General dislikes:

• Fluff
• Incest
• Infidelity where it is treated as justified or positive
• Sexual/romantic relationships between teachers and pupils
• Significant power or knowledge imbalances in romantic relationships
• Happy conflict free relationships
• The cis straight white everyman protagonist. In general I am far less likely to engage with or be interested in a male character but the everyman character always falls flat for me.

Smut dislikes:

• Use of safewords or the traffic light system in vanilla sex or where no/stop have not been established to not mean no/stop or traffic lights do not exist.
• Penetration as necessary for sex to be real or intimate,

General likes:

• Genres: Character studies, mystery/procedural, horror - particularly psychological and body horror, sci-fi/fantasy
• Gen, femslash,
• Unhappy endings
• Major character death
• Works focused on women and their relationships with other women whether those be romantic, antagonistic or friendly
• Similar levels of respect and affection between people in romantic relationships. If they both hate or disrespect each other it’s awesome but when one party respects/likes the other and other party disrespects/dislikes them it’s squicky to me.
• Main or POV characters to be in their late twenties at least.
• Fantasy worlds based on areas other than the USA or medieval Western Europe
• Settings other than the USA

Smut likes: I’m honestly open to every kink that isn’t mentioned in my DNW list including noncon/dubcon but a few things I really like are listed below

• Tentacles (animal, alien or plant), 
• Interesting anatomy and detailed descriptions of that anatomy in xeno or monster sex
• Incompatible bodies in xeno or monster sex 
• Scars/wrinkles/stretch marks/the evidence of life lived on women’s bodies
• Imperfect bodies
• Sex that is awkward or not perfect but is enjoyable and fun

Crazyhead

Characters: Amy, Suzanne, Raquel

I’m interested in stories featuring any combination of Amy, Suzanne and/or Raquel.

Fandoms Likes: My favourite things about this canon is that it is the relationships between Amy, Raquel and Susanne and the absurd sense of humour and the way it’s used to address very serious topics and diffuse the tension. In general I loved the world building of the series and would love to see that explored in more detail.
 

Prompts:

1. What is going on with Suzanne in the final scene?
2. How are they going to deal with the that were demons released?
3. So what about that kiss between Amy and Raquel?
4. To be honest anything that continues on from the final scene and explores the relationships between Amy, Susanne, and Raquel is going to make me happy.

Rivers of London

Characters: Abigail Kamara, Beverley Brook,  Sahra Guleed, Varvara Sidorovna Tamonina

Fandom Specific DNWs: Thomas Nightingale/Peter Grant

I’m interested in stories featuring any combination of the requested characters or pure worldbuilding featuring OCs/no characters.

I’m up to Cry Fox in the graphic novels, Furthest Station in the novels and have read the transcript of the audio book. I expect to have read Waterweed and Lies Sleeping by reveals.

Fandoms Likes: As someone who lives in London, I love how real the London of Rivers of London feels and how well the supernatural elements blend in with the mundane reality of the city. The worldbuilding of the series is probably the biggest draw to me. I would love to see non-Newtonian magic explored or the Demi-Monde.

I would love any work where any combination of these characters interact. Particularly stories featuring Beverley/Sahra, Beverley&Sahra, Beverley/Varvara, or Sahra&Varvara would be amazing.

Prompts:

1. I would love to see the fallout of Cry Fox explored. How does Abigail and her family feel having been kidnapped because of her involvement with the Folly? Do Peter and Nightingale get better about actually teaching her rather than blowing her off? If they don’t does Abigail find someone else to learn from.
2. I would love to know more about Beverley’s life when she isn’t with Peter. How many worshippers does she have beyond Maxim? What responsibilities and duties does a River Goddess have? What did she get up to while she was a hostage to the peace deal with Father Thames?
3. I love to see Sahra dealing with Falcon or Falcon adjacent cases without Peter or Nightingale or how her awareness of the supernatural is affecting her home life.
4. I’d love to see more of Varvara’s time in the Night Witches or what she got up to in between our meeting her in Broken Homes. Seeing Varvara  meet between Lady Caroline Linden-Limmer or Tyburn would be amazing.

Jackalope Wives Series - Ursula Vernon

Characters: Any

Fandoms Likes: I fell in love with the world building and women of this series.

This canon is freely available. The first story, Jackalope Wives, can be found here and the second story, The Tomato Thief, can be found here. 
 

Prompts:

1. How does the Cholla-bone girl’s training with Grandma Harken go?
2. Does Eva know or suspect that Grandma Harken was once a Jackalope Wife?
3. Anything about how the desert and the industrial world interact. Are there factory gods? How does time and space work on the borders between cities and the desert? 
4. What happens to Maugurite after she is freed?
