Dear Unsent Letters 2025 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.
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

Daddy/Mommy kink

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.
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.
FANDOMS:
Marvel –
Okay, I love Clint Barton in so many ways. Right now, my favorite is him with Kate – in basically any level of good relationship. I’d love to get Natasha’s take on that. This is his best friend and partner, she’s got to have Opinions. Other than that, I'd love to see something involving the Farm family or maybe Clint making that other call.
Harry Potter –
Sirius/Lily are my current HP obsession, and I can only imagine the letters between Lily & Petunia. PLEASE make Petunia a good big sister. Plus, I always enjoy when Petunia can be involved in the magical world in some way.
My other HP choices are all characters I'd love to see interacting, especially if the bad guys can be moved from dark to gray. As far as the adults and Harry - seriously, he needed more parental guidance. Badly
(I’m not a big fan of Severus or Dumbledore, so I don’t mind them being dubious, questionable or manipulative – especially Dumbledore. But I’m also not against them being good guys.)
The Lord of the Rings –
Eomer/Lothiriel have been favorites of mine forever. I’d love to see something exploring their relationship. How did he handle becoming king? And then having the daughter of an ally and cousin of his brother-in-law as his wife? How did she take to the Riddermark?
.
Thank you so much!
