Thank you for getting back to us! We're still a bit confused here. These don't seem like they relate to things that occur in canon, unless we're skimming/remembering very badly?
At the end of Monstrous Regiment, we get this line about Jade: Jade and her beau had wandered off to do something more interesting, as trolls very sensibly did - and she isn't mentioned in the scene where Polly and Maladicta march out again. So "Jade's approach to recruiting for the army of Borogravia" doesn't seem like an existing or implied topic to explore. It seems like a perfectly good prompt about Jade's possible future or about the topic of future army recruitment in general, but we would prefer not to lock a creator into answering "What if X, that does not happen in canon, happened?"
Is there a description of something that happens in canon, or is implied to happen in canon, that would work for you instead, so that a creator who matches on that has a range of choices about how to explore that topic? Similarly, Jade obviously has opinions on how female trolls can live their best lives; is there a way of phrasing that topic that allows a creator to explore in more ways than If Jade Wrote An Advice Column?
You can guarantee a Discworld creator gives you a story featuring Jade by making her the only character you select in a request. You can also guarantee yourself in-universe meta for that prompt, if you like, by selecting only that media.
