Hello, dear writer or artist (I love both forms of fanwork equally)! Thank you for being willing to create for me. The prompts below are suggestions that I hope might inspire your creativity but feel free to adapt or change things and add other elements as well if the story or art seems to require it. As long as you stay away from my hard DNWs and include some of what I do like (though of course you don’t need to include absolutely everything), you’re golden! Though some prompts may seem longer than others, I love these ideas all just as much as each other and would be equally delighted to receive any one of them as my gift.
As far as writing tenses and POVs and art styles go, I am sure to love anything you come up with. I don't have any DNWs regarding tenses, POV or types of artwork - my only DNWs are those listed below under hard DNWs.
For writers in this particular exchange: Although I am asking for a focus on the impregnation - if your creative process leads you towards the pregnancy and birth as well, please feel free to include those!
Things I DO like in a story or artwork:
- fluff
- romance
- the deepening of emotional ties between characters
- friendship becoming love
- overcoming and healing from trauma with the help of a loved one (or loved ones or friends or just kind souls)
- hurt/comfort
- angsty scenarios that wind up with a happy or hopeful ending
- strengthening of comradeship bonds and characters being willing to go the extra mile to help someone they care about
- fun and humor
- someone stumbling on an unlikely but completely right for the situation solution when disaster looks likely to be looming
- found families and/or kidfic
- smut (for some of my smutty likes, see my Smut Swap letter here: https://schlitzie-ramone.dreamwidth.org/6093.html)
- if a baby is born in a story, I prefer baby girls as the birth of sons usually already gets a lot of fanfare in canon!
My hard DO NOT WANTS are:
- noncon (though I love the "no no yes" trope if you match on any of the WWE ships)
- main character death or death of one or both halves of the main pairing
- unhappy endings and complete and pure angst with no hope in sight
- homophobia
- female characters being submissive to males
- darkfic (a good scare is fine for spooky stories, and some dark imagery is great if you match on The Fiend pairings for WWE, but no gore or deathfic please)
- graphic depictions of child or animal abuse (although allusions to those happening in the past are OK if the story requires it)
- unrequested ships being the focus of the fanwork
- animal characters being changed into humans
- miscarriage, abortion, infanticide or any harm coming to the baby/babies
- character bashing
Now, on to the fandoms and requests!
Request 1)
Fandom: Rise of the Planet of the Apes Movies
Pairing(s): Caesar impregnates Koba
Freeforms:
• Scientific Experiments Cause Biological Changes
• Pregnant Sex
• Protectiveness
• character provides comfort to pregnant partner
• Helping and caring for pregnant partner
Prompt Ideas: I've seen the idea around before of Koba's time being experimented on as a lab ape giving him the ability to get pregnant before, and I love it! Would Caesar and Koba start out with a moment of lust and feelings growing later, or would Koba already be Caesar's second mate after Cornelia (as ape king, Caesar would likely be entitled to more than one mate)? Would the pregnancy be a surprise, or would it be something they plan when Koba discovers he can go into heat like a female? Would Koba be angry and cranky about pregnancy at first or would he be happy and excited to have another ape of his own blood? How would Caesar and the other apes be impacted by what happens to Koba?
I'd be happy if Cornelia could be in the story or artwork too if you want to include her. I think Koba could benefit a lot from her support as well as Caesar's, especially if she has already given birth to Blue Eyes. She could give the expectant Koba a lot of help and good advice!
Request 2)
Fandom: Kong: Skull Island (2017)
Pairing(s):
• James Conrad impregnates Kong
• Kong impregnates James Conrad
Freeforms:
• Environmental Changes Causes Biological Changes
• Pregnancy-Causing Substances
• Pregnant with Multiples
• Protectiveness
• interspecies pregnancy
Prompt Ideas: I'd be equally happy with either version of this! How on earth did impregnation happen here in the first place? And Skull Island is a very strange environment indeed, so what bizarre changes could it wreak on a male giant ape and/or a human male? How does the love relationship develop between Kong and Conrad, and how do emotions play a part in this (very likely unexpected) pregnancy? I very much like the idea of how protective they'd get, both of each other and of the child(ren) to be. And with Kong as a king/godlike figure on the island, the impending birth of an heir or heirs would be a big deal for the whole island, especially the Iwi!
Request 3)
Fandom: Rampage (2018)
Pairing(s):
• Davis Okoye impregnates George
• George impregnates Davis Okoye
Freeforms:
•Environmental Changes Causes Biological Changes
•Pregnancy-Causing Substances
•Pregnant with Multiples
•Protectiveness
•Scientific Experiments Cause Biological Changes
•Unusual/multiple sex organs
•interspecies pregnancy
Prompt Ideas: Again, how could pregnancy occur between a human man and a male giant ape? The relationship between Davis and George is similar in some ways to that between Conrad and Kong, but also very different. Kong is godlike, a king, whereas Davis and George are friends who've come to depend on each other, and been thrust into an "us against the world" situation. How have the changes George has gone through due to his mutation caused the pregnancy? How would both of them react? I very much love the idea of these two becoming mutually protective of each other, especially if bad guys are after them and find out what has happened and are trying to capture them and the unborn baby/babies!
Request 4)
Fandom: World Wrestling Entertainment
Pairing(s):
• The Fiend Bray Wyatt impregnates Seth Rollins
• The Fiend Bray Wyatt impregnates Daniel Bryan
• Charlotte Flair impregnates Becky Lynch
• Becky Lynch impregnates Charlotte Flair
• Asuka impregnates Becky Lynch
Freeforms:
•Environmental Changes Causes Biological Changes
•Magical Pregnancy
•Exposure to magical force results in unexpected pregnancy
•Rival/Enemy learns about their nemesis' pregnancy and becomes protective (feelings realization)
•Protectiveness
•Marrying the pregnant character(s) to save them from a bad consequences leads to mutual feelings
•Grumpy character is even grumpier during pregnancy
Prompt Ideas: For the WWE pairings, I am quite fond of the "rivals to reluctant allies to lovers" tropes, and the "no no OH HELL YES" variety of dubcon. And for loving feelings to strangely arise between unlikely pairs.
For the Fiend paired with Seth Rollins or Daniel Bryan, how did the strange pregnancy come to be? Is there a feeling of "I don't want this" changing to "I want this" on the part of the pregnant partner? Is the child-to-be a baby Fiend? Does the sinister Fiend change somehow from evil demon to protective, possessive and strangely loving?
For Charlotte and Becky, I imagine hate becoming love and a lot of snarkiness and bickering, but growing feelings of love throughout it all, for each other and the child-to-be. How did the impregnation happen in the first place? And what's the fallout in the WWE all around when this odd state of affairs comes to light?
For Asuka and Becky, again, how does the impregnation happen? Is that green mist somehow to blame - and if so, what's in it? Is Asuka aware of its properties? How do the feelings of Asuka and Becky change when they realize what's going on? How does their enmity become love, and do they bond together against any possible threat to them and their child?

Fandom: Original Work
Pairing(s):
• Alien Ape-Woman impregnates Female Human World Leader

• Environmental Changes Causes Biological Changes
• Female Alpha
• Helping and caring for pregnant partner
• Magical Pregnancy
• Pregnancy-Causing Substances
• Protectiveness
• Scientific Experiments Cause Biological Changes
• interspecies pregnancy

Prompt Ideas: I'm perfectly happy for the pairings and freeforms to be the prompts here! There is so much scope for worldbuilding and for romance, be it about the characters getting together (especially if there is a cultural difference) or the building up of bonds in an established relationships. How does impregnation happen, and how does the couple deal with it? I love the idea of bonding together over expecting a child, and strong love growing despite the possible surprise of an unexpected pregnancy. Or perhaps the pregnancy is a planned one and everyone's delighted at the prosepect of a new arrival! Feel free to let your imagination go wild here, as long as DNWs are avoided, I'm sure you'll have plenty of scope to create!
