Hi, dear writer or artist! Thank you for being willing to create for me.
Here are some ideas that I hope will inspire you - of course, you don't have to include everything. As long as you stay away from my hard Do Not Wants, you're fine. I’ve included a mixture of shippy and gen prompts. Some of these requests I’ve received in exchanges before and love so much I want more of them, and others are new to me, but I’ll be thrilled to receive any of them as a gift!
I'm fond of both fic and art, so will be equally excited to receive either (or both, if your style is a comic format!). Stories or art do not have to have erotic content, but for romantic scenarios it’s very welcome if you want to include it (unless I’ve specified otherwise)!
Things I like in a story or artwork: fluff, cuteness, romance, friendship, found families, female characters as leaders, overcoming adversity through co-operation, fun, adventure, acceptance of diversity, characters being both strong and vulnerable at once, curiosity and exploration.
My hard Do Not Wants: outright non-con, abusive romantic relationships, graphic descriptions of child and animal abuse (though if necessary it’s OK to allude to such things happening in the past), major character death (unless one character is a ghost and it’s already happened), too much angst, unhappy endings. female characters being submissive to males, setting changes such as coffee-shop or high-school type AUs (canon divergence within the original setting is fine though, and even encouraged!).
On to the prompts/suggestions (in no particular order!)!
American Horror Story: Freak Show
1) Pepper/Elsa Mars - Pepper was the first performer Elsa recruited for her freak show, and Elsa and Pepper are shown in canon to have grown to think of each other as family, but what if the relationship deepened? What if Pepper developed desires and needs that her “spiritual husband” Salty could not fulfil and Elsa felt it was her responsibility to take care of Pepper in that regard? How would their love blossom and grow? Would Elsa have doubts and misgivings about what she is doing, or simply enjoy a change in her relationship with Pepper? And what might Pepper’s reactions and emotional state be?
2) Pepper.Salty – Although I mostly ship m/m and f/f I do love this canon het pairing, but I’m not really into explicit sex for it, more a gentle romantic sort of relationship. Something where the love develops tenderly between the characters, lots of kisses and holding hands and playful antics, enjoying their sideshow performances together and snuggling warm in bed at night! And of course, being the darlings of their sideshow family! <3
Rise of the Planet of the Apes Movies (2011, 2014)
1) Caesar/Koba - Maybe 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, perhaps…
2) 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! :D
Vampire Chronicles (Anne Rice)
1) Lestat/Louis & Claudia - Claudia is my favorite character and the time that she spent with Louis and Lestat when they were all one big happy family, the two vampire fathers with their daughter, is my favorite part of their story and is sadly too short in canon. What I want for this fandom is more of those happy times, Louis and Lestat as the couple and Claudia as their beloved pampered child, perhaps from Claudia's viewpoint as I want Claudia to be the main character, although the shippy stuff is between the two male characters. I would love to see more of Claudia's happiness, her beautiful clothes and toys and outings with her fathers. A mixture of happy family gen and a m/m pairing relationship, if you will.
Original Work
1) Female Circus Clown/Female Audience Member: I’m a big fan of funny and cute romantic scenarios and this one definitely fits that description! I adore the circus and the clowns have always been my favorite part. So an audience member falling for a sexy clown – and having her feelings reciprocated, perhaps in a very unexpected manner, is an enticing prospect indeed! All sorts of flirting and fun could ensue – cute and funny banter, amusing performances, perhaps even the clown pulling the audience member into the ring for some audience participation fun! :D
2) Mer-Bonobo Queen/Her Female Second-In-Command: The concept is a Mer-Bonobo Queen (a mermaid whose upper half is that of a lovely bonobo ape) and I have become so intrigued by the idea of the world such an amazing being would inhabit! I’d love something romantic between this queen and her female second in command (real bonobos are a matriarchal society and I’d imagine mer-bonobos would be the same). Romance and seduction in an undersea world full of coral and fish and beautiful oceanic landscapes! <3 What would their love – and the society they live in – be like? How do the two high-ranking ladies take care of their undersea realm and meet the needs of the people who love them and look to them for leadership?
3) Baby Orangutan & Sanctuary Worker – Animal welfare and conservation is something I’m passionate about IRL, and I’m well known for my love of apes and cute overload. So that’s what I’m looking for here – something that shows the good work that sanctuary workers do, helping orphaned orangutans to grow up strong and healthy and loved so that they can someday be released back into the wild, and is also super-cute and adorable. A story or artwork that shows a special and unique bond! Any gender combination of characters is fine for this one. <3
4) Lonely Childless Woman & Haunted Baby Doll – Haunted dolls are a topic that’s come to fascinate me deeply lately! What I’m looking for in this story or art isn’t outright horror, but a sweet scenario of two lonely souls who find comfort in each other with paranormal elements. A baby who never had much love in life finally finds the mother he or she needs, and a woman who bought a pretty doll to console herself (perhaps she collects dolls) finds the child she longed for but never had. Horror elements could be added, though, if an outsider tries to interfere with the sweet bond that’s been created and Baby finds that she or he has to protect Mommy using some freaky supernatural powers! :D
5) Haunted Female Clown Doll/Female Psychic – Again, I’m not really looking for outright horror, but sort of an oddball, spooky romance. And I’m thinking of more of a feminine Pierrot-type of clown doll, not the clown from It here!!! Perhaps the psychic agrees to take the haunted doll from someone who’s experiencing a lot of strange phenomena that they can’t handle since acquiring the clown, and the clown decides she’s attracted to the psychic and attempts some ghostly wooing! What sort of tricks might the clown get up to, and how does the psychic react? Does this only happen when the pair are alone together or are there witnesses? What sort of romantic gestures would a haunted clown doll use to get the attention of someone she desires? What sort of a past did the clown have when she was alive, and what sort of bearing would that have on her actions now?
Overwatch
1) Baby Winston & Dr. Harold Winston – I keep watching Overwatch: Recall over and over again because the scene between them was just so adorable! The baby gorilla with the curiosity and longing to explore the Great Beyond and the kindly scientist who encouraged that thirst for knowledge – it’s just beautiful! I’d love more of that type of scenario and would love to see more of what their relationship was like. In what other ways could the Doctor encourage the little gorilla? What else is little Winston fascinated to know about?
