Smutswap Dear Creator Letter
Feb. 18th, 2018 09:57 amHello, 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 the fandoms all just as much as each other and would be equally delighted to receive any one of them as my gift.
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.
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
