Yeah, ODAO and all but if you didn't give any indication that you wanted a plotless character study I wouldn't describe that as earnest either. I'm willing to give my author the benefit of the doubt because they did clumsily touch on some things I prompted in the 1001 words they gave me and I'm not owed a good fic, but it was still disappointing. Hope we both have better luck this year!
