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"

Oh, it’s worse than that because I also write arty, carefully-curated fics (especially for Yuletide) but this person writes…not necessarily better ones, but slightly different ones in a way I know I can’t quite mimic? Starting to think I really would be better off writing tropey stuck in a cabin pwp!

I'll chime in to say I'm an artsy-fic person who would be delighted to receive artsy fic, especially if it doesn't match my style, because that's fic I can't write myself! Just write what you're comfortable with and I think it'll be great.

+1 It's not that I don't like other arty styles. I don't write those styles because I can't.

Honestly this increasingly sounds like a meet-cute where the two of you have been secretly admiring each other's work and each thinking yours isn't worthy even though it's exactly what they wish they could write and can't.

I confess, once I went through their back catalog I was surprised we’ve both been in fandom so many years and never crossed over because our tastes and styles are not dissimilar! (I’m the coalie who was hoping maybe I’d become friends with my recipient after the exchange, as has happened before.)
