The question was "would you be happy with a 200 word mediocre fic?"

I answered no, because it would be coal for me. Y'all are being absurdly cult of nice about it.

I am so over that "cult of nice" phrase.

It's called "being polite" and it costs nothing, coalie.

And I hate the "more cake" analogy

I never said I wouldn't be polite if someone gave me coal. I said I wouldn't want the gift and that I'd rather not receive it. As an answer to the question "would you want this?"
