These are not equivalent.
A blank sign up is not an offence.
Stop building your premises on the completely false assumption that everyone wants prompts and if a person doesn't give prompts they're withholding something.
Someone who signs up with a blank slate is not being a douchnozzle. They're taking part in a way that is explicitly encouraged and always has been.
Some blank signups are jerk socks, but many blank sign-ups are people who are just giving a fun activity a go in a low-key way. Taking them in bad faith is the douchnozzle move.

Nah. Blank signs-ups are a jerk move. A low-key jerk move, but still a jerk move.
And sulking about what kind of fic you get when you explicitly didn't say what kind of fic you want is a massive jerk move.

You should not give people a gift in bad faith because you do not like their sign up.
Writing what you want and not guessing at their likes when they DID NOT FUCKING TELL YOU their likes isn't "a gift in bad faith".
Put in some optional details, and you'll have a better chance at getting a gift you enjoy. Everyone with two brain cells should be able to figure that out.

Nobody is fucking asking you to guess at their fucking likes!!!!
Three quarters done with canon review. I knew that the character my recipient requested was a minor character, but I forgot that they literally do not have a single spoken line of dialogue. Huh. Guess I get to make up some speech patterns for them, then!
You can't avoid that, and also, based on how many kudos and comments some fics get that I would consider crappy (and, in turn, how underappreciated some true gems are), I don't think there's any clear consensus about what qualifies as a crappy fic.
You have the same chance of that as everyone does.
Why even do activities that require you to interact with others if you're going to be this much of an antisocial asshole about it lmfao
"Guessing at their likes" and "not writing extreme unasked for kink" are like, really different.
Exactly. Like I get that people are having weird amounts of trouble understanding what is and isn't kink, like where omegaverse falls on this line, but surely this basic concept itself is not that hard to grasp?
so tell the mods that, they'll accommodate

but we have no fandom overlap apart from howl and for howl I just want femdom fic (which he could write, but i like to have gen outs in my prompts)

It's not, people are just really dedicated to their "right" to be spiteful assholes.
They wrote a huge fandom primer with pictures, videos and links, and included the exact emotional vibe they were hoping for in their signup. None of it read as at all demanding, just a really enthusiastic "this is what I love about this fandom!" They wrote three long comments on the fic so I think it worked. I still look for their prompts to see if I can treat them.
Re: How to write better porn, especially emotional intimacy
(Anonymous) 2024-10-31 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)Think about WHY they're having sex. A lot of boring sex scenes are boring because everything was resolved before they started having sex. Resolve emotional or plot issues THROUGH the sex, not before. Even with a PWP where the "why" is "they're horny" then lean into it. Really empathize the desire, the need for touch, how hot they find their partner, the thrill they get from a particular act, whatever it is that makes sex more fun than a really good chocolate cake.

Trick or Treat, an exchange that opened ~an hour ago. Treats can still be added to the collection! No minimum word count (for treats), art also.

ToT = Trick or Treat (![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
trickortreatex), a Halloween-themed fic and art exchange. It has low minimums (300 words for fic or a sketch for art) so there's a tradition of trying to give extra treats to as many people as possible. Hence, the treatless list is a list of all the participants who only have one gift (or possibly no gifts if they defaulted) to help writers find people they can treat.
Alas, I already looked at all the requests when signups closed and nobody wants my tiny old Yuletide fandoms over there. L(
