Likes & DNWs for fic exchanges

[theirwolf]

 

So sometimes I like to try to do author letters for fic exchanges, but sometimes I don't have the time/energy, or there's just so many things I'm requesting it's overwhelming. Hence, this post - my general likes as well as my Do Not Wants all listed together for such occasions. I've tried to be as thorough as possible, but I'm sure there are things I've forgotten, so it may be added onto at times.

Also for reference

stories heavily dealing with bigotry and other real world issues; bi erasure; blasphemy/sacrilege

 

Nosferatu 2024 specific: stories that include Ellen/Thomas but only in a negative way or where they do not love each other. (Imperfect/unhealthy relationship between them is welcome! But I'd rather avoid stories where it's just a horrible thing without love.)

Skinwalkers specific: Varek/Sonja fic where Sonja is second choice/a replacement for Rachel.

The Mummy specific: vilification of Anck-su-namun/Meela Nais.

 

DCEU specific: Whedon's Justice League over Snyder's.

 

 

Arrowverse specific: Olicity (except in certain poly ships), Felicity being propped over Laurel or other female characters, Kara/Mon El, Mon El in general tbh.
