cubewithlegsDear Author,
First off, you are obviously an individual with fantastic taste. I can tell, because we've got fandoms in common. Mmhm. That said, thank you for signing up and writing for me! I hope that this can be an enjoyable experience for you, and not something you dread. And because of this, I'm going to say it now:
If my prompts or what I "ship" aren't something you can picture happening or aren't what you're comfortable writing, then please, please throw them out the window and write the characters as true to themselves as you can. I would rather read something in-character that you enjoyed writing than something you've forced yourself to write. I've been there. I get it. It sucks.
But on to what I like! I very rarely go for alternate universe things, unless it's a fantastic feat of worldbuilding and you can show me why it needs to be AU. Mild slips from canon are fine, I just don't really tend to enjoy crazy AU. Kind of in that vein, I generally prefer dark or serious stories to fluff or crack. I love wit, wordplay, and snappy dialogue, but goofy randomness has to be the most hilarious thing in the world for me to not be disappointed by it. I'm fine with gen or sex, but you'll notice that most of the pairings I prompted for are m/m. That's because I'm I bi-leaning-towards-gay guy, and that's what the canons tend to leave me unsatisfied with. As far as sex and content go, I don't have a lot of limits. I like kink. A lot. I would almost be willing to say "the darker the better," but only if your story calls for it. Again, don't force it. But... I do like screwed up kinky sex. Just sayin'.
Anyway, here are the prompts themselves. My "Optional Details" are included here so you've got an easy reference. And again, thanks!
Requests:
Tales of the Abyss
Van Grants, Guy Cecil
I just want to see more of Van and Guy's relationship and interactions, at any canon point you choose. How do they feel about each other? How do they interact? How do their feelings about other characters shade this very old relationship? Slash is fine, but if it gets to sex, I'd prefer Van end up on top. I mentioned it above in general, but I'd really rather this be serious than goofy.
The Magicians
Quentin Coldwater, Alice Quinn, Eliot Waugh
I really want more of what isn't shown here. I'd like to see Quentin post-Magician King, or in The Magicians before the ending. In Fillory would also be all right, but I want to know what it was like for him living in our world, knowing everything he knows, dealing with everything he's lost. If you'd rather do sex or romance, I primarily ship Quentin/Alice here (though I'm weird and intrigued by questions like: did Quentin ever meet Alice after her transformation? Was she watching him? What was her new existence like? How did she feel about him?) Quentin/Eliot is also okay, IF you can make it work within your story and give me enough background. I want to know how/why it happened, not just random gratuitous gay.
Tales of Graces
Asbel Lhant, Richard Windor, Lambda
I'm mostly asking for Richard/Asbel with this. I do ship them (I ship them SO HARD) and if we're talking sex, I'd like to see Richard on top, and I want it a little dark. Richard has a lot of darkness in him, even when he isn't controlled by Lambda, and Asbel is the one person who always accepts him, including that darkness, so I think it shows. I put Lambda on here as well just because depending on the canon point you choose, he's got a lot of potential to be a part of things on either side, which I'm also interested in. If the slash isn't your thing, I'd still like more of their relationship, especially post-game, however you see it being.
