Re: Gift Must Feature All Of My Requested Characters

5. Bonus: All of my opinions on the above are relaxed if the author is following a specific prompt or aiming at my likes in a way that requires disproportionate focus on one character or another. They may not hit the mark but I acknowledge the aim.

If focus on both characters is important enough for a gift to "hit the mark" for you, then having prompts that require unequal focus feels like sending mixed signals, no?

That said I really like your answer otherwise.

Eh. It's fine to have exceptions to your preferences/dislikes/DNWs as long as you explain it clearly. It's only annoying when people give conflicting instructions without elaborating.

"Like: creampie; DNW: bodily fluids" is annoying.

"I want a story about these two prominently interacting with each other unless it's for this one specific prompt where one of the characters is turned into a rock by an evil wizard and the other one has to break the curse." is fine.

Sorry to be unclear! (And I see a lot of typos in my answer too - oops.)

What I mean is, my answers for 1-4 were meant to be general answers, where my author isn't sure what direction to take or my prompts are vague. But when I *do* have prompts that favor one character over another, then my author should feel safe following the prompts.

Or, say I have space trains, canon compliance, and mundane slice of life in my likes, and I ask for A/B. There is a period in canon where B is working on the space train station and A is in a different part of the galaxy. I'd like some shippy content, but it would make sense if the fic was largely about B working on the space train station (maybe with some intercut scenes with A, or A sends letters to B, or something).
