My take is that you can have this feeling...but your prompts better be detailed. Don’t just prompt “What if Tony and Steve got married” and then get mad when the fic doesn’t include your “and obviously the end up on a planet with nobody else and become codependant and aren’t able to mesh with the world when they return to 616”. I will write that specific ass fic if you TELL ME but don’t be mad that an open ended prompt got a fic that went in the open direction you pointed at.

If your prompt did say what you wanted then it is an ODAO issue and yeah, that is a risk of exchanges over commissioned fic.

I would hate getting a prompt that detailed, I'd feel stifled and scream "why don't YOU write the fic then" and probably going ODAO for the ending.

+1. And yes, prompts are absolutely a jumping-off point. Exchanges aren't commissions.

AYRT

Which is your right! But anyone can give whatever kinds of prompts they want. My issue is if OP is mad for the author missing the mark when they didn’t even tell them there was a target to aim for.

That's definitely not what the OP did, they said "and ignored what I wrote in my prompt. I guess that is your right, but I would have preferred if you had stuck to my prompt". Did you read up or jump in flat view?

I’m saying that it depends for me if they actually had a prompt that said what the ending should be. Most of the time vague wank like this happens, it turns out the recip never actually said anything (wrong person bottoms wank) and had a secret headcanon they kept to themselves yet punish the author for not knowing.
