coaltide | Morbane's coal

In quantum wankchanics, Morbane's coal is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, of quantum wankerposition. In the thought experiment, a hypothetical gift may be considered simultaneously both the fic of your dreams (TFOYD) and coal, while it is unread state, as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur.

The Coaltide interpretation implies that, after a while, the gift is simultaneously TFOYD and coal. Yet, when a coalie clicks on their gift, the coalie sees the gift either TFOYD or coal, not both TFOYD and coal. This poses the question of when exactly quantum wankerposition ends and reality resolves into one possibility or the other.

It's not you. It's not your fic. It still sucks.

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah :( i wrote a longer multichap, over-10k fic and i KNOW some people just don't have the time for that, but i still crave interactions. please. please talk to me.

Maybe they're waiting to be sure you're not FS?

*hugs of solidarity*

almost certainly this, but it still huuurts

My condolences. :( I've already read all the over-10k fic in fandoms I know, alas. I always start with the longfic after I hit my own gift(s).

I got assigned a recip who I knew wouldn't comment based on their exchange history, but who I did expect kudos from (also based on history). it's crickets thus far. I know it's not my fault but it still sucks. :(

Well, looks like I wrote a treat for a defaulter.

At least other people liked it?

Life happens, coalie.

CYRT

Yeah, I hope they're okay

My recip still hasn’t commented or kudosed :( and checking their previous gifts, they commented pretty quickly on those. Yes I know life exists and people have stuff to do. But also I wrote a main gift and some treats for them and to have not a single one get acknowledged by the recip sucks. They didn’t say anything on the afk post.

(It seems they defaulted on Yuletide, but they did post a gift in December for a different exchange)

At least the other people I wrote treats for liked their treats, and I’m very happy for that. And other people commented on the main recipe’s gifts and liked them, but still.

Treat recip didn't comment, and probably didn't like it, which is definitely on me for not reading their request closely enough. It would be great if they could just reject it and I can move on, because I'm proud of the fic and it has some great comments that have made me happy - just not from the recip.

For treats that are not assignments, it is still grounds for a ban if you remove the recipient from the fic?

(How would the mods tell?)

mine gave me kudos on the first day and then… crickets. i’ve had a nice amount of comments from other people - way more than i was expecting honestly - but it makes me sad not to even hear a “thank you!”
and i know i know life happens. i had Covid over Christmas and didn’t comment until a few days in. but I just wish I’d heard something.
