These are not equivalent.

A blank sign up is not an offence.

Stop building your premises on the completely false assumption that everyone wants prompts and if a person doesn't give prompts they're withholding something.

Someone who signs up with a blank slate is not being a douchnozzle. They're taking part in a way that is explicitly encouraged and always has been.

Some blank signups are jerk socks, but many blank sign-ups are people who are just giving a fun activity a go in a low-key way. Taking them in bad faith is the douchnozzle move.

Nah. Blank signs-ups are a jerk move. A low-key jerk move, but still a jerk move.

And sulking about what kind of fic you get when you explicitly didn't say what kind of fic you want is a massive jerk move.

You should not give people a gift in bad faith because you do not like their sign up.

Writing what you want and not guessing at their likes when they DID NOT FUCKING TELL YOU their likes isn't "a gift in bad faith".

Put in some optional details, and you'll have a better chance at getting a gift you enjoy. Everyone with two brain cells should be able to figure that out.

Nobody is fucking asking you to guess at their fucking likes!!!!

Re: jeez louise

"Guessing at their likes" and "not writing extreme unasked for kink" are like, really different.

Re: jeez louise

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly. Like I get that people are having weird amounts of trouble understanding what is and isn't kink, like where omegaverse falls on this line, but surely this basic concept itself is not that hard to grasp?

Re: jeez louise

It's not, people are just really dedicated to their "right" to be spiteful assholes.

Re: jeez louise

Who is sulking? Where is this happening? I feel like you're referring to something highly specific.

And this is going to come across like a throwaway slapfight line, but I mean it very sincerely: I do not think you should be doing Yuletide, the optional details are optional exchange, if you think that a blank signup is a jerk move.

i'm gonna be honest, you shouldn't do exchanges. you seem like a really spiteful person.
