Ha, yep, I'm definitely a type 2 person and have only ever done Yuletide, at least up until this year where I branched out into Casefic Exchange. I think of myself as having no DNWs because I just want good fic for my fave extremely rare fandoms, and the things that ruin a gift for me have nothing to do with content, it's all skill-level-related stuff you can't actually rule out with DNWs, like 'character voices don't sound enough like themselves' or 'painfully unfunny humour'. I put in a few token DNWs to stop people panicking about the fact I haven't listed any, but in general I don't like to rule stuff out, because someone going ODAO and writing something wildly off the map of what I usually read but that they were super into and passionate about is genuinely more likely to produce something that works for me than if the writer makes a very forced attempt at following my likes that they weren't feeling at all. If it feels like an in-character version of the canon characters doing whatever random-ass thing they're doing, that's automatically a better gift and more enjoyable fic for me than one where my blorbos in name only blandly act out a trope I said I particularly like.
