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)
- No discussion of real-life politics and the awfulness therein! The same goes for the pandemic and/or 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 – 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.
- 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.
*********************
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 ;) 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
*********************
Smallville
Back in the day, I started to watch a little show called “Supernatural”, which made me fall hard for Jensen Ackles. As per usual, I began to watch him in other roles – and landed on this show. By now, it’s one of the few shows I own completely on DVD, and next to Jensen’s character Jason Teague, I also found my favorite Oliver Queen, portrayed by Justin Hartley, and my favorite Lois Lane, played by the wonderful Erica Durance.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch
Ever since they were first introduced in "Attack Of The Clones", the clone troopers are somewhat like the backbone of the Star Wars franchise. And while we always had clones that stood out from the crowd, like Rex, Cody, Fives or Echo, the introduction of Clone Unit 99 in the first episode of "The Clone Wars" Season 7 was a quite remarkable one, especially because the five guys in that unit not only looked quite differently to the other clones, they also had a much different behavior to the regular soldiers. I liked them in the two episodes of TCW, and really came to love them in the two seasons of "The Bad Batch" we had so far. And while all points to Tech being dead, I still have hope that we haven't seen the last of "Brown Eyes" ;) Feel free to have the others, including Crosshair, around as well, but please keep any of the Imperial officers and scientists at a minimum.

Black Widow
I’ve still not forgiven the powers that be that they killed off Natasha in “Endgame” *sobs* Well, at least we got this long-due movie to give us some solace. Our favorite redhead is still a force to be reckoned with, and she brings along two other great female characters – Melina Vostokoff and Yelena Belova.

Captain Marvel
Like with so many other comic-based characters, I barely knew anything about Ms. Danvers and her all-powerful Alter Ego until the movie. The same can be said about Brie Larson, but in the end, I fell in love with Carol, along with Maria, Monica, Nick and Phil. Yon-Rogg was interesting (and well cast with Jude Law), and I'm really curious about his whereabouts after the movie.

Star Wars: The Book Of Boba Fett
Truth be told, in his movie appearances, Boba didn't hold a great interest for me. Mostly because we barely knew anything about him. Sure, the Prequel movies and the Clone Wars series filled some spaces, but still, the man under the Mandalorian armor was mostly a mystery to me. Then the series came along, and finally, we learned a bit more about him. Plus, we got introduced to one of the best female characters in Star Wars, one Fennec Shand (who I love to pieces).

X-Men (Movieverse)
The Original Timeline movies from the late 1990s/early 2000s actually were my introduction to the Marvel side of the comic world, and recently, I finally watched all the movies that are out there, including "Dark Phoenix". I love both sides (read: the Stewart/McKellen versions as well as the McAvoy/Fassbender ones), but my #1 favorite character still is Logan/Wolverine, followed by all those listed below, along with Jean, Kitty, Bobby and Remy.

Agents Of SHIELD
This show literally took the scenic route into my favorites XD Back when it first aired, I not only didn't know any of the characters (except for Phil Coulson), it also was almost impossible to watch it here in good old Europe. I only took notice of it with its last season, and redempted myself with watching all the seasons in almost one go XD Feel free to have other characters appear as well, from both the series and the larger MCU (e.g. Clint, Tony, Steve)

Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
As I love to tell in these letters, this reboot didn’t really catch my attention when it first hit the cinemas. First off, I already had enough on my proverbial fandom plate, and second, only Eric Bana and Simon Pegg rang a bell in my head XD Fast forward a few years, and a local TV station airs the first movie. When the credits ran, I felt myself “educated” somehow. Why? Because I realized that I not only knew these two gentlemen, but almost everyone else on the bridge as well (except for Zachary and John). Chris Pine and Bruce Greenwood were namely known, both Anton Yelchin and Zoe Saldana had left their impressions on me with unforgettable characters (Anton in both “Without A Trace” and “Criminal Minds”, Zoe in “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “The Losers”). But the biggest “surprise” came in the person of my favorite Kiwi Karl Urban, who I knew since his days on LOTR and which caused me to say “Oh hello Eomer” in the direction of my screen XD

Star Wars: The Bad Batch
Ever since they were first introduced in "Attack Of The Clones", the clone troopers are somewhat like the backbone of the Star Wars franchise. And while we always had clones that stood out from the crowd, like Rex, Cody, Fives or Echo, the introduction of Clone Unit 99 in the first episode of "The Clone Wars" Season 7 was a quite remarkable one, especially because the five guys in that unit not only looked quite differently to the other clones, they also had a much different behavior to the regular soldiers. I liked them in the two episodes of TCW, and really came to love them in the two seasons of "The Bad Batch" we had so far. And while all points to Tech being dead, I still have hope that we haven't seen the last of "Brown Eyes" ;) Feel free to have the others, including Crosshair, around as well, but please keep any of the Imperial officers and scientists at a minimum.

Black Widow
I’ve still not forgiven the powers that be that they killed off Natasha in “Endgame” *sobs* Well, at least we got this long-due movie to give us some solace. Our favorite redhead is still a force to be reckoned with, and she brings along two other great female characters – Melina Vostokoff and Yelena Belova.

Bourne (Movies)
I've seen the first four with Matt Damon, but I really got interested in the series when they did "The Bourne Legacy" with Jeremy Renner. And despite it having some weaker points, I love this movie, especially since it was the first I ever saw with Oscar Isaac XD

Captain Marvel
Like with so many other comic-based characters, I barely knew anything about Ms. Danvers and her all-powerful Alter Ego until the movie. The same can be said about Brie Larson, but in the end, I fell in love with Carol, along with Maria, Monica, Nick and Phil. Yon-Rogg was interesting (and well cast with Jude Law), and I'm really curious about his whereabouts after the movie.

Star Wars: The Book Of Boba Fett
Truth be told, in his movie appearances, Boba didn't hold a great interest for me. Mostly because we barely knew anything about him. Sure, the Prequel movies and the Clone Wars series filled some spaces, but still, the man under the Mandalorian armor was mostly a mystery to me. Then the series came along, and finally, we learned a bit more about him. Plus, we got introduced to one of the best female characters in Star Wars, one Fennec Shand (who I love to pieces).

X-Men (Movieverse)
The Original Timeline movies from the late 1990s/early 2000s actually were my introduction to the Marvel side of the comic world, and recently, I finally watched all the movies that are out there, including "Dark Phoenix". I love both sides (read: the Stewart/McKellen versions as well as the McAvoy/Fassbender ones), but my #1 favorite character still is Logan/Wolverine, followed by all those listed below, along with Jean, Kitty, Bobby and Remy.

Agents Of SHIELD
This show literally took the scenic route into my favorites XD Back when it first aired, I not only didn't know any of the characters (except for Phil Coulson), it also was almost impossible to watch it here in good old Europe. I only took notice of it with its last season, and redempted myself with watching all the seasons in almost one go XD Feel free to have other characters appear as well, from both the series and the larger MCU (e.g. Clint, Tony, Steve)

Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies)
As I love to tell in these letters, this reboot didn’t really catch my attention when it first hit the cinemas. First off, I already had enough on my proverbial fandom plate, and second, only Eric Bana and Simon Pegg rang a bell in my head XD Fast forward a few years, and a local TV station airs the first movie. When the credits ran, I felt myself “educated” somehow. Why? Because I realized that I not only knew these two gentlemen, but almost everyone else on the bridge as well (except for Zachary and John). Chris Pine and Bruce Greenwood were namely known, both Anton Yelchin and Zoe Saldana had left their impressions on me with unforgettable characters (Anton in both “Without A Trace” and “Criminal Minds”, Zoe in “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “The Losers”). But the biggest “surprise” came in the person of my favorite Kiwi Karl Urban, who I knew since his days on LOTR and which caused me to say “Oh hello Eomer” in the direction of my screen XD
