measured_wordsDear...confectioner,
I just wanted to give some general likes/dislikes beyond what I put in the specific sections of my signup (which are repeated below). This is pretty much the same as my last year's letter, though!
I'm really interested in the dynamics of relationships - what people are bringing to the table, what do they want to get, what do they want to give, and what happens where the needs and desires of two individuals meet. Do they compliment or conflict? Do they build up or tear down? How do they resolve? I think there are lots of ways of getting at these questions as well, from throwing them into wacky hijinks to see how they execute (or not) a particular caper, to throwing them in bed and seeing what they want when they're there. So, I'm not necessarily looking for any kind of introspection in a story, I just want to know a little more about what makes these people work (or not) as a unit. I know there are some really talented artists out there, as well as writers, and I'm interested to see how these can be conveyed visually as well as textually.
I am definitely up for explicit stories for any of the requested "/" pairings! I don't have a list of specific squicks - I'm pretty open to stuff, and the delivery is really what's important. So to speak. As for kinks, I like power dynamics, negotiation, all levels of consent (enthusiastic consent, ambiguous consent, dubcon, noncon), all kinds of sex (vaginal, anal, oral, intercrural, frottage, clothed, semiclothed, public, whatever!) knifeplay, breathplay, bdsm, blood, loyalty, kissing...a million other things I'm probably not thinking of. Basically, this is me.
As far as art goes, I should also note that I am interested in a variety of body shapes/sizes/colours, and I am also interested in symbolic representation and stylized art as well as more representational perspectives, as long as the requested characters are in some way identifiable in the piece.
And now, Requests!
Original Work
Art or Fic
Crime Boss/Right Hand Man/Undercover Policeman, Disgraced King/Loyal Male Knight, Disillusioned Orc Warlord/Cast Out Human Mage, Elf Prince/Orc Princess, Half-Orc Who Doesn't Want To Follow Tradition/Human, Knight & Knight's Loyal Dog, Male Orc Seeking Redemption/Female Wood Elf High Priestess, Orc Adventurer/Elf Adventurer, Sea Witch/Female Embodiment of the Sea, The Anthropomorphization of Death/Half-Orc in Search of a Honourable Death
Basically what I am here for is things that aren't as straightforwards as they seem on the surface. I am really into complicated power dynamics, especially in sexual relationships. Some of these suggest interesting power dynamics because of the positions of the characters involved, but feel free to play around with it! I'm interesting in how social and cultural differences play into these dynamics as well, so free free to play around with that in terms of the fantasy races, and certainly don't feel bound by fantasy stereotypes!
Books of the Raksura - Martha Wells
Art or Fic
Consolation & Kethel, Consolation & Malachite, Kethel & Moon, Malachite/Pearl (Books of the Raksura)
I've read all the books and all the patreon stories, so feel free to draw on any of the resources you have access to! I found a lot of the relationships coming out of the last books really interesting and would love to see them explored. I was really intrigued by the characters from the Fell Flight and would love to see more of them learning to be people. I was also....fascinated, let's say, by how Pearl and Malachite got along so incredibly well and would love seeing hat explored in greater depth.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)
Art or Fic
Kit Fisto/Obi-Wan Kenobi (Clone Wars), Obi-Wan Kenobi/Asajj Ventress (Clone Wars), Obi-Wan Kenobi/Quinlan Vos (Clone Wars), Obi-Wan Kenobi/Satine Kryze (Clone Wars)
So, you my sense a theme here. I would like more Obi-wan. I love his relationships, especially his banter. I'd love backstory for him and Satine, or just an exploration of how he gets along with his fellow Jedi and how that could be pursued... I love his flirting with Ventress and would love to see what comes of that! Kit Fisto and Quinlan Vos are both fun - Vos makes a great foil, Fisto is just awesome in hos own right. I have read the Ventress novel so feel free to use anything from that as well.
Star Wars: Rebels
Art or Fic
Kanan Jarrus & Ahsoka Tano (Rebels) × Kanan Jarrus/Hera Syndulla (Rebels)
For Kanan and Ahsoka - I'd love to see them talking about Jedi stuff and philosophy, because I think they both have some interesting insights to offer each other there. But also just general rebellion plotting is good. For Kanan and Hera, I just love them so much, they're practically a married couple but their relationship is so backgrounded by the show, and by each other's priorities, and I really would just like to see them get a chance to spend some time focusing on that and what they mean to each other. God damn it, just let them kiss.
