measured_wordsDear YT author,
Thanks, first of all, for writing! That is really the most important thing, and I will be delighted with whatever I wind up getting. Also I am very okay with treats in any format should anyone be interested in writing them for me :)
Generally speaking, I like stories that tell me a little bit more about the characters or the world they live in. I am a historian and an anthropology person, so I love to understand how things came to be - I like to ask questions. Sometimes canon gives you little crumbs to follow and you can play connect the dots and fill in the missing picture. Sometimes it doesn't, and it can be fun to take what is known about the canon world and invent whole cloth an explanation that fits those rules. Even canons that are very tight often leave questions hanging about their details, like 'hang on, who is making all these magical weapons' or 'who exactly is paying for this millenia old conflict?' I'm happy to have an exploration of a question that doesn't have a clear resolution.
I like stories with plot - with adventure, intrigue, and wacky hijinks/crack. I also like stories that are more focused on character exploration – I don't need action if I have interesting introspection. I like both insider and outsider PoV stuff, and I feel like it is perfectly legit to write a story about a character that isn't from their perspective. I enjoy stories that are very emotionally intense, whether that means they are spilling over with ~feels~ or dark and unrelenting in tone – I enjoy horror, especially psychological horror, but also feel-good fluff and total cracky silliness. I am into both Crueltide and Yuleporn, so if those are your jam, please have at! I'm also open to other sub-challenges, if my requests fit the bill and you're inspired :) I am up for IF and other format shenanigans as well, including poetry.
I like porn, but I do not require it. If you have a preference for or against in whatever you wind up writing, knock yourself out, I will appreciate it. If you include porn, I prefer it to be somehow relevant to the story – either it develops character relationships, or is vital to some zany caper or what have you. I’m not a big fan of pwp, though I think porn can certainly *be* the main action, so to speak, as long as it is showing me something new about characters or their relationship. I'm really hard to squick, so don't be afraid to show me your kinks! More than anything, when it comes (heh) to porn I want to be able to believe that the sex I'm reading is in character for whoever I'm reading about – not necessarily that it is something they want, but that the reactions I'm reading are true to whoever is having them, if that makes any sense.
If you are looking to find out more about me, I have a somewhat chaotic tumblr, and a neglected rambling personal journal. I am also Measured_Words on AO3 :) I may make occasional forays into the discord(s) as Elanya, but no promises.
(I'll get this formatted better, but for now....)
ロード・エルメロイⅡ世の事件簿 - 三田誠 | Lord El-Melloi II Case Files - Sanda Makoto
Characters: Any
I am happy to have any single characters or combinations from among the nominated.
Pairings wise (from the nominated), I like Waver/Melvin and Reins/Grey. I do NOT want to see Waver paired with Reines, Grey, or any of his students.
I enjoy a lot of things about this series and these characters and would be happy to have more of the same, whether that's case fic (ambitious!), seeing more of Waver in the classroom, more shopping and snack time with the girls, or an exploration about what Melvin's daily life is like. I like Waver's relationships with all of the others, and also, his relationship with Iskander('s memory) as an adult. Note: the only other bits of the Fate franchise I have seen are Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night, and I've read parts of some of the Case Files light novels.
Ancient British Stones
Characters: Any
So, I am not deep into the fandom lore on this one, BUT, an *am* an archaeologist and I would love to see what kind of stories people have to tell about these stones! Feel free to do a deep dive into the experience over time of one or two, to explore associations between them (and I don't know what these may be - a passing of the torch between sites over time? Contemporary rivals? Do they come from the same sources? Was there only one bedrock?) - but this seems like the kind of fandom with the potential to learn interesting things! If you would like to take the POV of the stones then feel free, but don't feel limited to it, as long as a story is *about* an ancient British stone in some way, I will be thrilled :) Likewise, I'm open to any tone here, from Very Serious to utter... crack? ;)
Changeling: the Dreaming
Characters: (None nominated)
I have played a lot of this game, and I find it is a game that has a huge potential range of themes and moods, and I love all the different layers you can pack into everything. I also like all the things characters have to balance in their lives between mortal and fae lives, allegiances and other expectations. I'm up for pretty much anything here :)
Katmai National Park Bearcams - explore.org
Characters: Any
DNW: Bears PWP, or bears... bestiality? Like, either everyone involved in sex is an actual bear, or no one is, please! I do not need graphic descriptions of bear sex.
I am happy to have any single characters or combinations from among the nominated.
Bears! I just love them. I have been an avid cam watcher for the past few years, and was a casual observer before that. If you are someone who was drawn in by Fat Bear Week, no worries, I'm pretty chill to write for and I will not be mad if you, like, decide 747 and 856 are bestest friends or something.
For this prompt - bring on the Bear AUs! Coffeeeshop? Academia? Office? Fantasy? Bears... in Space?
If AUS aren't your thing that fine! I am honestly happy for any kind of bears! Give me something we didn't see on cam, like a cute family scene, or a focus on a day in he life of a particular bear. I did nominate 812 even though we didn't see him this year - what's he been up to? We also have Holly and 747 - wanna tell me what was going on with the ballot stuffing? Holly and Grazer: supermoms? Do 164 and 821 make up and play?
신입사관 구해령 | Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung (TV)
Characters: Any
I am happy to have any single characters or combinations from among the nominated. I don't have any preferred pairings here or ones I don't like so - go nuts!
There are so many great stories and relationships in this show, and if you want to explore any of them, please do, whether that is the romances, the friendships, the co-workers, whatever! Please feel free to include other characters. I'm happy to have things set in the past, especially when it comes to Goo Jae-kyeong and Mo-hwa, but I'm interested in the youths of an of the other folks as well (the princes as kids, Yi Jin and Min U-won's friendship when they were younger, Hae-ryung adapting to life in Qing with her 'brother', Sam-bo when he is thrust into the role as baby Dowon's keeper, or even Min Ik-Pyeong when he was still idealistic). If you want to do post-series stuff, I'm all for that as well - does Song Sa-hui have trouble getting a job as a teacher? How do Dowon's travels go, really? Do he and Hae-ryung ever actually get married? Do they stay together? Is either one of them better off with someone else? and...who? Does Min U-won seriously consider conversion? I really enjoyed how this show balanced drama and comedy, and I'd he happy for a story in either tone.
