Dear Shipoween Creator
Sep. 16th, 2019 09:29 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
everysecondtuesdayHi! I'm trying something new for Shipoween and not doing individual fandom sections except for copying over my requests and DNWs. (I'm also putting the fandom DNWs with the general DNWs.) If you're looking for ideas, I have a ton of themed and grouped likes, plus links to past letters for various themed exchanges with freeforms I still love.
As ever and always, I would like to emphasize, please don't feel obligated to read this letter in its entirety (or at all!). If you already have an idea of what you want to do from just the AO3 requests, go for it! This is all to (I hope) make it easier on you, and I am a big believer in optional details being optional. There being art/fic for my characters and fandoms will make me happy. Everything else is icing on delicious, delicious cake. Everything but my DNWs on AO3 is very, very optional.
If I flub the letter writing and editing process and mention something in my letter that is not on AO3 and in my sign-ups or if I phrase something poorly, I'd also like to emphasize that that's on me and you're free to pretend you didn't see it (or to ask the mods if you're still concerned). My DNWs are all listed under DNWs in my optional details on AO3. If it's something not listed under DNWs, then that's a preference, but I'm still going to read/look at and comment on your art/fic and (if history is anything to judge) be really happy with it.
For ease of finding me: tuesday on AO3, everysecondtuesday on tumblr.
On past gifts: I've received works in the past for several of my requested fandoms, which I loved! I just want more. If you matched me on it, I am sure I will love whatever you make me, whether it's along the lines of the gifts I've already received or something entirely new.
On other gifts: I am always open to treats and late gifts. If I've requested it on an AO3 exchange, I still want it, even years later. If you want to treat with mediums I haven't requested, I'm open to that. For Shipoween, while I've requested a variety of spooky/seasonal/no theme tags, for extra gifts, I'm happy to receive works that do not match the requested tags.
Recursive works: If you'd like to create a recursive work, I'm open to it for past gifts where you have permission (blanket or otherwise) and my own works. I'm also open to it for other works I know and love, but you may want to check through the mod to be sure I remember it even if it's something I've commented on in the past.
Spooky tag: I'm interpreting this tag very broadly. I'd be happy with something that has a supernatural element, something a little bit spooky or spoopy, or anything at that end of the spectrum. I'd also be happy with outright dark fic, horror, or otherwise on the opposite end of the spectrum. So long as you respect my DNWs, I'm good with whatever level of spookiness you like, from gentle spooks to screaming terrors.
Seasonal tag: I'm feeling very autumnal right now, but I would also love spring or whatever your local season is. I'd also love anything to do with holidays or seasonal stuff specific to the canons I'm requesting (for the ones I'm requesting this tag), like Halloween for Psych or whatever seasonal festivals or holidays Airplane Bro might have inflicted on his work or Asgardian harvest festivals.
Format Likes: I like all ratings for works, from General Audiences to Explicit. For fic, I'm open to any length, from drabbles and drabble series to just over the min to sprawling epics. I like both traditional fic and non-traditional and experimental formats, including interactive fiction, CYOA, epistolary, and multimedia. I prefer past or present tense. I generally prefer third person (especially consistent third person limited where POV shift only happens in scene breaks or doesn't happen at all) or a match to canon (which in some cases is going to be first or second). (I'm open to everything! These are just preferences.)
Art Likes: I like rough sketches and clean line art both, bright and dark colors to set mood, comics, scenery, single and group character poses, the cute and the creepy. All stages, all skill levels, all types, I always like seeing what someone else comes up with. Go as E- or G-rated as you'd like. I especially like character expressions and things that set mood (color, body language, composition, etc). I'm including some pose ideas, but please don't feel like you need to include any of them.
For some spooky poses or compositions I'd enjoy: running from things, hiding, flinching away, having the body language of something to be flinched away from, bleeding or covered in someone else's blood, reaching out (entreating or threatening), oblivious to the thing stalking them, smiling threateningly.
For shipping purposes, some non-explicit poses I especially like for ships are characters kissing (on the mouth, the temple, the top of the head, hands, the cheek, etc), holding hands, hugging, carrying each other (princess carry, fireman, piggyback, shoulder rides), and pressing their foreheads together. For explicit poses, feel free to take anything from my smut likes, but for something visual, I especially like bruises and marks, face touching, and hair-petting or pulling.
General Likes: worldbuilding, humor, horror, crack, canon-divergent AUs, other types of AUs (magic, cyberpunk, steampunk, regency, everyone lives, end of the world, sentinel and other fusions), IN SPACE, family and found family, friendship, machinations, intrigue, time travel, mysteries, time loops, magic, shenanigans, political negotiations, alliances of convenience, plot, developing relationships/friendships, character has the chance to re-do/relive events, reincarnation, mysteries, comedy of errors, competence, communication, codas, future fic.
Horror Likes: ghosts and ghost stories, monsters, isolation, trapped together, apocalypses and the post-apocalyptic life thereafter, murder mysteries, creeping horror, non-euclidean geometry and architecture, eldritch horrors, unethical experimentation, cannibalism (by choice or by necessity; knowing or unknowing), the undead, A.I. gone horribly wrong, A.I. gone horribly right, body horror, monkey's paws, artifacts of doom, mimics and people lures, plant monsters and killer horticulture, gallows humor.
Ship Likes: Soulmates and/or soul bonds. Alternate first meetings. Mutual pining. Didn't know they're dating, mistaken for dating, and fake dating. Undercover as a couple. Matchmaking and arranged marriages and courting. Friends to lovers. Extended courtships and whirlwind romance. Woke up married. Truth serum and trapped together and handcuffed together. Magic curses. Gestures of affection and intimacy. Firsts (dates, kisses, times).
Hurt/comfort: I have a whole host of freeforms I loved that I requested for hurt/comfort exchange + some thoughts on h/c at my h/c letter.
Smut Likes: all things vanilla, aftercare, anal with men on the receiving end (m/m, f->m, but not m->f or f/f), anal fingering with men on the receiving end (m/m, f->m, but not m->f or f/f), aphrodisiacs, bathing together, biting, blood play and/or still bleeding (characters roughed up from other causes and everyone still being dtf, especially), bondage/restraint (especially handcuffs, silk rope, ties or other things being repurposed, honor bondage), breath play, bruising, clothing kink, come-eating, cuddling, desperation, dirty talk, edging, electrostimulation, emotional sex/emotions during sex, enthusiastic consent, f/m pegging, face-fucking, face-sitting, face touching, first times (together or ever), for science!, frottage, gentleness, handholding, hair-petting, hair-pulling, held down, hickeys, hurt/comfort, impact play (but not as punishment), "inappropriate" use of magic/the Force/superpowers/technology, kissing, kneeling, laughter/joking around/banter during sex, loyalty kink, making out, manhandling, marking, masochism, massage, mating cycles/in heat (please all parties into each other beforehand), mentor/protege, multiple orgasms, object insertion, omega-verse, oral sex, overstimulation, oviposition, pain play, pervertibles, praise kink, robot sex, rimming (clean only), rushed sex, scent-marking, service kink, sensation play, sex pollen, sounding, switching, sugar daddy kink (but not use of the word "daddy"/daddy kink), tenderness, toys, trust, voice kink, voyeurism (consensual only), vulnerability.
If you'd like more thoughts on smut likes or to see prompts and freeforms I've requested in the past, I wrote a letter for smut swap.
If you're still looking for additional ideas and none of the likes appeal, I also love the freeforms I suggested for Just Married, Pining Exchange, AU Exchange, and Hurt/Comfort Exchange, so feel free to rifle through those and steal it for one of these fandoms. I also posted a whole list of Jump Scare freeforms I really like as its own post.
General DNWs:
- Focus on unrequested real life serious illness. (Weird confined to canon stuff like Without a Cure, qi deviations, or chakra exhaustion are fine. Cancer is not.)
- Graphic eye trauma. (References without detail are fine.)
- Infidelity, characters thinking they're engaged in infidelity, or major focus on/long scenes in which characters think the other character is being unfaithful.
- Focus on unrequested ships. (Presence of background or minor unrequested ships that do not contradict other DNWs is fine.)
- Romantic or sexual relationships between adults and minors. Explicit underage sex. (Aging up so everyone is over 18 is fine; between two people roughly the same age is fine, like a 17 and 19 year old; minors having unrequited crushes on adults is fine. References to teenagers being sexually active in teenager-typical ways is fine.)
- Focus on unrequited love. (It can be there: I just don't want it to be the story's focus.)
- Unrequested dub- or non-con or rape play (for dubcon likes or prompts, I'd prefer all parties to already be into each other in cases where consent is affected).
- Contract or 24/7 BDSM or use of the word "master" in a sexual context.
- The spelling "cum" (as opposed to "come").
- Bodily elimination or related substances in sex scenes.
- Painplay as a punishment or unintended and/or unwelcome sexual arousal from a punishment or torture. (If someone's getting spanked, I want it to be because they want it. If someone's getting tortured, I don't want it to be sexual.)
- Mommy/daddy kink (and any use of the words "mommy" or "daddy" or related in a sexual or romantic connotation)
- Anal without lubricant or stretching. Anal tearing. (Even if it's canon.)
- Anything involving nonfictional religions (e.g. Catholic priest!AUs), organized crime, slavery, sex work, or which would involve student/regular school teacher. (If something in this specific list is canon, it's fine to mention it/keep that canonical element, like SQQ having been a slave, but I'd prefer not to focus on it. Bingqiu is also fine.)
- Prison AUs. (Canonical imprisonment is fine.)
- AUs in which canon universes with fantastical elements (magic, chakra, super powers, the Force) have said fantastical elements removed without anything equivalent to replace it and are turned entirely mundane.
- Art with strobing effects/rapid bright flashing lights.
Doctor Strange DNWs:
- Hopelessly unhappy endings.
- Permanent requested character death.
MCU DNWs:
- Hopelessly unhappy endings.
- Permanent requested character death.
- Peter/Tony poly involving people other than Peter or Tony (other poly is fine).
- Any mention of Peter Parker in a Tony ship fic that is not Tony/Peter.
- Contentious break-up between Tony and Pepper. (They never dated, amicable break up, and poly in a non-P/T fic are all fine.)
- Morgan existing only to be erased from existence within the story (never existing in the first place in the story is fine).
- Death of anyone important to Peter or Tony (e.g. May, Pepper, Ned, Rhodey), except impermanent requested character death. Death at all of Goose. (Essentially: Requested characters can die in time loops that are reset or die and be resurrected in other ways, but please don't kill Tony or Peter's other loved ones or Goose at all.)
Psych DNWs:
- Hopelessly unhappy endings.
- Permanent character death of any Psych character.
- Major physical harm done to Gus or Juliet.
- Child abuse.
Rubyquest DNWs:
- Permanent character death of Ruby. (Everyone else is i n d a n g e r.)
- Explicit sexual content.
Scum Villain DNWs:
- Hopelessly unhappy endings.
- Character death of: ZZL. (If you're going with post-canon, please either don't mention him or pretend with me that he definitely survived.)
- Permanent character death of: Airplane Bro!SQH, MBJ (any), Bingmei, Shen Yuan, SV!verse LQG, NYY (any). (Temporary character death is fine, both canon and not.)

In closing and because this bears repeating no matter the exchange:
My number one hope for my gift is that my gift creator has a good time with it, so let me emphasize again that I'm just happy that there will be more stuff for one of these ships and fandoms. Whatever you end up doing, I'm hoping it's something you enjoy about the fandom and have fun making.
Have a happy Shipoween! ♥
