winter_blossom kindly informed me that the Make Me Feel collection had gone live, without my fic. I tried to DM them on Twitter, but ... the fest/collection account can't be messaged? The fuck is that. Replying to a tweet with a "hey my fic didn't post" would eliminate the anonymity (probably disqualifying me from the exchange). And their alternate contact means is via a social media site I'm not on, so I'd have to create an account just for that? No? And the email I sent them last week was never answered, so no point there.

So here it is now! *emoji shrug* ENJOY!

That sounds beyond frustrating, especially after the delay and everything. And you can't contact the mod? I would be fuming too.

[clevermanka]

It's just so pointlessly rude. Not just the lack of response, but the limited way for contact in the first place. I don't get it.

[ranalore]

...Wow. WOW. I wonder if this is retaliation for you having the temerity to email them in the first place. That sounds about the maturity level you're dealing with. I'm so sorry.

On the other hand, now you have given Guardian fandom a virgin!Zhao Yunlan fic? Which I'm very excited to read.

[clevermanka]

I don't wanna assume malice when it could just be negligence, but it is very definitely rude.

YOU'RE WELCOME, GUARDIAN FANDOM! Although surely, surely I'm not the first to write virgin!Zhao Yunlan???

[ranalore]

That's true. Given the issues AO3 has been having, it might be there was a glitch? But they've given you no way to find out, especially if they haven't replied to your earlier attempt at communication.

I actually haven't checked, so I don't know how many virgin!Zhao Yunlan stories are out there. I'm certain it's not as big a category as virgin!Shen Wei, though.

[winter_blossom]

I think ZYL in the Changes series was implied to be a virgin? Apart from that, I don't remember ever having seen another example, and boy have I read way too much smut for this fandom XD

Edit: Oh, right, and one of the recent posts on merit_brush_recs reminded me: The Singer, too, iirc.

[clevermanka]

Oh, The Singer is SO GOOD. <3

boy have I read way too much smut for this fandom
NONSENSE
