Can I just say I am pissed beyond belief at the Snarry Swap Mods for their utter intractability? Yes, I fully understand the no-extensions rule, but for fuck's sake, I wasn't asking for an extension, it was ONE DAY late, due to extenuating circumstances beyond my own control. I sure as hell wasn't having fun this weekend, I explained why it was one day late - My assignment was COMPLETE, it was GOOD, it was totally what the recipient wanted, and because you're so completely unwilling to overlook ANYTHING, not only do *I* get screwed, my recipient gets screwed too.
I successfully completed a Snarry Hols assignment, a Snupin Santa assignment, two Yule Ball assignments, a Draco-Ginny assignment, Smutty Clause assignment, and a pinch-hit Dramione exchange. And because I was ONE DAY LATE after being attacked by a dangerous family member, even after sharing the extenuating circumstances, you still say,
"Since you missed the deadline, we have no other choice than to give your assignment to a pinch hitter."
That's utter BULL. I'll have to let the poor pinch-hitter taking my place know that they had to rush to turn out something all due to the Mod's intractability.
Merry Christmas, huh? Not only is my 'family' fucked up and violent, I have to deal with idiots online, too!
