Don't Stop Coal Now!

[coalcube]

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real coal time
I feel alive
And the exchange I'll turn it inside out, yeah
I'm floating around in agony
So, (don't stop me now)
(Don't stop me)
'Cause I'm having a coal time, having a coal time~

Tag yourself, competitive edition

[(Anonymous)]

Tag yourself

1. My recipient has n = 1 gift and therefore it’s the best and the worst
2. My recipient has n > 1 gifts and I know mine is the best
3. My recipient has n > 1 gifts and I know mine is the worst
4. My recipient has n > 2 gifts and it’s not the best BUT it’s not the worst
5. My recipient has n > 2 gifts and it’s not the worst BUT it’s not the best (glass half-empty version of 4)
6. My recipient has n > 1 gifts and I’m too afraid to check the other fics to see if I’m the best/worst

Also it's the best and worst fic in the fandom this year! Same reason.

Re: Tag yourself, competitive edition

Woohoo! If you write another fic for the fandom, you’ll still be the best and worst!

And *still* not wrangled. Not that I'm getting bitter about it or anything.

6. /o\ I want to try to get over this in time to comment on my recip's other gift, but if it really is better than mine, I'm going to have to crawl into a hole and dig up some worms to eat.

I’m in your boat, coalie, although I don’t know if I’ll be able to get over it.

7. My recipient has n > 1 gifts and I've read the other one but the fics are so different I can't tell which is worst, so I'm just dithering in insecure uncertainty.

OI’m sorry I didn’t think of this scenario for you, coalie!! But then being vastly different might turn out in your favor :)

Re: Tag yourself, competitive edition

LOL no worries. And maybe! Fingers crossed!

8. My recipient has gifts in n>1 fandoms, and I wrote both the best and the worst in the fandom I recognize.

Re: Tag yourself, competitive edition

[(Anonymous)]

Oops I forgot people request more than one fandom. This is still a good situation tho! Nothing like having no one to compare to but yourself.

Re: Tag yourself, competitive edition

[(Anonymous)]

Ha! Closest to six, though I’ll look eventually.

I did write the best and worst fic in the fandom, though!

2 and the fact commenters disagree irks me :)

Re: Tag yourself, competitive edition

[(Anonymous)]

How do you know they disagree?!

Re: Tag yourself, competitive edition

(sa bc other fic has more comments)

Re: Tag yourself, competitive edition

6a. My recip's other gift contains a massive squick of mine, so I can't read it to see whether it's better than mine or not. I shall simply sit here and stew in nervousness!
