Dear Drabble Author Letter

midorisakuraAloha Dear Author,
Thank you so much for writing for me. I hope that you will enjoy writing a story for one of my chosen fandoms.
To help (hopefully), here is a list of likes and prompts. My DNWs are listed under my sign up, and here for convenience.
DNW:
On screen sex (I prefer the sex to be vague or off-screen), prison as a setting (even mentioning prison at all is a trigger for me), hurt without comfort, genderswap, first or second person point of view, using flowery words for genitalia (though I do like clever euphemisms used for humor - like the song, "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo"), angst without comfort/fluff, main character death (unless the character is a ghost and the story is a ghost centered story), unhappy endings, pining, slow burn, F/M
General Likes:
魔道祖师, Mó Dào Zǔ Shī
I am in the third novel for this series (I have watched half of the televised series and will watch the rest once I've finished reading the series). What I love about the novel is that we get so much more depth in character and some stories that are not included in the television series. I also like the whole 'pulling pigtails' vibe that we get from a young Wei Wuxian with how he tries to get a rise out of Lan Wangji. In the novel, their mutual love is so much more obvious. It reminds me of Gilbert from Anne of Green Gables with how he would do whatever he could to get a reaction out of Anne and how she constantly rebuffed him.
This is my comfort show. I have rewatched the series multiple times and when I need some comfort, I watch certain episodes over again. For gift exchanges, I often ask for stories featuring my favorite couple: Tang Yi and Meng Shao Fei (OTP) because I love this series that much. Having said that, I also like the chemistry between Zuo Hong Ye and Gu Dao Yi (a pairing exception to my DNW with regard to F/M) and would have liked to see more of their side story. I do like Jack and Zhao Li An as well, they are adorable together. I also with that Chen Wen Hao had lived longer to actually build a relationship with his son.
The Lost Boys
This is a movie that I have often requested stories for during exchanges. I love David and totally ship David and Michael. Again, I don't like major character deaths, so having David not die would be essential.
I read a translation of the novel and have not watched the series yet. I have read a ton of fanfiction for this series, though and there is a lot I have enjoyed in it. What I like in the novel is the way that the author handles the sexual violence and the drugged sex (dubious consent) by having the characters actually experience the emotions related to the trauma and that it isn't just brushed aside. The characters feel suicidal and go through bouts of depression. They go through identity crises as well. It gives the novel a sense of realism that I think is often lacking when authors write about these particular topics. I dislike the romanticizing of rape.
Another comfort show that I like to revisit every now and again. I've read a translation of the novel as well. I have not watched the sequel or read the sequel, so am only familiar with the initial show and novel.
Again, thank you for writing for me. These are just ideas (in case you need some) and are not something that you need to follow (aside from DNWs) because I find prompts and likes to be extremely helpful when writing for someone else.
Mahalo!

魔道祖师, Mó Dào Zǔ Shī

- Some more exploration of their childhood - a scene not included in the novel, would be fun.
- A story set after the series in which Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji have their own found family - adopting a child or children who have been abandoned?
- An mpreg with Wei Wuxian being the one who carries the child, would be cool
- A modernized AU, but not a coffee shop one - detectives might be cool, reincarnation?
- A crossover with History 3: Trapped (maybe they help Tang Yi and Meng Shaofei when they are lost in the woods? or maybe one pair is transmigrated into the universe of the other, or so on and so forth - so many possibilities)
- A crossover with Faraway Wanderers (found family vibes - killer couple vibes, etc.)
This is my comfort show. I have rewatched the series multiple times and when I need some comfort, I watch certain episodes over again. For gift exchanges, I often ask for stories featuring my favorite couple: Tang Yi and Meng Shao Fei (OTP) because I love this series that much. Having said that, I also like the chemistry between Zuo Hong Ye and Gu Dao Yi (a pairing exception to my DNW with regard to F/M) and would have liked to see more of their side story. I do like Jack and Zhao Li An as well, they are adorable together. I also with that Chen Wen Hao had lived longer to actually build a relationship with his son.
- An extended scene for when they were lost on the mountain - more hurt Meng Shao Fei
- A found family with everyone, including Chen Wen Hao
- Instead of prison time, Tang Yi is on probation?
- Kidnapped Meng Shao Fei and Zuo Hong Ye, rescued by their lovers
- Mpreg with Meng Shao Fei being pregnant
- Crossover with the above fandom would be cool
- A story in which Tang Yi is a ghost and in which Meng Shao Fei is a god (cultivation themes here, like with Heaven Official's Blessing - a crossover or a fusion would be cool here)
The Lost Boys
This is a movie that I have often requested stories for during exchanges. I love David and totally ship David and Michael. Again, I don't like major character deaths, so having David not die would be essential.
- An alternative ending where they do become a big, happy family would be fun.
- An AU where David is gangster and Michael is a good kid and they fall in love would be fun.
- Michael and David getting together in the end and going off on their own would be nice.
- David and Michael raising the three boys who attempted to kill them as baby vampires might be a fun, humorous story.
I read a translation of the novel and have not watched the series yet. I have read a ton of fanfiction for this series, though and there is a lot I have enjoyed in it. What I like in the novel is the way that the author handles the sexual violence and the drugged sex (dubious consent) by having the characters actually experience the emotions related to the trauma and that it isn't just brushed aside. The characters feel suicidal and go through bouts of depression. They go through identity crises as well. It gives the novel a sense of realism that I think is often lacking when authors write about these particular topics. I dislike the romanticizing of rape.
- Hurt/comfort - aftermath of kidnapping (Porsche)
- Mpreg - Porsche
- Found family - adoption
- AU - royalty
- Soul mates
- Red string of fate
- Crossover with History 3: Trapped, a meeting between Tang Yi and Kinn before Tang Yi goes legit or after Kinn goes legit, or maybe neither of them is going legit...maybe they all meet by chance at an onsen while on vacation
Another comfort show that I like to revisit every now and again. I've read a translation of the novel as well. I have not watched the sequel or read the sequel, so am only familiar with the initial show and novel.
- I like the idea of a story in which Type is kidnapped by Lhong and the aftermath (as well as comfort)
- I like the idea of Tharn and Type being parents (mpreg with Type being the carrier would be cool or adoption)
- I like the idea of a crossover with KinnPorsche featuring Thorn and Khun being mistaken for each other and the shenanigans that follow - maybe Thorn is taken to the compound by some body guards who think he is Khun, or kidnapped, and the mayhem that follows
Again, thank you for writing for me. These are just ideas (in case you need some) and are not something that you need to follow (aside from DNWs) because I find prompts and likes to be extremely helpful when writing for someone else.
Mahalo!
