subjunctive

Thanks so much for writing me a story! I love all of these ships to death and I'll be elated to read about them. :) Even though this is a shipping exchange, I don't necessarily expect a happily ever after. Happy-for-now, ambiguous/open/sad endings, UST, and breakups are welcome too. What I'm into the most with all these ships is the characters being important to each other's development in some way.

For this exchange in particular, I love lavish descriptions of food and food being connected to characters' memories and pasts (in good OR bad ways).

FYI, my tumblr is at subjunctivemood. I link to some of my relevant tumblr tags below, where they might help give you extra insight into what I enjoy about these canons and ships, if you're interested.

The prompts below are suggestions; if you think of something I didn't list but which seems like something I'd like, or if you are inspired to combine prompts in some way, that's fine.

General Do Not Wants: rape, explicit smut (fade to black/M-rated suggestiveness is fine), pregnancy/kidfic (exception below). The rest of my DNWs are pretty fandom-specific.

My likes and dislikes have changed over the past couple of years, so older letters might not be so helpful. Chances are if you really enjoy writing it, I'll really enjoy reading it. So some very general guidelines and suggestions:

• Even though this is a shipping exchange, I don't necessarily expect a happily ever after. Happy-for-now, ambiguous, open, and sad endings are welcome too.
  
• Any ratings are welcome for any ship, but I've identified some specific ships where I'd be good with strictly PWP. Otherwise, something outside/in addition to the sex is preferred.
  
• I've separated out "fic" and "art" requests for convenience's sake, but feel free to use whatever prompt for whatever medium.
  
• All kinds of canon divergence AUs are always welcome for any ship, but if I want an alternate-setting/all-human AU I'll usually request something specific and would not prefer it for any other ship/scenario.
  
• My one squick: sexual appearances by non-sexual bodily fluids (urine, vomit, etc). Non-sexual appearances (throwing up in a sickfic, frex) are fine.
  
• In relationships, I prefer "showing" over "telling" when it comes to love - i.e., showing what one character will do for another. "I love you" doesn't do much for me as a reader, basically. Think the five love languages. OTOH, I'm also cool with characters drawing lines about what they will/will not do for someone else even though they DO love them. I don't think "unconditional love" equals "unconditional action on the beloved's behalf," if that makes sense. I love when morality conflicts with desire, especially when it comes to villain/hero and similar pairings.
  
• The art prompts are more concise, but that doesn't mean I want art any less! I think it's just that describing scenes for art seems more straightforward than describing ideas for writing.

The themes of this letter are time loops, road trips, skinny dipping, and the post-apocalypse. If you managed to combine all of these into one work, you would have my undying love.

I have posted a lot of exchange letters, so feel free to trawl through those too, using the "dear creator" tag, although I borrow from them a lot.

General likes:

• For very actiony or supernatural canons, I really like curtain fic/domestic fic, especially if it gives a picture of "life in this crazy canon."
  
• Whump and hurt/comfort, in all forms. Amnesia, sickness, trauma, injury, whatever. Trauma aftermath and stories about coping (or not coping) do wonderful things for me.
  
• Apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic fic, including post-apocalyptic curtainfic (lol). Just no zombies. (Except Little Mosque - I would definitely read that zombie apocalypse with hearts in my eyes.)
  
• Open endings, including ambiguity about whether the relationship will work out if it's a shippy fic.
  
• Family dynamics, both found families and I'm-stuck-with-this-biofamily.
  
• Traveling and/or road trips. All the road trips.
  
• Sex pollen and all its non-flora incarnations, forever and always.
  
• Groundhog Day stories.
  
• Alternate universes (especially of the canon-divergent variety, but all are welcome that preserve the canon dynamics between characters).
  
• Difficult ethical quandaries for good/heroic characters.
  
• Worldbuilding.
  
• Pining (including unrequited) and miscommunication troubles.
  
• A/B/O AUs. For literally any of the fandoms I've requested, even if it would be lulzy. I love the idea of the A/B/O dynamic changing what we see in canon.
  
• Relationship/marriage tropes (undercover as a couple, marriage of convenience, sharing a bed, cooking as love, etc).
  
• Five things/times/etc, with different numbers or negations.
  
• Darkfic/horror. I've added some prompts from Crueltide. I'm not expecting the darkest of dark (although that's good too!) but anything that's fundamentally unhappy or heart-hurty too. Darkfic works best for me when there's a psychological component: a degrading sense of self, questioning one's own sanity or senses, creeping doubt, etc. While I don't need a happy ending, some sense of closure or resolution to the situation would be nice (even if our tortured hero is left with lingering psychological scars or is never the same again ...). No animal or child abuse or amputation, please. The only canon I definitely don't want darkfic for is Little Mosque on the Prairie.

↑ Feel free to consider all of these prompts.

General dislikes:

• Explicit, straight-up non-con/rape. References to the past or to current attempts to deal with trauma are totally fine.
  
• Kid fic/next gen/pregnancy fic. (exception: Little Mosque, Inhuman)
  
• On-screen wedding ceremonies or marriage proposals. (exception: Little Mosque)
  
• Soulmates/True Love. Love is great, but except for canons where True Love is built in (like OUAT), I tend toward thinking that all the relationships in a person's history are significant to them and don't become meaningless now that they've found someone else.
  
• Sexual appearances by non-sexual bodily fluids (non-sexual appearances are fine, if that makes sense).

I have zero preferences about ratings; stuff I read and look at regularly run the gamut from G to E. I would be happy to receive porn (if I've requested a ship) with or without plot. I'm cool with violence and horror, too. I'm a sucker for all character studies and portraits.

I'm equally excited about all the fandoms I've requested; don't worry that just because one section is particularly long or short, that's equivalent to how much I want it.

Thank you so much for writing for me! I really love AUs as a trope, both alternate settings and canon divergences, because it's such a great way to explore different possibilities for characters and relationships.

Something approaching canon characterization is important to me, though: even if they're not in exactly the same situation as in canon, hopefully the characters have the same motivations and personality. For example, even if they're not Asgardians, Loki and Thor should always be adopted siblings who grew up together and have lots of angst and family drama. Even if she's not an astrophysicist and works at an, idk, garden center, Jane Foster should be some kind of work-obsessed expert with crackpot theories.

Plus all of the AUs I've listed, lol.

General dislikes: straight-up non-con/rape, kid fic/next gen/pregnancy fic, on-screen wedding ceremonies or marriage proposals, soulmates/True Love, and sexual appearances by non-sexual bodily fluids (non-sexual appearances are fine, if that makes sense).

I have zero preferences about ratings; fics I read regularly run the gamut from G to E. I would be happy to receive porn with or without plot. I'm cool with violence and horror, too. I'm a sucker for all character studies.

For any fusion prompts, I don't expect the plot of the original to dominate, so don't worry if you can't make that work. I would be more than happy for any fics to be set in the Curse Workers/Inception worlds with original plots and characterizations.

Feel free to combine any of my prompts or play with them some. Consider them jumping off points, not strict mandates. :)

My letter is organized by pairing.

Dear Writer/Artist,

Hi! Thank you for creating something for me! In this letter, I want to give you a sense of what I like about the pairings I’ve requested as well as some more general tropes/plot devices/themes I like and prompts/ideas for both fic and art. I'm pretty easy to please, I think, even though there are lots of details and ideas here. As is hopefully clear, I'm just using the letter to throw out suggestions; if something else tickles your fancy, chase it away. A lot of the prompts below are in narrative form, but they're meant to inspire any kind of fanwork.

In general, I like the following things (consider them prompts for any of the pairings below): forced proximity, curtain fic/domestic fic, hurt/comfort, apocalypse/post-apocalyptic fic, post-apocalyptic curtainfic (lol), open endings, family dynamics, traveling and/or road trips, sex pollen, circus AUs, Groundhog Day stories, slow burns, friends-to-lovers, friends-to-FWB-to-lovers, canon AUs, and ethical quandaries.

Generally, I don’t like, or am not interested in, the following things: straight-up non-con/rape, kid fic/next gen/pregnancy fic, on-screen wedding ceremonies or marriage proposals (being engaged or married is fine), soulmates/True Love, and sexual appearances by non-sexual bodily fluids.

I have zero preferences about ratings; fics I read and art I enjoy regularly run the gamut from G to E. I would be happy to receive porn with or without plot. I'm cool with violence and horror, too.

Also: Just because I've requested it for a shipping exchange doesn't mean I necessarily expect a happy ending (although that is good too!). Unrequited pining, fantasizing about the other, angst, can't-be-together-because-circumstances, fic where one mourns the other's death/leaving: it's all good.

I'm equally excited about all the pairings I've requested; don't worry that just because one pairing is particularly long or short, that's equivalent to how much I care for it.
