Re: DNW lists

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's a combo of there being a few people who clearly do not care about what their recipient wants and the mods usually siding with the writer for grey-area DNW breaks, so people want to be super clear.

For me personally I don't really care all that much about a long list so long as it doesn't make it impossible to write a story (obvs ymmv on this but usually so long as I can still write a canon-compliant story I wouldn't consider it impossible to write for) and so long as the list is clear. If something seems contradictory I'd err on the side of caution unless it makes it truly impossible (ie DNWing AUs and time travel but requesting characters who are not alive at the same point in time)

For myself I have a decently long list depending on the canon (sometimes I DNW all AUs because I specifically want canon fic, sometimes I just DNW specific ones if I'm fine with others) some of which are things where it's like this fic would be 100% ruined for me if these things showed up (like say rape), some of which are more like I COULD read this but in situations that are so specific that I don't want to risk it (like say omegaverse) and some things where it's like well I could read this but it'd make the fic the equivalent of receiving like cucumber lotion [or insert your own idea of a generic gift that shows the person buying for you doesn't know anything about you] and if I'm being allowed to write a request I may as well as for what I really want.

I do also though do my best to be clear and also to explain specifics if something seems contradictory (like say, I DNW parent death but it's canon for a requested character, I'd be clear if I meant that I would rather it not get mentioned at all or if I'm fine if it comes up but don't want a fic focused on it, etc)

Yep, this, especially when it comes to Yuletide. The YT mods are the worst when it comes to screwing over recips who received DNWs.

Are they still? I feel like the examples I’ve seen are from a while ago, and there’s been some changeover since then.
