Also while I'm here, because I'll end up asking this sooner or later, but my goal is normally to write as much as possible for things but I tend to write explicit fic, which not everyone wants gifted to them, especially in the case where it would literally have their name on it...
So... can I, further down the road when I'm writing extra treats, write gifts that aren't necessarily a treat for a specific person but more like... a free for all bowl of (smutty) candy and gift it to the collection as a whole by submitting it to the collection without tying anyone's name on it?
This is normally most useful when either a) a character gets nominated but not requested and ends up lonely but someone did want them at some point though I'm not privy to who or what they want because they didn't sign up for them (but I want to show that character some love anyway). Other cases might be someone did request a certain pairing but states they don't want adult content but me being an optimist would like to write some as a gift for anyone lurking that might want some. Because, in my mind, there's a lot of fandoms I couldn't request for obvious reasons but I'd still be up for reading them if someone wrote them and left them lying around.
(Basically I don't want to make people uncomfortable by gifting them smut unless they specifically say they want smut -- but I still want to write all the smut for people that might want the smut -- can I leave a bowl of smutty candy on the table that people so inclined can help themselves to?)
