bluerosekatieDNWs:
- Incest, including adopted and step-relations (technical exception: Takua and Gali in the Unlucky Mata AU, because I messed up and made him seem like an adopted relative of the sextuplets)
- Underage (under 18) sex - depiction or discussion
- Rape - depiction or discussion
- Explicit sex or references to off-screen sex (primarily as innuendoes -- pregnant female characters aren't a problem)
- Unrequested changes to a canon character's sexuality/gender/race/etc.
- Graphic depictions of violence. Canon-typical violence is an exception, but dismemberment squicks me.
- Harming children 12 and under severely or permanently. Being scared, upset, or temporarily injured (scrapes, bruises) are fine.
- Harm to pet animals, unless the animal is rescued and safe by the end of the story.
- Cruelty to animals, clean deaths are OK but not generally wanted either.
- Crossovers w/ RPF or unrequested fandoms
- Unrequested romantic ships. If I say a ship in a different part of my request, it's not unrequested. Background OC ships are generally OK.
- Sinking requested ships if you choose to write them platonic. (Don't have them say "I could only see you as a friend", etc.)
- Character death for requested characters. I may be okay with canon character deaths but if there are specific characters pointed out in my requests, I'd rather not read about them dying unless noted otherwise.
- AI-generated works.
Likes!!:
- Fluff/slice of life, especially for characters who don't get a lot of that in canon.
- Focus on canon friendships
- Missing scenes/little added details that weren't in canon
- Happy endings
- Hurt/Comfort, especially between friends and ships
- Physical affection (between friends and between romantic ships)
- Food-centric worldbuilding. Make me hungry for foods that don't exist (or that do!)
- Requested ships being awesome in battle together (or alternatively, how they stick up for each other in everyday situations)
- Shenanigans (prank wars, random in-character goofy situations, friendly banter, if superpowers are involved, messing around with superpowers)
- Cats. If you can include a cat and want to include a cat, please include a cat!
- Transformations and/or showing off abilities, for canons involving superhuman abilities. Mild body horror/focus on the transformation aspect is OK here but see previous DNWs about violence.
- Soap or bubblegum bubbles, especially gigantic ones. Works well when combined with shenanigans. This doesn't have to be realistic either.
- Crossovers between requested fandoms.
- Canon Divergence AUs (e.g. what-ifs)
- Treats! I am okay with treats of any kind, so long as it's not something going against my DNWs!
Specific requests ahead.
Unlucky Mata+
(Bionicle - All Media Types, Keeper of the Lost Cities - Shannon Messenger)
Characters I'd love to see depicted in a fusion where Keeper characters become Bionicle:
Sophie Foster or Fitz Vacker (Toa of Psionics much?), Marella Redek (easy, Toa of Fire), Linh Song (Toa of Water), Jensi (Matoran, Plantlife), Ro as a Vortixx or Steltian would be interesting -- just experiment with it!
Alternately, if you'd rather worldbuild around a similar conflict between secret organizations in a "fractured utopia" like in Keeper of the Lost Cities, it could be interesting to build it in the Kingdom universe!
Characters I'd love to see depicted in a fusion where Bionicle characters become elves from KOTLC:
Gali, Takanuva, (any of the Toa Nuva, really), Krakua, Artakha, Helryx, Tuyet, Jaller, -- these are a lot of characters I've shown in my Unlucky Mata series, and I would love to see your take on the universe or whatever scenes you'd like to depict in art. I love elemental abilities, both in Bionicle and KOTLC, and the differences between the two universes would be fun to merge into a fusion AU!
Ghost Riding Cybertronians
(Ghost Rider (Marvel Comics), Transformers: Prime)
I love love love the idea of Gabe Reyes and Robbie Reyes interacting with Team Prime as they do in my AllSpark Ghost Rider series. Alternately, making Gabe and Robbie into spark siblings who crashed on Earth as Cybertronians is also an interesting concept to me -- two Transformers against a hostile world. If you aren't fans of the All-New Ghost Rider cast or aren't as familiar with Ghost Riders, depicting any of the Team Prime characters or Decepticons with a skeleton vibe and black and chrome details, on fire, as befitting the Ghost Rider aesthetic, I'd love to see that as well!!
Robots and More!
(Tetsuwan Atom | Astro Boy, Portal (Valve Video Games), Metroid Series)
I'd love to see any of the combinations of Samus, Atom, Uran, Chell, and GLaDOS interacting, primarily in more of a humorous or action-adventure context, or some sort of universe in which GLaDOS has two "younger" humanesque robots to help her test (Atom and Uran). Whatever you can come up with, I love to see it!
Digital Ghosts
(Ghost Rider (Marvel Comics), Tron - All Media Types)
Neon glowing vehicles, skeletal riders, the ghosts of programs and users coming back with vengeance on the mind -- whether you take it with Robbie Reyes and Gabe Reyes as programs, or if you send the Spirits of Vengeance into the Grid as a response to the ISOs and Clu's destruction, I'm excited to see what you create!!
Thank you for checking this out!! :D Hopefully it gives you some ideas!
