The Dirty Energy Source

Do you want to make a spreadsheet about spreadsheets?
Do you still need to figure out what two other fandoms you should request beside the only one you really want fic for?
Or are you trolling ALL the letter posts for placeholders, just so you can write those people some nice, dry coal?

We want to know all about it.

bipagan. That one letter was weird and wanky, which I can deal with, but I wouldn't be able to handle writing for someone who vaguely implies that not writing exactly to their details might make them kill themselves.

Oh, christ yes. As a person with brain problems of my own, even a whiff of the implication that unsatisfactory fic would make my recipient self-harm would be an instant default for me, no matter how great their prompts were and how nice they seemed. If it's passive-aggressive bullshit, fuck them for doing it, and if it's an authentic sentiment, they need more help than I or a gift fic can give them.
