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"

I really hope that there isn't some internal way to see how many times I've gone in and edited my story just to fix a word or two. It has to be nearing triple digits at this point.

I didn't say it was jaywalking. It's just disingenuous to pretend that there's not a very clear reason why people misremember that she copy/pasted comments.

I read her previous gifts, and they're completely normal by exchange standards. I assume that anyone who finds her writing quality worth complaining about is her self-trolling at this point.

Exactly this.

I don't care about her writing, I just don't want a gift from her.

Nah, maybe you just have low standards.

Have you tried requesting fandoms with better writers in them?

Re: Treats for fishspeakers' recipient

+1

Like someone else said, her writing is definitely in the bottom 20% of Yuletide. Definitely way below average.

Like what?

This. FS's HP fic was about the same quality as the other mid HP fics in exchanges, but that's one reason why I don't request HP in exchanges.

Ironically, slytherclaw's fic is also very mid.

What, you mean you don't like fic that looks like it was written by the rabbits coalie?

Hi, fishspeakers.

I don't know if FS thinks that, but if she does, for once she's not alone

Which Yuletide fandoms have the best/worst writing? Other than the really tiny ones.

Why is she still writing? Give it up.

The safest way to get a good percentage of good quality exchange fic is get to know the writing of exchange regulars by browsing collections through the year, find your favorites, read their back history so you know what fandoms they post in, and then request the smallest fandoms from whichever good writer signs up to any given exchange.

If you only want big fandom fic this obviously won't work for you.
