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~

Re: Dear Recipient,

Well, now you've got me second-guessing myself. I didn't think I had, but maybe I misinterpreted something from the letter. If so, I'm sorry for the coal.

Fuck, maybe it was me. I can see how I might have misread the letter, because I was thinking the DNW was about how the canon starts and not how it ends. Well, coalie, maybe I'm barking up the wrong disappointed tree, but I'm gonna see if I can write you another fic. Might take a while because I really do not have the brain for it at the moment, but if reveals roll around and your gift is from orphan_account, then know there's a good chance it *was* me and I'm going to take a second run at your prompt later.

In the meanwhile, sorry for fucking up Yuletide.

It might also not be me!!! And even if it is, I like other things about the gift.

yeah, if it is me, giving my letter another reread and thinking about it some more, I can see how it was ambiguous and I think what's in the gift doesn't bug me the way what I was envisioning when I wrote the DNW.

But who knows.

OP

Well, *somebody's* getting a second fic later. I kinda hope it's you, because you've been pretty chill about this.

My recip has now left not one but two comments, so if that's you, thank you so much and I'm a bit embarrassed now that I did orphan the fic in a fit of anxiety, but I'll still try to write you something else. If you have not left two comments for your writer, then I'm sorry you had these troubles with a different fic.

DA

Please don't be so quick to orphan your fic next time!

Re: Dear Recipient,

Whatever happens, coalie, I hope you’ll at least stick it in anon rather than orphaning in case you want to take it back later.

Re: Dear Recipient,

[(Anonymous)]

Don’t orphan your fic because of something that vague. Get a friend to give a late second opinion.
