Re: Yuletide crimes

My first ever yuletide (also my first ever fic exchange) I went ODAO. Didn't hit any of the DNWs but also fully centered the fic around an unrequested character (who is a minor character in canon), including the requested characters (one of whom is the canon main character) only as support. My friend who introduced me to yuletide and who beta'ed the fic did not dissuade me from doing this. When I asked her if this was okay, she said it was still within the rules. Which... yeah... but still. The recip was kind enough to leave a kudos and a nice (if generic) thank you comment, but I found out some time later they rejected the gift. Fair enough. I still feel guilty about it sometimes. If you read this, past recip, thank you for being so gracious about it and sorry I was a dumbass! Your prompts were totally doable I just didn't know how exchanges were supposed to go!
