Dear Creator - ITPE 2024
Sep. 21st, 2024 07:59 pmGENERAL 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
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.
