Dear Trick or Treat Author,
Thank you for writing for me! I like a lot of genres, tropes, and kinks, so I'm pretty flexible. All optional details are very optional. Also, I like both happy/fluffy fic and some pretty dark stuff, so feel free to go in whichever direction you want. I don't mind unhappy endings. I have some favorite ships, which I've included, but I also enjoy gen and friendship fic just as much. As for content and things like narrative structure/POV, unless I've listed it in my DNWs, you can assume I'm okay with it (this includes things like character death, infidelity, unhappy endings, etc).
Also, I'm happy to receive both fic and art. I don't know if I'm very good at giving art-specific prompts, but I've tried to list some likes that could be interpreted in a visual medium.
General DNWs: Animal abuse/death--particularly involving pets (things like non-graphic references to farming or hunting are generally fine), readerfic, dental trauma.
Fandom-specific DNW exceptions: I'd prefer no non-powered AUs for X-Men Alternate Timeline Movies fandom. Also, I didn't list animal abuse/death as a DNW for Annihilation or Alien because I feel like animal-based horror is a big aspect of Annihilation and that there's some potential for that in Alien, and I'm okay with it.
General likes:- Friendship fic
- Character studies and backstory
- Smut
- For porn, things I like include like anal sex/play, spanking, D/s and power play, slavefic, A/B/O, BDSM AUs, dub-con/non-con, humiliation, and watersports. I like both consensual and non-con/dub-con interpretations. Also, I'm cool with a lot of kinks written in a way that's not explicitly sexual, like spanking as non-sexualized punishment or A/B/O worldbuilding. I'm also happy with vanilla smut, though!
- Darkfic/art
- Humor and cracky premises
- Loyalty kink (one character is very loyal toward and cares for another. Recognition of that from the other character can be nice but isn't essential)
- Pining (mutual or non-mutual)
- Enemies becoming friends/lovers and maybe not completely trusting each other or completely moving past their prior conflicts
- Bonding and unexpected friendships
- Ghosts and ghost stories
- I love Halloween, so if you want to do something Halloween-themed, I'm definitely game!
- I also like all sorts of narrative structures and POVs--epistolary fiction, second person, you name it.
Some specific likes for tricks:- Body horror
- Tentacle monsters
- Gaslighting/manipulation
- Mind control
- Frightening visions/hallucinations/apparitions (take of this what you will--could be ghosts, hallucinations, telepathy, etc.)
- Characters not trusting their own perceptions/questioning reality
- Hauntings/ghosts
- Stockholm syndrome/lima syndrome
- Imprisonment
