Re: Would you write a setting change AU for a blank sign up?

[(Anonymous)]

I did. The signup was completely blank, not even characters selected, no DNWs. There was no letter. Their AO3 had like five bookmarks and no fic. I decided that anyone who gave me so little to go on had to be game for anything and wrote a complete setting change for a fandom that did not lend itself to that.

The recip loved it. Multiple enthusiastic comments, a comment six months later to tell me they were re-reading it.

I think my reasoning was sound. If they had preferences, they'd give you something to go on. If they don't, take your most wild idea and run with it. That way at least you know you'll have fun.

That you rolled the dice and came up with snake eyes does not mean gambling is a good idea, sorry! Confirmation bias.

My point is that with a blank signup, everything is a dice roll. Might as well roll the dice on something you'll enjoy writing. Again: if they cared, they'd say SOMETHING.

Snake eyes is a bad roll. You don’t want to roll snake eyes.
