Oct. 1st, 2021 06:02 pmDear Femslashex Author,
Thank you for writing me a fic for one of these lovely femslash pairings! I'm![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
regshoe on AO3. I've written a little bit below about why I love these fandoms and ships, and given some prompts, but if you have a different idea you'd love to write then go ahead—I'll look forward to seeing whatever you come up with!
Some general likes: A strong sense of place; relationships between characters and places; descriptions of nature; birds; historical detail; magic and the supernatural, especially otherworldly fairy-folklorish stuff; ghosts and hauntings.
In shipfic I like:
—Characters finding comfort and a sense of rest in each other, especially amidst a hostile world or plot-related struggles; a sense that the characters are 'each other's people'
—Loyalty: characters who are unfailingly loyal to each other; characters facing conflicting loyalties, or struggling to choose between their existing loyalties and their feelings for another character
—Characters who are emotionally closed-off, defensively cynical after getting hurt in the past, a little too self-reliant, etc., opening up emotionally as they slowly come to trust another character. Learning to love, and learning to be loved
—Hurt/comfort! Characters seeing the person they love get hurt and realising how much they care about them, or revealing their feelings in their reaction; characters receiving comfort and realising how much they're loved
—Quietly significant physical intimacy: handholding, long hugs, cuddling, hair-stroking, that thing where one character sits in a chair and the other curls up on the floor and rests their head on the first character's knee
Do Not Wants: Graphic violence or body horror; explicit sex (implied/fade-to-black is fine); rape; AUs that place the characters in a different setting (canon divergence is fine, as is adding supernatural/fantasy elements to a mundane canon setting); infidelity; poly ships that add unrequested characters to my requested ships
A note: I realise several of the characters here are in canon ships that conflict with the ones I'm requesting. I would rather not receive either infidelity or unrequested poly ships, but otherwise deal with canon love interests however you like—ignore them entirely, write an AU where they were only ever friends, say they broke up, kill them off offstage, etc. A few more specific suggestions in the prompts.
All requests are for fic.
( Fandoms are Jill - E. A. Dillwyn, Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers, Return to Night - Mary Renault and Crossover: Sir Isumbras at the Ford - D. K. Broster/The Yellow Poppy - D. K. Broster )
