gala_applesIt’s time for 2023’s only Dreamwidth post… my Dear Yuletide Author post!
Hi! Thanks for writing for me. My Things I Like lists tend to be pretty long but I hope they're not obnoxiously so. Rifle through and pluck out the bits that sound interesting :)
In general: I'd rather have an in character conversation/world build than an unoffensive conversation/world build. This probably goes mostly for Rocky Horror, but I mean it for any of the fandoms. Misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, if the characters would face it, write it. Two of my three fandoms this year have on screen drug use (and you can’t tell me that Frank wouldn’t get Brad and Janet high as soon as he could). Having done a bunch of things in my late teens, I have a huge squick for drug inaccuracies. Erowid.org is a great resource with trip reports and instructions if you need it.
I see life through very queer glasses. I automatically go to poly, then two-person-slash, then gen, then het. I'd really rather a genfic than a focus on paired heterosexual romance. And if you do write a slash or poly fic, I'm down with any rating. From essentially gen where they call each other boyfriend but don't even hold hands to 1k of fucking, I'm good.
If you do aim for a higher rating, I quite like nearly any kink. Some of my favourites are makeshift bondage (like ties or clothes pushed half off to restrict movement) public teasing into being turned on, making people blush, dirty talk, marks of ownership (not necessarily hardcore like collaring, though that's great, having a bracelet to wear or a string of hickies work too) drunk/high sex, BDSM, and overstimulation. But really, if you wanted to go for any kink I'd be happy. My only limit is no guro/vore.
Note: massages are a trigger of mine. It's really upsetting to read them. I'm okay with dub-con (whether due to manipulation or intoxication), but straight up non-con is not enjoyable. I also have phobias of fire/burning alive, stuff happening to eyeballs or teeth, and condiments.
More specifically:
The Bastard Son and the Devil Himself: I love the world building of this show, but most of all I love my canon ship. I need Nathan and Annalise and Gabriel to live relatively happily ever after as a poly trio. Need it. Jessica and Mercury can fuck right off, and so can the Fairborn and the Blood witches, Nathan and Annalise and Gabriel deserve a happy ending. Which isn’t to say I don’t appreciate how much PTSD they’re going to have after all of this. They’re all orphans in very different brutal ways, and exiles from whom they used to consider their people. They need each other!
I love Annalise and Gabriel dancing together, and their confidence in the other to get tasks accomplished when push comes to shove. I love the wild sexual tension between Nathan and Gabriel, and Nathan being pushy enough that Gabriel can remember him, when it matters. I love Annalise and Nathan being confused teenagers together. I love what they’ve all done for each other, and how they’re each other’s awakenings, sexually and emotionally and morally. At the end of ep 6 I was a skeptic oft-scorned poly shipper, loving them both with Nathan and wishing shows would be brave enough to solve love triangles with poly. AND THEN THEY FUCKING DID. THEY ALL SAID I LOVE YOU AND FORCED EACH OTHER TO SURVIVE AND DARED TO IMAGINE TAKE OUT TOGETHER AND I FUCKING MELTED.
I love Gabriel’s permanently stained fingers, and the jewelry, and dyed hair. The way he pretends gruffness, but loves so deeply, and I know he rescued that poor child from Mercury. I love Annalise splattered in blood, and Ceelia helping her figure out how to use decimation in other ways. What career she could build from it, preventing drug overdoses and removing poisons and tumours. Does Nathan eat the heart, and what does it mean if he does? In equal parts I crave a happy future years fic, and a first threesome and Nathan losing his virginity to Gabriel as Annalise loves them both fic. Dear author, I just need them together.
Sex Education: Updated include my season four feelings. Of which there are many. I requested Adam-centric fic because I love his growth over the seasons. As much as I enjoy smut fic, this fandom is a great gen fandom for me because I just want Adam to be happy in his day to day life.
I love that he found such a perfect career. When I was a child I had a lot of inner ear problems and took therapeutic horseback riding as balance therapy. I loved my teacher, and riding, and couldn’t agree more with the soothing feeling thst comes from hugging a horse. And grooming. I loved grooming a horse, using the pick on their feet and brushing them with a curry comb. I just want Adam surrounded by dogs, and horses, and kids that trust him, who he can model kind authority to.
Adam also means a lot to me because I have a rough relationship with my mother. Adam calling out mr groff for not actually liking him, only for Mr groff to apologize and attempt to rebuild something better… that was a significant theme of my 20s. I felt unloved as a teenager, and found a hands career in childcare, supporting little ones to feel constantly safe. I honestly can’t think of something better for Adam.
I’m not fully sold on Adam/Jem as a ship. I never got more than friends vibes from them, plus I’m not super into the power dynamics of dating your boss. I’d love a future queerplatonic bffs thing for them. Which isn’t to say I necessarily do Adam/Eric endgame either. Could Adam one day come across Eric’s church, and they rekindle their relationship now that they’re both satisfied adults who know who they are? Hell yeah, that’d be cool. But maybe there’s a single father taking his kid to riding lessons that Adam asks out for coffee. Or maybe he’s in a happy throuple, where he always feels respected and listened to. Canon character or OC, I just want him to be loved.
Other little things I love from the canon: Adam not being able to make eye contact when he can’t think. His trashy reality show addiction. His friendship with Ola. His canonically big dick. That he enjoyed wearing makeup. His chronic wearing of dirty clothing. His preference for bottoming. His occasional poem writing.
Rocky Horror Picture Show: I’d love a fix it for the bummer ending of the movie. (I am aware that Shock Treatment exists as a sequel, but I prefer not to acknowledge it). Give me an AU where Riff Raff and Magenta never kill Frank, and Brad and Janet stay and luxuriate in debauchery in the castle. Or where Frank resurrects, because all the citizens of Transylvania do, and they find themselves running into each other again, even years later. I love the idea of Brad and Janet with their morals and desires shaken to the core having to go back to Denton and live for a time grappling with their new sexualities in suburban hell before they break free once again. Rose Tint My World has always been my favourite song, Brad and Janet feeling sexy and powerfully horny in corsets and stockings, defying society, had a profound effect on my queer teenage outlook on life.
