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). To explain: what I don't want to see is a (requested) character being treated in a way you wouldn't treat an animal. Like having each and every single decision the character makes being questioned, or all but being denied to even live. I hope this clarifies this a bit.

- No discussion of real-life politics and the awfulness therein! The same goes for both the pandemic and the Ukraine crisis, please!

- 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 tags/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 live 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. See, for example, Clint Barton, who has lost almost his entire hearing, but still can be a top-notch agent thanks to hearing aids; or Matt Murdock, who's not only a quite successful lawyer, but moonlights as Daredevil, despite his blindness. This is the venue I would like to see in a work (superhero shenanigans are optional XD).

- 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 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 characters listed ;) And the tags mentioned for a certain fandom are mostly interchangeable, so if you see something in a different fandom that would fit to your idea for what we’ve been matched on, feel free to work with it XD

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

Marvel Cinematic Universe
(was 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, Marc Spector and Bucky Barnes, 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. I'm pretty much up-to-date with the MCU (except for the latest Ant-Man and Guardians movie).

Pairings
- Clint Barton/Kate Bishop/Phil Coulson
- Clint Barton/Loki/Natasha Romanov
- Clint Barton/Matt Murdock

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

Agent Carter

Like with so many other shows, I only discovered this gem when it was already over :( Nonetheless, I love the barely 20 episodes we got in two seasons to pieces, and the same can be applied to a lot of the main characters: Next to Peggy, I also love Daniel, Dottie, Angie, Ana, Edwin, and Howard, and despite him doing his worst, Jack also grew on me over the run XD I headcanon that Jack survived the shooting at the end of the series, so feel free to set your work post-series (just have Daniel and Peggy split shortly after the kiss, or they never got together in the first place; no cheating please!)

Pairings
- Daniel Sousa/Jack Thompson
- Peggy Carter/Daniel Sousa/Jack Thompson
- Peggy Carter/Dottie Underwood

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

The Mandalorian

Back in the day when the first season aired, I wasn't exactly interested in anything Star Wars-related (yet) XD Still, I couldn't miss all the gifs of Grogu, or Baby Yoda, as he was called then, popping up on my tumblr dashboard. Yet, it wasn't enough to get me into it. It should take until 2022, when I finally got into Star Wars and tried to watch everything that was there, that I immersed myself in the most wonderful found family to date, and the adventures of Mando and Grogu. Love pretty much everyone on the good side, with a leaning towards Fennec, Ahsoka, Koska, Bo-Katan and Cara. If possible, keep Moff Gideon, the client and the creepy doctor completely out of your work (mentioning them once or twice is okay-ish)

Pairings
- The Armorer/Bo-Katan Kryze
- Din Djarin/Bo-Katan Kryze

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

Star Wars: The Book Of Boba Fett

To be honest, the bounty hunter Boba Fett, as we see him in the Original Trilogy, is not exactly on my favorite characters list XD But the Boba we get presented here (and in his guest appearances on "The Mandalorian") is definitely more up my alley. Seeing him fumbling his way through being the most unusual "mayor" for Mos Espa is, by times, downright funny, enhanced by Fennec's comments. Feel free to have Cobb Vanth, Peli Motto or Garsa show up in your work as well, but please keep both Cad Bane and the Hutts to a minimum.

Pairings
- Boba Fett/Fennec Shand
- Din Djarin/Boba Fett/Fennec Shand

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

Star Wars: The Clone Wars
(was split up in the sign-up)

Got into the series in my quest to see everything that is there in the larger Star Wars Universe XD I almost immediately fell in love with Ahsoka, but I also love the portrayals of Obi-Wan, Padmé and Anakin, whose fall to the dark side in the prequels now makes a lot more sense (in my opinion, it was a tad too abrupt in the movies, but the series fills a lot of gaps for me). I also love all the clones we get to know, especially Cody and Rex. I also love the Bad Batch characters (both in their appearance on TCW and in their own series), so I included them here as well.

Pairings

Star Wars Original Trilogy

As said in other letters, I took my sweet time to get to both the Original and the Sequel trilogies. Sure, I knew who Leia, Luke or Han were, but I definitely couldn't tell you more details about their lives at all. I redeemed myself by watching all eleven movies in January 2022, and what can I say? I fell in love with many characters, especially the space princess rebel named Leia Organa. Feel free to include R2-D2, Yoda or other characters from these three movies in your work.

Pairings
- Leia Organa/Luke Skywalker/Han Solo

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

Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

For a long time, these three movies were the only Star Wars I had seen. And while I can now say that they are the "weakest" three in the entire saga, they still are better than critics would want you to believe. Like I use to say, some things could have done differently, but then again, that's where we fanfic authors come in, right? ;) Padmé is, hands down, my favorite female character in the Prequels, with Obi-Wan as her male counterpart, and I'm shipping them two together XD (or with Ani as a real power trio ;) ) Feel free to have her handmaidens around, as well as almost everyone else on the good side (yes, including Jar Jar XD), but keep Palpatine to a minimum, please.

Pairings
- Padmé Amidala/Mon Mothma
- Padmé Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi
- Padmé Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker
- Qui-Gon Jinn/Anakin Skywalker

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

Star Wars Sequel Trilogy

Right now the trilogy I feel most at home. As I said with the prequels, there are things that could have done better, but definitely not enough to keep me from rewatching them once in a while XD I simply love Poe Dameron (and yes, part of it has to do with that he's played by Oscar Isaac), and his relationships with BB-8, Leia, Finn and Rey. The rest of the pack (from the good side) follows with some distance, and both Kylo/Ben and Armitage are growing on me. If anything, please keep your work (as much as possible) free from both Snoke and Palpatine (including the storyline of Rey's parentage).

Pairings
- Poe Dameron/Amilyn Holdo
- Poe Dameron/Finn/Armitage Hux
