So my recipient for chocolateboxcomm  has such a great letter that I think I'll be writing them more than one treat. The only other time I did an exchange I was assigned my NoTP because it was completely random and it was like pulling teeth. (I loathe pairings where the girl is all HELL NO and people refuse to take her word for it. :/) I think I'll just write treats instead of committing to more low pressure exchanges like maythe4thbewithyou  (which has signups open now!) because I should really clear my backlog of projects first, but I just wanted to share about being happy I tried an exchange again. :D

Also, feel free to comment more on the meme entry. Sorry replies were delayed- was out playing in the snow on the weekend and then LJ kept crashing my internet every time I tried to comment (either on my entry or other's). I cleared my Chrome cache and it seems to have resolved the issue for now. :)

Man, I need to get moving on my Chocolate Box assignment! I have a bunch of ideas, and now I need to narrow it down to one. I'm also hoping to write a few treats.

I agree with you that I dislike pairings where characters in canon are obviously trying to get a girl to hook up with someone she loathes or who is just constantly a dick to her. Like, seriously, let her make her own romantic decisions. I think she knows who is good for her and who isn't.

I get the societal construct, so I understand why people feel the pull of ships like that, but it was really something I Did Not Want. Looking back, I wish the mod running the exchange had taken preferences into consideration and paired up people based on ship preferences. I'm really impressed with first hand evidence of how organized an exchange can be! :D

it was completely random

D:

As an exchange mod, I am appalled.

Yeah, it put me off exchanges. XD I think the mod was not an exchange veteran who had any understanding of YKINMK.
