"What we don't want is a fic request that has a hundred people commenting, "Oooh, me too, send it to me!" "

Why? People will have their PM boxes full of requests. Isn´t this community here exactly for this? If the authors didn´t flock their fics and it´s OK with them to share or left LJ long time ago for unknown reason? Why wouldn´t be people allowed to ask HERE for their fics?
