But that's the core issue of the whole thread. Some coalies feel that their recip "basically wants a commission" because for them anything that limits their creative freedom equals "commission". It's lack of flexibility in their writing skills combined with an attitude that fundamentally doesn't understand the "gift" part in "gift exchange".

A laundry list of all the exact ways you want this ship written and all the hurdles the author needs to dodge to make the gift enjoyable to you is a tiny bit more than "anything that limits creativity", but keep wanking.

Coalies ITT are wanking over a DNW as simple as not mentioning past relationships. Someone even mention "no darkfic" as too broad. This is "maybe you should write for yourself rather than a gift" territory.
