General

Hey there! Thank you for writing for me. I'll try to explain some of the things I love, but in the end its your writing and I'm happy to read whatever you come up with, especially since those fandoms are so rare. If you feel like "this is too weird, too out there, I shouldn't" - don't worry. I'd rather be surprised than bored.

I am fine with any rating and flavor of fic from fluff and romance and bonding to explicit smut. Some requests are from non existant fandoms, so I am really just glad to read any take at all there.

I love a short bit of flowery prose just as much as something plot or dialogue driven. Style is substance, substance is substance. Word count is just a number. The only thing I am not super fond of is excessively navelgazing introspective work that ventures into straight up analysis.

You can also check out my letters from other exchanges on here, which will be relevant if you're writing dark and/or sexy content (there is one for dubcon/noncon).

Smut:

I have a general purpose list of smut things that interest me here.

• sex as an exploration of emotions and interpersonal dynamics
• noncon/dubcon
• non-penetrative sex (intercrural, handjobs, frottage etc)
• clothed sex
• unhygenic sex and body fluids
• sadism and masochism
• realistic bodies (body fat, hair, small dicks etc)
• differences in size and body type (in particular if the bigger guy is not "topping")
• unpleasant, awkward sex

Do Not Write

• underage sex written to arouse (especially prepubescent, I might be ok with late-ish teen)
• mundane bdsm/kink things* (formal negotiations, sex toys, diapers, daddy/mommy kink, latex outfits, roleplay, whipping in the bedroom rather than as corporal punishment on deck of the ship)
• terminal illness, cancer*
• dementia, amnesia, Alzheimer's*
• infantilization
• mpreg, kidfic
• mundane modern AU (coffee shop, college, rock band etc.)
• significant changes to canon characters such as sex, race, age or ethnicity
• alpha/beta/omega (and similar worldbuilding with assigned roles)

Prompts

1. Der Prinz von Homburg | The Prince of Homburg - Heinrich von Kleist 
2. Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)
3. Der junge Törless | Young Törless (1966)
4. The Terror (TV 2018) 

Der Prinz von Homburg | The Prince of Homburg - Heinrich von Kleist   
Graf Hohenzollern/Prinz Friedrich Arthur von Homburg (TPOH)

I'm very much into the aesthetics of this play (uniforms AND blindfolds?!), hierarchies, dreams, mock (?) executions, obedience, disobedience - the drama. Graf Hohenzollern seems like a devoted friend, but he is also a somewhat two faced character. First time or established relationship. You don't have to stick to the Prussian setting, I like a good Space Opera too. Missing scene, smut, their past, their future.

Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)

I really like the setting of this film, the eeriness and the mystery. I read the book too (I found it a bit annoying in its portrayal of the female characters though, so don't feel bound by it). My prompts focus on the relationship aspect but the relationship may take the backseat for worldbuilding and mood.

Miranda Reid/Sara Waybourne (PAHR)



I think with Miranda and Sara it can be sweet or a little dark (Miranda being adored but not as fond of Sara as she is of her) and of course there is some drama with the way the story goes with Miranda's disappearance, which I am ok with but I kind of enjoy just reading about the girls at school, hair combing, neck kisses, first times, a growing relationships or an established one. One sided affection turning out to be mutual. Sara completely head over heels in love and Miranda is just like super casual about it.

Albert Crundall/Michael Fitzhubert (PAHR)



I was happy to see that the book made their relationship a little more obvious. This is a bit of a Maurice kind of thing with a couple finding love across class differences and the book in particular has this scene where Michael invites Albert to live with him and they touch on the whole "we won't be seen as equal but we will be happy". I'd like to see flirting, going out for hikes, horse riding, going swimming, Michael being very bothered by Albert's natural comfort in nudity, body worship, just tender explorations, first times or a glimpse of their established relationship. I'd also enjoy a bit of difference in sexual experience with Albert knowing the ropes, but if you write first time smut, please don't have Albert straight up buggering Michael. Perfectly fine with the vice versa arrangement though.

Der junge Törless | Young Törless (1966)      
Reiting/Törless (DJT), Beineberg/Törless (DJT), Beineberg/Reiting (DJT)

I nominated the film, because it's a quick watch, but I also read the book. I like their evil little cabal, the red room hideout with all the props. Whether it's just them exploring their sexuality with each other (Beineberg and Reiting being super casual about it, unlike nervous Törless) or part of their whole fucked up power plays and bdsm (there is no other way to put it). Fine with all flavours of noncon, dubcon, terrible experiences all around. All three together is fine too. Punishment for Törless's betrayal, they try to pull him out of his observer role. Törless's gender troubles (there is some mention in the book of him feeling like a girl as a child, I think). Beineberg's slender fingers. Fencing. Alcohol. Reiting roughing up Beineberg. There is plenty of room for dark fic, but I am also ok with dark characters having a normal time.
 

The Terror (TV 2018)  

I selected some genuinly rare ships here, so this might be a bit odd!
  
Thomas Jopson/Solomon Tozer (The Terror), Thomas Jopson/Original Male Character(s) (The Terror)

I think Jopson deserves to have a good, no strings attached sexy fun time with someone who is not his boss. Even better if he is in charge (fond of Topson here but it doesn't have to feature penetrative sex or clear roles at all). I read a Jopson/Tozer fic in which Tozer tries to hit on him and that just sparked my interest, because I can see them spotting each other across the room, gaydar reading maxed out. Cruising, flirting, kissing, pwp. Dancing, Sol needs some sewing help, Jops gives him a shave, Jops surprises Sol by beating him at arm wrestling. Some AU where lieutenant Jopson bosses him around. Jopson is the one guarding Sol in his tent (if you want to go slighly darker).
The OC follows the same logic, be it someone aboard the ship or in his past.

Graham Gore/Solomon Tozer (The Terror)

I have simple needs. They are both big boys and dare I say: himbos, I want to see them together. Similarly to the Jopson ship, lighthearted, unrepressed normal fun times are appreciated. Wrestling, friendly competitions turning sexual, flirting, dancing, shooting lessons, banter while having a piss, Solomon's fanon corset, pwp.

Harry D. S. Goodsir/Stephen S. Stanley (The Terror)

I read a fic which had Goodsir complaining about Stanley sexually harassing him and it kind of stuck with me, because of how genuinely terribly sorry it made me feel for Goodsir. This terrible feeling is what I am looking for. Forced medical procedures (Goodsir really is some kind of sick or it's just the classic hysteria excuse), possessive fawning, gaslighting, sadism or harassment. Ace, autistic or virgin Goodsir is interesting or a combination thereof, but I also like him curious, or detached and scientific about sex. Goodsir could be completely naive or fully aware of what Stanley is doing to him but unable to change anything about it.

Cornelius Hickey/Thomas Jopson (The Terror)

I like any variations on them fighting and or/fucking where it's a struggle for power. Hickey tries to break Jops but Jops turns the tables on him or belittles him. Jops tries to humiliate Hickey but Hickey smiles it off and Jops just feels miserable and dirty about it afterwards. Knife fights? Jopson just snapping and showing his feral side. They might have a shared history (street life, sex work). Crozier living in both their heads rent free. All of this sounded very dubcon, because I struggle to come up with settings where Jopson doesn't despise Hickey but feel free to convince me otherwise.
