"I mean, it's telling that the word you're using is "difficult to write" because it's not exactly beating the commissioned fic allegations."

No, it means some writers are more talented than others and don't immediately throw their hands into the air in despair because the recipient asked for these incredibly common tropes when you wanted to write these other incredibly common tropes instead. You can write what you want on your own time. When you sign up for an exchange you are agreeing to try to write what your recipient is asking for. It might not be possible for you because they're DNWing their way into underage noncon or they are asking for cute hair-braiding fluff about two characters you have only ever seen as bitter enemies locked in a spiral of mutual genocide and destruction, and you have to go ODAO because you can't write their prompts. That happens. But balking at basic canon divergence? Astonished that someone wants pre or post canon that ignores the A plot of the canon? Coalie, is this your first day in fandom or something? That's not a commission. That's basic fic skills. If you don't have those, yes, it will be difficult for you to write but that's because you don't know what the fuck you're doing.
