* Please note the important note about these two pairings (+ extras) below.

Characters/relationships you're not interested in working with:
Pairings not specified above. Blood familial relationships, particularly siblings and parent-child relationships (even if gen, even if in the background). Van Grants. Alexei.

Themes, genres, kinks, etc., that you really enjoy:

I prefer to write stories that foreground relationships and character development and with background adventure/politics/grand scale happenings. I like working with history.

All very good: Partnerships, friendships, established/long term relationships (first time sexual encounters are fine, but I prefer to be able to work with the history behind that first time), drawn out mutual UST, make-up sex/reunions/second chances/resurrecting characters killed by canon, domesticity/cooking together/washing together/sleeping next to each other, alcohol/drunkenness, food, magic, technology, game mechanics (particularly but not limited to in the service of kink). I like writing about relationships that negotiate differences in status or authority (again, particularly, but not limited to in the context of kink).

And speaking of kink: Kinks, yes, please - and please note that I include "gen" kink in this (stories with high kink content but low ratings, maybe because it's fetish rather than sexual content, maybe because they're doing foreplay in public, etc.) I like writing foreplay, negotiation, explicitly and enthusiastically expressed consent, and aftercare as much as explicit sexual content-- as well as kinky people being kinky at moments that are not about sex at all (see everything I said about domesticity/affection/intimacy above).

D/s is very welcome (particularly but not limited to with switches), as is anything with humiliation or orgasm denial/control, anything with roleplay (e.g. dub-con/non-con, genderplay, ageplay), anything with bodily secretion kinks (e.g. bloodplay, comeplay, watersports, vomiting, over-eating, enemas, scat), anything with xenokink, tentacles or furry-- but really anything with a kink that seems to fit the characters or pairing will be potentially very interesting to me. I like that sort of challenge, figuring out how *these* characters would do *that* kink. I also like the challenge of pairing up characters with non-obviously compatible kinks: for example, a sadist with a fetishist (as opposed to with a masochist).

Special notes about Judith/Rita & Natla/Croft: In sharp contrast to most of the pairs I've listed, I do not want these pairs fluffy or domestic and I'd prefer them non-con or dub-con at the least rather than consensual. Prompts about these pairs I'd like to include any of: betrayal, abuse of authority, humiliation, sexual slavery, coercion/threats, mind-breaking, mind control.

Any themes, genres, kinks, etc., that you'd particularly like to avoid:
Family relationships. Unrequited affection, love triangles or drama hinging on jealousy. 24/7 BDSM/D/s relationships or the BDSM or clubbing "scenes". I'm not often squickable, but I'd prefer not to be prompted for anything (kinky or otherwise) that involves permanent injury, disability, death, and especially anything that involves or heads towards permanent relationship break-ups for those listed as an OTP above.

What kind of prompts do you like best?
Pairing/moresome + kink(s) is always good, as is some indication about the kind of mood/emotion or time/place/setting. I prefer prompts with a few, specific main elements (ie fewer rather than many options), but also being open-ended about the smaller details. With AUs, I work better with hints how the AU connects to canon (ie "what if X had happened instead" or "characters A and B are small furry animals instead of their canon representations") rather than broad prompts like "sci fi AU".

Do you write, draw, or both?: Mostly write.

Fandoms you're excited about right now:
Ace Attorney series, Final Fantasy 4 and 12, Suikoden series, Vagrant Story,

Favorite characters & relationships:
Ace Attorney: Pretty much everyone, but as for pairings, Phoenix/Edgeworth, Kristoph/Phoenix, Gumshoe/Maggey, Klavier with Ema or Vera, Apollo with same.
FF4: Kain, Rydia. The Cecil/Rosa/Kain dynamic.
FF12: Again, pretty much everyone. I don't really ship anyone.
Suikoden: Viktor/Flik, Camus/Miklotov, Geddoe's crew, Arshtat/Ferid. Tir and Gremio (and the rest of the McDohls) only platonic.
Vagrant Story: Sydney/Hardin, alone or together.
Will be happy to write any sort of interaction, gen or pairing, with anyone mentioned; it's the characters and dynamic I like, regardless of whether they're romantically involved.

Characters/relationships you're not interested in working with:
Always willing to branch out if a prompt's interesting and I feel familiar enough with the characters involved.

Themes, genres, kinks, etc., that you really enjoy:
Taking things that are already painful and making them more painful. Unhealthy relationships, mental illness/instability, substance abuse, aftermath of terrible events. Just as long as I get to have the characters recover. On the flipside, sitcom-ish humor and slice-of-life vignettes are also fun to write. "What-if" scenarios where one little thing changes from canon can also be interesting, or plugging plot holes. (Unfortunately they sometimes spawn things so long I would not have the story done by the time this round is over...)

Any themes, genres, kinks, etc., that you'd particularly like to avoid:
Rape, incest (including not-quite-incest like Gremio/Tir or Edgeworth/Franziska), PWP. I don't mind sexual situations as long as the story is about more than the porn.

What kind of prompts do you like best?
Scenarios are good. Prompts that can be interpreted as gen or a pairing are excellent, and "what-ifs" as mentioned above.

Tales of Destiny: Chelsea
Vagrant Story: Rosencrantz

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?
