babster Dear Author,
Thank you very much for writing for me! I'm bygoshbygolly on AO3. Below are some general details on the things I am into, and more specific prompts and ideas are in each fandom section.
Likes: quiet intimacy, trust, loyalty, deep friendships, wrong choices made for the right reasons, get-together fic, 'I hate them but it's complicated', slow burn, focusing on hands, monsters, magical realism, people who are bad at feelings, the gap between expectations and reality, fake dating/married, awkward flirting, missing scenes, metaphors taken as literal
Ship: Any
That's right, any. There are no bad options here, and I'm desperate for content.
For my money, you can't go wrong with fighting, either as metaphor or as something laden with tension, or just because fighting is fun! Any ship fighting is good (yes, even Natsuo/Kei). Crushes, awkward feelings, no one being able to be cool about anything. Or snippets of interviews and news coverage! I think that's super cool.
For the students, I'd also be interested in future fic, either in the MMA world or everyday life.
For the older ladies, I'm super interested in first meetings, respect (begrudging or not), or, if you're down for it, discussions of the evolution of women's fighting/MMA.
For art: Official MMA posters, dates, fighting, confessions, quiet moments
Ballroom e Youkoso
Ship: Any
Yeah, 'Any' again.
Let's get into gender politics. Anything that explores the partner/leader theme and how partners are treated in the series is something I'm interested in.
I also really like the idea of being left behind, and picking yourself up. Mako and Shizuku are both worried about being left behind; Akira was left behind- what's next?
Unexpected meetings and future fic are also great! If you want to throw in a murder or two, go for it.
For art: pairs dancing, doing each other's make-up, dates, confessions
Revolutionary Girl Utena
Ships: Utena/Anthy; Utena/Wakaba; Juri/Shiori
Considering the source material, I'm not against discussing past rape/csa/trauma, especially how it affects characters, but please don't go into the gory details. Also, definitely feel free to get weird and metaphorical.
I love the solid basis of friendship between Utena and Wakaba, but they both have secrets and insecurities that they keep from each other, and I would love something exploring either side (or both sides) of that. Or confessions, a date, the two of them in the future...It's all good.
Juri/Shiori...it's complicated. I'd be interested in longing, and frustration, but also future-fic where they've both grown some and try and start over. Or fencing practice, maybe.
Utena/Anthy is one of my favorite ships, and as a result I am terrible at coming up with prompts for them- Tea drinking in the future, complicated feelings about the Rose Bride/engaged deal, further attempts to poison one another (while having feelings)...anything, really.
For art: Riffing on any of the symbolism in the show, moments in the future, quiet moments
Hungry Daughters of Starving Mothers
Ship: Jen/Aiko
I'd love to read about things from Aiko's point of view, considering she knew. Or, a post-story fic, either where Jen saves Aiko and things are mostly-fine (as fine as things could be, considering), or where Jen saves Aiko and things are...not quite right. Fic about them before the story begins would also be great!
This is a case where I'd be ok receiving something dark and borderline-unhappy. I'd prefer no 'and everything was awful forever and ever, the end,' but 'this wasn't what I planned or wanted, and I must live with it' is fine.
For art: anything with cooking, them sharing space, Jen seeing thoughts, any of their scenes illustrated
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
Ship: Farah/Amanda
These two were so cute, and I hope they have scenes together in S2.
I'd love them going on adventures together, or teaching each other something. Something where they go on a date (or try) and things get weird, because of course they do. Two weird people feeling a little less weird with each other.
I know Farah's anxiety and Amanda's pararibulitis are important to their characters, and I'm cool with those things being part of a fic, but I would prefer if they weren't the sole or primary focus.
For art: clothes-swap, adventures, just chilling, smooching.

AU Likes: fairytale AUs, superhero AUs, monster AUs, canon-divergence AUs, Princess Bride AUs
DNW: A/B/O, rape, underage sex, major character death, pregnancy, incest, nonconsensual surgery/body modification, hopeless endings (general angst is fine)
Art: I love art, but can have trouble coming up with prompts. Anything ship or AU related is great, and I included a few prompts for each fandom, but I will love anything.
