Bullshit. There used to be FAR more knowing that ODAO, never mind letters which were extra-specially-optional. There's way, way more of a "if you don't write your recipient what they want you failed", as signalled by the fact that people will now drop a fandom entirely if they see just one letter they don't like.

DA

I feel like it's pretty extreme in both directions -- writers doing whatever without consideration for the recipient (attempted rape in a Yuletide fic, really??) and recipients with these insanely long and detailed letters full of head canon and DNW. People are bound to be disappointed either way.

Some of us asked for attempted rape in our yuletide fics.

I just can't imagine including it if not specifically requested.
