starriewolfHello, and thank you for writing for me! All I ask is that you follow my DNWs, and I'm happy to see any variation even if it's not what I explicitly suggest below.
In general:
- Content-wise:
- Hurt no Comfort
- Trigger-warning content (e.g. suicide, dubcon/noncon, paedophilia/chan, emotional/physical/any abuse, gaslighting, drug abuse...), dead dove do not eat
- Discrimination (homophobia, transphobia, racism, etc.), LGBTQIA+ erasure
- Insects
- Permanent bodily injury, terminal illness, death of any character listed as my favourites
- Character/ship bashing or uncharacteristically incompetent/weak characters
- Historical or Period Aus involving American or European history
- Horror
- Redemption of major villain characters (anti-hero is fine)
- Ship-related, if you are adding in ship(s):
- Unequal power dynamics, infidelity, humiliation
- Uwu-fication/woobification, seme/uke, BAMFs somehow ending up being worse-than-useless in a fight after they fall in love
- Pregnancy
- Any plot that could have been resolved if Character A talked to Character B for five seconds
- Villain/Hero
- Situations where family and friends intervene in a relationship "because they love you and want the best for you"
- Characters having sex when there are clearly more important things to do
- Writing styles:
- First or Second Person PoV
- OCs

- Ship-specific, if you are adding in ship(s):
- Developing Relationship, Established Relationship, UST/slow burn
- Team-as-family with lots of banter
- Atypical expressions of affection, Queerplatonic relationship
- Competency kink, Power Couple
- Injured Character Tries to Hide Their Injuries (Other Character isn't Taking Any of Their Shit When They Find Out)
- Characters only feel safe with each other/can be vulnerable with each other/affectionate towards each other
- Trust, Loyalty, Devotion, Sacrifice
- Writing styles:
- Outsider PoV
- Worldbuilding
- Trope subversion/reversal

DNW (unless canonical reference, in which case please tag):
Happy to see:
I would prefer it if my favourite characters listed below are main characters, and that the fic is either genfic or contain only my preferred ship(s). All other canon characters are welcome as background characters.
1. Dr. STONE - RyuuSen
- Completion status: Up to date with the manga!
- Specific DNWs: explicit sexual content (implied is fine)
- Specific likes: asexual/gay Senkuu, queerplatonic relationships, polyamory with one or more of Senkuu's generals, demonstrations of Senkuu's intelligence, FOR SCIENCE!
- Prompts:
- 5+1 of their relationship as told from the PoVs of others in the Kingdom of Science
- Nobody realised they're into each other because Ryuusui is that affectionate towards everyone and Senkuu doesn't do public displays of affection
- The various forms Ryuusui's greed takes
2. You-Zitsu / CotE - AyaRyuu OR Arisu
- Completion status: Up to date with the light novel!
- Specific DNWs: explicit sexual content involving under-17, Kiyotaka being romantically interested in anyone else (one-sided on their part is fine since that's canon)
- Specific likes: Ice King Ayanokouji, asexual Ayanokouji, queerplatonic relationship, demonstrations of Ayanokouji's intellect, convoluted strategies, Arisu kisukelolz'ing her way through the academy
- Prompts:
- Yet another survival test
- Time travel back to the start of First Year: this time Ryuuen is determined to help Ayanokouji, whatever it takes. Bonus: Ryuuen accidentally lands in the wrong body after the time jump and must now decide if he wants to push Ayanokouji to get together with his old self or take Ayanokouji for his new self. Er, her new self?
- Taking down the White Room
- Best Wingman Arisu
3. Kimetsu no Yaiba - Tanjirou/Giyuu
- Completion status: Finished the manga!
- Specific DNWs: --
- Specific likes: Tanjirou & Nezuko, younger generation dynamics, Tomioka "I've known you for like 5 minutes and I'm ready to commit seppuku for you" Giyuu, the theme of sacrifice
- Prompts:
- Missing scene from the days Tanjirou lived alone with Giyuu in the Water Pillar Estate because he's the only one who got to that stage of the Pillar Training
- Speed eating contests
- Reincarnation
- Pokémon AU whereby the Pillars are Gym Leaders based on the order in which they conduct the Pillar Training
4. The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System - LQG/SQQ OR LQG/LBH/SQQ
- Completion status: Finished the webnovel!
- Specific DNWs: if writing LBH/LQG/SQQ, please make it a happy poly in all 3 directions, please no more rape, no hyper-jealous LBH
- Specific likes: friendship between all the Peak Lords, LQG doesn't know how to express his affection with words, LBH unbending enough to accept LQG into his heart because he's good for Shizun, BAMF SQQ, SQQ fighting with a fan or guqin
- Prompts:
- LQG feeling strange emotions for SQQ while LBH is in the Abyss and later finds out (perhaps from Liu Mingyan?) that he's actually demonstrating courtship behaviour
- The 1,000 times LQG challenged LBH to get SQQ's body back
- All the AUs!
5. Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint - KDJ/YJH
- Completion status: Finished the webnovel!
- Specific DNWs: OOC
- Specific likes: canon terms of endearment e.g. sunfish bastard, Uriel being the BAMF BL fangirl she is, KDJ's insecurities and self-deprecation, YJH's attribute as a pro gamer, KDJ and YJH's banter
- Prompts:
- AU: YJH is a pro gamer in the Glory or Dota 2 scene
- AU: Chatroom-style fic where Pro Gamer YJH is streaming a game and his chat blows up when someone unidentified comes into the room (if his camera is on, the person's head isn't visible; if his camera is on, only the voice can be heard) and does something that can be ambiguously considered "more than just flatmates".
- AU: Marine biologist KDJ x Crab boat captain YJH (i.e. the occupation with the highest fatality rate in the world). Bonus: ft. a rare find of sunfish bellyflopping like manta rays (I know it's not realistic, pls roll with it).
- Canon: KDJ hasn't even figured out YJH doesn't actually want to kill him, much less realise YJH is trying to express affection in a highly awkward manner.
- Canon: A Sub/Personal Scenario (could be from Uriel) that the two of them have to clear. Together.
- Canon, established relationship: Now that they're Life and Death Companions, saying ambiguous things out loud is a really good way of getting sponsorship. KDJ and YJH take full advantage of it. Bonus if the other constellations are driving a really hard bargain (such as forcing a Sub scenario that proceeds further than they're willing to when they have no privacy) and the Demon King of Salvation tries to sponsor YJH to reject it.
- Dokkaebi ads!
- Canon, missing scene: there are so many Main/Personal/Sub scenarios the novel never went into.
- Canon, missing scene: the days/months/years when KDJ was declared dead.
6. Solo Leveling - LZG OR Liu Zhigang & or / Sung Jin-woo
- Completion status: Finished the webnovel!
- Specific DNWs: --
- Specific likes: favourite SL character is LZG because he was secure enough in his pride and masculinity to accept that SJW is more powerful than him, S+-ranked dungeons, shenanigans with SJW's Shadows, okay with polyamory
- Prompts:
- Clearing an S-ranked dungeon. Welcome any other S-ranked Hunter or higher as background characters.
- The Ultimate Power/Battle Couple
- Communication is awkward when you don't speak the same language - but body language is universal. That, and killing monsters.
- The meteoric rise of SJW, as told through the eyes of LZG.
7. Boku no Hero Academia: Vigilantes - Shouta & Oboro & Hizashi
- Completion status: I've never actually read it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Specific DNWs: a focus on romantic/sexual relationships (implied is fine)
- Specific likes: atypical Quirks
- Prompts:
- Shouta and/or Hizashi dealing with the aftermath of Oboro's death
- The three of them learning to use their Quirks and support equipment

- The first time Misaka realises there are people she can trust on her level of power.
- Sogiita being unapologetically extroverted and affectionate and Kamijou being ???? about it (like the princess carry).
- When they realise Kamijou Touma might as well be an erroneously-ranked Level 5 himself given how many Level 5s he's been shown to fight on par with already.
- They go out on a date, and Kamijou's bad luck strikes repeatedly. Sogiita just brushes it off.
