And another one!

I see my nemesis getting a fic that I love
And I'm like, "Fuck you" 
I guess my 10k letter wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck morbane, too"
Said, "If I was a long commenter, they woulda gamed for me"
Ha, now ain't that some shit?
(Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still comment it's the best
And runs to coal to shout "Fuck you"

CYRT

Yeah that’s what I mean. Strikes me as very uncharitable and coldly judgemental.

Torn between replying "there's still 7 hours, calm down" and "mood" because my gift isn't in yet either

i literally only read BFE when i go there so i miss all the other drama

It’s never happened to me, but I use recip in case the recip hates the fic and wants to reject. It’s awkward for everyone involved if a rejected gift has “I hope you love this, kelli24546!”

Also some recips are insane and run to coal if you have a generic "Happy holidays" or whatever on a fic where they feel you went ODAO. By not specifically indicating the comment was directed at them (or saying nothing at all) you have given further proof you posted drawer fic.

I continue to be confused as to how here, a community with no moderation and an explicit ethic of not adhering to fandom niceness norms, manages to be so much generally more chill than there.

6 hours to go! Now up to 1050 works in 726 fandoms.

It's partly because we're smaller. Partly because most of the least chill people in fandom refuse to go in unmoderated spaces anymore - what if they saw something hateful and couldn't go yelling to Mod??, so the people left here are mostly the ones who actually know how to self-mod and not encourage trolls.

You still have a week to get porn, nonnie!!

Me: *writes something for Fandom A* Me later: Oh cool someone wrote for Fandom A!

Earlier today I posted a treat that has to go in Madness because it’s less than 1K words

And just now I was looking through the lists of fandoms and I was looking at Yuletide Madness and was like "oh someone wrote for (fandom), cool!" And clicked it to see what the rating is and stuff and I saw the fic I wrote (I was logged in) and was like "oh right. The one I wrote for that fandom. That I posted today. How did I forget"
