Re: Do you default because you want your recip to have a better fic?

[(Anonymous)]

Your recip didn't sign up to get a brilliant fic by their favorite writer, coalie. They signed up to get 1000 words from a random schmuck of unknown ability.

To use a food metaphor, it's like not wanting to invite your friends over for dinner because you think you're a terrible cook and they deserve better.

If you uninvite them, it's not like Gordon Ramsay is going to cook dinner for them instead. Probably some other random friend will cook dinner for them.

If you can put an edible meal on the table, congrats, you have successfully fed people! If they wanted Gordon Ramsay level cooking, they can actually go to a Gordon Ramsay restaurant instead. Yuletide is not about fancy cordon bleu, it's about the joy of a shared meal.
