Real life about me behind the cut. Skip if you want! )

I originally set up a Dreamwidth account because it seemed like a lot of the old LJ-style fandom stuff moved here. I'm still trying to get the hang of the platform mostly because I am out of practice with blogging. Please bare with me as I try to get back in the swing of things.

I tend to be a bit of a fandom-hopper. I follow the dopamine, lol. I do have a few standards that I tend to drift back to like the MCU and Game of Thrones. I was once always comfortable in the Harry Potter fandom, but I absolutely do not agree with the author's stances on trans rights and find myself avoiding it more often than not. I may one day post my very complicated feelings on HP, but that's a whole other can of worms.

[archiveofourown.org profile] Meilan_Firaga is where you'll find my fanfic and one or two original works.

If you need my date of birth for age verification or some other reason it is March 22, 1988.

If you're looking for information about my fic/art preferences for an exchange, event, or just because that can be found HERE. It probably needs an update (perpetually, lol).

I have been almost completely absent from fandom since 2023. Honestly, my fandom participation has been declining for even longer than that. Some of that is just life--job stress, social life, relationship--but there are definitely other contributing factors. My anxiety is a big one. I kinda just...fell off the face of the earth. Stopped checking in on Discord, stopped posting any of my own work, and stopped commenting on the works of others. I had (have?) the best kind of fandom friends, and I just disappeared on them. Every time I think about going back I have this little voice in my head screaming that no one will want to hear from me or have me in their fandom spaces after I just abandoned them without warning.

Now, I am 100% aware that kind of thinking is just my mental illness talking, but logic and mental health don't always play nicely together. So, I've decided to make it a personal goal to reconnect with fandom in the coming year. In the interest of working with my brain instead of against it, I'm not putting a whole lot of restrictions or guidelines on what "reconnecting" means. I just want to be present and enjoy fandom again.

Most of the time I do need some kind of external/additional motivator tied to things. Gotta make my ADHD think it's a challenge or there's no dopamine in it, lol. Luckily, [community profile] goals_on_dw is running a super cool "Fannish 50 in 2025" challenge. The goal is to make 50 fandom related posts in 2025. Beyond making sure they deal with fandom, there is no restriction on the type of post. It could be a top ten list or a post linking to a 100k word fanfic. Lots of possibility for variety, which I'm hoping will keep me from feeling like it's a chore. I'll be using this post as a sort of masterlist/index of my fifty fandom related posts throughout the year.

I'm very excited to get back into something that's brought me joy for so much of my life. Wish me luck!

Tiny update because I don't want everyone thinking that I was super active for like a week and a half and then gave up. I'm still thinking about DW and fandom basically every day (and trying not to beat myself up for every day I don't post/comment/interact), but these last couple weeks have been extra tough. Work is stressful, but that's honestly a good stress right now because it's coming from an increase in responsibility that I wanted and more freedom to be creative. The problem is that when work stress ends for the day, state-of-the-world stress is still right there and waiting to shank me in the kidney. 

I'm neurodivergent. Part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Non-Christian. Every person in my social circle fits one or more of those descriptors. I have trans friends and trans family. And we all live in the US. 

So, I'm gonna need a little grace. I'm no longer just recalibrating my day-to-day life to account for additional work responsibilities. I have to recalibrate my entire life for survival. I have to figure out how to cling to my sanity. I'm trying to figure out how to be kind to myself as I make all this adjustments for myself to be able to move forward.

And I am 100% going to pop a blood vessel if I have to tell one more person that being autistic doesn't make you throw a nazi salute. Being a nazi does.

[community profile] creativegolf is a low-pressure fanworks challenge based on 9 Card Golf. Put simply, the goal is to create one fanwork for each prompt and to tie the fills for each column together in some way. You can check out the full rules for what counts as a fill, how columns can be tied together, and how scores are calculated here. There is no deadline, which I'm hoping will be helpful for me as I try to ease my way back into creating fanworks. Below is my prompt table for this challenge as well as my current score and a masterlist below the cut where I'll be linking each of my fills.

Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
1. Bibliomancy 1. the meaning of expensive taste1. Mercury
2. Reincarnation / Meet in every life 2. Clairvoyant / seeing the future 2. a moment like this
3. Amethyst3. you belong with me3. Space / scifi AU

Current Score:

I may be cheating a little bit to make this work for me and my brain, but I'm combining the first two challenges for [community profile] snowflake_challenge into one post and also using it as my first Fannish 50 entry for 2025.

Snowflake Challenge #1 - Update your fandom information. 
I completed this one on January 1st and updated the Snowflake Challenge community on that day, but I never actually posted about it here. I did a full overhaul of my profile both on here and at [archiveofourown.org profile] Meilan_Firaga on AO3. I also did a big edit on my DW pinned intro post. There are still probably some things that could use an update (looking right at you, gift preferences post), but I'm happy with how these three places reflect my current fandom involvement now.

Snowflake Challenge #2 - In your own space, talk about your fannish origin story.
This is the part that I'm using for Fannish 50 today as well. I think a lot about how I got involved in fandom, but I've never actually sat and wrote it all down before. I'm closer to 40 than 30 these days, and I don't think I realized just how long of a history I have with fandom before both on my own and as a member of online communities. This is bound to get wordy, so for the sake of saving everyone's Reading Page I've put it all behind the cut below.

Happy New Year!

I'm sitting in my partner's old bedroom at his mother's home as I write this, gearing up to drive back to Ohio tomorrow. It's hard to believe that 2025 is already here. I could swear that October was just yesterday. Since it is here, though, I want to set my intentions for the year in writing so I have something to refer back to when my swiss cheese memory fails me.

One of the big goals that I want to accomplish this year is to reconnect with fandom, and I spent the biggest chunk of December trying to figure out how I want to go about that. I think, for the most part, the way I'm going to do it will be to make time to participate in fandom every day. Even if I'm just leaving a heart react on someone's meme, I want to engage with something in fandom every day if I'm going to succeed at reviving this part of my life. For me, part of the problem is that I tend to go full tilt, sign up for too much, and then freeze up when I can't accomplish the massive, lofty goals that I've set for myself. With that in mind, I've set myself smaller fandom goals in the hopes that they will be more achievable.

My Five Fandom Goals for 2025
  1. Fannish50 - Make 50 fandom-related posts in a year. My master post for this challenge is here.
  2. Finish In Bitter Winter's Hands - This Game of Thrones Sansa/Tormund WIP has become some sort of specter that haunts me. I love this story. I've gotten incredible reviews on it, but now I'm so afraid of disappointing the readers that I freeze up. It's time to get it done and out there so I can stop fretting over it. The outline is only a dozen chapters. If I can knock out one a month I'll be sitting pretty on this project.
  3. Write and post fic monthly - Whether it's a 100-word drabble or something more substantial, I just want to start putting my work out there again. I'd like to be at a point to do it weekly, but I don't want to impose that requirement on myself and then fall to pieces when I have a busy week and don't have time.
  4. Complete 5 challenges - I'm setting no requirements as to the type of challenge. It can be any 5 fandom-related challenges.
  5. Find a new Harry Potter - My feelings on HP are, like many people my age, immensely complex. Maybe one day I'll do a nice long post about it. The important thing is that I vehemently disagree with the author's stances on trans rights, and I no longer want to have HP as a bread-and-butter fandom. For the longest time HP was the fandom I could always write for. Give me almost any pairing and I can hammer out a fic in very little time. I need to get to that point with another fandom, and I don't know which one I'll end up going with.

I mentioned in a previous post that I had a nasty habit of signing up for exchanges and overwhelming myself in years previous. I still want to make sure I'm avoiding that sort of scenario, but I have signed up for two challenge events besides Fannish50 to try and give myself a little nudge. Neither event is an exchange, which means no one will be hurt if I need to back off. Further info behind the cuts below!

I'm so excited to get started!
meilan_firaga: (Default)
I think part of the reason I got so bogged down and overwhelmed when I was last active in fandom was because I kept signing up for exchanges.

Just this week I caught myself looking over a couple of upcoming ones and thinking "maybe I should sign up" once again. I think part of the reason I do it is that it applies pressure. That whole ADHD trick of being productive only at the last minute. But I don't want to do that. I don't do good work when I do that, and I want to be able to write from my WIPs or the ideas in my writing journal instead of frantically trying to hammer out something for someone else's idea. 

So, I'm not going to sign up for a bunch of exchanges and ultimately disappoint both myself and whatever poor soul get stuck with me. I am going to have to find a way to deal with the little itch to apply, though. I was thinking maybe I could still look at the tag sets when they go live and then do a post on here with which ones I'd choose to write for and why they catch my interest. Or something. Could be an idea I can use for Fannish 50 next year as well.

I've been basically gone from DW and fandom in general for a while, so I thought a life update might be a good idea. Everything's under a cut so I don't take up too much Reading Page space. :)

Thank you so much for your interest in creating for me! I'm notoriously easy to please, so don't stress yourself too much. I want you to have as much fun writing for me as I'm going to have reading what you've written. For the most part I don't have prompts on here just because I'm open to reading most things.

I don't actually think I have anyone that gets their information about my fics on DW, but just in case I figure it can't hurt to make a post. :) I'm on the auction block for this year's Marvel Trumps Hate event!

I’ve got two auctions on offer. The first is for a five-pack of romantic Darcy Lewis one shots featuring our favorite girl paired with the MCU person (or persons, there are five one-shots to mix and match!) of the winners choosing. Each fic will be 1k words at the very least and are likely to go a bit over if I’m particularly inspired. And the second is for a 5k word fic (minimum) starring the winner’s choice of one of the ten pairings I have on offer. Six of those pairings also involve Darcy.

Even if you’re not interested in what I have to offer, be sure to check out all of the many AMAZING creators offering their time and talents for some great causes. There are so many wonderful things to choose from, and it’s all for a good cause!

Dear Fantastic Creator,

Hello! I want you to know that I completely adore you for participating in this exchange and I'm likely to be thrilled with anything and everything you come up with for me. <3 <3 I'm especially appreciative your patience while I was running so behind getting my letter all finished up. I signed up for both Tricks and Treats for this exchange, and I am genuinely excited at the prospect of receiving either. My little fandom specific areas down below don't have a lot (or anything in some cases) for the Trick aspect. This is not because I don't want Tricks, but because I'm genuinely open for all varieties of spooky stuff! As long as you don't hit my DNWs I'll probably love whatever nice little bits of horror that you come up with.

{still working}

Dear Screen Exchange Creator,

Hi!!! Thank you for signing up for this exchange, and I'm so sorry that you're stuck with me. :p I love to read, and I'm not hard to please with fanfic, but that also comes with a side of me tending to be vague when I'm making requests. Some pairings I'm much more attached to than others, but I tried to include alternate pairings because I know not everyone shares my OTPs. I like fluff and smut. Giving me glimpses of functional, happy relationships is always a good road to take. I'm also a big fan of the "families of choice" ideology, so if you're not up for ship fic you can always take the gen family fluff route.

DO NOT WANT:
A/B/O
incest
blood play
pedophilia
second person POV and/or Character/Reader fic


Marvel Cinematic Universe
The easiest way to always make me happy in the MCU is to give me fun with Darcy Lewis. I know she's a bit character, but between Kat Dennings and the rapid-fire millennial attitude that she gave us I absolutely adore her. I'm heavily in the "Darcy Lewis, Fandom Bicycle" camp, so you can't really go wrong with whatever pairing you choose to put her in. Actually, I'm fairly certain I've read and enjoyed fic with her paired with every conceivable person in the MCU. Even the guy playing Galaga on the helicarrier in the first Avengers movie. There's a surprising number of fics with that kid.

I have seen Infinity War (multiple times), so you don't have to worry about hitting me with spoilers. However, I'm not looking for the kind of angst that I know Infinity War inspires. I don't need that heavy of a plot or an explanation for how it's all resolved. Give me stuff that happens before that movie or jump way ahead and give me things after it's all put to rights and everyone's happy (ish) again.

Darcy Lewis/Stephen Strange
This right here? This is the OTP. I crave Darcy with Doctor Strange. They both have snark and pop culture references for days. Plus, there's an endless supply of magician/wizard/sorcerer names that Darcy could call him by. I'm big on the idea of Darcy folding him into her seemingly endless group of people she takes care of. Whether that means she's still working with scientists or Avengers or has just switched to interning for Masters of the Mystic Arts is entirely up to you. I like her surprising him because Stephen always thinks he's the smartest guy in the room and Darcy is so used to that schtick that she's not having any of it. Basically anything you give me with these two is going to be gold.

Darcy Lewis/Peter Quill
Peter has a lot of music to catch up on, and I think Darcy is the perfect person to do that catching up. There's so much potential for snark and humor here, and I am all about it. 

Darcy Lewis/Thor and Darcy Lewis & Thor
Whether they are the best of bros, aromantic fuckbuddies, or the greatest romance of all time, I love Darcy and Thor. I like the idea of the two of them taking a full on bro spa day where they chill out in fuzzy bathrobes, trade hair grooming tips, and binge watch Black Sails. I like the idea of them having lots of sweaty sex. I like the idea of Thor wanting her to be his lady-love for the remainder of her too-short mortal life. You really can't go wrong with these two together for me no matter what the dynamic is between them.

Peter Parker & Shuri, Peter Parker & Tony Stark
Like about 90% of the internet, I have a desperate need to see Peter Parker and Princess Shuri get together to geek out and make everyone's life a living hell--particularly Tony and T-Challa. Just imagine all the trouble they could get into! The fun they could have! The gray hairs they would cause! Straight humor and crack is the way to go.

The Guardians of the Galaxy
I once read a really great fic that had all of the Guardians in a poly relationship together. The great and important thing was that it wasn't a relationship built on sex. It involved all different kinds of love and affection, and seeing that play out was completely wonderful. I know that's kind of a heavy thing to consider and that not everyone wants to try and sort out that much relationship dynamic. I am just as happy with Peter/Gamora and the antics and interactions of the group as a whole. They are the very definition of a found family, and I love seeing that built upon.

Big Bang Theory
Not gonna lie, this show totally lost me around the time Amy Farrah Fowler became a serious love interest for Sheldon instead of just a friend that agreed to help keep people off his back. Their relationship started in the best kind of way with her being a fantastic character who knew she didn't need a relationship to be fulfilled, and then went down a rabbit hole I'm really not okay with. In the early seasons, the most healthy and stable relationship in the whole thing is honestly Sheldon's relationship with Penny. The Sheldon we got in the pilot is not the caricature we ended up with, and I'm not okay with it. So, yeah. Sheldon/Penny. Love them. Prefer them. Fix it, please. LOL. My favorite Sheldon/Penny fic out there is The Paladin Protocol by SpaceAnJL if you need a little insight into the type of relationship dynamic I'm looking for (I'm also of the opinion that everyone needs to read that fic). Happy, fluffy, and snarky is the way to go. If you aren't here to write BBT fanfic for me, go read that fic anyway. It's fantastic.

 Dear Screen Exchange Drabble Creator,

Hi! Thanks for signing up for this great little exchange. I'm so sorry you've been signed up to write for me. :p I'm one of those people that just loves to read in general, so I'm actually not hard to please in exchanges. Unfortunately, that also means that I tend to be pretty vague when it comes to prompts and suggestions. Since these are drabbles I even made an effort to go more short and sweet than usual. The big thing here is that I really want happy stuff. Short fics full of angst just make me sad with no payoff, and I'd rather avoid it for this exchange.

Marvel Cinematic Universe
With Infinity War so close on the horizon, I am all about Marvel right now. I'm not exactly up to date on the television shows that go along with, but I've seen every movie in the MCU at least twice. Most of them I've seen an embarrassingly larger number of times. I may or may not be able to quote Doctor Strange from start to finish. I'm not a huge fan of Tony/Steve and I really don't like Thor/Loki (or any incest ship) or Tony/Peter Parker. Other than that, your options are pretty much fair game. If you really want to get high marks, go for something involving Stephen Strange, Darcy Lewis, or some combination of the two. They're one of my favorite crack pairings, but even separate I adore them both. Snark and pop culture references are my jam.

Oh, and the "Hair Brushing" tag is totally because I read it and briefly envisioned Darcy and Thor trading grooming tips in front of the television while wearing fuzzy bathrobes and having a bro-spa-day. Feel free to run with that. XD

Big Bang Theory
Not gonna lie, this show totally lost me around the time Amy Farrah Fowler became a serious love interest for Sheldon instead of just a friend that agreed to help keep people off his back. Their relationship started in the best kind of way with her being a fantastic character who knew she didn't need a relationship to be fulfilled, and then went down a rabbit hole I'm really not okay with. In the early seasons, the most healthy and stable relationship in the whole thing is honestly Sheldon's relationship with Penny. The Sheldon we got in the pilot is not the caricature we ended up with, and I'm not okay with it. So, yeah. Sheldon/Penny. Love them. Prefer them. Fix it, please. LOL. My favorite Sheldon/Penny fic out there is The Paladin Protocol by SpaceAnJL if you need a little insight into the type of relationship dynamic I'm looking for. Happy, fluffy, and snarky is the way to go. If you aren't here to write BBT fanfic for me, go read that fic anyway. It's fantastic.

Pacific Rim
So, I walked out of the theater after Pacific Rim: Uprising basically screaming about all the amazing poly possibilities that movie left us open for. Nate & Jake having to deal with Jules just looking at them and going "I'm not picking, both of you drop your pants" is an A+ thing. So are more moments like the kiss on the cheek for each of them followed by a "well, that's confusing" that we got in the movie itself. I just want a happy poly triad doing happy poly triad things. And maybe somebody yelling at Jake for leaving ice cream out on the counter because I'm still freaking out about melted ice cream all over the damn base.

IF ALL ELSE FAILS

If you're super stuck and you don't know what to do, you can always send me an anon message on tumblr. I'm part of a couple of exchanges right, now, so as long as you aren't too specific you won't give away any secrets. :)

Thank you so much! I look forward to reading your wonderful work!

Dear Creator,

Hi! Welcome to my impulse-decision sign-up for Night on Fic Mountain! I was not following this exchange at all. I just stumbled upon it and signed up out of the blue, so I admit that I haven't put a whole lot of thought into what I want here. Luckily, I'm actually pretty easy to please. I just like reading, and as long as you don't hit on my Do Not Wants we'll be just fine.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
I am OBSESSED with this movie. I love that it's dark and gritty. I love the humor interspersed throughout. I love the potential for both uplifting fluff and terrifying horror that this world can provide. If you want to write that rapid-fire exchange of humor that is entirely Guy Ritchie's style, I'm here for it. If you want to go down the rabbit hole of the weird, I'm here for it. This is where I'm okay with any of the usual archive warnings. If you've got the urge to write some dark and twisted, I am your reader. I promise you're not going to offend me. I will be thrilled with as explicit and as gruesome as you want to be.

Arthur/Mage
These two are where I expect the most out of that particular brand of humor we got in the movie. Their relationship is great, and I'd love to see it explored. Give me banter in the wilderness or in Camelot. Give me missing scenes between the two of them. Give me the start of a genuine relationship where neither are inclined to take any shit from the other. Give me just more of these two doing their thing. I'm interested in the Mage is Guinevere, but you're going to need to convince me. Give me reasons and not just putting her in that role because it's convenient.

Alternatively, magic can have strange effects on a person, and I like to think that one of those effects is a massive increase in the libido. Surely the Mage can work out an arrangement with the king to get that little issue taken care of.

Arthur/Excalibur
What side effects does the sword have on its bearer? Once it shows you what you need to see, what does it demand in return? Does it continue to invade waking thoughts and dreams? Does it demand anything?

Arthur/Syrens
What other prices might the Syrens accept to grant a king some of their power? Or perhaps to agree not to grant their power to another? We know from the movie that Arthur is willing to think outside the box and look for what he needs in a variety of different places. Scruples or chastity aren't necessarily a concern. Sex pacts are not only on the table but completely encouraged.

Catia/Syrens
So, this is admittedly one of those rare times when my brain saw something and latched onto it for the sheer horror it could bring about. Imagine, if you will, that the loved ones killed and given to the Syrens are brought back as an underwater form of the undead--no longer needing to breathe and able to stay in the depths where they're put. Because sea witches certainly have sexual needs. 


Black Panther
Not gonna lie, I'm a little wary of diving head first into Black Panther fic. The movie was perfection. From a writing standpoint, I'm afraid of fucking up. From a reading standpoint? I worry that it won't capture the same wonder that I felt in that theater. Also, there's a lot of social issues to be mindful of. This is the most specific request I have. I'm not looking for romance. I don't even really want a super heavy plot. I want platonic interactions between Shuri, T'Challa, and Bucky as they work to break through his brainwashing. Build up that relationship for me so I can see how we got to the friendly, familiar interaction between Bucky and Shuri in the after credits scene on the movie, and please don't turn any of it into flirting.


Wolverine
Break my heart. Seriously, there ain't much left of a heart for me after seeing Logan anyway, lol. I want the missing scenes from the road trip. Give me Laura bonding with Charles and Logan trying to make sense of it. I want to see Logan and Charles watching Laura sleep and talking about what she could turn out to be. Heartfelt and bittersweet is the name of the game. Maybe somewhere along the way they stumbled on a little county fair and Charles insisted that Laura get to be a child long enough to eat cotton candy and play a game. Maybe they stopped at a diner because they found out she'd never had a milkshake. Perhaps just Laura reminiscing on all those incidents that made those two men so important to her in such a short time. Little things that are made all the more painful by the awareness of what followed. I'm a glutton for punishment on this one.


IF ALL ELSE FAILS

If you're super stuck and you don't know what to do, you can always send me an anon message on tumblr. I'm part of several exchanges right now, and I signed up for most of the same fandoms in all of them so as long as you aren't too specific you won't give away any secrets. :)

Thank you so much! I look forward to reading your wonderful work!

 Me on AO3

Hello! First off, thank you so much for putting up with me and my vague-prompting tendencies. I'm pretty easy to please, so even if you only follow the bare-bones of Character/Relationship and Additional Tags provided through the AO3 sign-up I promise I'll probably be happy. I do have a couple of squicks and things that I'm just not interested in for this exchange. I made sure to put most of them in the Optional box, but just in case I'm going to re-iterate those here.

Squicks / Do Not Want:
A/B/O
Incest 
Blood play
Pedophilia 
Second person POV & Character/Reader fic
Non-happy endings (**there is an exception to this for King Arthur, details below)

That's it. Seriously, there's a whole lot that I'm willing to read and enjoy. The most important thing for me in this fest is going to be the happy ending. With only a thousand words required, I'd just rather end it with a smile on my face. I love poly smut, but I'm also just as happy with general fluff. You could give me a fic that's all about the threesome/moresome cuddling on the couch and debating what to pick to watch on Netflix and I'll probably love it.

Have a few general prompts to get the inspiration going! By all means, you don't have to use these but I'm trying to keep from being super vague.

Prompts / Inspiration:
  • Person A looking at Persons B & C (&D, etc. - moresomes are great) and telling them that everyone should just be naked right this moment.
  • Roses are red, violets are blue...
  • Nightly sleeping arrangements take some getting used to.

And, of course, a bit on each of the fandoms and relationships I've requested.

Game of Thrones
I am a huge fan of GoT modern AUs. Whether you're picking up the characters and making them work in our world or adapting Westeros to a modern era, I will read that shit and love it. My current favorite is a SanSan romance set in the 1950s that is absolutely wonderful. So, if you want to toss these characters in a world more like our own, I will be all about that. That being said, I do enjoy a good canon-verse fic. I don't actively seek them out very much, but I will read them and be happy about it if that's what floats your boat to write. :)

Khal Drogo/Daenerys Targaryen/Yara Greyjoy
This little combo has been stuck in my head since we got that excellent little flirty exchange between Yara and Dany in the throne room of Meereen. I can't imagine Yara putting up with Drogo's hyper-masculine possessive bullshit, but I can totally see the two of them being best bros who are happy to put Dany in the middle and have a good time. 'What Dany wants, Dany gets' is also a good track for this to take. She wants them both and neither of them want to leave so they suck it up and make it work. 

Podrick Payne/Arya Stark/Gendry Waters
Oh, look. It's the trio of 'adorably clueless about relationships.' XD I love how naive these three can be in terms of feelings, and capitalizing on that is always the way to go. Smut or fluff is good here. I threw a lot of tags on this one in the sign-up for different routes you could take. "Got Drunk and Woke Up in a Polygamous Marriage," "It Starts As An Experiment But Then Everyone Develops Real Feelings for Each Other," and "Tripped and Fell on Two Different People's Dicks at Once" are my favorites for these guys.

Pacific Rim (movies)
So, I walked out of the theater after Pacific Rim: Uprising basically screaming about all the amazing poly possibilities that movie left us open for. The only big don't for this fandom is please don't give me smut for Amara/Jinhai/Vik. I'd love to see the three of them figuring things out for how to develop their relationship and some cute teenage fluff, but I'm not ready for the kids getting it on. Smut for any of the other relationships I listed is totally fair game, though!

Nate & Jake having to deal with Jules just looking at them and going "I'm not picking, both of you drop your pants" is also an A+ thing.

Marvel Cinematic Universe
Four words: Darcy Lewis, fandom bicycle. My former roommate told me this phrase one day in our kitchen and when she explained it I laughed for about twenty minutes. Fandom bicycle. Everyone gets a ride. That's pretty much my feelings on MCU fanfic in a nutshell, lol. I love Darcy and I love seeing her paired up with just about anyone. She's got a super quirky sense of humor and a quick wit that I love to read in a fic. Plus, you know, she's played by Kat Dennings and the woman is gorgeous. I love a Darcy with confidence who keeps the common sense upper hand. I'm definitely a sucker for the "Darcy is the babysitter" trope that's built up in the fandom. Put her in a position to have to take care of some scientists and/or heroes (or villains, I'm not picky), add a healthy dose of sass, and I am pretty much guaranteed to be invested. Most importantly: I like a sexually liberated Darcy. All those fics that have her giving the attitude of "yes, I like sex but I'm having fun and you can't stop me"? Those are my jam. All those Darcy threesomes I've got listed in my relationship tags? Feel free to upgrade them to moresomes. As long as you're not breaking the incest rules, I AM SO HERE FOR IT.

I'm well aware, though, that not everyone likes Darcy. I am not the person that nominated Stephen Strange / Loki / Cloak of Levitation, but I am pretty sure whoever did is my kind of crack fic person. Give me any version of that and I will be absolutely beyond thrilled. It's quirky and weird, and right up my alley.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
So, this one is the wild card of this exchange for me. As of the time I'm writing this letter, I've never written or read any fic in this fandom. However, I am OBSESSED with this movie. The first of these is deliberately vague because I know I'll be thrilled with anything. The last two are pairings I never even considered before I saw them in the tag list, and they're a little more specific.

Arthur/Mage/Knights of the Round Table
Magic can have strange effects on a person, and I like to think that one of those effects is a massive increase in the libido. Surely she can work out an arrangement with the king and his knights so everyone is satisfied.

Arthur/Syrens
What other prices might the Syrens accept to grant a king some of their power? Or perhaps to agree not to grant their power to another? We know from the movie that Arthur is willing to think outside the box and look for what he needs in a variety of different places. Scruples or chastity aren't necessarily a concern. Sex pacts are not only on the table but completely encouraged.

Catia/Syrens**
So, this is admittedly one of those rare times when my brain saw something and latched onto it for the sheer horror it could bring about. Imagine, if you will, that the loved ones killed and given to the Syrens are brought back as an underwater form of the undead--no longer needing to breathe and able to stay in the depths where they're put. Because sea witches certainly have sexual needs. This is what all the non-consensual tags are all about. If you've got the urge to write some dark and twisted, I am your reader. As long as you don't hit the other do not wants on my list, go ahead and forego that happy ending here. I promise you're not going to offend me.


IF ALL ELSE FAILS

If you're super stuck and you don't know what to do, you can always send me an anon message on tumblr. I'm part of a couple of exchanges right, now, so as long as you aren't too specific you won't give away any secrets. :)

Thank you so much! I look forward to reading your wonderful work!
