Just write something related to the canon that isn't horror? "Darkfic" is a specific kind of grinding, miserable grimdark genre, not just any fic where there's a zombie mentioned in the background, or whatever. Write h/c set during or after the horror, write a character study before or after the canon, write porn involving two characters from the canon, etc.

Porn or a character study would absolutely be my go-to if they hadn't requested worldbuilding (and, somehow, no other characters; I thought we were supposed to request at least one actual character if requesting worldbuilding!).

DC from the worldbuilding rules post: “you could match to a recipient who has asked for Worldbuilding only”

I worked out where I went wrong there; offers had to be Worldbuilding +1, but requests didn't.
