Also my personal opinion is that the minimum ratio should be at least 20% for the least important of the requested character. 10% is pushing it and single digits the mods should look into.

I may be baised since I only like shipfic so most of my fic and gifts are equal or near equal in screentime but if someone asked for a gen day in the lives of Big Bird & Ernie, you can’t just have 15 scenes or Burt and Ernie running errands with one 50 word paragraph where Big Bird runs into them at the bank and asks how they’re doing.

How do you calculate the ratio then? Amount of dialogue broken down by who says what? Number of words devoted to a given character's thoughts or actions? If those 15 scenes of Bert and Ernie running errands are shorter in terms of total word count than the single paragraph of Big Bird running into them, does Big Bird actually have more screentime?

It's like pornography, I know it when I see it.
