flipflopdiva and Trialia both seem unremarkable in recent years.

Are they still participating or did they just stop thanks to the wankery?

I'm pretty sure I saw both of them while scrolling on the app!

Trialia remembered to sign up early this year!

I didn't know even know trialia was wanky.

More whiny in Discord than wanky because of fic writing behavior.

Trialia was unbearable in IRC before Discord was a glimmer in a software developer's eye.

IMO she's just kind of annoying. For someone to be wanky I think they have to have a level of spite or audacity that she doesn't have.

I feel like repeatedly making a big deal about her chronic medical issues in chat when people were asking her not to do that was wanky. So was swanning in late expecting to be catered to when all the rest of us with chronic medical issues managed to deal with the schedule. Both took a level of audacity and lack of consideration for other participants and the mods.

Flipflop_diva continues to not comment on any gift works, which is half of their wanky reputation in the first place.

By this stage their noncommenting seems more like outright defiance, thumbing their nose at exchange social norms for the sake of it. They've been called out multiple times but don't seem to care.

The other half is how shitty their fics are.

No, the other half was countless eternal placeholder letters. Now they seem to do a basic generic letter for most things, which is a huge improvement IMO.

Some of the fics were bland and mediocre, but there were a few that were quite decent.

They wrote me a nice gift once that I really enjoyed. I still wouldn't write for them though.

NC

I actually had a lot of fun writing for them once. They signed up at the last minute and I was unable to game away and I didn't know about "do not match" requests at the time. So, I decided to write the fic of MY heart while avoiding their DNWs since I knew they were not going to comment. It's one of the best fics I've ever written IMO, and got some lovely non-recip comments, too!

Nah, most of her fics are bad.

She wrote me unreadable crap.

Alas, many exchange participants have eternal placeholder letters. Few of them were ruled wanky by the court of public opinion.

At the moment flipflop_diva's letter (Gdocs) is still locked...

There are some prompts and general likes/DNWs in her sign-up, at least...

FFD still doesn't comment.
