A classic topic.

I think if you want ships and/or porn you should talk about how much you love your ships and/or porn. Never, never give actual prompts for gen scenarios you don't want. But talk enough about what you like about the characters that a gen writer going ODAO can figure out something that touches on why you like them.

Honestly, smut only-prompts that are just "pegging, facials, watersports" and nothing else aren't a guarantee of good porn either, so you might as well give actual prompts.

I give ship only prompts for those canons I want ship fic for, and gen only prompts for those I want gen for (and dnw ship fic for the latter). I like smut, but would never leave smut only prompts.

Of course, authors can still ODAO on my ship fic requests, but I would never provide a gen out. If I get gen for a ship request I'll just leave a thank you for writing for me comment if it's my main gift. Gen treats will be rejected outright.

Sounds solid to me. Do you usually get gifts you like?

Mostly. I think I've got one or two meh gifts but never had to reject any. Have had a good mix of ship and gen gifts I like.
