Dear Creator...

...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 to me somehow, maybe we can find a way)

- No discussion of real-life politics and the awfulness therein!

- 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 to me.

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

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 ;)

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

Star Wars - All Media Types

For a very long time, I wasn't really interested in the adventures from a galaxy far, far away. Well, until January 2023, 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)

Characters/Pairings
- Poe Dameron & Ben Solo & Jacen Syndulla
- Poe Dameron & Jacen Syndulla

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 2023, and what can I say? I fell in love with many characters, especially the space princess rebel named Leia Organa.

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 said with the Sequels, 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 Anakin around, as well as almost everyone else on the good side (yes, including Jar Jar XD), but keep Palpatine to a minimum, please.

Characters/Pairings

Star Wars Sequel Trilogy

Out of the three movie trilogies of the Skywalker Saga, this is the one I'm feeling most "at home". Can't really explain why, but despite all the bad calls from the public, I love these three movies. Would some things be better if done differently? Sure, but that's something that they have in common with a large quantity of movies. Out of all the characters, I love Poe the most, with pretty much everyone on the good side following behind XD And despite him trying his worst, Armitage is somehow growing on me XD

Characters/Pairings
- Solo: Armitage Hux

Marvel Cinematic Universe

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.

Characters/Pairings
- Clint Barton & Natasha Romanov
- James "Bucky" Barnes & Natasha Romanoff
- James "Bucky" Barnes & Peter Parker
- James "Bucky" Barnes & Sam Wilson
- James "Bucky" Barnes & Shuri

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 I love almost everyone on the team side (including Grant, but only in the Season 1 setting XD)Feel free to have other characters appear as well, from both the series and the larger MCU (e.g. Clint, Tony, Steve)

Hawkeye (TV)

Ever since I first saw "The Avengers", Clint Barton is one of my absolute favorite MCU characters. Most of this is due to Jeremy Renner playing him, but some credit has to be given to the character himself as well. I even started to read the comics thanks to him, and up to this day, the Fraction verse is one of my most favorite comics. So when a show incorporating certain things from this verse into the MCU was announced, I was thrilled. But then the showrunners not only gave us the most perfect Kate Bishop, they also brought one of my favorite characters from "Black Widow" into the mix with Yelena Belova. Feel free to include Lucky and the Barton kids in your work, but leave out the entire Tracksuit Mafia storyline, as well as Eleanor Bishop and Wilson Fisk.

Star Trek: Voyager

The most recent addition to my favorite series list XD While I'm an "old" trekkie, I was mostly based in the TNG universe and only added the Alternate Origins Series (aka the Reboot movies) to my circles. Until now, when I finally started to watch Voyager. I pretty much like everyone in the crew, but can live without any of the Kazon ;)

The Witcher (TV)

Along with "Voyager" one of the more recent additions to my ever-growing favorite shows list XD Started to watch it since I was curious if Henry Cavill do better than in the DCEU (he has his moments there, but overall, he's not my favorite Superman) - and he did. Love his portrayal of Geralt, along with Ciri, Jaskier and, most of the time, Yennefer. Can do without Vilgefortz or Stregobor in a leading role, but mentioning them/have them in the background is okay.

Star Trek: Alternate Original Series

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
