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: http://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
1) Rise of the Planet of the Apes Movies
Relationships: Caesar/Koba, Caesar/Cornelia/Koba
This fandom and characters have recently become a near-obsession! I am particularly drawn to the character of Koba and all that he has endured – he is a complex character with both horrific flaws and many redeeming features. He turned from an innocent victim into a villain due to his hatred for humans and all the terrible wrongs they had done him, but I believe there was a time when he was happy, especially those 10 years between Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. He was devoted to his leader Caesar then and wanted to please him, before the canon of “Dawn” when he turned against Caesar and everything went to hell.
Some ideas: Perhaps the story could be something set in that period between the two films, the happy times when Koba trusted Caesar and wanted to make him proud. It could be something to do with a brotherly-type love that deepens – the scarred Koba would likely associate touch with pain due to his sufferings at the hands of humans, but Caesar could persuade him to accept physical affection again (which does not have to include sex, but I will not object if it does, and Caesar re-awakens Koba’s bonobo passions). Or they could go on a hunting trip where the two get separated from the main group and have to huddle for warmth somewhere and rely on each other’s strength; it would be particularly interesting if the roles were reversed and Caesar (wounded perhaps) had to rely on Koba for a change…
Or perhaps a three-way love could develop between Caesar/Cornelia/Koba? I would like the same time period mentioned above or a scenario where the events of “Dawn” never happened, and to see the characters all involved equally with each other… m/m as well as f/m, and a specific DNW is a submissive Cornelia – I like her strong and fiery! I would be happy with an established relationship angle, with the three characters going about their daily lives and being supportive of one another in their various tasks within the colony, or taking on some task or challenge together, or a getting together scenario where all three are feeling attracted to each other and work out a happy solution to their situation. Koba with his hunting skill and wisdom could be seen as somewhat of a mentor to younger apes, so his help would be invaluable in raising the young Blue Eyes. I do like kidfic so would be quite happy with this sort of a plot where Caesar, Cornelia, Koba and baby Blue Eyes become a family! :D
One note with this fandom – please NO AUs where the characters are human, I want them to stay apes!!!
2) Kong: Skull Island
Relationship: James Conrad/Kong
When I first saw the movie, I was intrigued by how Kong not only began to trust and show affection to Mason Weaver, but extended that trust to James Conrad too. What if the relationship between Conrad and Kong deepened, and they developed an understanding based on love as well as trust? It could include adventures and plot, or simply a tender exploration of feelings.
Some possible ideas/prompts:
I particularly love the sheer size difference between the two and how their love and desire might overcome what initially seem physically impossible.
Of course, there would be a fascination on both sides with the size differences, and Kong might be curious enough to attempt some delicate grooming behaviour with this tiny human he’s come to love.
The Iwi seem to regard Kong as a god, so perhaps Conrad too would develop a worshipful attitude to this guardian of Skull Island, and Kong would become a gentle, benevolent god who could perhaps heal some of the pain Conrad carries with him due to his turbulent past.
And what if Conrad, who may never have made sufficient affectionate ties back in the human world, or may have made them and lost them due to one circumstance or another, finds in Kong the all-encompassing, unconditional love he’s always longed for?
3) Rampage (2018)
Relationship: Davis Okoye/George
Yes, another giant ape/human pairing that I love! But the dynamic between George and Davis is very different than the one between Kong and Conrad. Theirs is an “us against the world” sort of friendship which began with Davis saving George and then with George saving Davis, and they have so many humorous interactions which I love to bits! <3
Some possible ideas/prompts:
After the Chicago incident, George had his “chill pill” and is now calmed down and his normal sweet self, personality-wise, but the fact remains that he is still a gigantic, super-powerful enhanced ape. And I imagine he wouldn’t be allowed back with the normal sized gorillas for obvious reasons. As gorillas are social animals, that would leave George lonely, stressed and emotionally dependent on Davis for company and affection.
How would their relationship change and develop after the shocking events both of them have been through?
Would Davis and George perhaps have to go on the run from the government or other forces that want to capture or destroy George? And perhaps they might discover other monstrous creatures that George may have to battle to protect Davis?
4) World Wrestling Entertainment
Relationships:
Bray Wyatt/Seth Rollins
What draws me to this pairing is the way Seth cowered in fear of the Fiend who was attacking Braun Strowman, in the whole lead-up to the challenge for the Universal Championship in 2019... what I love about Bray is his dual nature, the sweet but sinister host of the Firefly Funhouse and the terrifying Fiend. I'd like something about mind games, dubious consent, coming to love Bray but lusting after the Fiend, and the whole way the Fiend "changes" people. In canon, we've seen a darker Seth emerge, a cult leader in his own right - how would a darker Seth be as a partner for Bray/The Fiend? Would Funhouse!Bray become the "light" to Seth's "darkness" then?
Bray Wyatt/Daniel Bryan
It was that Strap Match at the Royal Rumble that sold me on these two! The sheer violence and emotional intensity and the fact that Daniel almost triumphed over the Fiend, but in the end could not. I'd love something focusing on that passion and all that emotion and possibly some rough sex... with either man as the top, even! (I'm remembering the strap match and images of the kneeling Fiend actually begging for more pain and therefore showing how much stronger he is... mmm!) Daniel seemed to turn back to the light after his confrontation with the Fiend... how would a relationship between him and Bray look like after this development?
Bray Wyatt/Roman Reigns
Someday, somehow, this is going to happen! The Fiend vs Roman Reigns, one on one... although, of course, Roman has, in the past, faced off against the cult leader incarnation of Bray Wyatt. How would Roman stand up against the Fiend and the new, Firefly Funhouse Bray? What sort of mind games would Bray/The Fiend deploy, and would Roman be able to resist? What mental and physical struggles might result, and would Roman succumb to the strange new desires that might be aroused? Now that we're seeing a darker Roman, would Roman have some mind games and physical torments in mind for Bray, that both men would end up enjoying? How would the Fiend or Funhouse Bray deal with the pesky nuisance that Paul Heyman would undoubtedly become, and how would Bray get him out of the way to get to Roman? Would Bray bring back the swamp-cult leader persona as he did for Braun Strowman, in order to mess with Roman's mind, and tempt him into something terrifying yet exquisitely pleasurable?
Bray Wyatt/Luke Harper
This is a pairing I'm really nostalgic for, as although I love Funhouse!Bray and the Fiend, I have always adored Bray's swamp-cult leader persona and think that the Wyatt family compound would be an awesome setting for a spooky Halloween love and/or sex story or artwork. Something about the supernatural goings-on in the cult, the bonding between Wyatt Family members and the guiding influence of the spirit of Sister Abigail... perhaps she'd bless the union of Bray and Luke? Would these two have some kind of ritual sex, rites of pain and pleasure either in the compound or out in the woods? And how would Bray and Luke bond together around getting rid of threatening outsiders, who may try to disrupt the cult and the way of life Abigail set up?
And what other creatures and beings are out in the swamp and forest where the Wyatt Family dwells? I particularly like the idea of maybe there's one or more swamp apes (Bigfoot) in the area, and that the Wyatt Family's bonded with them, too. Maybe a female and her young who they befriend, or a big male who might become included in the erotic rites between Bray and Luke?
Bray Wyatt/Xavier Woods
I've always LOVED the dynamic between these two, back in Bray's cult leader days when he was acting all creepy around Xavier and seemingly trying to brainwash him and try to recruit him into the Wyatt family... what if Xavier had been seduced down that dark path? What might have happened, and how might things have changed for the both of them if Xavier had fallen for Bray? And more recently, Xavier did make comparisons about what's happened to Alexa Bliss and what happened to him in the past. What if Bray - either as Funhouse!Bray or as the Fiend, decides he wants to have another go at recruiting Xavier? And what would happen to everyone concerned if Bray succeeded this time?
Charlotte Flair/Becky Lynch
I LOVE these two tough ladies! Brawling badasses, always giving each other as good as they get. I really adore their friends to rivals to lovers dynamic. Perhaps they get thrown together or ordered to be somewhere together by the powers to be when they're not getting along, and then rekindle their friendship which strengthens and becomes love? Perhaps they're having a bit of a strain on their relationship and then have to put aside their differences when something from outside threatens them both, and they join forces to overcome it? Or perhaps they are just having some post-match fun in a hotel room... that can be cute, fluffy and fun or very sexy... leading to rough sex, even - I think they'd be into that! <3
WWE Fandom Specific Note: If you choose to create something for any of the Bray Wyatt pairings, I definitely don't expect fluff (unless you want to write Funhouse!Bray creepy fluff, which is always enjoyable!) As long as there isn't rape, gore, maiming or character death, or completely unhappy bleak endings, I am up for all kinds of mind games, seductive dubcon, the "no no yes" trope, rough sex shenanigans and spooky horror... and perhaps with the other guy actually thinking he's happier now with Bray in these weird circumstances and that he's actually got what he wanted (even if he didn't want it in the first place!)
WWE FANDOM SPECIFIC DNW: I do not want Alexa Bliss acting in a submissive or subservient manner towards Bray Wyatt/the Fiend or being paired with him romantically and/or sexually. I do like her and am happy to have her play a part in the story/art if you want to write/draw her, but I would prefer not to have m/f content in this fandom for this exchange.
5) Original Work (Original F/F and Original M/M)
Relationships: Female Backwoods Cult Leader/Her Female Bigfoot Lover
OR
Male Backwoods Cult Leader/His Male Bigfoot Lover
I'm equally enthusiastic about a f/f or m/m take on this pairing! Shenanigans in the backwoods, spooky folk horror and paranormal romance… oh, I am so there for that in either a F/F or M/M configuration! How does the cult leader meet the Bigfoot, or have the cultists always known that there are Sasquatches in the wood, perhaps a whole clan of them? Perhaps the cult have built up a relationship with the Bigfoot creatures, and maybe the Sasquatches keep outsider humans away from the cult, or vice versa? How did the human cult leader become lovers with a Bigfoot, and is there some sort of ritual sex they have as part of their bonding that increases the cult leader’s power? Does the power of the cult derive from the Bigfoot creatures, from the forest itself and from all things natural? Do outsiders try to interfere with the cult or the Sasquatches, and is there some sort of teaming up to drive them away or destroy them if they have tried to do the cult or the Bigfeet harm) between hairy folk and cultist humans? As far as the romance aspect goes, I love the size difference angle, hairy vs. relatively hairless, and the different types of powers the cult leader and the Bigfoot may possess – physical strength on the Bigfoot’s part, arcane woodland rites and magic on the cult leader’s!
Relationship: Sapient Bonobo Matriarch/Her Human Princess Bride
This is another relationship with great scope for world-building, if you’re into that, and can be gently romantic or very smutty indeed, I’d be happy with either. Bonobos are a species of great apes, renowned for their peaceful nature and pansexuality.
How did the relationship come to be? Is it an arranged marriage in which the brides eventually catch feelings for each other (to seal a peace treaty between their two nations, perhaps) or did they meet in another way and fall in love despite their differences?
What are the human and bonobo cultures like? Are the bonobos simple forest-dwellers or have they developed a sumptuous civilization that puts the human world to shame? What cultural adjustments would the pair have to make?
When the human princess moves to the bonobo queen’s land, how would she relate to her new wife, a peaceful and loving matriarch? If her own culture was patriarchal and warlike, how would she make the adjustment? Would she passionately embrace her new life from the get-go or be a bit resistant at first?
Would the physical differences between human and bonobo be an instant point of attraction, or would this take some time to get used to?
For references, here's an article about bonobos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonobo
And a photo of a very beautiful female bonobo: https://www.allposters.com/-sp/A-Female-Bonobo-or-Pygmy-Chimpanzee-Pan-Paniscus-Congo-Africa-Posters_i6011147_.htm
Relationship: Bigfoot-Type Ape-Woman/Female Cryptozoologist
A cryptozoologist has long believed that the forest houses Bigfoot-type ape people, and at long last she finds them and gets more than she bargained for in the form of an ape-woman who falls in love with her! This can be gently romantic and cuddly or full-on erotic, depending on what you’d like to write as long as everything’s consensual. How does this ape-woman express her love – perhaps her kind are more like bonobos than the gorilla-like creatures they’re often portrayed as? How does she communicate with the object of her affections? Does the human feel any conflict about the attraction she’s suddenly feeling (given that this other woman isn’t human and most people don’t believe her kind exist anyway)? How do they establish a loving relationship anyway in the face of such incredible odds?
Relationship: Sapient Male Gorilla/Male Human Scientist
- I’m into any sort of romantic or erotic relationship here – either gentle with lots of big hugs, or full-on smut and even a bit of consensual rough sex and D/s with an alpha male silverback gorilla!
- First of all, I’m interested as to how the relationship may have come about. How did the gorilla become sentient – is he an alien being from another planet or alternate universe, or is he genetically enhanced in some way, or some form of magical creature if the world you envision him in has magic in it?
- The human may be the scientist, but who is really studying who? And what does this sentient gorilla think of humanity as a whole? Does he speak, use sign language or some other form of communication like telepathy?
- Do other humans know about this relationship, and what do they think of it if they do?
Relationship: King of a Sapient Chimpanzee Tribe/Male Human Lost in the Forest
- This is another concept that fascinates me… what sort of world do these intelligent chimps live in, and what sort of civilization have they made? How does the human come to be lost, and how does he cope with a tribe of apes who are equally as smart as he is? Either just a gentle romance or full-on erotic passion is fine! :D
- How does the human deal with his attraction to the king, and the king with his attraction to the human?
- Does the human become a guest living peacefully with the tribe, or was he captured initially, or was he rescued and had to be nursed back to health?
- Is the king widowed, perhaps, and seeking a replacement mate – and somehow finds this man to be the most suitable candidate?
Relationship: Male Long-Haul Trucker/Male Bigfoot
As with my other interspecies pairings, I'm interested in how the relationship develops, how they learn to communicate and how do such radically different beings become attracted to each other and fall in love? Does the trucker have a thing for big, hairy guys, and does the Bigfoot maybe have a curiosity about, and a burgeoning passion for, humans? How do they communicate and form a connection - is there something they bond over or have in common, or are they just carried away by lust that turns into something more? Does one decide to become part of the other's world, and how do the cultural differences between them play out and get adapted to? Does the trucker know there’s a Bigfoot in the area and seek him out, or is their meeting a complete surprise?

This is another relationship with great scope for world-building, if you’re into that, and can be gently romantic or very smutty indeed, I’d be happy with either. Bonobos are a species of great apes, renowned for their peaceful nature and pansexuality.
How did the relationship come to be? Is it an arranged marriage in which the brides eventually catch feelings for each other (to seal a peace treaty between their two nations, perhaps) or did they meet in another way and fall in love despite their differences?
What are the human and bonobo cultures like? Are the bonobos simple forest-dwellers or have they developed a sumptuous civilization that puts the human world to shame? What cultural adjustments would the pair have to make?
When the human princess moves to the bonobo queen’s land, how would she relate to her new wife, a peaceful and loving matriarch? If her own culture was patriarchal and warlike, how would she make the adjustment? Would she passionately embrace her new life from the get-go or be a bit resistant at first?
Would the physical differences between human and bonobo be an instant point of attraction, or would this take some time to get used to?

Relationship: Bigfoot-Type Ape-Woman/Female Cryptozoologist
A cryptozoologist has long believed that the forest houses Bigfoot-type ape people, and at long last she finds them and gets more than she bargained for in the form of an ape-woman who falls in love with her! This can be gently romantic and cuddly or full-on erotic, depending on what you’d like to write as long as everything’s consensual. How does this ape-woman express her love – perhaps her kind are more like bonobos than the gorilla-like creatures they’re often portrayed as? How does she communicate with the object of her affections? Does the human feel any conflict about the attraction she’s suddenly feeling (given that this other woman isn’t human and most people don’t believe her kind exist anyway)? How do they establish a loving relationship anyway in the face of such incredible odds?
Relationship: Sapient Male Gorilla/Male Human Scientist
- I’m into any sort of romantic or erotic relationship here – either gentle with lots of big hugs, or full-on smut and even a bit of consensual rough sex and D/s with an alpha male silverback gorilla!
- First of all, I’m interested as to how the relationship may have come about. How did the gorilla become sentient – is he an alien being from another planet or alternate universe, or is he genetically enhanced in some way, or some form of magical creature if the world you envision him in has magic in it?
- The human may be the scientist, but who is really studying who? And what does this sentient gorilla think of humanity as a whole? Does he speak, use sign language or some other form of communication like telepathy?
- Do other humans know about this relationship, and what do they think of it if they do?
Relationship: King of a Sapient Chimpanzee Tribe/Male Human Lost in the Forest
- This is another concept that fascinates me… what sort of world do these intelligent chimps live in, and what sort of civilization have they made? How does the human come to be lost, and how does he cope with a tribe of apes who are equally as smart as he is? Either just a gentle romance or full-on erotic passion is fine! :D
- How does the human deal with his attraction to the king, and the king with his attraction to the human?
- Does the human become a guest living peacefully with the tribe, or was he captured initially, or was he rescued and had to be nursed back to health?
- Is the king widowed, perhaps, and seeking a replacement mate – and somehow finds this man to be the most suitable candidate?
Relationship: Male Long-Haul Trucker/Male Bigfoot
As with my other interspecies pairings, I'm interested in how the relationship develops, how they learn to communicate and how do such radically different beings become attracted to each other and fall in love? Does the trucker have a thing for big, hairy guys, and does the Bigfoot maybe have a curiosity about, and a burgeoning passion for, humans? How do they communicate and form a connection - is there something they bond over or have in common, or are they just carried away by lust that turns into something more? Does one decide to become part of the other's world, and how do the cultural differences between them play out and get adapted to? Does the trucker know there’s a Bigfoot in the area and seek him out, or is their meeting a complete surprise?
