Re: Unpopular Opinion Time

(Also a lot of people enjoy giving and prompting and taking part in an event for its own sake. If I was only in it for the personal gift and found everything else unpleasant, yeah, I would quit!)

Yeah, I'm not really even in it for my personal gift at all; that's just an extra bonus that gets thrown in on top of the part I most enjoy, which is writing for other people's prompts. So if my gift sucks, eh, whatever, if it's mid that's nice enough, and if it's great that's an unexpected lottery win. Often I don't even sign up at all and just treat, so the years that I do sign up are ones where my fandoms are so tiny or so beloved to me that just generating any new fic for the fandom that's not actively terrible feels like a win. (Plus I always have the hope that people just seeing my requests or that there's a fic for X fandom in the collection will be reminded it exists and that might generate a tiny bit more future interest in the fandom.) The quality of my personal gift is of course nice when it's great, but it's not a major dealbreaker when it's not.
