1. Yes! I never had a straightforward fandom request in my life!

2. Frequently, with my creative prompt. Once somebody went wildly ODAO with an unrequested crossover with a canon I never saw, but they thought I might like? I didn't mind.

3. Definitely an opt-in. Unfortunately for me, I always get recips with minimal prompts like "I just want her/him/them to be happy!" Almost. Every. Forking. Year. What I do is that I combine their wishes and mine by getting to the happy ending with a somewhat creative, but not completely off-the-wall plot. I always, always get excellent feedback on that and I often get the vibe that recips were pleasantly surprised to get that extra creative (but not too creative) kick.
