Multifandom Tropefest 2019 Letter

[iomixit]

Dear Author,

Squee! I’m glad we matched and I can’t wait to see what you come up with. I’d love a tropey romp through most anything and I hope something inspires you. If the freeforms don’t match up exactly, I’ve also provided a list of general likes! But honestly, as long as you don’t hit my DNW’s please feel free to go wild. If you’d like to get to know me better as a reader/writer, I'm asuralucier on Ao3.

My DNWs are:
-AUs (Canon Divergence Fine and Encouraged) - normally, I love AUs but I'd rather not for any of these fandoms in particular since I love these fandoms as themselves and would rather read things that are set in canonverse. But honestly I have a very loose definition of Canon Divergence anyway, so you’ve got a lot of leeway. Example: I would consider “Coffee shop AU but still takes place in canonverse” divergent.)
-Anything involving space or supernatural creatures
- Smut specific DNWs: rape/non-con, abo-related sexual activity, anything that should be done on the toilet, animals, sexual activity involving characters under 16 (ftb or mentions fine).
- Fics featuring kid characters that are not in canon. I don't mind them turning up; what I do mind is their taking over the plot.
- Character Bashing by narrative (characters taking the piss out of each other is fine, with my fandoms it’s probably a given!)
- Second person POV

General likes:

+ I love unresolved sexual tension (UST). I want to squirm with the characters and honestly, if you include this, I’m just as happy for it not to be resolved.
+ I love characters who READ. I also like getting strange recommendations off of fanfics I read. So please, if you have characters read, I will be so so happy. On that note, I love love literary allusions, philosophising about history and the nature of time, banter, irony, and well-thought out cringe. Also WORDPLAY, PUNS? Nothing is too silly or obscure.
+ I love food porn/drinks porn. The second one sounds odd, but I once read a story that spent so much time describing cocktails and I fell in love. So yes, I’m all about characters enjoying their food and cooking and drinking.
+ Angst. I love love angst. Give me all the angst. Reasons for angst can include: moral ambiguity, guilt, failed ambitions, thoughtful portrayals of grief, depression, PTSD, lost loves and all the rest. I also don't mind character death, but please please don't let it be a cheap plot point for angst.
+ Other general things that strike my fancy: loyalty/friendship, mindgames, locked room scenarios, lush descriptions of feeling and emotions, outsider POV, character study, characters being tied to a place, travel, sensitively handled difficult topics.
+ Smut likes: teasing, helping each other undress/ruined clothing/frottage, blow jobs, tattoo licking, sex in semi public places, voyeurism, phone sex, fluid sexual dynamics (ie no strict top/bottom roles), edging, pain kink/painplay, rimming (for m/m ships only), fingering, cunnilingus, awkward sex, overstimulation


As this is a freeform exchange, I think most of the freeforms speak for themselves, but I’ve included mini-ship manifestos in my signup proper, feel free to take or leave. I find that I tend to really enjoy a fic doubly if you enjoy writing it, so I hope you do :). Cheers again!
