I think going ODAO on a reasonable request makes you an asshole. You're writing a gift fic for someone. Knowingly giving someone a gift that's nothing at all like what they enjoy is a dick move.

The rules allow ODAO, and I agree that it's useful especially for when your recip asks for things outside the scope of what can and should be expected (like that they'd only want a crossover with a fandom you don't know, or the only thing they ask for is watersports porn, or they request any and then ask for a character you didn't offer). But you have to know that doing this will probably ruin someone's exchange, and most recipients don't reserve that.

As a recip, I can't stop you, obviously, but I'm not going to politely thank you for giving me coal.

(Well, if I had to anonfail on coal, I'm glad I'm anon failed on something that I repeatedly said in namespace before, I guess... /o\)
