Date: 2020-06-15 05:15 am (UTC)The TL;DR version goes:
-they also won an auction for a fanartist that I am very close with, and they asked us to team up
-they essentially requested the same exact story I had already written earlier that year
-they had such specific requests that each outline/draft I sent them got rejected
-they clearly wanted a very plotty, lengthy fic, which became stressful with all the above
-they, after a few months of this, made several public posts about leaving that particular fandom
It was frustrating for me, though it was my first time taking fic requests so I suppose that's to be expected.
I would say be very specific on DNW and fic lengths so that someone isn't requesting a chapter fic. I would also perhaps treat it more like a fic exchange where they provide some pairings and prompts with their DNW's in a letter. I think the biggest mistake I made was that I let them be too involved in the creation process for a $20 donation, and in the end nothing ever got done (the artist did a few sketches that got thrown out when the purchaser vetoed the matching story drafts).
