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 the fandoms all just as much as each other and would be equally delighted to receive any one of them as my gift, and I enjoy both shippy/romantic stories and gen. If you include romance and/or smut, I prefer m/m and f/f, or F/m (femdom). NO M/f (femsub) please as it is one of my Do Not Wants.

Things I DO like in a story or artwork:


- 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)
- characters who are or were social outcasts triumphing over the smug conformists and privileged self-righteous types
- hurt/comfort
- strengthening of comradeship bonds and characters being willing to go the extra mile to help someone they care about
- someone stumbling on an unlikely but completely right for the situation solution when disaster looks likely to be looming
- found families and/or kidfic
- good endings for the requested characters unless they are the designated "bad guys" (see my DNW Exception marked with an asterisk (*) below)
- smut (for some of my smutty likes, see my Smut 4 Smut letter: http://schlitzie-ramone.dreamwidth.org/8980.html



Horror-Specific Likes:


- spooky, creepy atmosphere
- uncanny valley
- ghosts or monsters protecting a human or humans they love, and woe betide anyone who tries to harm the human loved one(s)
- The “humans are the real monsters” trope – smug, conformist types like arrogant skeptics, busybody relatives of an eccentric family member, interfering townsfolk with a mob mentality, fundamentalist religious leaders and greedy profiteers being more evil in reality than any paranormal entity or creature, and getting their well-deserved come-uppance at the hands of said entities and creatures
- The “skeptic becoming a believer” trope – someone believes that ghosts, monsters etc. are not real, but then they ARE!
- "creepy but cute" imagery


My hard DO NOT WANTS are:


- rape or noncon
- death of requested characters (others are fair game) - see below for exceptions marked with an asterisk (*)
- physical/psychological harm committed between requested characters - see below for exceptions marked with an asterisk (*)
- sex without love or attraction
- unrequited romantic feelings
- paranormal entities or monsters turning against their human companions/loved ones
- homophobia
- female characters being submissive to males
- death of child characters (although alluding to someone who has a paranormal or monster adopted child having lost a child in the past is fine, and it's fine for a haunted doll to be haunted by the ghost of a child)
- graphic depictions of child or animal abuse (although allusions to those happening in the past are OK if the story requires it)
- unrequested ships or kinks being the focus of the fanwork
- animal characters being changed into humans
- excessive gore
- eye and tooth trauma
- amputation
- torture porn

* DNW Exception for Original Works and World Wrestling Entertainment – for these Original Works stories or artworks it’s fine to harm or kill off the Greedy Land Developers, Thieves Breaking Into (the Doll Collector’s) House or the Bigfoot Hunters as these would be the designated “bad guys”. And if you match on The Fiend pairings for World Wrestling Entertainment, it's fine to have plenty of dubcon and mind games that "change" the Fiend's partner, as long as Seth or Daniel isn't broken and miserable by the end of it.

Now, on to the fandoms and some prompt ideas!

( Fandoms and Prompts )

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 all just as much as each other and would be equally delighted to receive any one of them as my gift.

Things I do like: 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: http://schlitzie-ramone.dreamwidth.org/6093.html)

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, homophobia, 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 if you match on the Caesar/Cornelia/Koba request - I'd be fine with f/m/m smut then, but only if Cornelia is not submissive and there is also m/m content).

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.

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, 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)

( 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.

( Requests )

Well, hello dear, lovely creative person who got assigned challenging little me! Aren't you brave?

Seriously, though, I'm not requesting anything too weird or hard to do (I hope!)

A few little things - I tend to prefer slash/femslash to het if you put any romance in there. And I also tend to prefer cute, happy and/or funny to dark and angsty. My last and second-to-last requests, to be sure, do have the potential to be horror-themed or mildly angsty, which I’m fine with, but even then I would prefer atmospheric and chilling and delightfully spooky or angst with a happy ending to out-and-out gory or hopelessly angsty if you go that route.

My hard and fast do not wants are unhappy endings, excessive angst, non-con, female characters bring submissive to male ones in any way, and character death.

A lot of my requests this round are for circus, sideshow and carnival-themed songs. I’m getting well known for my love of such things – especially the old-time freak shows and the darling pinheads (some of the songs are about pinheads, but even for the ones that aren't and have a carnival theme, it would be totally awesome, if appropriate for the story or picture, if a sweet pinhead character was included, even if they were only a side character rather than the protagonist). But of course there’s so much more fun stuff that can be put into these types of stories/artworks as well – the Ferris wheels and merry-go-rounds, the hot dogs and cotton candy, the performers of all kinds – especially the clowns! Happy clowns, funny clowns, melancholy clowns, scary clowns – I love ‘em!!! :)

Not all of the requests have circus themes, however – so if you really can’t do circus, there are other things you can write or draw in there! :)

On to the fandoms and requests! In no particular order!

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!)!

( Fandoms and Requests )

Hi there, wonderful writer or artist! :)
My requests are going to be pretty general so you can be as creative as you please. I'll post a list of optional things I'd like for you to pick and choose from, and things I do NOT want. These will cover all the fandoms I chose and can apply to tricks and treats alike! Please note - the prompts given are just some optional ideas - if you come up with something else entirely that fits with my likes and avoids my Do Not Wants, then go for it! <3

Things I'd enjoy seeing in fic or art:

Romance and/or friendship (For romance I prefer slash and femslash to het, usually. But I am quite happy with gen! I do like sweet friendship stories too).
Happy or at least hopeful endings
Humor, jokes and fun - maybe pranks if my gift is a trick!
Slightly spooky, creepy Halloween themes
Cats, can be black or any other color!
Circuses and sideshows
Carnivals and thrill rides
Cute or scary clowns
Yummy things to eat
Music
Characters being awesome
Monsters, cute or scary
Hugs
People taking care of one another
Someone becoming an awesome supernatural being like an alien or angel (Pepper might be good for this one, or any Original characters)
Cute overload in general!!!

Things I DO NOT WANT:

Death of any of my nominated characters (but if you're assigned Vampire Chronicles it's OK to kill off minor mortal characters. If you get the Clown Ghost character this does not apply of course as they're already dead!)
Unhappy endings for my nominated characters
Anything too grim and lacking in hope
Non-con
Anyone who's good and sweet turning evil
Tons of gore (a good scare is fine, but nothing squicky please!)
Any harm coming to the cats mentioned in List One!!!

That's about it, really. Have fun!

Fandoms and characters I've requested (listed in no particular order):

American Horror Story - Freak Show: Pepper
Rise of the Planet of the Apes Movies: Koba
Frozen: Elsa
Original Work: Female Circus Clown, Woman Who Runs Away With The Circus, Baby Ape, Mer-Bonobo Alpha Female, Clown Ghost
Vampire Chronicles: Claudia
Kong: Skull Island: Kong


( Optional Prompts and Plot Ideas )

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.

Some prompts lean more towards shipping and others gen - I'm fond of both kinds of fic/art. Stories or art do not have to have erotic content, but it’s very welcome if you want to include it!

Things I like in a story: fluff, cuteness, romance, friendship, found families, female characters as leaders, overcoming adversity through co-operation, fun, adventure, acceptance of diversity. For the most part I prefer f/f for romantic relationships.

My hard Do Not Wants: non-con, abusive relationships, major character death, too much angst, unhappy endings. female characters being submissive to males, m/f smut.
