Hi there, wonderful writer or artist! :)
My requests are going to be pretty general so you can be as creative as you please. I'll post a list of optional things I'd like for you to pick and choose from, and things I do NOT want. These will cover all the fandoms I chose and can apply to tricks and treats alike! Please note - the prompts given are just some optional ideas - if you come up with something else entirely that fits with my likes and avoids my Do Not Wants, then go for it! <3
Things I'd enjoy seeing in fic or art:
Romance and/or friendship (For romance I prefer slash and femslash to het, usually. But I am quite happy with gen! I do like sweet friendship stories too).
Happy or at least hopeful endings
Humor, jokes and fun - maybe pranks if my gift is a trick!
Slightly spooky, creepy Halloween themes
Cats, can be black or any other color!
Circuses and sideshows
Carnivals and thrill rides
Cute or scary clowns
Yummy things to eat
Music
Characters being awesome
Monsters, cute or scary
Hugs
Characters taking care of one another
Someone becoming an awesome supernatural being like an alien or angel (Pepper might be good for this one, or any Original characters)
Cute overload in general!!!
Things I DO NOT WANT:
Death of any of my nominated characters (but if you're assigned Vampire Chronicles it's OK to kill off minor mortal characters. If you match on any ghost characters this does not apply of course as they're already dead!)
Unhappy endings for my nominated characters
Anything too grim and lacking in hope
Non-con
Anyone who's good and sweet turning evil
Tons of gore (a good scare is fine, but nothing squicky please!)
Any harm coming to the cats mentioned in List One!!!
Graphic descriptions of child abuse and animal abuse (brief allusions to these happening in the past are OK if a story demands it)
That's about it, really. Have fun!
Fandoms and characters I've requested (listed in no particular order):
American Horror Story - Freak Show: Pepper
Rise of the Planet of the Apes Movies: Koba
Kong: Skull Island: Kong
Vampire Chronicles: Claudia
Original Work: Sentient Female Bonobo, Baby Mer-Bonobo Princess, Baby Ape, Clown Ghost, Haunted Baby Doll, Submissive Circus Strongman
Overwatch: Winston
American Horror Story - Treat prompts: 1) Pepper finds romance (f/f only please).
2) Pepper goes trick or treating with her freak show friends
Trick prompts: 1) A supernatural entity menaces the freaks, but is defeated by Pepper.
2) Pepper develops the ability to speak to the dead.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes Movies - Treat prompts: 1) I am a big Caesar/Koba shipper, but since Caesar (or any other characters besides Koba) wasn't nominated his inclusion is of course optional, but I would love something tender and perhaps romantic with these two! I’ve also come to OT3 Caesar/Koba/Cornelia too so if you’d like to portray this one, go right ahead. As long as Cornelia isn’t made submissive to the males – I like her strong and fiery!
2) Koba acts as a mentor to younger apes, perhaps teaching them hunting skills. I can see him building a close relationship with Blue Eyes in particular.
Trick Prompts: 1) Koba has flashbacks to the horrors of being experimented on at Gen-Sys, and needs comforting from the other apes.
2) Koba scares the hell out of some hapless human who thinks he is a man dressed up for Halloween as an ape. Or perhaps Koba causes some chaos back at the lab in the bad old days – bonus points if he terrorizes Jacobs!!!
Kong – Skull Island: Treat Prompts 1) Baby Kong with his parents in the early, happy days
2) Kong saves the lives of the Iwi tribespeople
3) If you're into shippy prompts for Kong, I've come to enjoy shipping him with Conrad, tbh! Go anywhere you like with this one, if you dare, as long as it's all consensual.
Trick Prompts: 1) Kong battles and defeats a skull-crawler or other monster
2) Explorers stumble upon Skull Island and Kong – and get the fright of their lives!
Vampire Chronicles - Treat Prompts: 1) A pleasant outing for Claudia - maybe with Lestat and Louis in the good old days of my favorite vampire family?
2) Claudia survives the attempt to kill her, and makes a new life. Perhaps with Madeleine, or some other vampire(s) or otherworldly beings?
Trick Prompts: 1) Claudia stalking a victim
2) Claudia befriends a mortal who does not know she is a vampire - what happens when he or she finds out?
Prompt that can work as a trick or treat: An AU where Claudia creates the "coven of children" she spoke of, and this coven becomes powerful with her as their leader. Do they defeat the adult vampires eventually? How do they come by the power that makes them the eventual top of the vampire pecking order when they are supposedly so "helpless"? What kind of vampire queen would Claudia make?
Original Work – Sentient Female Bonobo - Treat themes only please for this one. What kind of being is she? How does she use her intelligence for the benefit of her kind? Does she have magical powers? Does she have romances, with humans or other bonobos (female preferred)? What are her family relationships like? Does she come from another planet, or a future Earth? Is her culture a technologically advanced civilization, or are they a back-to-nature forest tribe?
Baby Mer-Bonobo Princess - Treat themes only please for this one. I imagine these fantastical creatures as mermaids with a twist – the upper half of their bodies like bonobo apes and the lower half the classic mermaid fish-tail. What would life be like for these beings, and I would love something focused on the queen's little daughter, the heiress to the throne, and what powers and strengths she might have as future matriarch of her people. Would these creatures have magic? What would their culture be like? Would humans have legends about them? How would the elders guide this precocious child, and would she heed their wise advice or would she be a little reckless and need a bit more adult influence and protection before she is ready for responsibility? Or would she just enjoy playing and being cute, and responsibility can wait?
Baby Ape – Treat themes only please for this one. Something sweet about a baby chimp, bonobo, gorilla, orangutan or gibbon – just being cute with family in the wild or in a sanctuary! Safe and happy and adorable, This is my cute overload character! <3
Clown Ghost: Trick themes only please for this one. Go full-on spooky! Perhaps someone stumbles across an abandoned circus, carnival or fun-fair and is scared off by the ghostly clown, or the ghost seeks revenge on an abusive former employer, perhaps one who was cruel to the carnival’s freak show performers who the clown loved dearly… Or maybe the trick/scare is unintentional, and the clown just wants to stay a performer even after death; they keep on having fun and entertaining the audiences who keep coming and enjoying the show even if they don't truly know what they're seeing! What would happen if they found out that the clown was in fact a ghost? My first preference is for the clown to be female, but I would be OK with them being a male character if that is what inspires you!
Haunted Baby Doll - This can be a trick OR a treat. I'd like the doll to be sweet-natured and looking for someone to care for her or him - maybe a lonely woman who always wanted a child but never had one? Or a childless couple? Or a lonesome child who wants a sibling or best friend? If you make this a treat, the doll could provide a source of love and comfort for the human caregiver(s) that they've never had. If you want to go spooky and make this a trick, perhaps the doll enacts some supernatural vengeance on anyone who tries to hurt their human carer(s)!
Submissive Circus Strongman - This could be a trick or treat but I think it's more of a treat (although supernatural components could be included). Explicit content is welcome for this one if you want to go there. I love the idea of consensually "bringing the giant down" - everybody believes this big muscular guy is an alpha male type who's stronger than everybody else, but he secretly longs for someone to put him in his place, using whatever means necessary. And someone discovers this secret! Who are they, and what happens? Bonus points if they're someone less physically powerful than the strongman! I tend to prefer M/m for this scenario, but would be interested in F/m if you write a very dominant woman - or even a non-human creature would be fascinating indeed, some sort of monster or alien or fantasy being, maybe?
Overwatch - Treat Prompts - 1) Something cute with Baby Winston - being clever, adorable and indulging in lots of delicious peanut butter!
2) Winston becoming a mentor to youngsters, perhaps other non-human characters
3) Any m/m ship for Winston, if you want to go there!
Trick prompts - 1) Winston fighting and defeating supernatural monsters
2) Winston develops the power to see, contact and communicate with ghosts
