For this exchange and a few other exchanges, writing letters to the writer is part of the community. There is a post in the community where we link our letters in case our writer wishes to have more information to work off of, so this is not something out of the norm. The only thing writers need to include are the requested characters. Everything else is optional, and I go into this knowing that! Some writers like to know more about what their recipient likes. This is for writers like that.
