Dear Writer,

Thank you so much for writing a fic for me. I’m so excited about this exchange! I haven’t included many concrete prompts. I think the freeform tags are a great guide, so under the individual requests I’m usually talking more generally about what I love about the series.

Freeforms:

I have used quite similar freeforms for all fandoms though they do differ a bit. So, I’ll talk about them here generally and then just list the relevant ones under every request.

• Canon-style plot - I just love the series and books I’ve requested, so I’m not that interested in coffee shop or high school AUs. I love all the case fics (be it detective or medical) just sprinkled with a bit of the characters’ relationships.
• Hurt/comfort - I love hurt/comfort. There can never be enough h/c in a fanfic. I prefer physical h/c, and injuries wayyy over illnesses. I love hurt/comfort and everything it encompasses ie. adapting to new life, permanent injuries, physical therapy…
• Slice of life - I’d love to get a sneak peek into the everyday life of my favourite characters.
• Mystery/Procedural - Case fics! Case fics! I’d love to follow the characters while they are investigating a crime or trying to diagnose a patient.
• Getting together - The majority of my requested pairs are not canon, so I’d love to know how they started dating, who was the matchmaker, how was the first kiss, whether their boss was happy about it…
• Established Relationship - I’d like to get a sneak peek into the private life of my faves.
• Fluff - All my faves are so busy with saving the patients and saving the world, have to always be alert and competent. And I’d love to see a bit of fluff in their lives. Who’ll bring them the fluff? And what is it? Visiting a cat-cafe or breakfast in bed?
• Action/Adventure - I have this freeform for SEAL Team. So that’s missions! Deployments! And for Judge Dee Mysteries and The Professionals because their investigations can be really dramatic.
• Fix-it fic - Only for Grey’s Anatomy and SEAL Team and House M.D. Yup, not that happy with Calzona’s break-up and Clay’s death. These were such bad bad decisions by the TV writers. And there’s so much room to build a totally new reality in the fic. For House, I think it got a bit off the rails after season 5… the hospitalization, the whole Cuddy/House, break-up and the car “accident” - maybe we could do without them.
• Character Development - here I’m thinking specifically about Cristina Yang from Grey’s Anatomy and House because they are just fascinating. The way they think…

General likes:

• missing scenes
• prequel/sequel of a canon scene
• canon verse
  
  
• friendship fics
• case fics
• future fics (future of the respective show/book)
• gen fics
• 5 + 1 fics
• character studies
• friends to lovers
• humour
• slowburn
• domestic fics
• fluff
• hurt/comfort (preferably physical injuries)
  
  
• happy endings
• open endings
• second and third person POV
• unusual narrator
• lots of descriptions of the surroundings and atmosphere
• multiple timelines

DNWs:

• E rated fics;
• sexual scenes (cuddling and kissing is ok; I just don’t want to see more);
• repeatedly mentioning body parts typically involved in sexual activities, especially c**k (mentioning “butt” or “breasts” in non-sexual context is ok);
• excessive unnecessary violence (i.e. way over what is usual for a given show/book);
• kid fics (i.e. focus on an original or canon child character);
• omegaverse, mpreg and such;
• royal/coffeeshop/high school/historic/sci-fi AUs;
• Alzheimer’s, cancer and coronavirus related themes;
• permanent brain damage;
• death of any requested character (even if it’s canon);
• and downright unhappy endings

Thank you for writing a fic for me.

Dear Author, thank you so much for writing a story for me.

Here’s a list of my general likes, DNWs and some prompts for individual requests.

The first thing I’d like to point out is: I love the atmosphere of the requested shows/books and I want to have moooore of it so I usually prefer the canon-verse or some smaller (or bigger) canon divergence over alternate universe.

For / ships I’d like to clarify that I don’t need romance and kisses in every paragraph of the fic. I’d love to know that my beloved characters are in a relationship or are trying to get together but you can mix it with my other general likes or focus more on my other general likes and genres and tropes and just add this new layer of two characters being in a relationship in smaller measures. But if you want to write a whole fic about the partners panicking and preparing a wedding, I’m here for it too.

I also love hurt/comfort and will squeal in joy at whatever mention of h/c.
