dear not prime time writer
first of all, hi, *waves* i love you a lot and i'd like to say thanks in advance for this story.
now, all of this is written with the idea to make things easier for you/inspire you, not to limit you or make things harder for you, so with that in mind, take from this what you like and do with that what you want. i'm c/ping a list of likes/dislikes i wrote for last year's not prime time, because not much has changed. the details/ideas for specific characters/pairing are written on the sign-up. anyway, enough of me talking, so i'll stop now. i hope this can be of some use to you and i hope you have fun with all of this :*
general likes in fiction;
+ Women. Independent women. Queens. Men as their loyal huntsmen. Gen. Relationships. F/F and F/M especially, but M/M too. Polyamory as well. Love in all shapes and forms. Power disparity. Happy endings and not so happy endings and repetitions, I love repetitions. Contrasting use of language and structure. Witty dialogue. A lack of grand, be-all-end-all revelations. Adultery. Hurt/comfort and smoking and substance use and abuse and destructive and self-destructive behavior. Guilt. Self-awareness and people being performative and aware of clichés. Clichés turned upside down and clichés played straight. Character studies. Gender role exploration. Guns. Women with guns. Fluff. Poetic sentences. Intentional vagueness. Words. Fairytale AUs/references. Physicality. Sex. Exploration of sexuality. Non spectacular sex. Touching. Hands. Blood. Plot, occasionally. Doom, gloom and personal growth.
general dislikes in fiction;
+ Gender inequality. Non-con and dub-con, if not well handled. Women pushed to the sidelines because of men. Slut shaming, victim blaming. Endings that lack hope.
other random lovelies;
+ Poetry by Richard Siken. Dragons. Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente. Smoking. Boys in suits. Boys covered in blood. Lipstick. Florence + the Machine. Dragons.
