If you use it in the lose sense of "didn't exactly follow their prompt but it incorporates some general likes and it's in the spirit of their request and is written with that request in mind and something they'll probably enjoy", carry on.
If it's actually ODAO and doesn't match anything they say they like or goes against the spirit of what they ask for, then it's wanky as fuck because it's not really for the recip, is it but just so you can get a comment out of it. (If it were me, you wouldn't, because I'd insta-reject.)
