I feel like if there really were that many people sitting around desperate to write weird kinks for strangers, the yuleporn challenge would get more takers. Also the proportion of people who write super long DNWs or DNW all kink in Yuletide isn't actually that big, no matter how much we complain about it. If you really wanna write somebody watersports just because they didn't DNW it there's already lots and lots of options on the app.

And if you've already got a really specific thing you wanna write you don't actually have to wait for an exchange, plenty of people are just writing their kink smut on their own time, and those people aren't doing it solely in expectation of one recip comment.

sc I mean if you did an exchange where the *selling point* was that everybody is explicitly opting in to all weird porn, writer's choice, sure, you'd get a lot of people who want weird porn (but your recips would presumably want it too.) (and now I kinda want that exchange too.) But that's different from one that limits formal DNWs but still generally expects people to try to write a fic based on what the recip wants.

You'd have to be an absolute arse to write someone extreme kink in a regular exchange, though. That's very different than an exchange that says "no DNWs except [allowed list of DNWs], everything else is fair game". If you sign up for that, you're pretty much opting into everything that's not DNW-able.
