Dear EDM 2024 Creator,
Thank you so much for being part of this exchange! I’m looking forward to seeing what you create. Hopefully some of these sparks you and you have fun in the writing. Mix and match any of the likes you want, and my only hard lines are the DNWs. Fandom notes are at the bottom if you want to skip down.
My preference is for Sweet with a touch of Spicy because I want happy endings. Now, if you decide to drift into a bit of the Sour, that’s all good as long as everything works out in the end.
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
Daddy/Mommy kink

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.
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. I only ask that they’re physical in some way – all the cuddling, sensuality, hugging, etc. Touch is very, very important to me. Omegaverse kind of implies sex, but I’ve tried to pick additional tags that lend themselves to explorations of their lives outside of sex itself.
Special note on additional tags – if you really want to write one of my fandoms but prefer an additional tag I picked for a different fandom, feel free to mix and match those. I picked the tags I liked and tried to do different ones for inspiration.
FANDOMS:
Hawkeye –
Clint/Kate and Clint & Kate are my current obsession. Clint Barton is my favorite Avenger, and I’ve grown to adore Kate as well. Neither of them has any special powers or suits or anything like that. They are two ordinary people who step up and become heroes because they have the guts to do what’s right. And they have to practice, work their ass off to stand with the big guys. Also, much as I love the artwork of the comics, I prefer Clint to be the efficient and intelligent secret agent & Avenger – please don’t let him be a disaster. I enjoy them on missions, undercover, or just plain being playful.
Ancient Greece –
Hades/Persephone is my favorite pair in all of Greek myth. She’s so powerful as the Queen of the Dead, and he treats her as an equal. I prefer seeing them as deeply in love, and she hates being away from him just as much as he hates her being away.
Dionysus/Ariadne are another favorite, and I love the way he rescues her after she’s abandoned. Anything that shows him helping her recover from the trauma of that would be fantastic! For all that Dionysus is usually shown drunk, or mad, or spilling excess all over the place, I’d prefer to see other sides of him. (Through I’m good with drinking/getting drunk being involved!)
Hogwarts Legacy –
Mirabel Garlick/Aesop Sharp or Mirabel Garlick & Aesop Sharp – so, I really enjoy Legacy, and I think these two would play off each other so well. They certainly seem to respect each other’s gifts and magics, but they’re also such opposites. I’d love to see something exploring their connection, as well as more worldbuilding for this part of the HP world.
Thank you so much!
