Do You Like Giftfic? (kbin.social)

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've not written a lot of them, but I did do that occasionally, and it's nice to make specific people happy =) For me it's a bit like filling prompts in kinkmemes: ideas I wouldn't have written on my own, targeted at a specific person... except when I gift a fic to someone it's a surprise which also means it's someone I know enough to know their tastes without needing a prompt, so it's a bit more personal.

I never received giftfic, but I would be happy to!
