And another one!

[coalcube]

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"

She probably hopes her recip doesn't go here/on FFA and will tell her how good her fic is.

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

Nothing, she just said she's going to Starbucks to write and the sentence sounded better like that.

Re: Treats for fishspeakers' recipient

Is it? It seems more middling to me at a skim.

Re: Treats for fishspeakers' recipient

Maybe for something like HP fanfic, which is already below average.

I hope there isn't because I haven't touched it since it was uploaded a month and a half ago

Treat about a trio with poly-triad subtext becoming poly-triad text? #1 and #2 are already a couple, they don't full-on hook up with #3 by the end of the fic, but they sort out enough interpersonal problems for an invitation to be made and accepted.

yeah the replies to this are pretty rich considering every year on coal and elsewhere I see people losing their entire minds over not getting a recipient comment within 48 hours

that said I see people like “my recipient said they’d be away but maybe that was just to cover in case they hated it” so you really can’t win

I doubt they write in my fandoms, so it's not a situation I have to worry about, but your assumption is that the minimum word count fic is good, and very often that's not the case. And I'd sure rather have ten times the minimum of whatever quality than minimum word count fic someone dashed off.

Re: WHO'S STILL WRITING

I’m not writing anymore!! Fic more than doubled in length, porn achieved, I’m going to stop messing with it and go live my holiday life, whew.

Lol, I just realized someone is doing just that after those comments. Good job coal.

Re: Treats for fishspeakers' recipient

Anyone minimum's wordcount fic would be better than her fic.

Re: Help I need a title

That makes me very happy and I hope you manage it -- I'm cheering you on from the sidelines!

In what may be the first time occurrence since I started doing Yuletide treats, I have actually finished my treat several hours ahead of the deadline instead of finishing it in a fever dream in the middle of the night desperately hoping it gets posted before the cutoff.

Re: WHO'S STILL WRITING

[(Anonymous)]

Just finished that short extra scene that really ties the room fic together. Finally, I'm satisfied...except I could use a better summary...

Re: Treats for fishspeakers' recipient

This is FS and I claim my 5 pounds.

Evidence: OTT putting down of FS fic as "the worst ever omg pay attention to me look at me I'm unique" in an exchange that annually has colossal wanks and/or staggeringly WTF fic instead of fic that wouldn't have generated any comment at all had it not been for the self-trolling surrounding it consisting of... OTT putting herself down.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like that recent thread is them trolling again in a gross masochistic self-harm way, and coalies enabling their weird kink. Jesus it's embarrassing.
