I'm not being morally superior? This is just about writing fic. I think that any fic I wrote for them wouldn't be what they're looking for, since it goes exactly against the optional details they requested.
I'm not going to show up in the comments of the fic they get and be like "Oh, you should be thanking me for defaulting on you! It's all thanks to me that you went on the PH list! Otherwise you would've gotten stuck with me!"
If I powered through and wrote against their one, reasonable, optional detail, coal would be up in arms over how I should have defaulted. Or they'll rake her through the coals for being upset that I ODAO and that she wasn't happy for a fic that didn't go against her DNWs. Why screw either of us over like that?
It's too early in the week for you to be this upset over me doing what's best for both me and a hypothetical recipient. I hope the rest of your week goes great too.
