Re: Skirting DNWs

[(Anonymous)]

I think there's another common case: The recipient's DNWs are adjacent to what they ask for. For example "DNW: graphic violence" and them asking for canon-typical adventures in a canon where the canon-typical adventures feature graphic violence.

Yeah, I see this in letters a lot. I've been lucky enough never to get assigned to a recip who did it, and I don't know what I'd do if I got one – 1000 words of bland introspection, I guess?

But this is how you run into the ForceGhostGate scenario, where an author trying hard to fulfill a prompt slams headfirst into the DNW.

That DNW is only adjacent to the request if the writer's an idiot. Write an adventure like in canon, skim lightly over the violence rather than wallowing in gore. It's incredibly easy.

Eh, not so much. Especially since how much violence counts as graphic or disturbing is subjective.

It also does not track for other instances.
