Dear Fic-in-a-Box Creator

[roselynnthornwood]

Hello, dear creator!

First and foremost, thank you for creating something lovely for me. I’m excited to see what you come up with. Hopefully this letter gives you some ideas of what I like, but even if you do nothing with my prompt ideas and go your own way, I'll have a blast. I love giving a writer or artist a chance to go wild.

General Fic Likes:

I'm a huge sucker for hurt/comfort, especially emotional but physical as well. Characters helping each other through feelings is my absolute jam, and major bonus points for good h/c after a sexual assault scenario.

I'm truly happy with any rating, but I do like smut to have at least a tiny bit of plot or character development. I appreciate well-written fluff across the spectrum from snuggles to sexytimes.

Magic that requires intense intimacy is a trope I adore, whether a spell needs emotional vulnerability or full-blown sex magic to execute it. I especially like this trope when it requires two characters who wouldn’t normally engage in such a level of intimacy to perform it, and I love seeing them deal with the feelings the experience unearths after the fact.

I like dubious consent when it comes to love spells, sex pollen, and love potion situations. I like noncon and ravishment quite a lot as well, as long as the victim is aroused and especially when sexy villains are the perpetrators.

 

General Art Likes:

Bright colors and grayscale are both wins for me. I really like Art Nouveau style. I'm also a big fan of tarot imagery and love interpretations of cards with characters from pop culture.

Recursive works or illustrations of my fic are the fastest way to my heart. I love seeing how artists envision the scenes that I’ve written!

Nudity is fine, but I do like female characters to have somewhat realistically proportioned bodies rather than a Barbie-esque or comic book heroine physique. I lean a bit more toward liking implied nudity when it comes to smut rather than explicit sexuality.

 

Unique Medium Likes:

Home bartending is a major hobby of mine, so I will be ecstatic if you create me a drink recipe inspired by my favorite ship or characters!

I'm an eclectic pagan, so any spell or ritual you create inspired by my favorite ships and characters will delight me. Get creative and have fun!

 

 

 

Now for the Fandoms!

 

Buffyverse

--Angelus/Darla/Drusilla/Spike: my favorite fucked-up vampire polycule. Stories and artwork of them wreaking havoc throughout history together are absolutely encouraged.

Fics of mine I'd love to see given the recursive treatment: "Angelus Domini" (CW: Rape/Noncon)


--Winifred "Fred" Burkle/Wesley Wyndham-Pryce, Illyria/Wesley Wyndham-Pryce: Fred and Wesley melt my heart, and I wish they had gotten more time together in canon. I'd love to see them be giant, lovey nerds together. I also think the darker side of Wesley's attraction to Fred and the complexity of her body being overtaken by Illyria is worth exploring, whether in Wesley guiding Illyria to understand humanity better or Illyria using her ability to appear like Fred to torment Wesley. I like alternate timelines, "what-ifs," and fix-its for this pairing. What if it was Wesley rather than Angel who rescued Fred from Pylea? What if Angel Investigations found a way to banish Illyria and bring Fred back?

Fics of mine I'd love to see given the recursive treatment: "Asking For It" (CW: Rape/Noncon)


--Jenny Calendar, Faith Lehane: these two are favorite badass women of mine, and neither of them gets enough fanart or fic on their own. Show me some artwork of either of them in their element, or write me a story from one of their POVs and I will love you forever.


--Jenny Calendar/Rupert Giles: my beautiful tragic OTP. I love all the “what-if” scenarios and AUs where Jenny survives season 2 and imaginings of how her relationship with Giles would have grown throughout the series. I wish we had gotten to see this pairing become the magic battle couple they could have been.

Fics of mine I'd love to see given the recursive treatment: "Beltane," "Connected," "Fool in the Rain," "Nocturne" (CW: Graphic Violence/Gore), "Wake Me With the Morning Light," "Yes, Ripper"


--Drusilla/Spike: this is for all of you folks who want to get real dark, or a little weird and violent. This pairing wreaking havoc together throughout history is a topic I will never tire of reading about, so go buck wild.

Fics of mine I'd love to see given the recursive treatment: "First Night"


--Rupert Giles/Willow Rosenberg: I love the idea of these two ending up together post-canon. They're both coded as bisexuals, both nerds, both magic users, and both lost their most iconic partner suddenly and tragically. I also like the idea of a mentor/protege relationship between them blossoming into something more, whether Willow is in high school at the time and there are scandalous circumstances for them to navigate or between Seasons 6 & 7 while they're in England together. Dark Willow taking her fight with Giles in a more BDSM-esque direction is absolutely fair game, and bonus points if they have to deal with the trauma or awkwardness of it in the aftermath.

Fics of mine I'd love to see given the recursive treatment: "Bonded"


--Faith Lehane/Buffy Summers: missing scenes from “Amends” could be a lot of fun for these two. I love stories where Buffy gets Faith to let her guard down a little. I also like the idea of them getting into some naughty trouble together during "Bad Girls."

Fics of mine I'd love to see given the recursive treatment: "Isn't It Crazy...?", "Keep Your Enemies Closer" (CW: Rape/Noncon)

--Faith Lehane/Wesley Wyndham-Pryce: a kinky version of the torture scene in "Five by Five" would be super hot. Their chemistry was also on fire after Faith busted herself out of prison; I’d love to see some sweet battle couple dynamics between these two.

--Daniel "Oz" Osborne/Willow Rosenberg: these two were such a cute couple, and there aren't nearly enough fanworks of them for my liking. What if Oz got control of his wolfishness way soon than in canon, and Willow got to have a doggo friend once a month? What if that were adorable? Or naughty? I'm also down for all the cuteness in human form, especially in regards to Willow trying to be her terrifying vampire doppelganger and Oz loving it.



Game of Thrones

--Missandei, Lyanna Mormont, Arya Stark, Lyanna Stark, Daenerys Targaryen, Brienne of Tarth: I adore all of these women for their utter badassery in all its forms. Any work featuring any of them is guaranteed to delight me.

Fics of mine I'd love to see given the recursive treatment: "The Lion and the Maiden Fair," "The Ones She Had Lost"



A Song of Ice and Fire

--Petyr Baelish/Sansa Stark: I live for the predatory dynamic between these two, and I love when Sansa learns from Littlefinger and is able to turn his own manipulation against him.

Fics of mine I'd love to see given the recursive treatment: "The Tutelage of Alayne"


--Daenerys Targaryen/Viserys Targaryen: there's so much complexity in this relationship. These two would have expected to be married, and they grew up in a strange land having only each other. How would Viserys have groomed Dany as thwy were growing up, feeling like he was entitled to her? I'd love to see an exploration of Dany's complicated feelings toward her brother, her love for him and her growing resentment for him as she comes into her own power and realizes how awfully he's treated her.

Fics of mine I'd love to see given the recursive treatment: "The Ones She Had Lost"



Stranger Things

--Robin Buckley & Steve Harrington: Give me all the goofy shenanigans, the weird and shitty work days together, the unlikely friendship tropes, and the accidental badassery. Let them bond over their pining for unrequited love interests (or unknowingly the same love interest, cuz I’m pretty sure Robin is as sweet on Nancy as Steve is).


--Chrissy Cunningham/Eddie Munson: These two are my latest obsession. I live for all the “what-ifs” this pairing allows- alternate timelines where both of them survive, time travel where Eddie is able to go back to the night Chrissy was killed and not run away this time, underworld rescues, No Upside-Down AUs where they had a chance without Vecna and the demobats interfering, Chrissy joining the Hellfire Club and learning how to play D&D. Give them the happy ending they deserved, or break my heart all over again, whichever direction you want to take them.

Fics of mine I'd love to see given the recursive treatment: "Freaks Together,"
"Natural 20"

--Eddie Munson: My favorite fictional nerd. I love him. I adore all the art and all the stories that feature him. Eddie as Dungeon Master is probably my favorite side of him, but I love what a glorious mess of a person he is in general. I also enjoy the possible future of Kas!Eddie or Vampire!Eddie and how the rest of the adventure party would handle it if he came back from the Upside-Down wrong somehow.

Fics of mine I'd love to see given the recursive treatment: "Bat Out of Hell"

--Nancy Wheeler: I’m all about her badass development in Season 4. Nancy with a shotgun was a life changing experience for me. I love her. Show me my sweet honor roll student all grown up and kicking ass.



Tortall- Tamora Pierce

--Alanna of Pirate's Swoop & Olau/George Cooper: This pairing is my first ever OTP, and I still love them dearly. I'd love to see what shenanigans they got up to after Song of the Lioness canon ended and before Tricksters began. Who proposed to whom, and how did they do it? What was their wedding like? How much of a hot mess was Alanna when she was pregnant with any of her children? What were they like as parents when Alianne was teeny? Bring on the snark and the battle couple dynamics; I live for those with these two.
