Femsub 2021 Dear Author Letter (WIP)
Jul. 4th, 2021 07:16 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
aunt_zeldaHello, thank you for signing up for this exchange!
Please don't worry about following any particular prompt I have here. I know how anxiety-inducing it can be to get an assignment and have no prompts or idea of what the person likes at all, so I wanted to provide some. If you get a completely different idea, go right ahead, I look forward to whatever you write for this.
My DNWs for this exchange are: suicide/self harm, major character death, major character illness, adultery/cheating, brutal unhappy endings with no hope in sight, oviposition, crackfic, rimming, mindbreak, corrective rape (sexuality or gender), character or ship bashing, spelling it "cum," characters under the age of 16 engaging in sex, fingernail/toenail trauma/injuries, kidfic/de-aging, trypophobia content, teeth damage/trauma, explicit urine/feces/vomit, detailed insects/bugs, first or second person POV, cancer, institutionalization, needles used for torture, eye torture/trauma, breast mutilation (biting or scratching is ok but not more extreme than that), gaslighting, fridging female characters (removing them from the narrative to focus on a male character’s trauma), suicide or assisted suicide as the end of a character/used or framed as a “mercy,” pregnancy, miscarriage, pets being endangered or harmed or killed, unrequested crossovers/fusions with other fandoms, medical torture/abuse, explicit child abuse (references to it as backstory are ok), petplay, sexual ageplay, bimboification.
Some fandom-specific DNWs are located below!
General things I like: character A teaching character B to defend themselves, bandaging wounds, navigating polyamory, asexual characters in romantic relationships, mad scientists, lore & legends, symbolic dreams, powerplays and power reversals, coping with long-term injuries and/or scars, roadtrips, pirate AUs, space pirate AUs, vampire AUs, werewolf AUs, nonsexual BDSM, traditions and loyalty rituals, gothic horror, gothic romance, horror in the vein of Things Man Was Not Meant To Know, survival challenges, being trapped by storms/weather, monster and human friendships/alliances, holidays (real or invented), worldbuilding, platonic sleeping together for comfort, making/sharing food together, found family, character focus/exploration, asexual and/or trans headcanons, role reversal AU.
Smutty stuff I like: Oh No There Is Only One Bed, sexual BDSM, tentacles, xenokink/monsterfucking, hypnotism, aftercare, bratty bottoms getting taught manners, service kink, orgasm denial (that eventually ends, not unending torture), multiple orgasms, two dominants double-teaming a sub, dubious consent acknowledged as such, bdsm session where a character calls their safeword and they have to stop the scene, threesomes, kink negotiation, polyamory, first time sex, consensual voyeurism, masturbation, bondage, wax play/other sensation play, spanking with hands, flogging/whipping, D/s roleplay, sex toys, choking/breathplay.
Darker stuff I like: whump, hurt/comfort, trauma recovery, retribution (disproportionate or not) for a transgression/trespass of some kind, revenge, characters trauma-bonding, characters getting drenched in blood, messy and unhealthy relationships, nonconsensual hypnotism, sex pollen, Something Made Them Do It (aliens, magic, curses, artifacts, etc), virginity fetishizing, ravishment fantasy, consensual nonconsent/rape roleplay where it's clear it's a negotiated roleplay, knifeplay, gunkink, partners killing someone together, lovers killing someone together, monster/human partnerships where the human has allied with the monster against humanity, victims turning the tables on their attackers/rapists/abusers, villains in love and doing horrible things to other people together, possessiveness/protectiveness with couples, extreme loyalty as with a knight/sovereign or sailor/captain, submission to punishment/rape/execution on behalf of another, unconsciousness, begging for mercy, men crying, strangulation, gangbangs where the victim is overwhelmed by sensation.

REMEMBER TO ADD TAGS ON SIGNUP
The Arcana
Fandom-specific DNWs: Deaths of requested characters. Rape/noncon between requested characters.
Freeform tags: a
Nadia Satrinava/sub!Portia Devorak. They are lovely, I adore how much they care for each other. I really love them investigating the mysteries together, the family drama situations, Julian, and the Apprentice being about. I haven't gotten deep into the game but please don't worry about spoilers. I think it'd be good for Nadia to take charge and also for Portia to be pampered and taken care of like she deserves.
Terribly self-indulgent but AU where Portia did become a pirate? And Nadia is either her treasured permanent guest aboard the ship, or her favorite duchess to visit sneaking into port at night?

Hades (2018)
Fandom-specific DNWs: Permanent deaths of the requested characters (but death cycling like in the game is fine!)
Freeform tags: a
Aphrodite/Artemis. The flustered reaction Artemis has to Aphrodite in the game was such a small moment and I latched on hard. Who is the hunter and who is the prey here? Does Aphrodite want to be caught? Is Artemis overwhelmed by desire? Have all the fun you like with these two.
Nyx/Persephone. These two have such a complicated history. Why not make it even more complicated? Maybe Nyx has a particular price for helping her leave. Maybe Persephone was delighted to have a friend and ally. Maybe Nyx was jealous of the new queen. Maybe it's a full on AU and Nyx is the Ruler of the Underworld and abducts Persephone.

Shadow & Bone (TV)
Fandom-specific DNWs: Deaths of any of the requested characters. Inej disparaging Kaz based on his sexuality. Inej's romantic partners fetishizing her based on her ethnicity. Rape/noncon between any of the requested pairings.
Freeform tags: a
Inej Ghafa/Alina Starkov
Genya Safin/Alina Starkov
(I haven't read the books yet but I hope to soon. Don't worry about spoilers from those if you wanna mix in lore from the books.)
I love these characters and their varied situations and reactions to the lives they lead. I love them navigating around powerful figures in their lives. I love their personal codes and ethics and the challenges they face. I think it'd be great if any of them got together.
We didn't get much from Genya in the show but hints and I'd love to know more about her conflict over spying, being a plaything of the king and queen, and building up to take vengeance.
For Inej and Alina in particular I'm extremely taken by Inej's faith and religious devotion to Alina, and how Alina might reward that.

Rusty Quill Gaming
Fandom-specific DNWs: Deaths of Amelia, Sasha, Aphrodite, Azu, or Cel. Rape/noncon involving Azu. Rape/noncon in any ships with Sasha except Eldarion/Sasha.
Freeform tags: a
I have a variety of headcanons for Sasha that seem to change every day, gender, sexuality, level of sexual experience, feel free to do whatever you like.
Amelia Earhart/Sasha Racket. Fun on the airship to Prague, or AU where Sasha came back from Rome.
Aphrodite/sub!Azu. Maybe Aphrodite can reward her most devoted paladin?
Azu/Sasha Racket, Sasha Racket/sub!Azu. I'd love for good things to happen to Azu and Sasha. I think they could be very good to each other. Maybe post-battle intimacy?
Eldarion/Sasha Racket. Fascinated and frustrated by the hints of what went down with Eldarion and I wish we knew more!
Grizzop drik Acht Amsterdam/sub!Sasha Racket. The TRUST, the TRUST that would need to happen here. I love it. I want it.
Oscar Wilde/sub!Sasha Racket. I loved their pun games, I wish they'd had more time to chat. I think Wilde could be good for her, especially if she hasn't had much experience before.
sub!Sasha Racket/Celiquillithon "Cel" Sidebottom. This is just, me being very self-indulgent, but dammit I wanna see this. Fun experiments? I feel like Cel would be great at sensation play in particular. Maybe some fun with knives.
Zolf Smith/sub!Sasha Racket. She was so sad when he left. They had such a burgeoning trust relationship. I'd love to see that explored, especially regarding her distrust of bosses in general.

The Magnus Archives
Fandom-specific DNWs: Deaths of Jon, Melanie, Basira, or Georgie. Rape/noncon with Jon/Daisy or Georgie/Jon/Melanie (dubious consent is fine, i.e. sex pollen, Hunt or Slaughter powers, an artifact made them do it, etc.)
DNW clarification: Please don't erase what Melanie did to her eyes but please no gory details.
Freeform tags: a
Annabelle Cane/sub!Melanie King. I just think this would be interesting. Maybe Annabelle is her therapist. Maybe they meet in a sex club. Maybe Melanie picks the Web as her way to vengeance against Elias. Feel free to use all the mind control, dubious consent, outright rape, hypnotism/manipulation content you desire with these two.
Basira Hussain/Julia Montauk/Daisy Tonner
Basira Hussain/Melanie King/Daisy Tonner
Julia Montauk/Daisy Tonner
Trevor Herbert/Julia Montauk/sub!Daisy Tonner
Trevor Herbert/sub!Julia Montauk
I love werewolves. I love women getting to be angry. I love explorations of trauma, recovery, guilt, shame, passion, bloodlust, and vengeance. Give them knives and teeth and claws. Let them run through the woods. Let them tear each other's clothes off. Let them comfort each other. Let them chase each other down. Let them form a pack. Let them betray each other. Anything at all.
Maybe someone goes into heat. Maybe they run into each other on a hunt and fight each other instead. Maybe they have a disastrous date after a tinder match. Maybe Daisy's struggling with her urges and has violent sex with Julia to try and stave it off. Or she gives in and then regrets it, blood still warm on her lips.
For Trevor and Julia specifically, I love their weird dynamic of being so close and something beyond family. I love their hunger and delight in pursuit. I just wanna know more about them, their partnership, their hunts together. How they stalk targets, keep pace, fight. I don't personally see them as father/daughter but if you wanna lean into the implications there by all means go right ahead, I'll read it.
Jon Sims/sub!Daisy Tonner. This is a bit of a weird one I know but I love them together. I would really like to see them explore nonsexual bdsm together as a coping mechanism after the Coffin. I'm deeply interested in them having a close, weird, intimate relationship neither of them can really classify but they know it feels better to be together, feels safer. I'd prefer something fully consensual with these two instead of nonconsensual, but if weird Hunt shenanigans happen by all means lean into that in your writing.
Georgie Barker/Jon Sims/sub!Melanie King. I really love the idea of Jon and Georgie's past relationship getting explored, particularly them reconnecting later after they've both been through a lot. And like, Melanie in the middle, getting to be their sub, frustrated and bratty and getting what she wants only when she's been good and waited. I'm also really taken with Jon and Melanie's deeply complicated dynamic and would love some exploration of that too.
Agnes Montague/sub!Gertrude Robinson. What's it like to submit to a living flame, a living flame soulbonded to yourself? I would love to read anything about this. Totally down for a Now Powers AU too where they meet at a club or get matched up via exes.

Critical Role
Fandom-specific DNWs: Deaths of any of the requested characters. Rape/noncon between any requested pairings (dubious consent is ok.)
Freeform tags: a
Astrid/Jester Lavorre. Jester being all set to hate Astrid and then getting flustered and telling her how cool her hair was and linking arms and wanting to be friends? Love that. Astrid and Jester hooking up during the show? Yes. Astrid and Jester hooking up after the finale? Wonderful. I really don't care which is the sub, I bet Jester has a lot of ideas from the Chateau shenanigans in either role though.
Captain Avantika/sub!Jester Lavorre. What if Jester wasn't just angry about the Avantika/Fjord dynamic because of her crush on Fjord, but because she had a crush on Avantika too? AU where Avantika fixates on Jester instead. AU where Jester decides to try and seduce Avantika and it works. What If alternate where Avantika is in port and Jester wants to flirt with the beautiful woman in the tavern.
Ophelia Mardun/sub!Beauregard Lionett. We don't know much about Ophelia but we know she's into inflicting pain on her partners, and we know Beau's a masochist. There's a lot of room here to run wild with a lot of fun concepts. Perhaps the team escorts her back home, or to a new location. AU where Ophelia hires the scrappy ex-monk as a bodyguard and teaches her some manners. AU where Beau is sent to kill Ophelia but falls for her instead. Please note I'm VERY fond of the idea that Ophelia is secretly a vampire.
Keyleth/Vex'ahlia. There were some lovely hints in the early campaign, how about a What If where Keyleth and Vex got together? Or post-finale, they're both grieving and take comfort in each other. Or a fun girl's trip together on a hunt in the woods. Or a Modern AU. I'm not picky when it comes to these two.
Cassandra de Rolo/Vex'ahlia. Feel free to go full AU, or play up the almost incesty vibes here of Cassandra going for her brother's wife for whatever reason. Or perhaps a very poignant and sad comfort fic where Percy has died and they're reaching out to each other.

Dr. Carmilla/Raphaella la Cognizi
Ivy Alexandria/Raphaella la Cognizi
sub!Ivy Alexandria/Drumbot Brian
sub!Ivy Alexandria/Jonny d’Ville
I got real into this last summer and I'd love literally anything with these characters. Poignant, smutty, mad science experiments, AU where they're classic pirates or in a gothic romance situation. Totally down for pre-album lore, stuff from the fiction on the website, or anything, time is strange for the Mechs after all. I have a particular fondness for Nastya and the Aurora's dynamic, and Dr. Carmilla just ... everything about her.

I saw these pairings in the tagset and I just, was so stunned at the concepts. All of these are incredible. I would love to read absolutely anything about them. These awesome women making the wrong decisions for the right reasons (or the right decisions for the wrong reasons), dealing with things and powers beyond mortal understanding, struggling with faith and loyalty and protecting themselves and their own ... love it. Love them all.

Loyal Guard to the Empire/sub!Stoic Empress she wants to care for. I'm very taken by the idea of this dynamic. Is this one of the Guard's many duties or a secret arrangement between the two?
sub!CEO/Callgirl Who Used to Be Her Assistant. Did the CEO know when she called? I would really love to see the Callgirl domming her former boss, for cathartic reasons.
New Superhero/Experienced Supervillain. A simple dynamic but one I'm very fond of thinking about. Feel free to go campy or gritty and mess with secret identity issues.
Female Pirate Captain/Her Loyal Female First Mate. I do so love loyalty, particularly with a captain. Bonus points if the First Mate isn't the sub.
Tentacle Monster/sub!Lost Female Adventurer
Cryptid Hunter/Cryptid
Love me some xenokink. Would ideally prefer the monster/cryptid to be intelligent and understand what they're doing to their prey/partner. Mating season gone awry? Punishment for trespassing on their territory? A fun mutual hookup?
Male Drow Courtesan/sub!Female Adventurer
Female Tiefling Warlock/sub! Female Drow Rouge
Big fan of D&D shenanigans and these ships spoke to me for that. Feel free to play into cultural anxieties/stereotypes for the Drow or invent some of your own.

Love me some xenokink. Would ideally prefer the monster/cryptid to be intelligent and understand what they're doing to their prey/partner. Mating season gone awry? Punishment for trespassing on their territory? A fun mutual hookup?
Male Drow Courtesan/sub!Female Adventurer
Female Tiefling Warlock/sub! Female Drow Rouge
Big fan of D&D shenanigans and these ships spoke to me for that. Feel free to play into cultural anxieties/stereotypes for the Drow or invent some of your own.
