Someone whose writing I really love and am a little intimidated by seems is requesting the same canon as me for Yuletide! And what I like about this canon seems to be very in line with their usual taste! Yay! But from their canon promo it seems like from this specific canon they’re looking for something completely different than I am lol. Trying to decide whether to bait them by prompting for things they like and I would be decently happy to receive or to only prompt things I’m obsessed with and roll the dice.

Probably not me, but as someone who tends to request the same fandoms I'm offering, what I focus on to promo/request is not necessarily the full scope of what I would be willing or even excited to write for it. Especially at the broader-strokes promo stage I'm likely to focus on those of my fandom-specific likes I expect to have more mass appeal or take less complex explanation, and even writing my full requests I may exclude things that I do actually love but know I'm more picky about the details of than is reasonable for a gift fic.

tl;dr I say roll the dice! Just because they didn't name it as a main appeal of the canon for them in a promo post doesn't mean they wouldn't love to write it.

DC: In fact for me it's often the opposite with fandoms like that; I request the stuff that I don't think I can write and offer a whole different set of stuff that I can.
