disgruntled_owlDear Drabble Writer,
Thanks for participating in the exchange! I hope you're as excited about it as I am. Here’s a bit about me and my requests.
Thanks for participating in the exchange! I hope you're as excited about it as I am. Here’s a bit about me and my requests.
In General
Relationship Interests: I enjoy gen, het, slash, and femslash. Poly is less of a thing for me, but I am open to reading about it if you find it makes for a compelling story. I’m particularly intrigued by romantic possibilities for older characters, sexual extortion, and power dynamics and imbalances (particularly between villains and protagonists).
Other Likes: Gothic tales, noir, intrigue, atmosphere, vampires, ghosts, period settings, spooky monsters, fairy tale motifs, nature (forests, deserts, oceans, shores, and swamps), villains and their motives and psychological characteristics.
Do-Not-Wants: cannibalism (vampires drinking blood is okay), bestiality, zombies, mpreg, gratuitous graphic violence, scat/watersports, tentacle porn, underage, body horror, animal or child abuse.
Gray Areas: I’d prefer not to read stories about infidelity or very explicit rape/non-con. Given my relationship interests, dub-con is okay. I understand this territory is murky, so don’t worry too much about crossing a line. I’m primarily trying to avoid really extreme or violent situations.
Story Characteristics: I’m good with missing scenes and canon divergence, but I like to stay in the world of the story, so I’d prefer the story not be set in a dramatically different AU (coffee shop, high school, etc.). I'm also not into reader inserts or stories written in the second person.
Fandom/Prompt Specifics
Batman: the Animated Series: Some ideas: A sexy exchange between Batman and Catwoman, or Batman and Talia. A spotlight on a villain in the Rogues gallery, either with Batman, with one another, or while he or she is alone (Scarface and the Ventriloquist are among my favorites lately). A heartfelt moment between Batman/Bruce and Alfred, or an Alfred-centric story (I love a bad-ass butler). Please no non-canon romantic relationships.
James Bond (Craig Movies): I'd love a sexy and/or tension-filled exchange between Bond and Silva, Le Chiffre, or (if you want to time travel) Francisco Scaramanga. Or, give me a moment between Bond and M (as played by Judi Dench). I’d really enjoy something exploring the complex history of her and Bond’s relationship, which we get a real taste of in Skyfall.
Logan Lucky: I'd really like a glimpse of Jimmy and Clyde's (and, if you're so inclined, Mellie's) sibling relationship, especially during or after their first robbery attempt. Or, do they have specific childhood encounters with the Logan family curse? Silly moments featuring Joe Bang also welcome. Please no sibling incest.
Frasier: I just started re-watching this on Netflix after a 15-year-or-so break. I had forgotten how much I adore Niles and how enchanted I was with the slow-burn Niles/Daphne romance. Something fluffy and Niles-centric would be great. Please no non-canon relationships.
Rogue One: I dig angsty Orson Krennic/Galen Erso romance; Krennic/Tarkin sexual tension; and gen fic about the protagonists, particularly Saw Gerrera. Other canon romantic relationships are fine.
Hunchback of Notre Dame: I hesitate to call myself a Frollo fan, but I am fascinated by him and enjoy Frollo character studies and backstories. I like Frollo/Esmeralda, as their interactions dovetail with my relationship interests, but I'm less interested in fics that redeem Frollo or otherwise make him a good guy. I'd also enjoy Phoebus/Esmeralda or gen fic about the protagonists, except for the (sigh) gargoyles.
Batman: the Animated Series: Some ideas: A sexy exchange between Batman and Catwoman, or Batman and Talia. A spotlight on a villain in the Rogues gallery, either with Batman, with one another, or while he or she is alone (Scarface and the Ventriloquist are among my favorites lately).

Octopuses and other Cephalopods (Anthropomorphic): Aside from my DNWs (which include tentacle porn) If you want to write about cephalopods, I'd like to read about them. I'd enjoy a story that goes a spooky (roaming the deep), suspenseful (an octo escape?), or silly route.
Happy writing! I am looking forward to reading your drabble(s)!The Little Mermaid: Speaking of cephalopods, I'd love an Ursula-focused character study, backstory, or vignette. Please no Ursula/Ariel stories.
