the lonesome lows don't quite go away overnight

Very excited for both the next round of seasonsofdrabbles and the upcoming rarefemslashexchange. I'll be spending the next few weeks mining my fandoms for potential noms.

femslashex has authors revealed! (reminder to self, do not post this until you confirm this fact!) I'm very excited about what I wrote.

Here's to the Downfall of Good Times (Kevin Can F*** Himself, Allison/Patty) for Netgirl_y2k

The power goes out and Kevin builds a pillow fort. Allison is sent next door for more building materials.

What birds have vanished one by one (Shirley (2020), Rose/Shirley) for kimaracretak

Forest. Blood. Fucking. Forest. Blood.

I received two rare ships in rare fandoms! 

the blood between me and you (The Wilds, Dot/Shelby) by SadieFlood

Words Pressing Like Fingers At The Inside of My Mouth (The Nevers, Harriet/Desiree) by Tamoline

I also enjoyed the Strange Empire fic, as well as kimaracretak's own Shirley/Rose. I think that rounds out the fandoms I'm familiar enough with, though I may have missed something!

And a bit of chatter about writing!

Dear femslashafterdark creator,

Thank you for being here and for creating for me! I'm generally a multi shipper, and love romantic fic but also solo, character-driven stuff, explorations, and even a little adventure fic. I am so deeply Not Picky, and I haven't been able to participate in much since having my daughter four years ago, so I'm basically just happy to be here and to participate.

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. 

General Likes:

• Domesticity: married life, chaos of raising kids, work/life balance, the real work of staying together and working on trauma, mutual long-term healing, partnerships
• Shared Space Tropes: fake relationship turns real, snowed in, forced to share a hotel room/bed, hetero double date fails, source of irritation becomes source of desire,
• Darker Themes: body horror, wound play (inflicted or re-opened), exploration of pain (inflicted or tested), recovery from past trauma
• AUs: character meets x instead of y, y never existed, character lives/escapes, characters die but meet on another plane of existence, 10 years after canon, pre-canon (with no strong feelings of if this would end up breaking canon itself), apocalypses
• Honesty: frank, truthful depictions of physical and mental disabilities, not seeing situations or memories with rose-colored glasses (if character x was maligned or hurt by character y, that shouldn't be ignored, unless working in an AU)
• Femslash and Poly are always opt-in :)

General Dislikes/DNWs:
Note: For this exchange, I am a bit more wiggly with DNWs, especially if they fit the bill for hurt/comfort, past trauma, or canonical events.

• Rape or detailed reference to rape
• Explicit sex including underaged characters
• Dwelling on dead children
• Explicit violence to children, especially sexualized violence
• A/B/O or other animal AU traits used sexually (though tentacles are welcome if they make sense in the story)
• Use of fanon f/f to bash canonical partners (or fanon characterization to bash other characters)
• Fetishized mental illness, including over-the-top depictions, or villains
• Scat/vomit

Professor Marston and the Wonder Women
( Read more... )

• Pre-movie, and post-movie, and all of the missing bits of lives the movie skips and jumps around
• Sex, or no sex. Together, or separate. 
• Professional lives and struggles
• Discussions regarding kink, consent, and limits; curiosity
• Kink in non-sexual contexts
• They have a pattern of pushing past limits in their early relationship. I'd like them to end up okay, but I don't mind some explorations.

( Read more... )

• Overwrought explorations on how one might label one's sexuality
• Either only feeling sexual or romantic love for one partner. Don't need to show it or him in detail, but please don't claim that they don't love Bill.
• Details from their children's real lives

The Nevers
( Read more... )

• Turns used in sex
• Violence, hurt/comfort, wounds
• Encounters related to Maladie/Sarah or The Ferryman's Club used as hurt for comfort
• Full disclosure in sex, partners knowing the whole truth
• Drugs

• Detailed Maladie/True
• Auggie. I find him fine in passing, but increasingly irritating and kind of gross in focus

Fingersmith - Sarah Waters
( Read more... )

• Partnered or separate
• Self-harm or self-punishment
• Pornography as an expression of love
• Attempting to remain stoic during sex

Masters of Sex
( Read more... )

• Post-death storylines. Maybe that is obvious, but I feel I should say it.

• Real life details from Virginia or Bill's children, if they were even to come up
