Re: Dear Assigned Author

I know this probably came off as saying-it-just-to-say-it in my letter, but despite the absurd length of my optional details, I meant it: 1k of whatever you want to write me, and we're good. Even if you're karrenia_rune, I promise to do my absolute best to leave you a reasonably substantial comment that discusses something I liked about your gift for me without lying. *thumbs up*

karrenia_rune - they've never written me a gift, but they're mildly infamous on FFA for a variety of things, including having sometimes signed gifts with their username in the past before author reveals (though they seem to have cut that out recently, at least), failing to fulfill requests appropriately (writing pairing fic with an original character for a gen exchange, IIRC? Something along those lines), and ... let's just say I wish they had a better beta, if they're going to keep signing up for exchanges.

But as far as I know, they're a decent and earnest person who just doesn't really know what they're doing, and now I feel sort of petty. /o\ I would try to write them a good comment, though.

Oh dear. I just had a flash of second-hand embarrassment.
