Re: Confessions

My author got an extension. They wrote me fic. A Harry Potter fic (some names weren't even changed). Bafflingly, they seem to know the actual canon but somehow... did this? Oh, and also hit a DNW. I'm torn between laughing my ass off or contacting the mods. And trying so, so hard not to comment.

Re: Confessions

the numbers of the collections haven't changed, so either it's not in the yuletide collection, or somebody else deleted a fic

Re: Confessions

It was revealed outside of the collection, so it won't show up in the numbers.

Re: Confessions

If it's not part of the collection couldn't it just be a random nonyuletide gift?

Re: Confessions

[(Anonymous)]

It's not; I got one of those "missing gifts" emails from the mods saying that this writer got an extension and the fic will be posted outside of the collection. Judging by the author's notes, it really is supposed to be a Yuletide gift. Just a really spiteful one.

Re: Confessions

DC In that case you should obviously tell the mods about it.

The mods obviously already know about it or they wouldn't have emailed coalie in the first place. Right? Or am I missing something here?

Re: Confessions

[(Anonymous)]

I wonder what the email actually said. I've never heard of anyone getting an extension past reveals before.

Re: Confessions

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think it was an extension. It was that the fic was never approved for the collection, so at author reveals they revealed it from purgatory, which meant the person it was gifted to got a gift notification.

I'm torn between laughing my ass off or contacting the mods.

Maybe do both?

Though if it wasn't revealed in the collection, it's not a YT gift, and the mods probably can't do anything about it, unless it's something the person tried to gift for YT that the mods rejected or something. If it was meant as a YT gift, and the author really did get an extension from the mods, I'd say you should contact the mods about it to let them know what happened.

If it's just a random terrible gift that isn't a YT gift at all, just laugh and reject it.
