Huh, that fic I loved and enthusiastically recced was by an author whose work I've always disliked. I guess they just needed to write in the right fandom.

I recognized my author's style right away and was thrilled that it did turn out to be them. They are a mutual and an amazing writer!

There's only one author who writes for this fandom in exchanges and I was sure it was them because of that, and I was excited because I liked the yuletide fic. Reveals happened and oh. It's not them. Happy that a new author wrote this fandom but unhappy that I still don't jive with the other author's style.

I’m confused (and bored).

A usually writes in the fandom and you don’t like their fic. You liked the fic this time and were happy….then you saw B wrote it, which is cool because yay new person, but you are sad you still dislike A’s fic (since A is so prolific?)?

DC Yeah, I think they were pleased because they thought A was capable of writing something they actually liked. And now they are disappointed because no, A is still yet to write anything for their shared fandom that coalie can enjoy.

Yeah, it's clear to me.
