Dear Holly Poly Creator...

[sandy79]

thank you so much for making anything for me! No matter what it is, I already know that I will love it to the moon (and back)! *hugs*

General Preferences
most of them fit both fics and fanart, though I have written them for writers

DO NOT WANT

- Non-canonical character death (especially, of course, in the pairings I requested, but also in general) - temporary character death is okay, but the "dead" character should be back with the others in the end (or at least the way back should begin to be paved)

- Funerals (comes from my RL abhorrence for them – too much bad emotion!) – visits to existing gravesites (with or without a heartfelt, one-sided conversation) are okay, though!

- Hurt without comfort

- Super dark!characters (accidental darkness (i.e. a character following another one in a manner that borders on stalking, but stays on the rather humorous side, especially if the followed character notices it early on and decides to play along) is okay, the same goes for using manners that are not exactly only on the good side to reach their goal ;)

- Character or ship bashing (If you can't stand a character/ship, please man up and contact the mods for a change, or reach out)

- No discussion of real-life politics and the awfulness therein! The same goes for the pandemic and/or the Ukraine crisis, thank you!

- Rape/non-con (dub-con is okay to a certain degree - if you're not sure, please reach out)

- Breakup fic (you can break them up, but bring them back together in the end)

- Characters being shown as dumb / demoted in their intelligence / reduced to being just a "tool" in someone else's belt.

- No sexual situations with underage characters. Please age them up if you want to create something with them.

- for any A/B/O ideas – no characterization of omegas as “birth machines” or demoting them their basic human rights

- When writing characters with a disability (in canon/temporary) – please don’t picture that disability as a handicap (e.g. a blind character that has to completely rely on other people to get the most basic things in life done). A lot of disabled people in RL have adapted and live a wonderful, rich life like any other, so please keep that in mind.

- Another absolute No-Go for me: ANY form of racism, misogyny, discrimination because of sexual orientation, gender, religion or color (not even a trace of it, please!).

LIKES

Smart characters!
Or (at least) being competent in what they are doing, even when they know there might be consequences (can also be used as a kink!)

Idiots in Love!
Which means for me the characters are pining for each other without knowing the other's true feelings, and usually realize it later on (with or without some helping hands!)

Everybody's Alive!
Most of my fandoms have their fair share of sad-ending relationships (in any flavor), so if you can give me some happy ending, with nobody dying (as noted above, temporary deaths are okay), and with as much fluff as you can, I'm (more than) good!

Romance Tropes!
I'm pretty much game for almost all of them XD (if written in a good way), but I have kind of a soft spot for the following: friends with benefits (that might evolve into something more serious), slight jealousy/possessiveness (not over the top display, please, but simple gestures/words are okay - as long as both partners can laugh about it afterwards, you're good), Cuddling (works also on the friendship front), Misunderstandings (as long as they are clarified and don't drive a wedge between the characters), Fake Dating (that evolves into real dating), Fake Marriage, A/B/O (in a way that doesn't display omegas as birthing machines only/demotes them to humans with no rights whatsoever), Bed Sharing (both at the beginning of a love relationship or friendship), Meet-Cutes (and Meet-Uglys that get turned around)

AUs!
Don't get me wrong, I love my fandoms just right as they are (in terms of setting/time and all that jazz), but I love reading about the characters in a different time/setting. Favorites include: Space AU, Modern AU (for any fandom that's usually set in an earlier time frame - vice versa for any modern setting fandom), Band AU

Working relationships!
In a way where the characters have managed to have an established relationship while working in the same field (for example cops, or FBI agents), probably despite the misgivings of their bosses, but now they have to live with the "consequences" aka the emotions that threaten to take them over when the other half is in a dangerous situation (and yes, they know each other better, but especially when one of them is known for reckless behavior, they can't help but worry, most of the time to the slight amusement of their colleagues)

Case fics!
Be it within the lines of the established fandom setting or in an AU, a clever written case, with some unexpected twists and turns and some mystery (that isn't too difficult to explain in the end), is very welcomed and enjoyed at this place!

Smut!
As I love to write whenever something like this letter comes up - I'm a big girl, so don't hesitate to go as smutty as you are comfortable with! First times are as perfect as new sides in an established relationship - as long as the characters are happy afterwards, I'm as well! For Artists: don't be afraid to show certain bits (both boys and girls) ;)

Crossovers & Fusions!
I usually request this in signups only if I have a slot free, but I’m always open for crossovers (even with fandoms I’m not so familiar with XD). The same goes for fusions (e.g. Neal Caffrey being an MI-6 agent like James Bond, maybe meeting him).

Music!
I'm a music aficionado at heart (with a heavy preference for music up until the early 1990's), a huge Bon Jovi fan, but if you can incorporate any song out there, feel free to broaden my horizon, so to speak. I also never say no to any kind/variation of Band AU/Musician AU.

Strong Female Characters!
That’s something that turned up on my radar rather recently XD I love independent characters in general, but there’s something about it in combo with a female character. And if they have a so-called “weak” moment, it’s either because they chose it themselves, or that they feel comfortable enough in the company of others to let their guard down.

There's definitely more to these lists, but these are my absolute favorites (or dislikes). And I repeat once again: If you're not sure about anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to me via the mods.

*********************

Fandoms

I might give you some pointers as to what I would love to see/read, but in the end, I'm open to anything you want to give me. Of course you can include any other character from the fandoms, but please keep the focus on the pairings listed ;)

*********************

Marvel 616

I openly admit that my comic knowledge is still somewhat limited (but I'm getting better XD), but I also see these exchanges as a way to learn XD So feel free to enlighten me ;)

*********************

Marvel Cinematic Universe
(split-up in the sign-up)

I love the MCU in general, and there are probably a handful characters that I can't stand (mostly the villains). My most favorite characters are Clint Barton, Bucky Barnes, Natasha Romanoff, and Marc Spector/Steven Grant/Jake Lockley, with everyone else right behind them (to a certain degree with some characters, but that's more due to storytelling). Feel free to include certain aspects from the comics as well (i.e. Clint being deaf/having to wear hearing aids, or having Lucky at his side, or Bucky taking up the mantle of Captain America). I'm pretty much open for any pairings, as long as they are working for me (or you can explain it why these two characters are perfect together). Only exceptions are: Bruce/Natasha (as teased in Age of Ultron); Steve/Sharon (as implied in Civil War), Grandmaster/Loki (this is more on the fic side, I didn't get that certain vibe from the movie); any pairings that involve any of the bad guys (like Rumlow, or Rollins), I accept past relationships here, but no present ones.

Star Wars - All Media Types
(split up in the sign-up)

For a very long time, I wasn't really interested in the adventures from a galaxy far, far away. Well, until this January, when I finally took the plunge and started with the movies. By now, I have made my way also into the TV shows (and have fallen oh so hard for a cute, small, green-skinned being and his adoptive daddy XD). Nonetheless, my top three characters are still Padmé, Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor version), and Poe Dameron, with pretty much everyone else following behind (a few exceptions for Empire and Sith members, though, but I'll accept them showing up in a guest star manner anyway)

Pairings

- Padmé Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Ahsoka Tano
- Padmé Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Satine Kryze/Anakin Skywalker
- Padmé Amidala/Owen Lars/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Beru Whitesun

*********************

The Two Faces Of January

I openly admit that this made its way into this letter solely for the fact that it's an Oscar Isaac movie XD I've seen it once, and I was immediately drawn to the (sexual) tension between Ryder and the MacFarlands.

Pairings

- Rydal Keener/Chester MacFarland/Colette MacFarland

*********************

Smallville

Along with Star Trek and the Mummy Trilogy the oldest fandom in this letter, and one I wouldn't really have paid attention to, if not for Jensen Ackles playing Jason Teague in Season 4 XD Good thing I did, otherwise I would have missed not only the addition of "my" Oliver Queen (I like Stephen Amell's take, but Justin's version is and probably forever will be my favorite ;), but also his budding friendships with both Lois and Clark (which I can see easily slip into something more). I actually love Oliver's relationship with Chloe, so please don't bash her. If you have to break them up, do it in an amicable way, thank you.

Pairings

- Clark Kent/Lois Lane/Oliver Queen

*********************

The Mummy Trilogy

I love adventure movies in general, but in recent history, this genre seemed to have died off. Luckily, we have movies like these three (though I have a slight preference for the first two). What's there not to love? A dashing hero, an only apparent damsel in distress (this movie was the starting point for my Rachel Weisz crush XD), sidekicks that are way more than that (especially Mr. Bay - I'm a fan of Oded Fehr ever since then), and all that topped off with locations you want to go on holiday right away, and glorious banter between the main characters.

Pairings

- Ardeth Bay/Evy Carnahan O'Connell/Rick O'Connell

*********************

Star Trek Classic Timeline

I grew up with the TNG episodes airing on TV, and even these days, if I happen to catch one, I watch it XD On the other hand, I barely have watched any other series (except for the three reboot movies of the classic Star Trek), but I think I know enough about the characters from the other series (besides, most of my requests are TNG-adjacent anyway XD). Please refrain from using Q, even in mentions. He just annoys me a tad too much.

Pairings

- Beverly Crusher/Deanna Troi/Tasha Yar
- Beverly Crusher/Jack Crusher/Jean-Luc Picard
- Beverly Crusher/Jean-Luc Picard/William Riker/Deanna Troi
- Beverly Crusher/Kathryn Janeway/William Riker/Deanna Troi
- Beverly Crusher/Raffi Musiker/Seven of Nine/Deanna Troi
- Beverly Crusher/William Riker/Deanna Troi
- Beverly Crusher/William Riker/Deanna Troi
- James T. Kirk/Leonard "Bones" McCoy/Spock
- Michael Burnham/Christopher Pike/Sylvia Tilly
- Pavel Chekov/Hikaru Sulu/Nyota Uhura

*********************

Crossover Fandom

I love Crossovers in general, but usually in exchange signups, this category barely holds anything interesting for me (or if it does, it still gets cut from the requests due to other fandom favorites)

Pairings

- James "Bucky" Barnes (MCU)/Clint Barton (Marvel 616)/Jason Todd (DCU)
- Poe Dameron (Star Wars)/Steven Grant (MCU)/Marc Spector (MCU)
- Marlene Alraune (Marvel 616)/Layla El-Faouly/Steven Grant/Jake Lockley/Marc Spector (MCU)
- Clint Barton (Marvel 616)/Dick Grayson (DCU)/Kurt Wagner (Marvel 616)
