Oh, I don't think they run here to complain, because anyone who's spent time on coal has become far too anxious and neurotic to be able to blithely do that.

But like, a significant proportion of signups have no optional details, and about a third of them don't bother with a letter and/or have only DNWs listed. There's still a fair contingent of people every yuletide who *aren't* neurotic coalies and just want to do a fun small fandom exchange that matches on fandoms and characters.

And a lot of people who aren't neurotic and aren't neck-deep in exchange culture would assume that a recip would rather get 5000 words of interesting, lovingly-written fic about the things they actually matched on than get 1000 grudgingly written words for a prompt they probably don't care that much about, *or* than be defaulted on. After all if you cared that much about getting your exact prompt, why would you sign up for an exchange that is explicitly odao?
