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.

I could just as easily see you writing the Kirk/Spock portion of it without addressing the girlfriend at all?

Except AYRT says specifically that the prompt is along the lines of "If you do write M/M, I'd love for CGF to still be involved!" - to AYRT, I infer, this means that just writing M/M with absolutely zero CGF for this recip might easily come across as coal/unenjoyable fic, and AYRT would rather not risk blackening somebody's stocking.

♥ I'm totally that person who has in the past blithely skipped through the sunny fields of Any, only to find that every single available letter for that fandom clearly saw an M/M ship COMPLETELY differently than I did. I'm a little more careful now, for exactly the reasons you describe - I'm not judging anybody, no one's doing canon wrong, I just don't want to end up coaling somebody.

Yup, exactly! I also don't want to be That Guy who thinks they can convert them into seeing things my way through fic, and since their letter is the way it is, I have no idea how they ended up on their headcanon, so I can't even use it as an exercise in trying to see if the grass is greener from their side!

I really hope they match on that fandom (and get the fic of their dreams) so that our little fandom gets more fic. ANY FIC IS GOOD FIC. I WOULD LIKE MORE FIC.
