I used to believe everyone did, but I know better. Some people don’t like it from people they don’t know. Others don’t like receiving it from anyone at all. What do you think about it?

I personally like writing giftfic. I don’t do it all the time, because if I did I would never write the stuff I like the most (as no one else writes the stories I really want). But how happy people have been when I have? Has always made it worth it.

Receiving it is always nice too. Especially when people have made the effort to write the specific tropes/pairings/whatever I love. After all, most of them are rare. It’s always appreciated.

    I love all kinds of gift fics, even if they’re not 100% to my taste. Someone took the time to write something for me, and that’s awesome! I have trouble writing them myself 'cause I overthink whether the recipient will like it lol But the times I’ve received giftfic (not from exchanges) have been wonderful and I’ve loved them. (I like the fics I’ve received in exchanges too, I just don’t really consider them giftfics since it’s more like a trade? idk my brain is weird)
