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"

There's no proof she has ADHD, just that she takes ADHD meds. A lot of people without ADHD take them recreationally. No one with ADHD would say "pop an addy."

Unironically DARE damage lmao

Do you actually know anyone with ADHD? Because yeah we would.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-23 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, and it's colonialism to say that Asian cultures need to adopt Western (read: American) standards of drugs use.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-23 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
do you

know

the history

of why they got banned

lol

I know. Her writing is...not great. She should spend less time doing drugs and more time finding a beta.

None of my neurodivergent friends say this.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-23 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
So you're neurotypical and speaking for all ADHD people because you've got an ADHD friend?

Hahahahahahahah ahahahahahahaha. Ha.

Americans think that if you're even slightly uncomfortable with people talking about taking drugs in every context, it must be because of that American government anti-drug promo or whatever it is that of course we should all know about, and we're also condoning American government using anti-drugs laws as an excuse to arrest more people and force them to work as slaves. Or whatever that stupid country does.

As other nonny said, it's colonialism. Specifically:

they probably think colonialism is good actually in this case because it restricted those nasty evil drugses

(Anonymous) 2023-12-23 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Also, their stories are all OOC. Probably because they didn't bother to finish the canon.

You're definitely not American, you just have the vapors exactly like an American would. Sure, Jan!

(Anonymous) 2023-12-23 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never been to America in my life, but I'll take it as a compliment because it means my English is good.

Sure. It's not like I never write drunk. It's also possible to write good fic while you're in class, and I've done that all the time when I was at uni, no regrets. But when it's gift fic, the recip deserves 100% of your undivided full attention going into the writing, and if you blatantly announce that you can't do that, you're a dick.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-23 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Or bad, depending how you look at it.

The British Empire introduced opium on purpose in its colonies, to make the population addicted to something only them could give to them.

I'm not even uncomfortable with people doing drugs. I think personal drug use should be legal, just like getting drunk is. That has nothing to do with whether it's rude to say you wrote a gift fic while on drugs.

Re: Is there a list of punch hitters?

Not of all pinch hitters, but there's a post where pinch hitters who didn't sign up can put requests to get a treat:

Morbane said in chat she just unscreened a couple new ones fyi. I'm glad she said something, because DW doesn't send tracking notifs for those and I hadn't seen them.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-23 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
True! But my mistakes are more things like using the wrong preposition, not writing "your" instead of "you're".

All the stuff people commonly do to lower expectations on their fic and make themselves feel better if readers don’t respond to it (“I wrote this in class” “not beta read we die like men” “lol I wrote this high” “I don’t really know the show but I wrote this anyway!”) all come across really rudely when they’re attached to a gift. If someone handed you a knitted gift and said “sorry I’m a terrible knitter and I know it’s bad,” you would then have to say “no, it looks great, you’re really good!” out of politeness. Those kind of tags/notes make it all about the author and it’s not fair to the recipient.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-23 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
This is extra wild when you're literally pissing and moaning about someone with ADHD saying they took their meds to write the fic.

Do you want their attention or don't you?

WHO'S STILL WRITING
