As someone who used to write way too much kink content, I'd just like to throw in my own two cents on that note about fulfilling requests. Keep in mind though that the following is all from my own personal experiences and feelings, and I have no clue how you feel deep down whatsoever, so none of this may be applicable to you and you're free to ignore. Mostly just rambling.

Anyways, even if you feel like you're changing requests enough to fit your desires/you're only focusing on requests that really appeal to you, I found that after enough time had passed for me, fics that didn't 100% match my tastes gradually drained me and made me feel as if I was wasting my own time simply to appeal to people who requested stuff from me, not wanting to say "no." This feeling never really crept in until I'd written so many requests, most of which *did* include things that I threw in myself or were bookended by my own short horny drabbles. But once that feeling did set in, it made me a bit petty and resentful, thinking only about how much work I'd put into my writings without receiving anything-not even any similar writings from other authors-back in return.

And lastly, this may sound a bit pessimistic, but I ultimately realized that the thought of "I am here to fill requests" was utter dumbassery for me, considering I had zero reason to "give back." I started writing to appease my niche tastes, and I started focusing on requests simply to feel like I was being nice, but after enough moons, I realized, "Why the hell do I care about clout under an anonymous identity in an anime kink community? What am I even gonna do if I 'improve' my ability to write fat smut? Why am I spending all this time appeasing people I don't even know instead of solely focusing on what *I* want to write-or literally anything else in life, for that matter-and just letting the few people who share my niche tastes eventually gravitate to me?"

tl;dr: I feel like writing what you want 100% and letting the 2 other people on the planet who share the same brain as you eventually find your stuff makes you feel a lot less discardable, rather than trying to write fics that appeal to only ~50% of the tastes of tens or hundreds of people.

Sorry for the long ramble, haha.
