Main Exchange Letter

[caitis_musings]

Dear Creator,

I’ve decided to write one big letter that covers my likes, dislikes, and random notes. Mostly so I don’t miss having a letter for you when my time suddenly vanishes on me. (Sometimes I can be absolutely time-blind!) I will be thrilled with your creation, and hope you have a great deal of fun in writing it. Most of this is meant simply to help with inspiration. This is a general letter, so other than the DNWs, feel free to take, ignore, mix up, and blend anything else listed.

DNWs:

AI generated content
1st or 2nd person POV
Anti-religion/Religion bashing of any kind
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
Non-canon trans headcanons
Body-swapping
Slurs/Name calling (Pet names are perfectly fine though)
Violent non-con

Domestic/slice of life
Found family
Hurt/comfort
Pregnancy/kids – except MPREG

Sensory deprivation
Dub-con
Trauma exploration/recovery
Biting/Marking

RANDOM NOTES:

Strong alpha men that are wrapped around the fingers of the women they love are my favorites.
I love protective men and women with sass.
Give me all the dark, edgy men who use that to protect the innocent and light.
And I’m into women who are kickass, but 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.
In case you were wondering, yes, I’m into strong men – I want those masculine men who can handle a situation. My definition of masculine – “strong (resilient, empowered, able to perform, and at appropriate times, stoic in the face of enemies and hardship), aggressive (assertive, motivated, and able to battle against bullies, as well as help us fight our wars both abroad and at home), powerful (successful in work, in life, in leadership, and, when needed, in follower-ship to leaders who are morally sound).” However, I also want men who are tender, kind, compassionate . . . and yes, I believe it is possible to have men who check all the boxes.
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.

Please feel free to mix and match from my likes. Also, if this exchange has “additional tags”, you can mix or match those as well. If I chose them for any fandom – unless fandom specific – then I enjoy reading them. Hopefully you have a great deal of fun!

Thank you so much!
Caiti
