amazing_e_koOk let's do this for real!
To whoever is reading this:
Hello! If you are my gifter, I say thank you in advance, and I'm sure whatever you create will be amazing. I already know that I'll love it.
But that is not why you are here. You are here to read more about my likes and dislikes, and I am here to help.
Likes:
-Stories about women
-Femmeslash
-Fluff is good, but I like it to have a tang of effort. On the other hand, if you write dark-fic I like it to have a tang of hope
-I love fic that expands on character back-story, or gives you unexpected moments of canon in between all the drama
-If there is a subtextual relationship (Like Sachiko/Yumi) then I always want future-fic. I crave resolution for my unresolved ships.
-I always enjoy a good chunk of prose, so if you want to experiment with your writing style or do something a bit weird and different, consider this carte blance.
-On the other hand if you're more comfortable sticking to what you know, do that instead. No pressure.
-I always like characters with internal conflict, characters who are challenged by what they want and have to confront the difficulties inside them. That's probably what draws me to Mikasa/Sasha and Tsukimi/Kuranosuke. How does Mikasa deal with wanting anything other than Eren? How do Kuranosuke and Tsukimi accept their feelings for each other?
-If you want to write a crossover for Utena, then by all means do. I always like crossovers in that fandom, and I don't need to know the other characters, so as long as the focus of the fic is on the Utena character, it's all good. That said, no crossovers for my other fandoms please!
Squicks
-I don't read explicit slash. Sorry, dude-porn just does not turn me on. If you really only write dudes and you want to write fluff, that's ok (there are m/m ships I really like fluff for), but yeah, keep it pg-13.
-I don't think I would want super-fetishy stuff for any of the characters/ships I requested. Not that I don't enjoy that stuff, it just doesn't really mesh with what I want from this exchange. So let's say no 24/7 BDSM, no sex that involves violence or pain.
-Non-canon death is a pretty big no, though I think I would make an exception for Shingeki no Kyojin, based on the kind of series it is.
-Please do not put Korosensei in a relationship with any of the students. I would feel weird about that.
-I think that covers all the relevant squicks for this exchange, at least in terms of characters and plots.
-I don't have any big writing squicks - first person, third person, present tense, past tense, it's all good. I like second person in Homestuck fanfic but tend to be wary of it elsewhere - that said, your story comes first, and if it will only work in second person, then second person it should be.
Prompts
These are in addition to the ones on the sign up page, and are totally, totally optional. They are just here to give you ideas if you get stuck.
Shingeki no Kyojin
Ymir has an unexpected fear (maybe one that plays into her backstory. She could be uncomfortable with very small spaces, for example. Or maybe she doesn't like total silence. Or anything else). Christa has to comfort her and calm her down.
There is a battle, and Sasha is presumed dead for a period of time. Mikasa is unexpectedly and worryingly upset.
Annie on her journey to the wall for the first time. How did she feel seeing it?
Zoe sees an abnormal type titan, and it sparks an idea. (By the way, I read Zoe as a woman myself, and use she/her pronouns. If you would prefer to write Zoe as genderless or genderqueer, that's ok though!)
Revolutionary Girl Utena
Utena and Anthy through four years of university. One thing about Utena is that Ohtori is the place where no one grows up, whereas you tend to do a lot of growing up in college. So Utena goes through lots of different phases, and maybe Anthy does too, in a much subtler way. Because this is the first time for both of them to experience turning into adults, for very different reasons. (This prompt would lend itself more to a light/humorous fic, I think.)
Wakaba and Saionji meet again, ten or twelve years after finishing school. How does she feel about him now? And how does he feel about her?
Jellyfish Princess
Kuranosuke is going to meet his mother for the first time since she left. Tsukimi makes him a dress for the occasion.
Tsukimi gets sick from working too hard, Kuranosuke takes care of her.
Kuranosuke is looking through Tsukimi's catalogue (in the future?) and realises that there's another theme to her dresses besides Jellyfish. (It's him.)
Right now I can't think of any extras for Assassination Classroom and Maria-sama, but I will come back and edit if I do!
