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 fandoms, characters and pairings 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.


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
- spooky horror, creepy atmosphere
- creepy cuteness or uncanny valley
- 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 4 Smut letter here: https://schlitzie-ramone.dreamwidth.org/8980.html

My hard DO NOT WANTS are:

- noncon
- 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
- complete and utter darkfic - I do love spooky horror, 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
- character bashing

Now, on to requests and prompts! <3

( Requests and Prompts )

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
