Tired of the same old ways of being a douche over yuletide?

You've already done the "deliberately write all of your recipients' squicks just because they asked you not to" method? Think getting into flame wars over Hetalia on the yuletide comm is so last year? Can't figure out what the most effective way to deliberately screw up the tags on your AO3 account to give AO3 tag wranglers extra work during December would be?

Why not try anonymously flaming someone's Dear Santa/Yulegoat/Etc. letter?

And then ranting on anon memes about how terrible their requests are.

The anon meme rant by itself isn't that bad -- ranting about things that irritate you is what anon memes are for, after all -- but trolling people's journals because you don't like their yuletide requests is just uncalled for. I kind of want to apologize to those two poor fans on behalf of Marvel fandom, but since I don't know them and have never interacted with them, that would be creepy, so I'll just hope they aren't the recipient matched with the ranter and aren't going to get nasty author's notes on their yuletide gift to top off the troll experience.



You could ask what the heck Avengers fandom's doing in Yuletide to begin with, yeah, *cough*AstolatlikesThor/Loki*cough*, but that's something to take up with the mods, not the fans who request the "wrong" pairings/characters within the fandom in their letters.
