Yes, they will. I know because they offered to do so for me when I emailed them in confusion about what to do with a blank signup back when I was new to Yuletide.

And FTR of course I can write 1000 words without a prompt, but in an exchange where I signed up to make someone a gift I want them to actually like, it kind of ruins the writing experience for me. Feels about the same as being matched to someone whose signup says "I don't really care about gifts so just write whatever I guess."

That seems a little unkind, as an interpretation, in an exchange where "Optional details are optional to provide" is repeated frequently.

I lower my expectations for a response when I get a blank sign-up, but sometimes people really do just mean they're excited to be surprised.
