booksongHi there Chocolatier! I’m going to thank you in advance for whatever treat I’m going to get to enjoy from you, I can’t wait! 2020 was a pretty awful year, so hopefully this event will be a fun start to 2021 for both of us!
You’ve probably seen the brief prompts and notes I’ve made for each fandom request in my signup--they are just ideas I’ve tossed out, so follow your inspiration and I promise I will be super excited to receive whatever you create.
That said, here are a few extra general tidbits that might help you.
In any fandom I’ve requested, I love:
- AUs! Magical realism and ‘verses involving mental and emotional connections between characters (ex. Pacific Rim, His Dark Materials) are among my absolute favorites, but I also love to see what other AUs people come up with
- Ships or characters getting together or growing closer, whatever that entails! Missing canon scenes or canon divergence, some mutual pining, learning something new about each other, fake dating, bed sharing, gen hijinks, adventures, shenanigans and beyond--I love it all, the sky’s the limit
- Banter! This will differ based on the characters involved of course, but I always love fun and in-character dialogue and conversations, even if the characters are just hanging out and doing day-to-day stuff
- Fluff! Doesn’t matter how mundane, give me a warm/intimate/meaningful/sweet/silly moment between characters and I’ll be thrilled
- NSFW and smut is A-OK if you’re inspired; just see below for my DNWs if that’s the direction you’re taking. As a general rule I prefer warmer and fluffier intimacy/sex to anything rough or angsty, but things being tense, awkward, complicated, or less than perfect are also fine if the context or canon is there. Stuff like body worship, praise kink, sensual foreplay, eagerness and desperation, discovering and exploiting new erogenous zones, and negotiation of intimacy/sex for the first time (especially if it’s a polyship) are extra good. It’s also VERY okay to have female/female-presenting characters take charge, top, or switch!
Generally across all fandoms, I DNW:
*character death, suicide, or grave injury/illness (keeping to canon uses of these, like for Akudama Drive, are ok though!)
*infidelity or breakups
*heavy angst or very graphic violence
*abuse
*genderswaps/bends (TGCF canon genderfluidity, especially for beefleaf, is an exception here!)
*For NSFW: Characters involved being above or aged-up 16+ is preferred, and please no noncon, dubcon, a/b/o, hate sex, mpreg, BDSM, humiliation, painplay, public sex/exhibitionism, or kinks involving elimination. See my above note on welcome NSFW tropes for a better idea of the things that I do enjoy.
That should be it, so happy writing, wonderful Chocolatier!
