I didn't have time to do a last minute check of my offers before signups closed and I just noticed that in among all the delightful tentacle porn requests there's one person with a Venom letter who said they don't want them shipped. I really do not want to match to that one.

Re: Nervous

ngl, I considered adding a request like that to my letter a couple of days ago just to see how many people dropped the fandom. I don't actually want it, though, and I would've removed the request again before signups closed.

Yeah, darlas_mom was the sole reason I didn't offer or request the fandom. I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed to ask for what they want, but with a fandom like this and a ship like this (which is canon in other versions) I can't help but feel resentful that they're ruining it for others.

Re: Nervous

This is like that other person who was pissed someone asked for one half of a BL pairing, except somehow this thread is even more entitled.

Re: Nervous

I can understand that people can't help resentment, but the idea that someone is "ruining it for everyone" is fucking obnoxious. Just default on the small chance you get that person FFS.

Re: Nervous

ikr? holy fucking shit.

Re: Nervous

Except this person IS requesting both halves of the ship, so no, not the same.

Re: Nervous

[(Anonymous)]

They're the same in that they're both entitled and whiny as fuck over someone else not liking their ship and daring to request what they actually want to receive instead.

Re: Nervous

You have a very low threshold for "whiny as fuck".

Re: Nervous

I would say "someone who DNWs the juggernaut is ruining the exchange for others" definitely counts.

Re: Nervous

Nonsense. Whomever gets them can write 1001 words of gen and then move on to better treats.

Re: Nervous

Newsflash: Not everyone is comfortable with writing shit just to get their assignment out of the way.

Re: Nervous

Anyone who is this salty over a shitty gen prompt in the tentacle porn fandom should have more than enough bile to puke out such a fic quickly.

"this salty"? It was one comment! One!

Did...did you read the thread or...

Re: Nervous

I'm not the OP.

Re: Nervous

OP: literally the only comment I made was that I didn’t want to match them (and I didn’t, so, whatever)
