ungefugHey there, thanks for creating something for me!
Regarding Rule 63 as a concept and what I want out of it, it's mostly that I want to read about women in those roles you rarely ever see women in, whether that's being polar exporers in the 19th century or gross, violent rapists.
Meaning quite bluntly, unless otherwise specified, I'm less interested in the question of how this character would have lived a different life if they were a woman, if the answer is that everything would have been totally different, as is usually the case with historical and even many modern fandoms (ask female wrestlers how their experience differs from the men, or female soldiers), especially if the answer is that their life would be depressing. I am more interested in them living the same life - just as a woman.
Basically, I want to read about that navy captain still being a captain and not a) undercover dressed as a man b) bullied and discriminated by her male peers c) married off, now a housewife with three kids and never to be sailing the seas d) faced with the terrible fate of being pregnant on a three year voyage, or any such struggles with patriarchy and biology.
The amount of hand waving and world building you'll have to pull off for this obviously depends on the setting and kind of story you tell, and I'm okay with some suggestions of sexism. Maybe the woman gunslinger in the Wild West gets weird looks - I just don't want her to be correctively raped to get back into the kitchen, you know. Also I am very much interested in matriarchy (or equality) worldbuilding where perhaps the whole navy is simply manned (hah) by women or female wrestlers are the ones making the money and guys are valets and belittled as eye candy.
Genderbending Side Characters
Maybe I should explicitely state it... most of my requests are M/M to F/F and feature men who are canonically also attracted to women (aside from the requested ship, I mean). If you want to keep that straight attraction and also turn their canonical female love interests, partners, affairs etc into men that's cool with me (e.g. Hannibal's Alana Bloom is now Alan Bloom, Freddie Lounds is a man once again, the so called "rats" in the world of wrestling are largely men), but if you want to keep them women and make everyone lesbian, that's cool too. Or of course if the subject never even comes up at all.
The same applies to other side characters; that wrestler's trainer can be a woman now too, the whole damn ship's crew is turned into women etc.
Smut
If you do write/draw smut for me, I love Rule 63 to explore kinks and dynamics that are less explored in F/F and F/M - e.g. how often do you get to read sweaty hairy sailors frotting on the poop deck in F/F? Not enough. But also any tit groping, clit sucking smut is good.
Art
For art specifically, as you might have guessed, I like when it somewhat keeps the original spirit the same, even if that means the women look somewhat or very butch. Hair doesn't need to be grown out, makeup applied or trousers switched out for skirts - although figuring out who would dress which way I guess is half the fun, like e.g. Hannibal Lecter presenting very femme as means of manipulation.
Names
I'm okay with keeping the names identical (works much better in historical canons where you use last names, of course), or picking one that sounds similar. I struggle a bit with names that might make sense in some smart way but don't look similar.
Likes
Here's a link to my general list of likes and to my smut and kink likes.
