Dear Fandom5k Writer!

thank you for checking up on this letter and, even more importantly, for writing for me ❤ I hope you will have a lot of fun in this exchange and your gift will be cool and amazing! I wrote up prompts for each of my fandoms below if you want some specific ideas from me, but feel free to disregard or mix and match them if your heart/the fic will take you in another direction. I also included my general likes and dislikes and short lists of prompts for each of my chosen fandoms, but don't feel obligated to fulfill them to the letter if they don't tickle your fancy, they are simply examples of scenarios I might enjoy. There's also a list of my kinks, should you want to write me porn.

I’m [archiveofourown.org profile] dust_motes on AO3 and here's my exchange letters tag if you want to poke around and see what else I may like, but don't stress too much over it; I love all my fandoms and chosen ships so ridiculously much I'm sure that as long as you avoid my DNWs and maybe include one or two of my likes, you'll make me happy.

Some of the sections of this letter are longer than the others; it isn't an indication of how much I want to receive any given fandom, just a failure of imagination to come up with inspiring prompts on my part.

And that's it. I hope my ramblings were helpful to you and if any clarification is needed, I'll happily answer any question you send through the mods. Take care!

Dear ChoclateBox Writer!

Hi. Long time no see. I took a year-long break from exchanges, so please forgive the rustiness of this letter, although I do hope it'll still be helpful to you. Farther down, I included my general likes and dislikes and short lists of prompts for each of my chosen fandoms, but don't feel obligated to fulfill them to the letter if they don't tickle your fancy, they are simply examples of scenarios I might enjoy. There's also a list of my kinks, should you want to write me porn.

Dear Shipoween Writer!
 
Thank you for offering my fandoms and having a look at this letter, and I'm sorry I didn't manage to get this letter up together with my sign-up. I hope it will still be helpful to you, though! I’m @dust_motes.ao3.org on AO3, I’m very excited for this exchange, and I’m sure I’ll love what you will write for me. I would be equally happy to match on any of my fandoms/ships—if some have less prompts than others, it’s because my imagination is lacking, not because I love them any less.

If you find such a thing useful, I recently requested most of the ships I'm requesting now either in the Darkest Night exchange or in Multifandom Tropefest. If any of the freeform tags I asked for there inspire you, feel free to use it; I'm still very much interested in reading about all of them. If not, my general likes (more specific list below) tend to stray away both from utter tragedy and warm and fuzzy feelings. I like conflict and challenges our heroes need to overcome before the end and I like if getting together costs them something or teaches them something not very nice about themselves. I like porn (kink/tropes likes further below) and plot and character studies equally much, so write whatever fits your idea the best.

I mostly requested No Theme freeform this time around. Castlevania and Legend of the Sword got Spooky as well, for canons being, well, what they are. In those cases, feel free to lean into horror/dark magic aspects of canon as much as you want. Ghosts? Great. They lose their humanity due to fighting monsters/dabbling with ancient powers? I'll roll with it. Body horror? Always up my alley. And while I didn't request Seasonal theme, it is autumn here and I enjoy autumn so if you wanted to include an autumnal element, don't hold yourself back.

Dear Multifandom Tropefest Writer!
 
Thank you for offering my fandoms and having a look at this letter. I’m @dust_motes.ao3.org on AO3, I’m very excited for this exchange, and I’m sure I’ll love what you will write for me. I would be equally happy to match on any of my fandoms/ships -- if some have less prompts than others it’s because my imagination is lacking, not because I love them any less.
 
As you can see from my tags, in this exchange my trope likes seem to lie in almost dying, physical injuries needing tending, blurted out love confessions, and sudden feelings realizations with a sprinkle of being forced to work together to bring down a common enemy and seduction to the dark side for enemy ships. I decided to forego typical prompts this time, seeing as I feel like the tags themselves serve this purpose very well, but I will talk a bit about what I like about each pairing under each section. I also requested many similar tropes for the Darkest Night exchange; my letter for it is here and if you want to draw inspiration from my prompts there, feel free. I'm still very much interested in receiving every single one of them. I'm also always up for some twists in my tropes if you don't want to play them straight -- honestly, as long as you don't hit any of my DNWs, I'll be delighted to read your take the prompt we matched on, no matter how straightforward or subverted.

Dear Darkest Night Writer!

Thank you for offering my fandoms and having a look at this letter. I’m @dust_motes.ao3.org on AO3 as well, I’m very excited for this exchange and I’m sure I’ll love what you will write for me. I would be equally happy to match on any of my fandoms/ships -- if some have less prompts than others it’s because my imagination is lacking, not because I love them any less.

The gist of my requests here is terrible people in love / good characters falling for the wrong person and making not that great choices because of it / good people falling in love at the worst possible time and choosing each other over the common good or, you know, saving the world or something like this. I threw together some prompts if you need inspiration (and many of my chosen tags are prompts in themselves), but feel free to wander or mix and match tags if that’s where your story takes you.

Things I always enjoy: )

Aaand that's all. Thanks again for reading my letter and I hope you'll have fun writing for me!
