Re: Assumptions You Make

I consider the All About Eve fic het written for a femslash prompt, much like the Last Leaf fic was gen written for a femslash prompt. Despite what those recipients clearly asked for, their writers went in a different direction. You can't control that by writing a more detailed letter, and in Yuletide, the likelihood of treats is too low to hope for a good treat writer. To the original point that people who are disappointed in their gifts should have written better letters, it's a demonstrably false assumption coalie is making to justify not feeling bad for recips who got disappointing gifts. I do feel bad for those recips. I don't blame them for not writing letters up to OP's standards. I've received enough bad YT gifts (and good gifts for the same prompts) to know how little a letter affects the final result when your assignment is handed to someone who isn't a good writer or who doesn't care what their recipient wants.

While I do think some people would get better stories if they wrote better letters that were more clear about what they did and did not want, your All About Eve example is correct. The best letters in the world aren't going to keep assholes from being assholes.
