Chocolate Box 2019 letter
Jan. 4th, 2019 09:15 pmDear Author,
Thank you for writing something for me! I'm really looking forward to your story, whatever it turns out to be :)
General stuff: I love stories where things happen, where characters come out of the story changed in some way, even if it's a subtle change. I especially love the interactions between characters, dialogue, snark, personality clashes, confessions, romance. I love stories that don't provide oversimplified resolutions to complex situations, where things aren't necessarily all neatly wrapped up at the end - it's okay if everything's not happily ever after, as long as there's some hope for the future. I like fic that challenges traditional gender roles and expectations. I love humour, as highbrow or lowbrow as you like, depending on what suits the story. Please feel free to include other characters from any of these canons in supporting roles, or to make up original characters, whatever works for your story.
While I feel that porn can easily be the meat (heh) of a story, I like it best when it is wrapped in at least a delicate layer of plot, and when I can believe that it's these particular characters having sex. But I really and truly am open to fic of any rating! If you are more of a fade-to-black sort of author, that's fine; if you want to show me non-shippy character interaction - friendship, rivalry, adventure, introspection - that's great too. However, if you do feel inspired to go the more porny route, I love m/m, f/f, m/f, threesomes, foursomes, moresomes, poly relationships, bisexuality, kink - and I'm very hard to squick, so don't worry about that. (If you want to read more about my porny likes/dislikes/ideas, you can get an idea by reading my Yuleporn comment.) Please no non-canon deaths or completely depressing endings, otherwise let your imagination run wild!
Specific fandoms
Diablotin: Earric Boyne/Dozilva do Baru/Sanadhìl Órecalo, Katia Dyess/Eglorine Vaillancourt/Kalman vak Andras, Imraen no Qu'rret/Ruchard Rademacher, Sendhel/anyone (Diablotin), César Nazarius/Sendhel, Justen Olivier/Xandhìl Órecalo/Sirris (Diablotin), Justen Olivier/Xandhìl Órecalo, Annyck Duployé/Hettienne Murodea, Fanart, Fanfiction
If you're offering this fandom, I expect that you can make good choices about what I might want :)
Castlevania (Cartoon): Carmilla/Hector (Castlevania (Netflix)), Alucard/Trevor Belmont/Sypha Belnades (Netflix), Hector/Isaac Laforeze (Netflix), Carmilla/Alucard | Adrian Tepes (Netflix), Sypha Belnades/Carmilla (Castlevania (Netflix)), Dracula/Lisa (Castlevania (Netflix)), Dracula/Isaac Laforeze (Netflix), Fanfiction
I'm interested in seeing some post-Season 2 fix-it for Alucard/Trevor/Sypha, where they are reunited somehow, or never parted. I would like them to be happy!
Carmilla/Alucard is just one of those things that I have to imagine happened at some point in the past, or could in the future, if she stops in to see him at the castle while he's vulnerable. There is no concern about making this a healthy and well-adjusted relationship, I am fine if you want to have her manipulate him or vice versa.
Carmilla/Hector - again, I'm fine with this being totally dysfunctional and messed up.
Dracula/Isaac - I could see this being in the aftermath of Lisa's death, when Isaac is one of the few people Dracula can talk to or trust, or later, when things are falling apart even more.
Dracula/Lisa - something about the early days of their relationship, maybe? Or when they found out they were going to have a child? I would prefer not something too sad for this one, although wistful or acknowledging the complexity of their relationship is fine - just not dwelling on Lisa's death.
Hector/Isaac - come on, they should have kissed in that scene. I love the idea of them finding ways to cope with being the only humans in a castle full of vampires.
Sypha/Carmilla - this would presumably have to be in an AU or future fic of some kind, but I'm intrigued by the idea of Carmilla capturing her and having her way with her.
General note: for any vampire/human relationships I'm totally fine with erotic blood drinking being a Thing.
Trollhunters (Cartoon): Draal/Nomura (Trollhunters), Fanfiction
It's strongly implied that they had a romantic relationship in the past. I'd like to know more about it. How they met, what Draal thought about having feelings for an "impure", whether Nomura had ulterior motives or was manipulating him, or had genuine feelings in return. Or perhaps something in the future, if Nomura finds a way to bring Draal back - or an AU where he never died.
The Lion in Winter (1968): Eleanor of Aquitaine/Richard I of England (The Lion in Winter (1968)), Eleanor of Aquitaine & Richard I of England (The Lion in Winter (1968)), Fanfiction
I'd love something about the time when they were "every day together" - when Eleanor was teaching Richard everything she knew. If you want to interpret their messed-up relationship as incestuous, that is fine, or if you don't, that's also fine! Just something about her influence on her favourite son, please!
Books of the Raksura - Martha Wells: Rorra/Stone (Books of the Raksura), Ember/Shade (Books of the Raksura), Flicker/Shade, Consolation/Shade (Raksura), Consolation/Kethel (Raksura), Fanfiction
For Consolation/Kethel, I'd like to see something where they are affectionate with each other. Raksuras cuddle and engage in casual sex all the time, and I'd like to see Consolation trying some of that with Kethel, and seeing how he reacts.
For any of the Shade relationships, I mostly just want to see Shade be happy with someone. It could be complicated by various factors, but just a little moment of happiness would be lovely.
With Rorra/Stone, I love their pragmatic older folks relationship. Maybe something where she comes to visit, and the court can be scandalized, or something where Stone goes travelling with her for a while.
3 Below (Cartoon): Izita/Zadra (3 Below), Nancy Domzalski/Varvatos Vex, Fanfiction
With Izita/Zadra, I'd be curious to see something about taking comfort with each other in secret, while hiding the fact that they're rebels.
With Nana and Varvatos Vex, I just think they're adorable! Maybe something where she has him over for dinner, or they go out on a date together? What does courtship look like for his people?
Star Wars: Rebels: Alexsandr Kallus/Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios (Star Wars: Rebels), Alexsandr Kallus/Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios (SW: Rebels), Fanfiction
I'd be happy something from anywhere on the spectrum of enemies-to-lovers for these two. Hate sex, grudging mutual respect, taking my boyfriend home to meet the family... whatever :)
