Dear writer,
Thank you so much for being part of this exchange! I’m looking forward to seeing what you create. Hopefully some of this will spark your creativity and you will have fun writing. Mix and match any of the likes you want, and my only hard lines are the DNWs. Have fun! . . . I’m so looking forward to what you come up with!
DNWs:
AI generated content
1st or 2nd person POV
Anti-religion/Religion bashing
Major character death – unless part of reincarnation or afterlife AU
Unhappy endings
Abortion
Incest – ignoring the insanity of Ancient Greek mythological connections
Breakup/cheating/infidelity fics
MPreg
RPF – Using the FBI, NYPD, etc. is fine, but please don’t use CNN, MSNBC, Fox, etc. and definitely no real people.
Police/cop bashing
Current politics or political issues
Trans headcanons
Slurs/Name calling (Pet names are perfectly fine though)
Violent non-con
Watersports/Scat
Texas bashing
General likes:
Deep characterization
Happy endings – or hopeful at the very least
Ratings: G, T, or M
Fluff
Domestic/slice of life
Found family
Hurt/comfort
Pregnancy/kids – except MPREG
Character bonding
World building
Power dynamics/imbalance
Possessiveness
Arranged marriage
Cuddling/aftercare
Alternate Universes that lean into magic/myth/fantasy
Darker likes:
Codependency
Kidnapping
Auction/War prize
Touch-starved characters
Sensory deprivation
Dub-con
Trauma exploration/recovery
Biting/Marking
Extra likes – Strong alpha men that are wrapped around the fingers of the women they love. Protective men and women with sass. Dark, edgy characters who use that to protect the innocent and light. And I’m into women who are kickass – especially if it’s NOT in the physical sense. Give me the geniuses, the wise women, the counselors, or the homemakers who know it is the heart of the house that pulls the strings.
I have a MAJOR competence kink.
Give me all the fantasy, supernatural, dark, urban magic stuff you’ve ever wanted to write! Or a Mafia AU because that’s always fun.
I’m not here for explicit sex, but for the character connections and relationships, so if you want to explore an asexual character, that works for me as well.
Hawkeye - Clint/Kate – I truly enjoy this partnership at both the romantic and platonic level. I’d prefer Clint not be a complete disaster. He’s this awesome Avenger and badass secret agent . . . I’m pretty sure he knows how to survive day to day. Also, if you want to bring in some of Kate’s background from the comics (such as the assault in Central Park), that works for me too.
Ancient Greece – Hades/Persephone – this is my favorite myth. I prefer it when she is the willing Queen of the Dead. She’s much too peaceful and relaxed in later stories for her to be unhappy. Honestly, feel free to be as fluffy as you want by the end.
Harry Potter – Sirius/Lily – no idea why this couple works for me, but they do. Probably the opposites attract thing . . . and I love the potential for sparks here. I also love the idea of finding connections across what people believe to be impossible distances.
Doctor Who 2005 – Twelfth/Clara – I love these two! Be platonic or be romantic . . . but have them happy together running around the universe/timeline in the TARDIS. I love Twelve being grumpy and standoffish with everyone but Clara. I don’t think there was enough exploration of Clara’s echoes and the ramifications of her jumping into the Doctor’s timeline.
If an “additional tag” from any fandom I listed inspires you, run with it. If I picked the tag, then I enjoy the trope/prompt and I’m happy to see it!
Thank you so much! Have fun!
