sarajayechan
Content: I like the mini-prompts – potential jumping-off points for fic, and gives a good idea of what the recip likes overall. 4/5

Formatting: I'd prefer the likes and DNWs to be condensed into comma-separated rather than bulleted lists; they're kind of overwhelming. Not sure why "DNWs" and "squicks" are separate lists? I'm reading it as interpreting "squicks" to mean "specifically sexual DNWs," but it's a little confusing. 3/5

Overall rating: 3.5/5, I'd be happy to get this letter as a writer.

reflectedeve
Content: Love the discussions of what the recip likes about each canon, plus the prompts. Personal and chatty tone without rambling. 5/5

Formatting: Great! Probably because the general likes and DNWs lists are shorter than in sarajayechan's letter, I don't find the bulleted format overwhelming. 5/5

Overall rating: 5/5, absolutely exemplary. (BRB, gotta go edit my own letter now!)

lebibish
Content: Again, I like the discussion of why the recip likes these fandoms, as well as the mini-prompts. 4/5

Formatting: Okay, immediate disadvantage – sorry! – for being a Tumblr letter: it's just so narrow! The symbol for the bulleted lists also looks confusingly like a lowercase "o", which keeps catching me off guard, but idk how much control you have over formatting specifics on Tumblr. Otherwise okay, though you really don't have to write ODAO at the start of every fandom. 3/5

Overall rating: 3.5/5

serephemeral
Content: I like how clear the DNW exceptions are – big help for situations where something would feel difficult to exclude entirely without going AU in a big way. I like how much the recip's personality comes through, and how fun the prompts are – the perfect level of detail, in my opinion.
Also, I adore literally all of the Oz prompts – if I had my Oz books with me (as opposed to across the country in my baby sister's bedroom) I'd be changing my offers this minute. 5/5

Formatting: Buddy, your bulleted lists are screwed up in a big way, and it's driving me slightly nuts. On the plus side, excellent use of bold/italics and varying font size! 3.5/5 (Sorry, can't get over those lists.)

Overall rating: 4.25/5

Wait, for #4 what's messed up about the bulleted lists? Or has the letter been fixed since this was posted?
