I absolutely will not be able to participate in femslashex this year, and I am very upset about it. 

*

My birthday is in two weeks. I'll be 37. Weird. 

Is it the fourth yet, is it the fourth yet? I cannot cannot wait to talk about femslashex ANY LONGER.*

*

TIL (well, YIL) Rebecca Hall is mixed race. Does that make her more of an acceptable choice to direct Passing? I don't know, I don't think that is my purview. (A recent episode of The Experiment podcast has an interview with her about it, and it felt at least to me that they asked many of the right questions. They also cover passing movies of old, and there's a lot of history I did not know!)

I signed up for fandomtrees , and would love to attempt to leave some drabbles as gifts. My tree is here. 



*I can and I will but I woN'T LIKE IT.

Dear Creator,

I AM SO HAPPY YOU ARE HERE! I AM SO HAPPY I AM HERE!

This is my first exchange in four years, and I want to assure you that does NOT mean pressure of any kind on you, dear creator. The pressure is on me, and your gift will be icing on a very determined cake. I think what will make me the happiest is knowing that you've enjoyed your time writing for me, regardless of the specifics of fandom or pairing or content. So, please take the following as helpful-only-as-far-as-it-is-helpful-to-you and take the leeway and freedom you need! That said, if what you need is more specific prompts, I hope to offer those as well. Also, my pronouns are they/them/she/her if you'd like to discuss me. 

( Likes )( Dislikes )


Specific Requests:

If there is a fandom listed you aren't familiar with but want to be, I included a bullet point or two on guides. However, after those bullet points, there WILL be spoilers, so tread with caution. 

( Masters of Sex, Gone Girl, Mean Girls, Hannibal )

Hello! Thank you for creating something for me! 

Likes: For the most part, what I want out of my fandom experience is not what is already doled out in canon. I'm generally fond of the various canon iterations of these characters and their relationships, so if a request seems to contradict that for you, I'd prefer AU or poly over cheating. I have a STRONG affinity for themes of domesticity, being kind and helping one another, replacement (being with someone because you/both of you cannot be with the person you really want to be with, being with someone while thinking of someone else), forced space-sharing scenarios like sharing a bed, cuddling for warmth, or snowed in. Fake dating/fake married. I don't mind AUs that displace in time/space, but like to keep things like power and relationships at least close to the same. I like all kinds of women. Neurodivergence. Women holding their own, defending themselves. And cuddles. I like cuddles. I love explicit consent, even (especially?) when sex is not involved. Non-binary/genderqueer people being respected. 

Dislikes: Racism. I realize that racism is discussed in several of these fandoms, so if you do address that (and I encourage you to!) I'd just rather avoid any new/more intense/awful forms than are already depicted. The "everyone knew you liked x/were gay except you" trope. Explicit sex that isn't part of a story or characterization (PWP). Several of these fandoms also include non-binary or not explicitly cis female characters. While I don't have any ride or die headcanons, I do ask that you respect what is presented in canon.

Art-specific Notes (if applicable): I can give or take detailed backgrounds -- what I'm interested in are the characters. Please don't skin-lighten. I strongly lean towards not wanting NSFW art -- nudity/explicit sex acts tend to make me uncomfortable. But sex poses while clothed are A+.

Additional notes and possible inspiration live at my dear author tag. I would be happy to answer any questions anon here, or through gloss  or saturnofthemoon . If you (assigned creator or treat creator) would like a fandom- or pairing-specific prompt, please ask. Otherwise, my spoons are terribly low and providing so many would be quite difficult for me.

I am requesting:
Degrassi Next Class: Grace Cardinal/Zoe Rivas, Grace Cardinal/Zoe Rivas/Rasha Zuabi, Yael Baron/Lola Pacini
Degrassi the Next Generation: Fiona Coyne/Holly J. Sinclair, Mia Jones/Jane Vaughn
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency: Amanda Brotzman/Bart Curlish, Farah Black/Amanda Brotzman
The Good Place: Eleanor Shellstrop/Real Eleanor Shellstrop | Vicki, Tahani Al-Jamil/Eleanor Shellstrop
GLOW: Arthie Premkumar | Beirut/Rhonda Richardson | Britannica, Carmen Wade | Machu Picchu/Rhonda Richardson | Britannica, Ruth Wilder | Zoya the Destroya/Sheila the She-Wolf
Big Love: Nicolette Grant/Margene Heffman/Barbara Henrickson, Nicolette Grant/Barbara Henrickson

You should also know that I have a very involved full-time job, and two children at home (including an infant), so I may be slower to respond to queries and may be a little late with feedback when creations go live. I will do my best to be prompt, but sometimes things happen.

Dear author/artist,

Hi! I know my selection of fandoms is pretty widespread, but hopefully you have options, and if you don't I hope where we matched is a delight for you! I've got a few ideas for each fandom, but feel free to go your own way! I've stated when my triggers are hard lines, but generally if something is warned for, I'm okay with it. Have fun! Don't stress! If you have vague questions, you can ask me anon on tumblr (aphrodite-mine.tumblr.com) or through mage-girl on LJ/magicisgreen on tumblr.

To get a flavor for things I enjoy, you're welcome to check out my tumblr or my fic recs. If anything makes you feels weird/stressed, just pretend you didn't see it! Along those lines, I think I've got all of the language fic/art compliant, but if you see something that appears to lean one way or the other, it's a mistake and trust me, I requested what you're prepared to give!

The Requests!
