Don't a) request three characters, b) spend half of your the fandom section complaining about the canon, c) only mention how you'd like to read A/B and not mention C at all, and d) make all your other fandom sections four times longer.

And then they're negative about one of their other fandoms in a way that isn't relevant or helpful to the writer. It's fine to politely point out something you didn't enjoy in order to ask for a fix-it. It's also fine to ask for a character or storyline or theme not to be part of the story. But don't spend a paragraph hating on a character and ship you didn't even request! With bonus incest kink shaming, especially when, from the context here, it sounds like the incest is canon.

It was a new complaint. I just didn't link.

DA:
I hate to link letters that whine about canon because it feels like it'd reflect badly on the fandom. Especially since all the letters I've seen do that for one of my fandoms are requesting a particular character.

SA:
It fucking happened again. Why is it only requests for this one character? Is this just something that happens to people who actually have canon ships?

I don't know but I'm sorry! I dont know what they're thinking. They're going to match with people who offered both halves of the ship, and the writer will be annoyed.

AYRT:
Oh, I'm not OP! The other half of this pairing wasn't nominated. I'm probably just overreacting to one letter in particular, to be honest.
