REQUESTING GUIDE
READ: You need to pick one of these in your request, do not send me requests like "character x reader, I don't care what it is, I'm happy with anything!", also requests like "character x reader, the actual plot is up to you, but please just make it fluffy" fall under this.
Also, if you want to send me multiple requests, you're welcome to! But send each request in their own ask!
REMEMBER TO BE POLITE WHEN YOU REQUEST, I feel uncomfortable to fill requests worded like "you should write this scenario" or "write me a ficlet where character is crushing on reader and reader rejects him because they think he's just playing with their feelings". It's much more pleasant to fill requests like "hi, can you please write a ficlet where the character and reader are best friends and reader gets kidnapped by the antagonist, and character rescues them? Thank you!"

THE TRADITIONAL FIC TYPES
These have been around since digital dinosaurs still roamed the budding reader insert community.
Regular imagines/ficlets. Requires a medium sized scenario. May be long, may be short, I write it for as long as the prompt carries me, but it rarely exceeds 1k words. Also please note, if you want me to write something that's kinda an "extra scene" into canon, it may kinda feel "unfinished" because we already know what happens in canon. This will have 500-1000 words. THIS IS MY FIRST DEFAULT SETTING FOR REQUESTS THAT DON'T HAVE A SPECIFICTION FOR FIC TYPE.
Example: Could you write an imagine where Kurt Wagner (from newer X-Men) gets insecure when he sees another guy flirting with you?
Blurbs. Always under 500 words, a very simple scenario. First kiss with character, saving character's life, [group] arranges you a surprise birthday party. THIS IS MY SECOND DEFAULT SETTING FOR REQUESTS THAT DON'T HAVE A SPECIFICTION FOR FIC TYPE.
Example: Could you write a blurb about how would Steve Harrington (Stranger Things) react to reader unexpectedly kissing him?
Oneshots. Longer pieces, always 1k+ words, often containing multiple scenes, they also need a larger/longer request or else I will ask you to elaborate (but please keep only one plot, no subplots, and preferably not anything that's like "they slowly fall in love and x and y and z happens, and also this and that*", as that would work as a multichapter more than a oneshot, and I don't write multichapters by request). Please also note that oneshots are my least favourite request type to write, so if you send in multiple requests, please do not make them all oneshots.
*This basically means that the plot timeline in the oneshot needs to fit within a few days rather than weeks/months/years, unless the beginning of it is a flashback.
Example: Could you write a Pin Hawthorne x reader oneshot? Reader is feeling really down because they have seen Pin and Zoe getting close. They try to do their job at the stable, but keep snapping at everyone because they're so on the edge. Pin then attempts to offer comfort and a listening ear, but reader keeps pushing him away and they have a fight about it, because reader lies to Pin that they've gotten sick of him and cuts off their friendship. But a few days later, they talk again and it ends up in them admitting their feelings for each other.
Headcanons. Small situation, e.g. dating [character], min. 10 bullet points, could get up to around 50 bullet points.
Example: Could you write headcanons on how Katniss Everdeen (Hunger Games) would take care of you when you are sick?
Preferences. Add a small situation, e.g. sibling!reader or their child!reader crying after they got bullied and how [specify 2-10 characters within the same fandom] do in such a situation. Note that you need to specify the characters by names, so "Gotham Villains", "Grishaverse main characters" or "the boys from The Maze Runner movies" no longer qualify. You need to say which Gotham villains, which Grishaverse characters, which TMR boys. Otherwise I could leave your fave(s) out because I don't remember to include them or I just assume you don't want them because they're a smaller character. Remember that if you have more than 10 characters you want me to include, you're welcome to send in another ask with the rest of them and I'm kinda doing it in two parts. Note that they may have a long time in between them, so I'd recommend including your absolute faves in your first ask if you're going to send in 2 or more.
Example: Could you do a MCU preference with Steve, Loki, Thor, Carol, Natasha and Peter Parker where they comfort you after you got a panic attack?
Continuation parts (part 2's and part 3's). In asks, link the piece you want me to write another part for unless it's obvious which piece you mean (I've gotten part 2 requests that are like "could you write a part 2 for that one character fic where reader realises they have a crush on the character and the feeling is mutual" and I rack my brain wondering which piece is it for because I have written 15 fics for that character and in 8 of them, the theme is unresolved romantic tension, so a link is the easiest way) + a plot for it, note that if I feel like any kind of continuation parts would possibly even ruin part 1 (like so many sequels for movies that had had a perfect ending prior to that sequel), I will turn it down.
I do not write continuation parts from "part 2 for this fic please" nor I do a part 2 out of my prompt list prompts, I need an actual plot/a scenario for it! (Also another reminder, I do not take requests through replies, part 2 requests must be sent through asks) Also please look at the timestamp of the fic you're about to ask a sequel for because I'm more likely to turn it down if that fic is older than 2 years old. You can try to poke me with a sequel request with older stuff too, but just remember that I might feel like I've grown out of that idea/writing mindset and the sequel might not feel like it fits part 1, in which case I'll turn it down.
Please note that I'm willing to write part 2's and part 3's, but any more than that won't happen.
PROMPT FICS (nearly never over 1k words, rarely even over 500 words)
With these fic types, you're not allowed to state any kind of plot. If you wish me to write something short with a plot, request a regular imagine and tell me that you wish it to be short.
Note: You can request a female reader if you don't want it to be gender neutral as I write gn readers if not asked to write them a female, and you're also allowed to state if you want the fic being platonic or romantic + if you want reader to be a part of a group or a member of a canon family (reader will always be adopted in that case, twin!readers get turned down), but NO actual plot.
Note 2: These are the kind that are a slice of life, a peek, and often don't have a full storyline so they can be left open ended. Please note that when requesting.
Prompt list fics (meant for people who either don't have any ideas but want to request or for people who want to be surprised. You send me a prompt from one of my prompt lists + character + fandom. And as a clarification, don’t add any kind of an additional plot or scenario, I will cook it up on my own!! Note that you are allowed to also make up your own dialogue/word/setting/hug/kiss etc prompt, just don't steal it from anyone else's prompt list, I'll find out if you've stolen it)
Example: Could you do B62. “I have always loved you.” + Robin Buckley?
Song fics (character + fandom + song, don’t add any kind of an additional plot or scenario, I will figure it out on my own!! I'll write a piece based on that song. You can request a female reader if you don't want it to be gender neutral as I write gn readers if not asked to write them as female)
Example: Could you do a song drabble for Jerome Valeska + I'm So Sorry by Imagine Dragons?
Shuffle songs (choose this if you're truly ok with absolutely anything: my music playlist decides the song, you decide the character! Just request "[Character] + [Fandom] + shuffle song please!" I'll take my playlist containing all the songs I've saved, put it on a shuffle and write a piece based on the first song that comes up. And again, you can request a female reader if you don't want me to write them as gn, as gn reader is my default, and you can also specify whether you want an angst song or a fluffy song, or leave it unspecified to get a complete surprise)
Example: Could you do Dick Grayson (Titans) + shuffle song?
Timestamp fics (a character + time, e.g. [character] + 2:46pm, the piece will be placed at that time of day/night, don’t add a plot, you can request a female reader if you don't want it to be gender neutral as I write gn readers if not asked to write them/her a female)
Example: Could you do Beth Harmon + 10:42am?
Title fics (a title you made up + character, e.g. [character] + “Don't Look”, the piece will be inspired by the title somehow, don’t add a plot, you can request a female reader if you don't want it to be gender neutral as I write gn readers if not asked to write her a female)
Example: Could you do a Diaval (Maleficent) fic with the title "Heart's Desire"?
RANDOM FIC IDEAS
These are fic types I either make up myself or see appearing in celebrations, often modified somewhat. (I am not picking out anyone's unique ideas without a permission, only stuff I see in multiple celebrations)
Dialogue fics (a dialogue-based piece, a conversation between a character and reader about a topic, for example a Benny Watts piece where he teaches reader to play chess, or a Kaz Brekker x reader where Kaz got wounded and reader talks to him while patching him up to distract him from touch)
Example: Could you do a dialogue drabble where Ariel (Disney) and you talk about the sea?
Scenarios (a character + fandom + small situation + add 2-10 settings where that situation happens, like character + kisses and settings could be first kiss, daily/regular kisses and goodbye kisses, I’ll either do a preference-like thing out of it or a mini "fic" under every scenario, about 100-200 words each. Feel free to state which one you want, if you won't, I'll decide it myself)
Example: Could you do romantic cuddle scenarios for Jesper Fahey? Sleepy cuddles, comfort cuddles and cuddles after a tickling attack?
Fluff alphabets (tell me a character with whom you want these, I'll write "fluff alphabets" for that character. A for affection and I'll tell how the affection with that character would be. B for boldness, how bold that character is with showing their feelings. C for cuddles, how they cuddle, if they like to cuddle. Etc etc, all the way til Z. All the fluff alphabets will always use the same "template" so it would be easier and simpler, and people would know what to expect)
Also a note: if you like one of my fluff alphabet takes for a character, you're free to ask me to write a longer piece from that (it will likely be a short ficlet)!
Example: Could you do fluff alphabets for Regina Mills?
Example 2: Could you write a longer piece for Regina Mills, based on prompt M from your fluff alphabets for her?" (Unlocks after the said request has come out!)
NOTE 2: The fluff alphabet lists are published here in Tumblr only, as AO3 would likely consider them as ephemeral content at the moment. If someone asks for a ficlet based on one of the letters (as seen in example 2), I will link the og alphabet list to the work when I publish it on AO3.
---
(I WILL NOT DO MULTICHAPTERS BY REQUEST, you can ask me to write a part 2 or 3 for a piece (including a plot, and only after the previous part has been published) but please do not send me requests like "character x reader multichapter series please, [plot], at least 20 chapters because I looooove me some proper plot building, and oh I prefer word counts around xxxxxx!" or "please do a twoshot of character x reader, [plot]." All my fics are one parted by default and extend to two parts ONLY either if a) I feel like it could work in two parts or b) if I want to write a continuation or c) someone requests a part 2 for a fic with a plot I find interesting and want to write it. Note: I do not write part 2's to fics that came out before 2021, as my writing style was very different back then and I just don't feel like I could grasp it anymore.
I've received so many of "do a 100k words multichapter with character x reader, there's none around 😭" in the past and just, please don't)
FREDDY CARTER'S CHARACTERS SPECIALS
Right now includes: Pin, Kaz, Jason, Tom, Ellis, Gideon, David, Ray.
Freddy's characters preferences + a simple situation (like reader confessing they like them). I'll write a short description of how they'll react to that situation. Example. Also, if you want an expanded version of any of my Freddy's character takes, feel free to send it and I'll try to make a oneshot or a ficlet out of it. Just send a "hi, could you write a oneshot/a ficlet out of [character]'s take from [preference set]? (This will apply ONLY for these Freddy preferences, not regular preferences, at least not for now)
Example: Could you write a Freddy's characters preference where you come home badly wounded?
