Dear Creator - ITPE 2024

It's ITPE Time!! Part of the joy of these exchanges is learning how to modify my letter lol. This is a lot of information, but I am going to break it down by: stuff I generally enjoy, fandoms I'm most into and what I love within them, and authors I generally like who have blanket permission.

GENERAL LIKES

THEMES: trans main characters, particularly characters who use neopronouns; gender exploration / identity exploration; angst with a happy ending; found family (including genfic); explicit consent in nsfw works; polyamory & qpp rleationships

TROPES: FIX-IT FIC; fake dating / didn't know they were dating / fake not-dating / stealth dating; there was only one bed, mutual pining, soulmates; crack treated seriously

AU fics loved; canon divergence all the way to modern / no powers or specifically themed aus. Crossover style aus (x characters in y universe) are so fun, but if I haven't created for the source material, I'd prefer that the fic be understandable w/o knowledge of the "y universe" context. 

Crossovers/Fusions are great, especially if they're fandoms I have listed here or fandoms I have created in extensively!

In Podfic: texting fics; any degree of music or sfx that brings you joy to include (they're not mandatory but I enjoy podfics with them, so if you enjoy making podfics with them, please follow your heart!!)

Rating: I don't mind sexually explicit fics, but I do strongly prefer either 1) porn with strong focus on the feelings & intimacy, or 2) a lot of plot / relationship / other content, plus porn. Just PWP for the sake of it isn't as strongly appealing to me (unless it's trans. Because then I will bring my own gender feelings to it and you're golden.)

Honorable Mention: I enjoy angst and am often fine with unhappy endings. That said, I do prefer in scenarios like that to know going in, so I'm less of a "choose not to warn" kind of person.

Things I Do Not Want: 

• Noncon (dubcon can be hit or miss, but there's wiggle room)
  
• "on screen" childbirth and/or graphic discussion of pregnancy (mentioned or minor in the story is fine)
  
• psychiatric institutionalization as a story element (mention of past history with this is fine; focus on the effect of this, even after, less so)
  
• relationships with unaddressed & starkly unequal power dynamics that lead to dubious consent scenarios
• explicit/graphic self-harm or suicide (mentions are fine)
• poorly handled mental health tropes (ex: anything featuring "split personality" for horror reasons or using personality disorders or psychosis to indicate 'evilness' in a character. I absolutely love some good explorations of PTSD / trauma / mental health, but very little will piss me off as much as poorly handled mental illness--especially when it exacerbates the stigma around certain illnesses & disorders irl)
  

CURRENT MAIN FANDOMS

1. Danny Phantom x DC Crossover Fandom

I am currently deep into this crossover. My favorites are when Danny is approximately the age of the batkids, and I enjoy gen fic as much as ship fic here. My main ships are Danny/Tim & Danny/Jason if you're going ship; I also really ship Jazz/Steph(/Cass). I love fics that deal with the ways in which these fandoms can merge to make something that augments the best of both, such as "Lazarus Pit is Ectoplasm" trope, or how the Justice League would feel about the Anti-Ecto Acts, or if Batman considers halfas to be metas. Also, my stealth favorite Danny Phantom character has somehow become Dani, so I will adore if she's included.

2. DCU / Batman - All Media Types

I am here for the batfam. Main ships are Tim Drake/Kon-El(/Bernard Dowd), Tim Drake/Jason Todd, Jason Todd/Roy Harper, Tim Drake/Jason Todd/Roy Harper, Stephanie Brown/Cassandra Cain, or genuinely just gen batfam shenanigans. I adore Tim Drake & Jason Todd & Stephanie Brown & Cassandra Cain all as primary characters, and would probably enjoy Jason & Steph or Jason & Cass (or all three!) bonding just as much as any ship fic.

3.DCU / Marvel Crossover Fandom

 

I love: Jason Todd/Clint Barton/Bucky Barnes/Roy Harper in pretty much any combo. I also accidentally sold myself on shipping Venom/Eddie/Jason Todd so by all means, if you can find it, you can pod it for me!

4. Marvel

Clint Barton/Bucky Barnes is really the only Marvel I'm still into these days. I do remain soft for Venom/Eddie(/Anne/Dan) so that too I suppose! I also enjoy Clint Barton/Bucky Barnes/Natasha Romanov. Oh! And Carol Danvers/Maria Rambeaux always.

5. Star Wars - All Media Types

5a. Prequels / TCW Era: I love clones. I love clone culture worldbuilding. I love clone relationships, romantic or gen. I particularly love Fox and Cody. Some of my top ships for this era: Fox/Bail Organa/Breha Organa, Fox/Cody, Cody/Obi-Wan, Echo/Fives/Fox, Tup/Dogma. I am particularly weak for angsty Coruscant Guard fics, but especially if there's a glimmer of hope in the ending.
5b. Rebels: Kallus/Zeb for life. I do not ship Sabine with Ezra, but I do love their friendship / siblinghood. Kanan/Hera is a soft favorite of mine, but I am less likely to seek out fic centering their relationship. I also adore Kallus being friends with Cassian Andor, which is a niche I blame Wanderingjedihistorian for my obsession with.
5c: Other: I adore Cal Kestis and I want endlessly more fic about Cal. I kind of ended up shipping Cal/Din Djarin? Otherwise, my literal favorite blorbo is Jon Antilles. I am such a simp for Jon Antilles. Please pod me Jon Antilles. I will not lie, that is my top request.
