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"

You're welcome

You may all write me a treat to commemorate this wondrous occasion.

Tell us your fandoms, coalie!

- FFA anon who is SO GLAD this is finally over

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

So do we think she'll continue to brazen it out or leave and try again later with another account?

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

If I was her, I'd just leave and try again. There's really no brazing out "I lied repeatedly on coal and elsewhere for attention" especially when people are spreading the word in the exchange community.

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

If I were her, I would delete my account while I still have a tiny shred of dignity left.

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

Proposition to Morbane when you get here:

fishspeakers is obviously writing deliberately poorly as part of the bit, so you should get an EPH for their Yuletide recip now that it's out of the bag.

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

Or in case they spite-delete their fic at the last minute because of this fail.

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think she's writing deliberately poorly, but I definitely think Yuletide mods should keep an eye on her. Actually, I hope exchange mods will ban her for future exchanges under the generic "don't be an asshole" rule.

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

I’m certainly never giving her pinch hits, probably never letting her sign up / different exchange mod

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

I felt so bad for her Fic in the Box recips. Her gifts were absolute ass, and they absolutely deserved better.

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

I feel so vindicated because I linked a few comments and discord messages on FFA that made me think they were self trolling and I got screened lol I hadn't engaged much at all in any of the previous threads I just lurk too much! What a gift of an anonfail

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

FFA mods love to screen things.

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

You too, huh? The first comment I ever made in that wank was a guess that they’re self-trolling, and it got deleted.

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

Do you still have the links? I saw most of the wank, but I may have missed some of the fun.

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, but is anybody going to mention the improbability of accidentally anonfailing with a journal that ISN’T EVEN IN USE?

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

I never use my dreamwidth for anything but yuletide letters once a year and I'm often logged into it to view 18+ comms/entries without having to click 9,000 times. I don't think it's improbable at all.

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

Nah. rarely update my journal either, but I'm always logged in because I want to avoid the adult content screen and sometimes I comment on friends' posts.

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

So you think it's someone else? Maybe if it was a new account created for a joke, but the screenshot shows the journal was made in 2018, so unless they paid for a namechange it seems legit

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

*old man yelling at at FFA* I tried to tell you! And you didn't listen!

This is especially hilarious in retrospect because fishspeakers replied to me and I called her out, but now it's even more obvious that it was her:

https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/623394.html?thread=3833289250#cmt3833289250

And this is where I tried to explain myself in a way that wouldn't have got me frozen (very hard, but it was worth it because a few nonnies got what I meant and they made me happy):

https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/623394.html?thread=3833330466#cmt3833330466

Well, this day is definitely an early happy Yuletide for me!

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

LOL that second thread is hilarious. Good job nonnie. I don't think I replied in those threads, but I was pretty persuaded by the two fics argument. Plus the very weird vibes.

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

What I'm getting from all the discussion above is that something is perhaps sus with at least one FFA mod if they were not only freezing but actively screening nonnies identifying that fishspeakers was self-trolling.

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

Omg stop posting on Discord. Nobody wants your last minute Starbucks fic!

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, oof. I don't remember if I wrote anything defending her in any of the threads, but I was considering writing her a Laurie/Dan/Rorschach fic 'cause I felt bad for her and I just like the ship. Didn't get around to it though because of time management issues. My AuDHD saved me for once, I guess!

Re: fishspeakers anonfail

[(Anonymous)]

i still think about this wank sometimes. bafflingly insane behavior. and over watchmen ships of all things!
