blueyetiHello lovely creator (or interested snooper).
If you came here from kitchen sink bingo, welcome! Please feel free to treat any solo character nominations (in this case, specifically John Sheppard and Vala Mal Doran, but also previously requested solo character) as little black dress characters. They look good on anyone (or anyone's floor). I am happy seeing them shipped with anyone, with any level of romance, asexuality, monsterfucking, consent etc. Including crossover characters.

Art Likes
I'm not a visual artist (occasionally a textile one, I suppose), but I adore and respect folks who fanart. You all are geniuses with magic abilities I'm envious as hell over. Folks who make comics as well. I am so jealous and you're amazing.
I love colour, and I love contrasts. I really love when someone plays with colour, light and shadows, (uncoloured and black ink drawings are also amazing). I like things with movement in them, and I will appreciate the hell out of whatever you create. My personal colour scheme is 'a rainbow vomited here', but I love when colour in a work helps create the mood. A little pop of a distant light in a scene of blues and browns etc.
My fave art style is probably impressionism, and my favourite design time periods are Art Nuoveaux, Art Deco, and mid-century modernism. But I have broad tastes and enjoy all types of fanart, just letting you know some specific OwO vibes.
For shippy things I adore seeing soft moments, like hands in hair, or cuddles on a couch, or sleeping. Sharing clothes is *perfect*. If fandom appropriate, uniforms etc as well.
NSFW things: lingerie (including men in lacy things), piercings and tattoos, disheveled clothes, helping someone undressing (or dressing) is so hot. I'm good with going as explicit as you'd like to, with as much detail as you have fun with. Propped on desks, walls, or over chairs is always hot. Aftermath of sexy things is also *hot like anything* and I love it.
Opt-in type topics and themes which probably deserve a mention:
I'm very happy for you to create original characters/creatures/viewpoints to explore whatever worldbuilding aspects and timelines you want to play with, or a view on the blorbos or ship or situation.
Trans-headcanons, explorations, and queering of canons is always welcome. All Rule 63 methods and ideas always welcome. Queering any character or situation is always welcome. Rule 63 situations with a masc canon character turned fem, which also turns a gay ship into a het ship is welcome (other way around with a canon cis fem turned cis male, *and* that turning a lesbian ship into a het one, I'm not into; canon cis fem being transmasc and that turning a lesbian ship into a f/m one is awesome).
Making something *more weird* is always welcome. If you want to take the historical blorbos, give them daemons, pop them on a spaceship where they're tattoo artists who learnt it in space prison? Go for it. I just don't like AUs which reduces the weird, so modern for historical or fandoms, contemporary AU for sci fi, or no-magic for magic ones etc. If you want to add magic and sci fi and historical AUs? Yes please.
Crossovers are lovely. My usual guidance for that is explicitly 'anything I've bookmarked or requested before', but I'm good for any crossover if it is what I've seen termed fandom agnostic. You can go for fandom blind if it allows for some level of outside pov to give me context, or context isn't required and it's just cool characters repurposed: Leverage crew ends up investigating your crossover fandom etc. So if my blorbo drops into a new fandom, and it's blorbo's pov of what the fuck is going on and wondering what this situation is, or the other way around, with the new fandom pov on my blorbo crew, the set up will absolutely give me joy and I'll read that blind and with delight.
Bulletproof Tropes
Rule 63 fics - however that works for you. Cis characters, trans characters, everyone switched, one blorbo switched. I especially love when we look at the different ways people socialise their kids male or female, or the ways others react to them based on gender. What is different because of gender, either on a personal level or a wider world level. cis!M/cis!M cis ships turned cis!F/cis!M ships are fine. cis!F/cis!F turned cis!F/cis!M aren't interesting to me. cis!F/cis!F turned into cis!F/trans!M is awesome.
Time Travel - Time travel fix-its, time loops, time travel gone wrong, time travel worse-its, groundhog day fic. I love messing with time. OMFG, the combination of time travel fix-it and time travel worse-it in the same fic? Like, sure, you can kill the dark lord at 11, but now you're stuck in a child's body as an adult and are surrounded by teenagers and develop an alcohol and potions habit just to cope with this terrible reality you exist in? Yes *please*. Time travel with a side of raise themselves better? Random time travel which is uncontrolled and helpless and hopeless and stressful?
Clone/doubles etc fic - consider this an opt in for clonecest etc as well.
Peak clone fic is always when there's no easy answer. I adore when they don't know which is the clone, and they're both real to themselves. Aftermath of a clone situation? What happens next? Dimension travel with doubles etc is also awesome. I love shoving characters who think they should be the same next to each other and shaking to see what happens when they're really different.
Daemon AU | BDSM AU | Space Pirates AU | Tattoo Shop AU | Hunger Games AU | Prison AU | Historical AU | Gangster AU | Vampire AU | Supernatural AU | Soulmate AU | Bodyguard AU | Fantasy AU | Fusion fics (even with fandoms I don't know)
In general, I don't want to take away any supernatural/sci fi/historical elements of canon, but if you want to have canonical werewolves who also are tattoo artists etc, that fits outside my standard DNW of mundane AU. Supernatural prison AU! in space! Where they learn tattooing as a prison skill! Making things weirder is always welcome. Someone who used to be a hero is now a bodyguard for another hero/villain/their kid? Sure.
Transformation fic - both in the mundane human learns things and makes changes to how they live in the world, and also in the And They're a Dragon Now way. Shapeshifters etc are awesome. Possessed by a demon? Animal shifter AU? Sudden appearance of werewolf?
Kid fic - badasses going feral over their bio/foster/adopted/random child is lovely. Good parents. Complicated parents who are trying. Canon situations being more complicated because there's a kid who needs to be picked up from karate. Someone who had an canonically sarcastically A+ parent actually getting some decent support either as a child or as an adult.
Subcategory: feral kids. I adore the feral ones. You looked at their sibling funny and now they've got a knife and they really aren't putting it down, oh dear, what happened to them? Yes please.
Bad guys who hate that they've grown morals. You know the type. They sigh, lament that they're not as terrible as they used to be, and then save their heroic lover from danger, bitching them out all the way. Enemies to lovers, enemies to caretaker, enemies to lovers to reluctant allies.
Competence Kink (non sexual or sexual). A character who can take down a room of badguys in very competent ways? Someone who can school another with words? Someone who is too smart for their own good? Yes please. So many of my blorbos are ridiculously competent, and that's why I love them. Show someone being competent at what makes them them? Yes please.
Aftermath fic - I love the ripples after something big happened. What next? What's after the big bad got vanquished? What happens when they get a moment to think? Who do they turn to when the stakes are lower? What goes on in the politics of rebuilding a destroyed city?
Cities/Entities that are Big and Alive.
Atlantis? Gotham? Let them be legit cursed and alive and creepy? Alive and friendly? Alive and indifferent to human problems?
Ships like Farscape's Moya who are alive are also amazing. Add some fantasy? Some steampunk? I like things being alive that we don't expect to have opinions.
Crack treated seriously
Add some muppets? A bonkers crossover? A completely weird mash up of characters? If you treat these weird ideas seriously I adore them. Don't just have Elmo visit Crime Alley, have Elmo get PTSD from how he was mugged and someone shoved their whole fist up his backside and moved him like a puppet. (If I keep this in my letter long enough, I will eventually write it, and that will traumatise someone...)
Smut Likes
○ My preferred smut words: anything which is historically accurate or appropriate to the pov character (if they're a dudebro who would dirty text 'cum', yes; if they're a doctor, and they use correct anatomy, that's amazing.)
○ Secondary to character or setting words, I find these words least jarring/sexiest: cock, dick, prick, balls, come/coming/came as verb (but cum as noun for semen is okay), cunt, pussy, labia, folds, entrance, center, hole (for arsehole).
DNW: slit, meat, hole (for vagina)
○ Slow burn
○ Banter during sex
○ laughing during sex (either flailing sex, or joking, or just being joyful)
○ oral sex of all kinds (especially into the giver being into it)
○ anal or vaginal fingering
○ anal or vaginal penetration (including double penetration/overwhelm/stretching/fisting)
○ intercrural sex
○ spitroasting
○ praise kink
○ oral being enjoyed by the giver
○ loyalty and trust being the kink
○ competence being the kink (either sexually or platonically)
○ I'd love some knives and danger and blood with characters being furiously competent
○ ladies who are hyper-orgasmic
○ sex as overwhelming emotionally
○ power imbalances
○ overstimulation
○ hypersensitivity
○ Dom/sub
○ BDSM
○ someone desperate to be giving to their partner
○ vampires (I don't know, it popped into my brain, it's 2am) but also monsterfucking and weirdness
○ someone holding down the penetrative partner and taking what they want
○ topping from the bottom
○ sex magic, if the magic is a thing in the verse you're writing in (or you want to AU it to be there)
○ fuck or die / sex pollen / cuddle pollen etc
○ a partner being obsessed with one aspect of their partner, but it's a random thing which isn't straightforwardly sexy, like forearms, or the way they laugh
○ previous/current sex worker being competent and unashamed of their knowledge
○ manhandling (omg, so much manhandling)
○ monsterfucking (I will not apologise for monsterfucking being in the list twice)
○ tentacles
○ surprise tentacles
Kinky Likes
This is a long list, but it's hardly exhaustive. I will read anything twice. I have read and enjoyed some really intriguing kinks, and if you've got a good plan in mind, I'd love to see it. I have been into almost everything at one point. Avoid my few DNWs, and I'll be all over it.
I like both platonic and smutty kink, and here are some flavours I like a lot:
• folks misusing BSDM for emotional reasons
• bratty subs / it's not about submission, it's actually about fighting to be able to give in and that's rare for the blorbo
• bondage (rope bondage is extra nice)
• pain kink
• people watching their current partner with others
• exhibitionism
• kink discovery and exploration; trying to find or push limits
• character coming to terms with what they like
• masochism and sadism
• submission, subspace, wanting and needing it and feeling guilty about it too.
• dominant masochism (love me some sub masochism as well, but a dom telling someone exactly how to hurt them is delicious).
• service topping
• creative dom
• praise kink
• breeding kink (especially if pregnancy isn't possible or the actual goal. Think m/m ships in no-mpreg worlds; biologically compatible folks who aren't aiming for pregnancy; a pregnant woman pegging the man who knocked her up while talking about how she's going to make him carry a baby? Absolutely!)
marking + possession themes:
○ under-clothes rope bondage
○ collaring when it's emotionally important to the sub
○ skilled dom consensually marking their partner, either permanently or temporary (dnw: a sub getting a name/portrait tattoo etc; real world implications are icky to me). One fic with a sadist giving his sub a nipple piercing, however, has lived rent free in my head since 2006; a different fic with a sub specifically asking a dom for a permanent knife mark has hung around since 2011.
○ possessive dom consensually lending out sub, but being a bit of a control freak about it, or directing it, or watching. Sub being greedy or bratty or overwhelmed by the lending is awesome.
○ possessive reunions where the sub loves it, and the dom goes a bit out of their mind
bloody & kinky likes:
• weapons as sex toys (and any blood that comes with)
• gun kink
• knives and blade kink
• threat (as foreplay? Yes please!)
• consensual murder kink with immortal characters
• lover who can kill you (but probably won't)
DNW expansions
○ permanent named character death
○ no-capes or mundane AU (BDSM verse, daemons, Soulmate AUs etc are fine). I love adding more weird, but not taking away the weird aspects of a canon. So if you want your
○ scat, vomit, watersports (in sex; in non sexual situations this is fine)
○ vore
○ A/B/O (yes, I do have a lot of A/B/O bookmarked, no shade, it can be great. But I go through phases, and I think The Witcher might have permanently raised the bar so high I can't go back.)
○ violent non-con is a DNW. However, dub-con, sex pollen, bad ideas etc is fabulous
Dub/non con to the level of sex pollen/alcohol/aliens/tentacles/magic/truth serum etc made us do it is fine. Something (or someone) makes X violate Y is also very welcome, and other variations where both parties are being non-conned. The aftermath of a sex pollen/aliens/tentacles/magic/truth serum is an amazing variant on the theme. Rape aftermath or rape recovery fic of all kinds is welcome.
○ underage grooming by an adult of a child, either sexual or mind fuckery, seduce to the dark side etc. (manipulation and grooming of an adult is okay. Also okay if it's two teenagers etc. Teenage Tom Riddle and Teenage/child Harry? Sure; Adult Riddle/Voldemort and child Harry might be a nope.)
○ Christmas or Easter fic (yule, Hanukkah, winter festival etc are fine; just not fluffy fic about Christian festivals) - staying in the main list because otherwise I forget to put it back in for Yuletide, I know I probably didn't DNW Christmas in whatever exchange you're looking at this list for. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
○ social humiliation (both consensual or non-consensual; embarrassment humour, or punchlines where someone not knowing what's going on is the point)
○ lack of communication leading to silly misunderstandings
○ mistaken identity shenanigans (okay to consensually play with civilian vs cape IDs in Batman etc, but not if only one party knows who the other is. So Bruce approaching Superman is fine if Clark knows Bruce is Batman, but not if Bruce is trying to ‘trick’ him)
○ spousal abuse (especially controlling outside relationships or jobs) but okay if it gets addressed and there's hope for escape, or as background characterisation.
Spousal abuse expansion: I'm okay with bad idea relationships, power imbalance, and dub con elements. I love a lot of those. Especially if it's two terrible people being complicated together; I love murder husbands who fuck with knives and threats and their crimes between them. Villain/anti-hero pairs, villain/hero-who-has-bad-sense-of-self-preservation etc as well. If a villain and a hero have a long term fighting to fucking thing, that's okay; if a villain kidnaps the hero to brainwash them into believing their hero friends won't take them back, however, I'm not good. (Or the hero doing the same 'for their own good' and going for psychological harm.) Violence is okay, but coercion and emotional abuse probably isn't.
I've got a few triggers that I'd prefer not be dealt with in a way which doesn't allow for escape/hope. Partner or spousal abuse background or something which gets addressed or has a happy ending, I'm okay. Emotional or verbal abuse in the flavour of "you're so useless/poor/ill/pathetic etc that you're lucky you have me, because no one else could possibly even like you" might not be. Hard Nopes are spousal abuse which involves controlling someone's access to friends, family, support networks, or controlling finances - I'd rather just read the aftermath of escape there. Someone getting (especially being pressured into) a tattoo of a partner's face or name. Someone getting babytrapped, or talk of babytrapping someone (who can get pregnant). As part of a very consensual breeding kink, especially if the bred partner can't get pregnant, I'm okay.
Art DNW: trypophobia triggers. Regular and patterned holes are okay (think beehive), but not irregular small holes (think Lotus pods, or *brrrr* Suriname Toads). Big holes, black holes, sink holes etc are okay.
If you came here from kitchen sink bingo, welcome! Please feel free to treat any solo character nominations (in this case, specifically John Sheppard and Vala Mal Doran, but also previously requested solo character) as little black dress characters. They look good on anyone (or anyone's floor). I am happy seeing them shipped with anyone, with any level of romance, asexuality, monsterfucking, consent etc. Including crossover characters.

One fic with a sadist giving his sub a nipple piercing, however, has lived rent free in my head since 2006; a different fic with a sub specifically asking a dom for a permanent knife mark has hung around since 2011.
○ possessive dom consensually lending out sub, but being a bit of a control freak about it, or directing it, or watching. Sub being greedy or bratty or overwhelmed by the lending is awesome.
○ possessive reunions where the sub loves it, and the dom goes a bit out of their mind
bloody & kinky likes:
• weapons as sex toys (and any blood that comes with)
• gun kink
• knives and blade kink
• threat (as foreplay? Yes please!)
• consensual murder kink with immortal characters
• lover who can kill you (but probably won't)
DNW expansions
○ permanent named character death
○ no-capes or mundane AU (BDSM verse, daemons, Soulmate AUs etc are fine). I love adding more weird, but not taking away the weird aspects of a canon. So if you want your
○ scat, vomit, watersports (in sex; in non sexual situations this is fine)
○ vore
○ A/B/O (yes, I do have a lot of A/B/O bookmarked, no shade, it can be great. But I go through phases, and I think The Witcher might have permanently raised the bar so high I can't go back.)
○ violent non-con is a DNW. However, dub-con, sex pollen, bad ideas etc is fabulous
Dub/non con to the level of sex pollen/alcohol/aliens/tentacles/magic/truth serum etc made us do it is fine. Something (or someone) makes X violate Y is also very welcome, and other variations where both parties are being non-conned. The aftermath of a sex pollen/aliens/tentacles/magic/truth serum is an amazing variant on the theme. Rape aftermath or rape recovery fic of all kinds is welcome.
○ underage grooming by an adult of a child, either sexual or mind fuckery, seduce to the dark side etc. (manipulation and grooming of an adult is okay. Also okay if it's two teenagers etc. Teenage Tom Riddle and Teenage/child Harry? Sure; Adult Riddle/Voldemort and child Harry might be a nope.)
○ Christmas or Easter fic (yule, Hanukkah, winter festival etc are fine; just not fluffy fic about Christian festivals) - staying in the main list because otherwise I forget to put it back in for Yuletide, I know I probably didn't DNW Christmas in whatever exchange you're looking at this list for. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
○ social humiliation (both consensual or non-consensual; embarrassment humour, or punchlines where someone not knowing what's going on is the point)
○ lack of communication leading to silly misunderstandings
○ mistaken identity shenanigans (okay to consensually play with civilian vs cape IDs in Batman etc, but not if only one party knows who the other is. So Bruce approaching Superman is fine if Clark knows Bruce is Batman, but not if Bruce is trying to ‘trick’ him)
○ spousal abuse (especially controlling outside relationships or jobs) but okay if it gets addressed and there's hope for escape, or as background characterisation.
Spousal abuse expansion: I'm okay with bad idea relationships, power imbalance, and dub con elements. I love a lot of those. Especially if it's two terrible people being complicated together; I love murder husbands who fuck with knives and threats and their crimes between them. Villain/anti-hero pairs, villain/hero-who-has-bad-sense-of-self-preservation etc as well. If a villain and a hero have a long term fighting to fucking thing, that's okay; if a villain kidnaps the hero to brainwash them into believing their hero friends won't take them back, however, I'm not good. (Or the hero doing the same 'for their own good' and going for psychological harm.) Violence is okay, but coercion and emotional abuse probably isn't.
I've got a few triggers that I'd prefer not be dealt with in a way which doesn't allow for escape/hope. Partner or spousal abuse background or something which gets addressed or has a happy ending, I'm okay. Emotional or verbal abuse in the flavour of "you're so useless/poor/ill/pathetic etc that you're lucky you have me, because no one else could possibly even like you" might not be. Hard Nopes are spousal abuse which involves controlling someone's access to friends, family, support networks, or controlling finances - I'd rather just read the aftermath of escape there. Someone getting (especially being pressured into) a tattoo of a partner's face or name. Someone getting babytrapped, or talk of babytrapping someone (who can get pregnant). As part of a very consensual breeding kink, especially if the bred partner can't get pregnant, I'm okay.
Art DNW: trypophobia triggers. Regular and patterned holes are okay (think beehive), but not irregular small holes (think Lotus pods, or *brrrr* Suriname Toads). Big holes, black holes, sink holes etc are okay.
