Some fic prompts lend themselves to cameo-only appearances for one or two of the full set of requested characters. Unless that was the only character you requested and they got relegated to a walk-on like in the Gay-Bashing Dragon fic, it's kind of jerkish to report someone for not being able to work in Character X for more than a line or two in a fic starring A, B, and C. GBD-fic would make sense to report. I received one of those one year and didn't report it because what the fuck ever. My writer got a thank you for writing for me.

Yeah. I also think if you've very clearly given A/B and C/D prompts that don't mesh then mods *might* get you an EPH to avoid wank, but I doubt they'd punish the writer.

AYRT. I asked for the equivalent of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, with Pansy. My prompt was to do anything, so long as there was interaction, because I was interested in how they all played together in the universe (like worldbuilding, but with characters).

I got 3K of HRH, with a brief non-dialogue cameo by Pansy.

I reported and author was banned for a year. She never came back. I'm not sorry.

This is why I never offer more than three (though usually two) characters. There are so many cases where making 4+ characters just doesn't work, and that only ends in frustration and unhappy recipients.

SA

*making 4+ character interact

This is why you should never offer Any, folks.

Yeah, because some recipients are jackasses.

Yeah, but in that case they explicitly went against your prompt. I think it's a bit different when someone leaves only prompts for A/B OR C/D.

Well, I'm glad I never offer more than three characters.
