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 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!

I'm so happy we're meeting here! Thank you for offering my fandoms, having a look at this letter, and, most importantly, writing for me. I included some general likes and fandom-specific thoughts and prompts should you find reading about them useful. And in case you'd like to write me smut, there's also a list of kinks.

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.
