Dear M/M Rares Author

First of all, thank you for writing for me! Second, above all else, I want to read the story that you most want to write. So, if that means getting inspiration from my letter or finally wrangling that plot bunny stashed away on your hard drive into actual fic, it’s all good with me :)

I will do my best to provide a few prompts, but feel free to take any of them in whatever direction you want; they're only suggestions on my part.

For reference, I'm hellabaloo at AO3, but historiograph on tumblr.

General Likes: I am probably embarrassingly easy to please, because I like tons of stuff. Give me your AUs (in space! spies! amnesia! for want of a nail! gladiator! dueling dance crews! Iron Chef!), gapfillers, or character studies. Tropey fic might be my actual fav (soulbonds! groundhog day! identity porn! arranged marriage/marriage of convenience!), but I love unexpected or interesting subversions of tropes, too. I love stories with tension and chemistry and fics that really explore characters’ relationships with each other, be they good and healthy or bad and dysfunctional. Long and plotty or short and sweet, I will love it either way.

I ship all the pairings I’ve requested romantically, but I'd be more than happy to see gen fic, too.

Past vs. present tense isn't a big deal to me, although generally I prefer third-person narration.

General Dislikes: Rape/non-con, mpreg, terminal illness/deathfic (non-canonical deaths especially; I'm okay with mentions of characters dying, just nothing that focuses exclusively on death please), character bashing, character flaws being glossed over, and characters assuming the worst of each other through lack of communication.
