queenluaThank you in advance, stranger! I adore each of these fandoms and will be delighted to see more writing and/or art for any of them. I'm pretty easygoing & omnivorous when it comes to fic-reading and art-viewing, so please have fun creating, even if it doesn't entirely match the prompts I gave—they're only meant to be jumping-off points, and I'm most interested in whatever is exciting to you.
In case you need something beyond the prompts/ideas offered in the sign-up, please find my general likes and DNWs below!
General Likes
* gratuitous meta / worldbuilding, backstories, character studies, strong settings / setting-as-character
* working through bitterness / badfeels with family and friends (and other complicated relationships), MESSY relationships in general, (inverted) power dynamics (and exploration thereof), depictions of "home", melancholy & reminiscing, people who are very different from each other struggling & striving & learning to understand each other
* people avoiding their feelings with various varieties of self-destructive behavior, scoundrel-y characters being scoundrels, smart characters being smart, heists
* awkward dinner parties (e.g. characters are forced to make surface-level polite small talk with people who suck due to some particular Circumstance; the cringier the better)
* pathetic men
Smutty Likes
* mutual using (e.g. they're both not over their dead ex and they're using each other to fill the void)
* or, just one person is using (e.g. sleeping with someone while thinking about some other person they'd ACTUALLY like to be sleeping with the entire time)
* sleeping around for political purposes
* cheating
* accidental dubcon/noncon due to Catastrophically Poor Communication
* in general i'm open to a lot of stuff & pretty hard to squick, so the answer for most specific kinks (choking/bondage/voyeurism/whatever) is "sure!"—my primary interest is in there being some feeling beneath the scene (be that fucked-up badfeels, a happy catharsis, whatever), and so long as that feeling is there, i'll be pleased with whatever action is happening
I mostly read gen, but I often enjoy very shippy or E-rated fic, so long as there's still significant plot and/or character study elements.
I mostly enjoy things that stick close to canon facts/settings. However, I do enjoy setting-based AUs when the new setting has a ton of flavor (e.g. coffee shop AUs or standard college AUs tend to be too bland for me, but I've enjoyed stuff like "they're all national park rangers" AU or "US Revolutionary War" AU, etc). Canon divergent AUs / "what if?" AUs are also great if you've got a cool idea for one!
What I've written, bookmarked, and been gifted on AO3 (both there and on my alt account) does a pretty good job of showing the range of things I'm most delighted to read.
DNWs
DNWs: AUs where the primary focus is erotic (e.g. omegaverse, d/s verse, slavefic, etc), vomit/feces/piss
