Hi, thank you for taking interest in the exchange and for getting in touch about this question.
The short answer is that you can DNW "unhappy endings" and explain what kind of endings you like in optional details. DNW "unhappy endings" or DNW "bleak endings" would be an enforceable DNW.
However, in the spirit of the exchange and to make things more straightforward for your creator, I would gently suggest explaining in the optional details where that line lies. E.g. are you okay with an ambiguous or open ending? NB: A DNW in the style of "DNW anything but a happy ending" wouldn't be enforceable, as it would be considered railroading the creator. However, you'd be welcome to elaborate on what kind of ending you like in the optional details part of the sign up.
I hope this answered the question, please let me know if there is anything else I can help clarify.
