Hey Ho, Let's Go APE!!!

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.


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: http://schlitzie-ramone.dreamwidth.org/6093.html)


My hard DO NOT WANTS are:

- noncon (though I love the "no no yes" trope if you match on The Fiend/Seth Rollins)
- 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/Seth Rollins, 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 the requests and some possible ideas for prompts!

Hello, dear creator! Thank you for being willing to create for me. I'm going to try and keep this letter as uncomplicated as possible and not too long. For this exchange, I'm happy to let you use the freeforms as prompts in themselves. depending on what you match on (though feel to add others too if you think they fit, and if you want to add something that's not there but it's not in my DNW list, feel free to add it too!) As long as you include some of my likes and stay clear of my DNWs you should be fine! <3 I will add an extra prompt or two with each fandom but these are of course completely optional.

One thing I particularly DO want to see if we deal with original child characters is a focus on daughters. Many canons make the birth of sons a big deal, and I would prefer to see girl-children get some welcoming love in this instance. I'm happy to see boys too if the characters have sons in canon already or if there is more than one child in your creation, though! <3

Things I DO like:

- female OC children if there is only one OC child in the story. If there's more than one then a mixture of sons and daughters is fine, but I would prefer a focus on daughters as sons get a lot of fanfare in many canons!
- 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)

- 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 biological or adoptive families
- smut (for some of my smutty likes, see my Smut Swap letter here: http://schlitzie-ramone.dreamwidth.org/6093.html)


My hard DO NOT WANTS are:
- male OC children if there is only one child
- 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
- adult female characters being submissive to males (it's fine to have female children getting some loving fatherly guidance but I don't want them to be submissive types either)
- darkfic
- graphic depictions of child or animal abuse (although allusions to those happening in the past are OK if the story requires it)
- unrequested ships
- animal characters being changed into humans
- character bashing

I know we’re only guaranteed to match on one kink, but if others I’ve suggested seem to fit your creation as well, feel free to use them too! :D

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), 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, lovers experimenting with new kinks and pleasures, playful and even funny elements, mischief and humor, curiosity about differences, getting wet and messy during sex, former outcasts finding a place to belong where they are valued and loved.

My hard Do Not Wants are: outright non-con, sex without love, homophobia, child or animal abuse graphically depicted (though allusions to this happening in the past are fine), non-human characters being transformed into humans or AUs where they were always human, character death of requested characters, unhappy endings and complete and pure angst with no hope in sight, female characters being submissive to male ones in any way. Also please no extreme underage – 16 and up is fine as that’s the age of consent in my country (or the equivalent for non-human characters would be that they must be recognizably adult, I guess). Please do not even include mentions of these DNWs!

If you’re an artist I’m not fussy about art styles, or colour choices, or colour vs black and white, and am extremely curious to see what you come up with, and for Original Works, where there is no visual representation of the characters existing, how you interpret their physical forms.

If you are a writer and we match on Original Work or include original characters in a fandom story: I’m fine with either “standard” names for original characters, or made-up ones. If you make up names, however, I only ask that they be easy to pronounce – for example, names like “Kessi” and “Lyrilla” are fine. “Xzyquiertzopil” – not so much!!! And either a long and plotty fic with lots of worldbuilding or a shorter porny scene will be equally loved and welcomed! Or maybe it’ll be something in between those two – I’ll totally adore that as well! <3

For both writers and artists who match on Original Work - re visual and written descriptions of human characters - I like a diverse range of body types and appearances, but would prefer for human characters not to look like conventional "Hollywood hotties", or looking or dressing like a bodybuilder or supermodel when that isn't realistic for the occupation that they have.

Now, onto optional details and some possible prompts that I hope might inspire you!

I’m going to try and keep this short, as I don’t want this to be exhausting to read and too constraining for you as a creator. As I said earlier, whatever we match on and you choose to use, I’m sure to love it as long as you avoid any DNWs! If there’s something I haven’t mentioned in here that might fit for your creation and it’s in line with my general likes, then go for it! :D

(And yes, I admit it at long last – I do have a thing for fictional, highly intelligent ape characters so that’s the theme I’m going with this year! <3)

Though some prompts may seem longer than others, I love the fandoms all just as much as each other and would be equally delighted to receive any one of them as my gift. Some I have requested before and want more of, others are new Yuletide treasures for me!

Things I do like in a story: 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, humor and someone stumbling on an unlikely but completely right for the situation solution when disaster looks likely to be looming, found families, kidfic, m/m and f/f smut (for some of my smutty likes, see my Smut Swap letter here: https://schlitzie-ramone.dreamwidth.org/4072.html)

My hard Do Not Wants are: outright non-con, main character death or death of one or both halves of the main pairing (unless I’ve suggested a prompt where a character is already deceased and appears as a ghost), unhappy endings and complete and pure angst with no hope in sight, female characters being submissive to males, darkfic, graphic depictions of child or animal abuse (although allusions to those happening in the past are OK if the story requires it), unrequested ships, animal characters being changed into humans, explicit m/f smut (except for Rise of the Planet of the Apes if you choose the Caesar/Cornelia/Koba plot – I’m fine with it then, but only if Cornelia is not submissive and the males are equally involved with each other, not just with her!).

( My Requests for This Yuletide )

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!

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, humor and someone stumbling on an unlikely but completely right for the situation solution when disaster looks likely to be looming!.

My hard Do Not Wants are: outright non-con, 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, maiming, female characters being submissive to males, darkfic, graphic depictions of animal abuse or child abuse.

(I suppose an exception to the "character death" would be the ghost characters, but they've already died so it doesn't count, I suppose!)

I'm happy with any rating, and for shippy stories I like any type of romance that isn't too dark and angsty, including smut if you want to create it. For an idea of some of my smut likes, here's my recent Smut Swap letter: https://schlitzie-ramone.dreamwidth.org/4072.html

Now, on to requests and a few prompts that I hope might inspire you! In no particular order.

Things I do like in a story: 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, humor and someone stumbling on an unlikely but completely right for the situation solution when disaster looks likely to be looming!.

My hard Do Not Wants are: outright non-con, 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, female characters being submissive to males, darkfic, child abuse.

Now, onto the fandoms and some possible ideas you may be able to use for inspiration! The canons are listed in no particular order and the prompts are guidelines rather than absolute must-haves. If you come up with a totally new plot that avoids my DNWs and incorporates things I do like, feel free to go for it!

My hard Do Not Wants are: outright non-con, homophobia, child or animal abuse graphically depicted (though allusions to this happening in the past are fine), character death of requested characters (unless one is already a ghost), unhappy endings and complete and pure angst with no hope in sight. I also don’t want female characters being submissive to male ones. Also please no extreme underage – 16 and up is fine as that’s the age of consent in my country (or the equivalent for non-human characters would be being recognizably adult, I guess).

A note on names for original characters, if you match on Original Work or include original characters in a fandom story: I’m fine with either “standard” names or made-up ones. If you make up names, however, I only ask that they be easy to pronounce – for example, names like “Kessi” and “Lyrilla” are fine. “Xzyquiertzopil” – not so much!!!

And also a note on clowns: Where I’ve asked for clown characters, I prefer cute and pretty clowns to scary-looking ones, even if the scenario is a bit spooky! I’m not really wanting something like the clown from “It”
to appear, especially since I didn’t request that fandom!

Now, onto optional details and some possible prompts that I hope might inspire you!

I’m going to try and keep this short, as I don’t want this to be exhausting to read and too constraining for you as a creator. Some of the kinks for Original Works seem more specific to certain pairing requests and no doubt those would have been offered with certain matches in mind, but most are pretty general and can be applied across pairings. As I said earlier, whatever we match on and you choose to use, I’m sure to love it as long as you avoid any DNWs! If there’s something I haven’t mentioned in here that might fit for your creation and it’s in line with my general likes, then go for it! :D
