what it says on the tin

Well, we mentioned Beatrice Otter before, pompous wanker and flagrant spiteficcer.

And also Untherius. Weird and not in a good way.

There's always kittydesade, the origin of the term kittyfic, who's infamous for snapping up pinch hits and writing super generic fic without actually knowing anything about the canon beyond wiki articles.

See discussion of kittydesade (as well as FlipFlop_Diva, Untherius, and Wook77) on the f_fa wiki here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160811220948/http://failfandomanonwiki.pbworks.com/w/page/101645944/Perennial%20Yuletide%20Wankers

How many years did kittydesade do Yuletide?

2009 through 2012, so four.

flipflopdiva. Serial non commenter. Just checked her ao3 page, and yep, still not commenting on gifts.

Yup. We share several fandoms, and I haaaate seeing her name in my assignment inbox. At least the last time, fandom as a whole really loved the fic and gave me nice comments.

You gotta game against her

The problem is that we share OTPs, so my only option is to try to find a different fandom I'm comfortable enough writing, which isn't always easy. Especially where there are good prompts for our OTP from other folks.

Mods tend to be sympathetic to Do Not Match requests.

I might try that next time; thanks!

The one who threatened suicide if they didn’t get a supernatural crossover

deets?

Comments on coal/FFA but here's the letter and comments.

It made me extremely grateful that I didn't get anyone like them for my first Yuletide.

thanks! that's horrific.

That was a wild ride

My favourite part of that one was that their writer that year apparently matched on and wrote for a different fandom, didn't scroll down in the letter, and so didn't find out about any of the wank until afterwards.

That honestly makes it ten times better.

The Watson sisters

???

They defended the Gay Bashing Dragon author, didn't they?
