 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 below that are more specific prompts and ideas. While pretty much anything that doesn't hit my DNWs will make me happy, I know it can be helpful to have something more specific than 'go wild.'
 
Likes: fairytales (both fairytale AUs and just the general tone and language), quiet intimacy, trust, loyalty, superhero AUs, 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, everyday magic and magical realism, expectations vs reality, fake dating/married, awkward flirting, canon-divergence AUs, missing scenes, metaphors taken as literal, bitterness
 
If you want to include sex: body worship, intercrural, teasing, frottage, fingering, oral (esp. cunnilingus), and foreplay are all A+ in my book. I am lukewarm on actual penetration but do your thing
 
DNW: A/B/O or biological imperative, rape, underage sex, major character death, pregnancy, nonconsensual surgery/body modification, hopeless endings 
 
I like gen, het, slash, and femslash. I also like unconventional formatting and style, if you want to get experimental, up-to and including IF. 


Inda
Characters: Any

This series has a special place in my heart. I love the worldbuilding (especially the gestures and everyday magic) and the sense of how that world changes over the series. The omniscient third-person narrator provides an interesting look into all the different characters, and I am really attached to all of them. Last year I received a gorgeous fic for this fandom, but I love this series and would be perfectly happy to receive something for it every year.

I'm interested in any character or character combination. I want to read anything and everything: shipfic, fic on a ship, political machinations, character studies, adventure, furious arguments and/or pining...if you already have an idea of what you want to write, go for it.

While I love the canon setting, I can’t let go of the idea of SPACE AU. Evred, king of a militarily powerful, yet culturally backwater planet. Fox, the space pirate. Jeje the trader who doesn't think much of planet-bound folk, and even less of kings.
Fox and Evred meeting! Fox, especially, has such strong feelings regarding Evred. I’d love to see these two neurotic redheads meet. Especially with the specter of Inda (real or metaphorical) between them. Or Fox looking into Evred's head and finding they have more in common than he'd like to admit.

Post-canon fic! Jeje sailing with Fox could be fun to read about, or her time as Harbormaster. Evred and Tau seeing the world. Fox out of time. Inda and Fox at Darchelde.

I'd love to read about Fox and Inda's year scouting after the whole Wafri incident, too. I've always wondered what happened, or what might have happened.

I'd also love to see journal entries and letters, or, on a meta-level, bits of a Colendi play featuring Jeje in her red robe, spouting truths. 


Hungry Daughters of Starving Mothers- Alyssa Wong
Characters: Any

This is my favorite short story, and I've read it so many times I've lost track. It's wonderfully creepy and atmospheric and fraught, and the last scene! It's amazing. It can be read here.

I'd love to read more about Jen and Aiko, whether it be pre-canon fic with Jen realizing how tantalizing Aiko's thoughts are, or post-canon fic where she's managed to bring Aiko back, especially came-back-wrong fic. How do they continue, after what happened at the party?

I'd also love to read something focusing on Aiko, and how she knew about Seo-Yun (and must have suspected about Jen) all that time. How did she keep that a secret? How did she feel about the whole idea of eating thoughts, and how do you cater that?

Anything more about Seo-Yun would be great, whether that be how she started having her parties, or how she picks her caterers/guests/victims, or her time with Jen.

General worldbuilding would also be wonderful! Or recipe fic, if that's something that interests you. Any ship, or no ship, is good with me here.


Revolutionary Girl Utena
Utena, Anthy

It was love at first viewing for me with this series, and every time I rewatch it I get something new out of it. I love the playing with fairy tale ideas, and the weirdness of Ohtori, and all the endless symbolism. And I love Utena's well meaning cluelessness, and how manipulative and bitter and tragic Anthy is.

I ship Utena/Anthy, but as long as they're important to each other, even if they don't entirely understand why, I'll be happy.

Ever since I heard Ikuhara tossed around the idea of the duelists using guns, I've wanted a Western!AU for this series. Utena the drifter wanders into a weird town and gets more than she bargained for, Anthy is the mysterious mayor's sister, duels and Weird West tropes everywhere. Anything playing with this idea!

I'm also interested in post-series fic, especially in the wasteland the movie shows. But anything exploring how the series affected the characters and what life is like outside of Ohtori would be good. Do Anthy and Utena meet again, and what are the circumstances there?

Any fairy-tale AU, or messing with fairy tale tropes would be great. Or, and I can't believe I'm writing this, something along the lines of Shrek? What happens when a witch and a would-be prince fall in love, when there's nothing in the stories that allows for that?

Anthy's Malice- fun five-times fic or something darker, or anything really that explores the ways Anthy messes with people would be great.

Definitely feel free to get weird, and to include any other characters. If there's any ideas you've had for this series/these characters but thought "Hmm, maybe that's too self-indulgent" I am interested! I love that!


Dungeon Meshi | Delicious in Dungeon
Laius, Senshi

I love this manga! It’s so much fun; the plot is interesting and the characters are ridiculous and the humor and art is fantastic. I love how the worldbuilding is unfolding, with dungeons being a feature of the world with social and economic implications, and the magic and monsters and really, all of it. I love every single member of the main party, and the side characters are all so wonderfully distinct.

I chose Laius and Senshi because I really like their dynamic, and how they interact with the dungeon as well. Laius has learned a lot from Senshi about the ecosystem of the dungeon, as well as how to cook various monsters, and Senshi has learned more about the actual creatures he's been living with.

I'd love to read recipe fic for this series, or anything focusing on the importance of food. A side quest ft Laius and Senshi would also be great- what sort of monsters do they bump into, and how do they deal with them?

Post-series fic would also be great, however you see that happening- King Laius with Senshi as head chef/gamekeeper/adviser, or moving on to another dungeon with Farlyn and the others, or opening a restaurant together, or anything else!

If you want to write backstory for one of them, I'd also be happy to read that- no need to include both of them, and of course feel free to include any other characters you want. We already have some backstory for Laius and Senshi, but I really do love them, and there's still plenty of stories to be told for them. Really, just have fun!
