Extra info for exchange author/artist/crafter
So.
I can't remember what all I wrote on my prompt, and I'm too lazy to look it up. But I'm going to jot a few things down here in case you (lovely hypothetical author) need some further instruction. Generally, I like both our protagonists to be fairly (though not entirely) confident and intelligent and not shivering messes (unless we are talking hurt/comfort, in which case I don't care if they start off as a shivering mess as long as they don't stay that way). I like bickering/arguments/and even outright fights, but I like them to resolve or reveal underlying attraction. I like it when S and H can both give as good as they get. I like it when characters can laugh at themselves.
Also, I love mysteries, puzzles, and esoteric facts. I'm not saying I need them all in a story. But any of those things work for me.
And, just to warn a person, I get hopelessly confused when I read time-turner fics. There is something in my brain that just don't get them. I didn't ask for one, so I doubt you, dear author, have any idea of writing one. But if you do, I will appreciate the effort, but I am afraid the storyline will probably be lost on me.
And if you are an artist/crafter, none of this really applies to you. I will say, though, that if you are thinking about Jack Vettriano, I know some of his stuff is a bit racy. I actually had some of less racy works in mind when I wrote the prompt, but do what inspires you.
