispatched to your location.

I haven't looked at my recip's letter since before assignments went out. Why? Because I'm in the middle of writing something else for a different exchange with a rapidly approaching deadline, and I don't want to get distracted!

I read my recip's letter before assignments went out. I'll read it again when I start writing, but that's not gonna be for some time.
