Green Ajah recruitment ✨

Bizarre anecdote that's tangentially related to this poll I posted earlier, because it involves art/fiction that reflects your own experiences:

I was once called blah-blah-phobic because I listed certain topics in the Do Not Want section of a Dear Creator Letter. Which, if you're not familiar with Dear Creator Letters and DNWs, they're typically used for gift exchanges. In other words‚ I listed something I personally did not want to receive as a gift because I find it upsetting. And I explained it like, "this is something I experience and I would prefer not to get gifts related to it."

But, of course, some troublemaker who I didn't even know interpreted that as me somehow hating all people in the groups that I belong to?? And then they started going around discord servers and shit telling people I was blah-blah-phobic. I guess we're only allowed to have personal preferences that no one else will ever disagree with 🫠

Needless to say, that was the last time I participated in a gift exchange.

Dear Fiends and Fangs Author/Artist,

Thank you so much for reading this and participating in this monster-loving celebration! It’s been a long time since I participated in a fandom event. I’m so excited, and I wish us all the best! This is going to be fun!

First of all, many thanks to our lovely moderators @fiendsandfangs 💜

Rest assured, if you’re reading this and you’ve been paired with me, anything you do will be utterly amazing and received with the fullest thanks and an open heart.

Below is a list of my requested fandoms and pairings, just guides. I would be delighted with any monster love story you wish to write.

Thank you again, I can’t wait to see what you come up with!! <3

Reading Preferences:

I’m open to reading any genre, any tone, any rating. I’ll read everything from fluffy silliness to dark fic - I’m open to any tone. I like pretty much any trope, but the core of all the stories I love has always been character interaction. I usually prefer third person to first person pov, but if first is your thing, go for it!

Please avoid a/b/o, water-sports and scat kinks. Other than that, I’m open to receiving anything. I’d love art, a drabble, a small ficlet, one-shot, or small chaptered story if you’re feeling prolific - I know sometimes an idea takes hold, and you just have to run with it, and that’s okay!

I’m open to treats from anyone participating, if they are so inclined. If anything below grabs you, feel free to use it alongside your fulfilment - however, don’t burn yourself out, and most importantly, have fun!

Fandoms:

Legacy of Kain:

I’m not expecting any fellow F&F creators to be fans of this old and niche little vampire/demon gothic-fantasy videogame. Although it has enjoyed a little renaissance of late, due to the recent comic Kickstarter, and the beautiful remaster of the original Soul Reaver series, so there may be one or two of my fellow LoK fans here.

If so, you know how starved we are of content! Any content! You could even write it fandom-blind and I’d be thrilled!

I’ll leave my anons on -(please don’t make me regret this, tumblr)- during the run up to the reveals, so you can anonymously ask any question you like about the characters. I do not judge. Legacy of Kain is a long and complicated tale, with lots of time-jumps, back and forth. I suggest making a slice of life/in-between years/or complete AU - the most important thing is character.

And there are so many delicious monsters in LoK for you to choose from. Here are a few:

Kain - if you know Kain, you know he doesn’t like to lose. He will always choose to keep playing the game, he never folds. He’s always one step ahead, and will keep playing until he gets everything he wants. He doesn’t care who or what he has to hurt to get it. And he will get it… eventually, he’s a patient man (rumour has it, he may have access to a time-streaming device, so he might not wait as long as you think he does, ie he cheats).

Zephon - One of Kain’s vampire offspring, often written gender-fluid, I have no preference! I’m looking for Zephon's personality. Zephon has a chip on their shoulder (especially about their older brother, Raziel), with all the stereotypical fiery aspects that usually get attributed to those lucky, beautiful redheads. Zephon strikes me as being a bit of a trickster.

Following this challenge/exchange's rules, Zephon can be written in Vampire or their devolved, monstrous spider-like form. It could be a drider form, or something far more unsettling, like how they appeared in the game. Either way, someone is going to fall into their web. Zephon may also have a breeding kink which could involve binding and eggs.

Rahab - calling all mer-fans! Also, sometimes any gender, but canonically male, Rahab went to extraordinary lengths to overcome a vampire’s weakness to water. In Legacy of Kain, most vampires will burn up like they’ve been swimming in acid, but Rehab gradually introduced themselves to it little by little, until they were not only immune, but evolved gills. Rahab remains the only one of Kain’s offspring that evolved past the sire, gained an ability that Kain doesn’t have, and got away with it. On the contrary, Rahab most likely did it on Kain’s orders. They’re loyal to a fault, and was probably used horribly by Kain because of it. For F&F exchange rules, Rahab can be written as a Vampire, or their devolved, sea-monster, fully finned-up-Mer-vamp form. Stay out of the water!!

The Elder God - think multi-eyed, tentacled, squid-like, omnipresent eldritch-horror, with the deepest, booming voice you’ve ever heard, and you’ve already nailed it. He wants to consume your soul. Or make you his plaything. It’s the opposite of ‘Until Death’; he’s more of a ‘from death to an eternity’ kind of guy. Big dom energy.

Raziel - oh, Raziel! My dearest heart. The prodigal son, eldest and favourite offspring of Kain. As a vampire, he is haughty and spoilt. He doesn’t remember his past, none of them do. He’s so incredibly loyal to Kain, until the opening of Soul Reaver, of course (lolz!). I like writing and reading him as a dom, switch or the brattiest bottom. But since the OC must be human, please write a dom Raziel, maybe a little dub-con; remember, humans were kept little more than cattle, held in the dungeons for enjoyment during Kain’s vampire reign.

As a wraith, also Kain’s creation, I like to think of Raziel as a tortured soul, who ironically survives on others’… erm, souls. I don’t believe he’s inherently evil. I wish him kindness and tenderness after spending an eternity burning at the bottom of the Lake of the Dead, poor love. He's a tool of the Elder God, used and manipulated at every turn by everyone. He must desperately need a day off.

He’s curious, and usually ignores humans, but beware! You can fall under his thrall, and if he is low on energy, he will sip your soul - I wrote a short nsfw piece inspired by that game mechanic. Take a look if you’d like a peek at the type of stuff I like.

Original Human Character(s) - can be anyone and identify as anyone. Take a favourite oc from somewhere else and use them, or write a self or reader-insert. I don’t mind what you do, what kind of story you’d like to tell or picture you’d like to create. You can let your imagination go wild!

Bottom line: I would be thrilled with anything, anyone, any pairing from the Legacy of Kain fandom.

The Elder Scrolls:

Soltha Sil - I have a weakness for this man. He’s one of those characters who doesn’t live a linear existence, so he already knows his fate. Annoyingly, he’ll do nothing to prevent it. As an all-knowing god, he’s both sexy and horrific at the same time. He’ll either love you, turn you into one of his clockwork abominations, or both. He’d say something cryptic like how he’s a ‘mirror, anything they want him to be’ - so yeah, go mad. I do like my stories to be slightly on the dark side.

Hermaeus Mora - another omnipresent eldritch horror. Only he’s more softly spoken than LoK’s Elder God. I would love a dream in Apocrypha. Avoiding the seekers, of course. Let’s just try not to spend an eternity there, okay? Stay awake!

I didn’t include Teldryn Sero in the nomination lists!! - Oh, whhhyyyy?? I'm not sure what happened there; I meant to. Anyway, I won’t be mad if someone wanted to write or draw a Teldryn piece for me.

I also forgot ESO’s Razum-dar. Because I’m dumb, that’s why. (Honestly, I wouldn’t mind him, either).

Oh, and my favourite deadric prince is Sanguine. :)

Original Human character - I only asked for a human Nord OC because there was no room for multiple TES human races in the pairings. I would also gratefully accept Imperial, Redguard or Breton, if that’s more your thing. Whatever, or whoever, you are most comfortable writing or drawing. I will love anything you do.

Mass Effect:

Saran Arterius - I’ve got a massive thing for turians, bad guys and enemy-to-lovers. I don’t mind a little dub con. I like dark fics. I also love hurt/comfort, so the ‘I’m injured but, you’re the only one here I could turn to, there’s only one bed, dynamics are golden here. Switch it up top or bottom, either side. Can be fluffy, ‘nobody gets me but you’, or straight up hate-sex, anything in that vein would be delicious.

The Thorian - if you’d like to write a Thorian fic for me, please make it weird. Plant alien the size of a planet in your mind with tendrils kinda weird. Does the thorian put you in a pod? Or just use their feelers? How do they charm you with their spores? Is it subtle or something more immediate and for how long?

The above are my absolute favourites but I am I’m happy to receive works from other fandoms, such as Starwars, Halo and Resident Evil. If you’re stuck for a specific prompt, send me an ask.

I hope all of this helps!

Thank you again for reading, participating and happy writing/drawing! I’m sure I’ll love anything you’d like to create, regardless.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to me on anon - the askbox is open! I’ll keep it under wraps and not post responses too, if you ask me too. Anything you need.

Plus, if you’re reading this and you’ve got this far thinking ‘holy shit, I’d love to participate’ then please do! You can find the sign up details here. Sign ups are open until 17th August!

Good luck and have fun! 💜✨

Dear Creator Letter (rarepair event):

I haven't done this style of exchange before, so I hope this is useful to you folks!

I generally prefer fics about either getting together, or facing an outside conflict together. I'm not a fan of plots that feature almost breaking up due to interpersonal conflicts. If they almost break up due to an outside force (e.g. a third party is trying to push one into a political marriage, someone is kidnapped, that sort of thing), then it's fine, but I don't like 'well, you work too much and it's really putting a strain on the relationship' type stuff. Speedbumps on the way to the relationship are fine, though.

Tropes I enjoy or am open to:

Time-travel

No Order 66/Fix-it

Outsider POV

Working with/around each other's PTSD with each other

Raising children together

Arranged/political marriage

Epistolary elements (not the whole fic)

Hurt/Comfort (NOT whump)

Space OSHA and Space Paperwork and Space Logistics

When the Force does something really weird

When the Jedi blame Mortis (or Morai) for the Force doing something really weird

I enjoy pretty much any kind of gender play, including:

Character is now Nonbinary

Trans (in the direction of canon)

Trans (in the direction opposite canon)

Questioning/Experimenting

Fluid

Magic sex swaps of the 'woke up with my body a different reproductive setup, am learning the meaning of gender euphoria' variety

Whatever the hell Ranma 1/2 technically is

I do like AUs of all sorts, so long as the core of the character is intact, with vibes to match. This includes:

Modern - chill bakery/coffee shop/bookstore/beekeeper stuff - classy criminal playing cat and mouse with the FBI agent trying to catch them - 'oh no, you're my teenager's English teacher and this parent-teacher conference just got very awkward because we started dating over the summer before I knew' - one of them is a celebrity - literally just whatever

Historical Fantasy (mostly for the fashion and/or if the author gets really invested in things like trade routes and agricultural pressures and inane tax law)

History AU but only if you go the Bridgerton route of Fun And Funky Tropes Without The Racism

Royal Fantasy

Soulmate

Role Swap (does not have to be between the ship!)

Backstory swap (e.g. Never a Jedi AU, Raised a Sith AU, Senator of Tatooine AU, etc.)

For Want of a Nail

Faustian Castle AU

Fusion crossovers, like: - Leverage AU - Enchanted (2007) AU - Miraculous Ladybug - Naruto - Girl Genius by Phil and Kaja Foglio (this is incredibly niche, ignore if you're not super into it already)

Regarding my unwanted list

Basic ship things:

No Barr*ssoka.

I do not care about cloneshipping, but would prefer it be in the background if it's there at all.

I do not mind CodyWan, but would prefer it be in the background if it's there at all.

No Master/Padawan. I have exceptions when reading, but for an exchange, I'd prefer not to have any in my gift.

While I do love poly, please stick to the ships requested for the main ship. (If there are two or more that have overlapping characters, though, feel free to smush them together, e.g. Jango/Ahsoka and Ahsoka/Quinlan are on there, so Jango/Ahsoka/Quinlan would be fine)

Basic character/setting things:

No character bashing.

The whole Anakin/Consequences movement is one that I dislike immensely. If you don't know what it is, you're probably not doing it. If you do know what it is, then you know what I mean here.

It is very common/popular to write Qui-Gon as a neglectful, cold, or downright abusive caregiver/parent figure to the children in his care. I do not like this in the slightest.

For some reason, a lot of writers are very casual about violating a character's bodily autonomy "for their own good." I don't like this (unless it's horror, but that's a different topic), and ask that you refrain from having characters do something like that for a character's own good unless there are some massive extenuating circumstances.

I'm pro-Jedi and pro-New Mandos. I do not want anything that suggests they: - deserved what happened to them - needed to change or learn to accept more militant values/that attachment is good - were stealing/brainwashing children or engaging in cultural genocide

That said, I'm fine with Jedi choosing to leave the Order if given a reason to. (e.g. Obi-Wan deciding to stay on Melida/Daan because the Force insisted he should Because Reasons is fine)

I do like the True Mandos but please don't lionize them.

I have minimal interest in the Original Trilogy and no interest in the Sequels; my mind is squarely in the Prequels and pre-canon era. - That said, I do delight in having baby versions of the characters present; I am always open to toddler Skywalker twins cameo. - I'm not very into the Bad Batch. Cameos are fine.

Basic vibe things:

I do not want PWP, and figured it's easier to just do a blanket "no thanks" on smut and kink than try to navigate the details.

I am not a fan of sexual tension being the primary driver of the romance. I'm on the ace spectrum myself, and it always rings false to me.

If you write Rebellion/OT setting versions of the ships, please don't go hard on the clones being Old.

As much as I love a/b/o, I do not want it here, thank you.

Also not super into folkore AUs or vampire/werewolf AUs.

Self-explanatory DNW:

incest (cloneshipping is fine)

minor/adult ships - age difference of less than three years is fine - major age difference where both are adults is fine

reader insert

Lower body fluids (talking about blood or saliva is fine; excrement is not)

Sick fic (injury recovery is fine) IDK I just get nothing out of most sick fic

Non-canon Dark Histories meant only to make someone more sympathetic or pitiable (e.g. especially Rape as Backstory)

Downer endings (includes breakups that are not resolved)

Particularly dark topics, including: - Noncon - major character death (I'm fine with "Tarkin died and that sure is impacting the war" but "the main character's younger sister just died and the plot revolves around the grief" is a bit much) - underage sexual content - adultery/infidelity - whump - unresolved terminal illness - suicide - self-harm - domestic abuse - child abuse

ABOUT THE SHIPS (Favorite ships are bolded)

These are not prompts! These are just me trying to explain why/how I ship them, and the vibes I usually go for.

Ships I've enjoyed in theory or in fic, in both canon and weird AUs:

Anakin Skywalker/Cody I'm a huge fan of Anakin really, really wanting to impress Cody, and Cody being very hard to impress, but easily amused by Anakin's attempts. They're as close to equals as a clone and a natborn can be, and I think there's a lot to be explored with them.

Rex/Asajj Ventress Rex also does not want to be doing what he is doing. This crush is a terrible idea but holy shit he's doing it anyway. Ventress is fascinated by him despite herself.

Padme Amidala/Asajj Ventress: Padme "I can fix her" Amidala and Asajj "what is wrong with you do you not have a sense of self-preservation" Ventress

Barriss Offee/Anakin Skywalker Did you know they're only two years apart in canon? I like to imagine their hypothetical interactions during or after the war, when Barriss is either on her way to a Fall (cynical and losing faith, but not yet there) or recovering/on parole and learning to trust in the Force again, while Anakin is... basically on that same journey, but a few years ahead. He's already had his big horrible moment on Tatooine, and he relates to her in ways most of her peers can't.

Anakin Skywalker/Bo-Katan Kryze They are nightmare children to their respective older siblings and I adore them.

Shmi Skywalker/Mace Windu I haven't seen this ship before but I saw it in the tags list and I am Intrigued. Stepdad Mace is definitely fun, or we can always go with a "new bio dad for Ani" AU.

Jango Fett/Shmi Skywalker Two characters who are canonically defined by their parenthood (Shmi only exists because of Darth Vader's role in the OT; Jango only exists because of Boba's) but have been given more personality and backstory by extended canon, and I just. They have some very mixed up Traumas and Ethics. Shmi would have so many opinions on his actions. But also there is room for another bio-dad for Ani thing, if you want.

Qui-Gon Jinn/Jaster Mereel I haven't really seen this ship but I want to imagine them running into each other during the Obitine Year on the Run and just being Grumpy Old Men about having to pretend they don't notice the teenagers sneaking off for suspiciously long firewood gathering trips.

Anakin Skywalker/Torrent Company ...listen. IDK what to say about this. Anakin just really wants to make it up to his men for being in this situation. It's not a healthy dynamic and is driven at least partly by guilt.

Satine Kryze/Quinlan Vos Haven't read it before but HEY just be nice to Satine and I'll probably enjoy it.

Satine Kryze/Asajj Ventress Please just imagine Satine being a disciplinary partner who's teaching Ventress how to be a better person but they have to be really weird about it so that Ventress doesn't spook and run off because people are being Too Nice to her.

Jango Fett/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Satine Kryze POLITICAL NONSENSE AT ITS FINEST

Quinlan Vos/Obi-Wan Kenobi This is technically one of my OTPs but there's enough of it around that I'm not bothered if it's skipped. IDK why but I default to one of them being a trans dude for this ship more often than not.

Luminara Unduli/Obi-Wan Kenobi I think they'd be very chill and that Luminara is so calm and nice and polite that when she does make a snippy comment about a rude senator or something, Obi-Wna is the only one that gets it and he is delighted by the quiet sass.

Luminara Unduli/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Quinlan Vos Mix of the above, with an added dash of "one of us is masquerading as the brain cell but we're actually all here for the chaos."

Feemor/Shmi Skywalker I'd never heard of it until I saw the tag in this exchange but it looks like A LOT of fun.

Padme Amidala/Obi-Wan Kenobi/Satine Kryze Political shenanigans and extensive sass.

Jango Fett/Quinlan Vos I haven't really touched on them outside of a poly situation before, but I Wish To Hear More.

Open to age difference (as long as both are adults) OR time-travel:

Cody/Shmi Skywalker Listen to me. Listen. I think Cody would adore a woman who is calm and capable and worldly without being cynical or superpowered or mean. She's just very pragmatic and down to earth and kind and I think Cody would find that comforting. Meanwhile, Cody is also pragmatic, but he's the kind of capable that covers Shmi's own unskilled areas (primarily combat), that doesn't try to ignore or over-pity her history as a slave, and is capable of dealing with her superpowered child without being overwhelmed by the Force Abilities.

Anakin Skywalker/Mace Windu With an age difference at play, this is just... an explosion of Anakin's daddy issues, and Mace just humoring those issues, where Anakin is really into him but also really angry about it. Yes he wants to impress Mace. Yes he is also a little dedicated to pissing Mace off. It's complicated. (Please have Anakin being at least 23 if they've got an age difference of over a decade on.) Without the age difference, it's still the daddy issues, except this time Mace doesn't know what the hell he did to earn Anakin's complicated feelings.

Anakin Skywalker/Luminara Unduli I like the idea of Luminara being interested in a guy who is so totally the polar opposite of her. She doesn't want to fix him, but wants to be around him, and wants to be around that fire and passion, even if she has to rein him in once in a while. Anakin, meanwhile, finds her a genuinely calming presence, and the smiles and touches she graces him with when he does something difficult have him wanting to make her proud.

Bo-Katan Kryze/Ahsoka Tano NGL I'm mostly invested in either time-travel where Bo-Katan is inexplicably obsessed with a significantly more martial Jedi than the average, or canon timeline where the two of them are regularly coming to each other for comfort or help in the aftermath of RotS.

I primarily engage with these ships through time-travel or other AUs, as they are from different parts or generations of canon:

Jango Fett/Ahsoka Tano I've written so many time-travel fics about these two and all I can say is that I love Jango being reluctantly in love with a Jedi, because he shouldn't like her (either because Galidraan already happened and he's angry about it, or Galidraan hasn't happened but he's Mando and she's Jedi), while Ahsoka has some Conflicted Feelings about Jango because of the clones.

Ahsoka Tano/Quinlan Vos Fuck yeah, spies.

Dear Author

There’s an incest ficathon starting up and I want to participate. This space will serve as my “Dear Author” letter once I get to that point.

In the meanwhile, you should all sign up, too!

Pretty much any incest pairing is welcome.

Hello Author!

Thank you so much for signing up to write for the ficathon! I am so happy you got assigned me. I hope you can find something fun to write (or draw!) for me. 

 First and foremost, I am a big brother/little sister fiend so if you write anything sexy/romantic with a big brother and a little sister, I should be pretty happy. I also like twins a lot, but like the brother twin to be older. I gave several scenarios in my sign up for my Luke/Leia(/Han) and Percy/Ginny desires, but the sign up for Original Work was a little weird since I didn’t participate in the nomination period. I selected a few offered pairings that sounded interesting to me but that don’t totally line up with the scenarios I listed on my sign up page. If you have some big brother/little sister scenario in mind when you signed up, feel free to write that tailored to my likes/wants. If you’re more open to picking one of my ideas, go for it. And if you want to mix and match ideas or whatever, feel free to do that. I am just excited to see what you do.

Since my sign up letter had scenarios, instead here I am going to talk more about my likes, dislikes, wants and Do Not Wants.

Likes: big brother/little sister incest, twins OR large age gaps (5+ years), 14-18 y/o little sisters, pregnancy, lactation, cumming inside her vagina, fantasy cervix play/penetration, hardcore sex, introspection, character moments, true love/destiny, love-against-all-odds, cottagecore/curtains fic, happily ever after, angst-with-happy-ending, fantasy or scifi fantasy scenarios, plotty stories with explicit sex scenes.

Dislikes: big sister/little brother, cheating on spouses, anal sex (unless it’s DP with the brother’s dick in the sister’s vagina), oral sex (both BJs and cunnilingus; you can write it, I’m just not very into it), cumming anywhere but inside her vagina (unless it’s a plot point), unrequited love (unless it gets happily resolved), evil/dark characters (unless they turn good), rape/noncon, bitchy/bossy/bratty little sisters, all romance no sex, step-siblings.

Wants: These are my biggest wants, but please only do them if you’re comfortable writing them. True love brother/sister incest that results in pregnancy (or more). 14-year-old little sister if it’s not Leia. Happy endings. Explicit sex scenes.

Do Not Want: Please do not include these if at all possible. Cheating on a spouse/partner (just say they broke up), death of the brother or the sister (excluding supernatural stuff), rape/noncon, anal/oral sex, big sister/little brother, unrequited incest, step-siblings.

Feel free to message me if you have any specific questions. I know that can ruin the surprise, but I want it to be an option for you!

Thank you so much!!

[temari-i-i]

Dear Creator letter for @narutofemslashexchange (finally. I forgot for like 3 weeks in a row)

FAVORITE PAIRINGS:

- I’m really down for anything but especially ships with Temari! I have a special place in my heart for Temari/Sakura and Temari/Tayuya. Poly ships are also more than ok with me so go absolutely hog wild

- My favorite pairings that I’ve never seen anyone but me make content for are Tayuya/Temari and Kurenai/Konan so do with that what you will 

LIKES:

- Fluff I love fluff 

- Actually fluff is second only to h/c. I am a hurt/comfort person at heart and nothing will make me cry faster 

- fix-it AUs are my domain 

DISLIKES:

- Solid angst/sad ending/gratuitous sadness with no conclusion 

- Emetophobia is a big no 

That’s about it tbh
