Unbelievable!

[tigriswolf]

I cannot comprehend some of the things people ask for at spnstoryfinders .  Honestly! I know everybody has their things, but still. *shudders* 

And they DON'T PUT IT BEHIND THE CUT.

I really enjoy rejecting submissions. Does that make me a bad person?

lol ... of course, now you have me wondering about the requests that get rejected.

And no, that definitely doesn't make you a bad person. I don't imagine it's an easy job but I, for one, appreciate the time and effort you put into it, even though you do have to read some strange requests. Thanks! :)

[tigriswolf]

Thank you so much!

Generally, they're rejected for not following the guidelines about subject lines and capitalizing, but if a request is disturbing, it needs to go behind a cut.

[extraonions.livejournal.com]

Now you make me want to start requesting the skankiest, most questionable things imaginable :P.

[tigriswolf]

You'd probably get rejected. Is that a problem?

[extraonions.livejournal.com]

Not so long as I amuse you ;).

[tigriswolf]

Okay! Submit away.

I usually get my Massive Eyeroll of the Day from the stuff that makes it through the screening process. (Fic involving the boys wearing adult diapers is one of my particular favorites.) I'm not sure I'd want even a glimpse of the stuff you turn down.

[tigriswolf]

Wait, some of those got through? The diaper-guy was a troll with multiple journals. I thought we'd deleted them all.

Darn.

[ficwriter1966.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I'm gonna say I saw it maybe 2 weeks ago?

[tigriswolf]

Okay, then yeah. We dealt with that.

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

LOL, I can't even stand to go there unless I get a weird amount of random hits on a story and suspect someone's requested it. (No offense to you, of course.) :P

[tigriswolf]

Yeah, trust me, no offense taken.

I sometimes scroll through, on the offchance there's something I'd like. What's weird is, whenever I request something, it's like no one knows what I'm talking about, even though other searches that MAKE NO SENSE get oodles of replies! It'd give a complex if I weren't so... me.

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

LOL, I can't imagine you ever having a complex. You're just so sweet.

I get turned off by all the bottom!Sam and bottom!Jared requests. I honestly never had a preference, but since people started saying stories had to have that, I purposely won't write or read it. I love that I'm so pig-headed. LOL.

Here, haz a bunny.

[tigriswolf]

Aww.

But I'm not sweet! I'm dark and twisted, and no one believes me.

I have no preference, either. I don't understand choosing not to read an entire fic just because of that.

Of course, I won't read a Nate/Eliot fic, so whatever.

Bunny! *snuggles*

[cattraine.livejournal.com]

I'll admit that I have thought of dropping the comm several times because of the lack of a cut--some of the requests really squicked me. And yeah, the diaper guy got through several times. *shudders* Talk about my troll alarm screeching!

[tigriswolf]

There's about four of us, so those who accepted his submissions didn't realize he'd already submitted.

Yeah, sometimes I'm like WTF? Really?

[cormallen.livejournal.com]

I'm looking at the most recent entries, and someone's requested a little set of stuff (1-4) that would make a ridiculously cracky and horrifying fic were the tropes combined. I ALMOST WANT TO SEE IT.

[tigriswolf]

*hee*

Also, that icon! *giggles*

[alieneyes.livejournal.com]

No it does not make you a bad person. I regularly laugh at some of the requests people have. Especially requests that are prefaced by "I'm sooooo embarrassed but I want blah blah blah." or "I know this is TOTALLY WEIRD to want but can I have blah blah blah".

As though stating you want pickle rape non-con daddy-cest posession with rabbits and evil!Sam/submissive!Dean in the vain of Two Girls/One Cup will be justified if you're even the least bit embarrassed that you want it.

So no, you're not bad. You're good.

[tigriswolf]

Aww, thanks!

[henchgirl.livejournal.com]

you are cruel.

not because you enjoy rejecting submissions, but because now i'm going to be wondering about those ejected submissions ALL THE TIME.

[tigriswolf]

*cackles*

[acarbonatedgirl.livejournal.com]

No. It's like editing papers for people I vaguely know, knowing they'll about cry at the array of marks on it and not caring because goddammit, someone needs to put them down.

That and some of those are just so WTF you have to do it.

[tigriswolf]

I generally don't reject just because of whatever the request is(though, sometimes, I really REALLY want to, oh my GOD). There has to be other factors, like a missing cut or subject line or lack of BASIC GRAMMAR.

And, sometimes, I just want to bash my head into the wall because, HOLY FUCKING SHIT, what are you looking for?

[acarbonatedgirl.livejournal.com]

Oh dearlord, grammar. =shudder= If you think the internet is bad, guh. It's not hard to read rules, y'know?

How do you mod that comm without a bottle of alcohol and a shot glass? That could be a drinking game.

[tigriswolf]

*hee* I don't like the taste of alcohol, so it's easy.

[caffienekitty]

You have been on my f-list forever, dude. How did I not know you are a mod at spnstoryfinders?

I really enjoy rejecting submissions. Does that make me a bad person?

I would say 'No' on that. :-)

[tigriswolf]

I don't talk about it much. *shrugs*

[caffienekitty]

Ah. Because you are a creature of mist and shadows, yes?

[tigriswolf]

I am an enigma wrapped in a mystery surrounded by a conundrum, yes. Haven't you noticed that yet?

[caffienekitty]

Well I would have except you're so darned enigmatic it slipped right past me.

[tigriswolf]

Ah, good to know my plan is working, then!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

And also, I can pretty much guess what a certain person ( two actually ) is going to ask for once I see her name lol.

[tigriswolf]

Like, a repeat offender?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Yup.

[redfirecracker.livejournal.com]

At least you didn't have to respond to someone who asked for your story by saying, "hi, thanks for asking but this story of mine SUCKS, please don't read it"! :)

Dunno if that makes you feel better or not. Mostly I'm trying to make you laugh.

[tigriswolf]

*snickers*

[ratherbe4gotten.livejournal.com]

OMG some of the stuff we get scares the crap out of me. For the most I'm fairly unshock/squickable, but sometimes... >.<

To be honest 99% of the time I don't care what people are looking for, whatever floats their boat, but the lack of proofreading makes me shudder!

What freaks me out more is that no matter HOW scary the prompt is there is always someone out there who will have fic to offer up.

[tigriswolf]

And how hard is it to comprehend that the LJ cut is our friend? That(and capitalization, and the frickin' SUBJECT LINE) is why I reject most often.
