1. Sort of. Depends a bit on the canon, but I tend to have a blanket "here are my bulletproof tropes, feel free to use them for anything" as well as "if you're stumped for ideas and want to send the characters on a treasure hunt or introduce a zombie apocalypse, feel free" note in my letter.

2. No

3. Opt-in. One Yuletude a few years ago I wrote a "creative" trope for a non-fantasy canon and the recipient's only comment was simply "Well. This sure is some story you wrote!" So I'm never doing that again unprompted and without being absolutely sure that the recipient will be into it.

Oh, coalie, I'll bet that felt crummy. Sorry about that.

Daaaaaang, no chill. Did they have prompts?!

This is why people that give (near) blank sign ups need to say something imo! And people who give (near) blank sign ups but who are open to anything/want a novel take on canon need to speak up too. The former will get creative shit and the latter will get boring canon rehash and everyone is miserable.

Nobody should have any right to leave that type of comment if they didn’t give an indication of what they wanted. If you do *and then* the author still gives you ODAO in either direction, then you can leave that kind of mean petty comment.
