The nasty arguments about "always give a gen out/NEVER" just baffle me. I just automatically go "if you don't want to write smut, that's fine! If you don't like these prompts, feel free to just write casefic/curtainfic/whatever!" because I know how it feels for a poor author to feel horribly stuck. I mean, I thought the emphasis was ON THE FIC. Some people pride themselves on being able to write exactly to order, but that's a pretty specialized skill, and I honestly think it's just a shame when someone freezes up and has to default. Again....it's supposed to be fun? Right?
