I can't answer the OOC question, but it looks like what the requester really wants is fic that hews very close to the canon.
Truth? If I liked their fandoms, the only thing I'd find off-putting about this letter is the "no first person POV". Then again, maybe all of the relevant canon here is in third person. Personally, I'm not a fan of second person POV, but first person usually works for me. I can't think of a story I've read in first person that would have been any better in third person.
I'd write the OOC bit off as cluelessness (a lot of people who do OOC don't know they're doing it) and some of the DNWs off either as a noob unreasonably afraid of getting those things or an old-timer who's been burned in the past.
