Coalies begging for a new post are like cats yowling for a door to be opened. Once they get what they were crying for they show no actual interest in using it.

You think cats yowl at a door because they want to get out? No, they want us to open it so the thing outside can come in.

looks like fandom trees might open on time, hope so to avoid wankers like sweet sorcery and tarlan showing up.

(Anonymous) 2024-01-09 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I know all about SweetSorcery and their bullshit, but who is Tarlan and what's the deal with them?

(Anonymous) 2024-01-09 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
think that's the person who used to give graphics no one wanted and then had a weird "social experiment" meltdown in the feedback post of fandom stocking one year

It isn't going to happen because SweetSorcery has a fandom BFF who would probably write for her, but I really would like it if SS were the last person to get a gift in an exchange/etc one day, just for the irony.

I would support the mod holding up the collection until she got a gift. But I want her to experience how that feels.

nc

They're the person who used to give really low-quality wallpapers and then delete the gifts after a certain amount of time. Which is technically breaking the rules and they are lucky that they never got banned for that.

(Anonymous) 2024-01-09 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
+1 to that.

Though it won't likely happen this round, because I'm pretty sure SweetSorcery has 2 gifts now.

A little less participation than last year. Any ideas for why there’s a dip?

seems to be a ton more pinch hits too

No? This year has 38 IPHs from 505 signups; last year had 42 / 561. Seems pretty consistent.

I think that's probably pretty normal for the second year of any exchange. People get exited about taking part the first time around, then the buzz dies down a bit second time out. I figure there's probably always some natural churn of people who had an unsatisfying experience last time for whatever individual reason (too close to Yuletide for them to juggle, were hoping to see different writers in their fandoms and didn't, just got a crap gift and lost enthusiasm) and then without the boost of it being a new and shiny exchange in its first year you don't get quite enough new people being drawn in to balance that out.

CYRT Fair enough! I myself didn't sign up last year because I didn't realize that there was an alternate to Chocolate Box in time. I'm still a little sad that it looks like Chocolate Box is gone even if this is functionally the same.
