Favorite characters & relationships:
Overall, I have a fondness for the mythological, non-human, and overlooked characters.

Everyone and everything in Okami and Okamiden! But especially Ammy, Chibi, Waka, and Kurow. I like my puppies and my moon kids and want to see all four of them interact, okay? I’m also somewhat intrigued by Kuni in a “I bet I could make him really interesting under the right circumstances” way.

For the Megaten games I’m especially interested in the summons and demons. I just think they’re neat. Also, anyone who has a good tie to mythology or has a sense of history. I like Raidou and Narumi in a non-shippy way. I like exploring Raidou’s connection to his demons, and I’m intrigued by Naoya’s and the MC’s relationship with their summons over their incarnations

The corrupted cores and crap turrets are hilarious, and I'd love a good idea of how to use them. Also, Cave Johnson and Caroline have fabulous potential for corporate/science shenanigans, and all the terrible and creepy aftermath of that.

Everyone in Psychonauts is awesome, from the silly campers to the hip and neurotic counselors to Raz himself. I also love the mental worlds and would like to design more of them.

In Odin Sphere I enjoy making Ingway’s life pain, with Mercedes sassily coming along for the ride. I’m also intrigued by the relationship between Ingway and Gwendolyn, since the game didn’t show any of that.

For FFX and FFX-2, the only ones I’m really interested in are the fayths/aeons, the Crimson Squad (Baralai especially), and Seymour. Braska and crew are also pretty interesting. Summons and summoners!

I like FF Tactics but I’ll probably have to keep it lighthearted and limited to Ramza’s band of rebels since I don’t have time for a canon refresher. Ramza, Mustadio, and newcomer Balthier are all fun.

I want to write Flower but don’t really know how. If anyone has a good idea how to approach this, please, prompt!

Characters/relationships you're not interested in working with:
For the most part, I’m not that interested in the main characters as much as the side characters. The more obscure/underused, the better!

Not interested in writing for most of the FFX characters unless noted

Not interested in writing Oswald and Gwendolyn romance

Not interested in any non-canon relationship with a big age difference or other abuse of power thing going on (ex: no teacher/student, child/adult, master/slave things please)

Themes, genres, kinks, etc., that you really enjoy:
Mythology!
Plotty things!
Ties to in-canon referenced stories/operas/media
Silly prompts (I can do humor pretty well)
Crossovers that make sense
Reincarnations and repeating patterns through different lives
Really interesting, unusual ideas that haven’t been written for a fandom before
Characters who haven’t met/interacted much getting to interact
Really minor characters
Child characters growing up, or other aging of characters
Working with game mechanics
Taking premises to an interesting conclusion

Any themes, genres, kinks, etc., that you'd particularly like to avoid:
I don’t write porn
I don’t do human Ammy (this doesn’t discount a relationship with Waka, just dog version only)
I pretty much don’t go higher than PG-13 for gore, though implications of it is fine

What kind of prompts do you like best?
Ones with very interesting premises. Give me a really neat idea, and I’ll try to run with it!

Themes, genres, kinks, etc., that you really enjoy:
I prefer things to veer a little darker, including humour, so I'm more fond of snark and bittersweetness than crack or straight-up fluff. If romance or sex is a factor, I'm least interested in exclusive m/f; m/m, f/f and threesomes-or-moresomes (any mix) are my preferences. Gen is also excellent. Characters and how they think/feel about what's going on are more important to me than action or explicit porn (but of course something does need to be going on for them to think/feel about). Kinks involving power, loss of control, altered states, etc. make me very happy. Devotion, loyalty, obsession and madness are also themes that I really enjoy.

Any themes, genres, kinks, etc., that you'd particularly like to avoid:
Somehow I ended up talking about what I don't like on the way to talking about what I DO, above. Additonally, bodily fluids are not a favourite. Semi-related to that, I tend not to write anything explicit involving genitals--I can try, but it somehow fades to black or gets vague on me 90% of the time. Misunderstandings that lead to feelings of betrayal or hurt can be tough. Social missteps leading to humiliation/embarrassment, especially when it's played for laughs, also can be tough.

What kind of prompts do you like best?
I'm not really sure, I've worked successfully with both detailed and vague prompts. Options are good, but single words or images can also be really fruitful. Go nuts, I guess?
