Re: Can anyone tell which was the assignment and which was the treat?

Look, I don't normally care if my author ends up writing longer stories for other people; I might check to see what else they've written if I loved my gift, but most of the time, it's not even in my brain to compare since if I enjoyed my gift, who cares? But that year, I could tell my gift was an afterthought when they completely breezed past my likes and prompts to write almost exactly 1000 words of the blandest gen that stopped when it hit word count and turned it in right at deadline, whereas the tagged treat was almost three times as long. That's why I checked at reveals - I wondered if they'd just overcommitted and taken on too many pinch hits or something.
