badritual | OWO dear creator letter (Reply)

Dear Creator,

Hi! I'm really looking forward to this challenge and seeing what you come up with! (I'll probably be copying and pasting some stuff from previous letters here. You can find past letters here and here if you're interested.) Here is my list of tags for this challenge.

Please don't be intimidated by the size of the letter! I'm using some prompts from older letters as well. The prompts and ideas are only suggestions! I'm totally fine with mixing and matching tropes/likes/kinks/etc. to come up with a story too! I won't have prompts for all of these, as I consider the pairing/group itself to be the prompt. I promise I'll be happy with whatever you come up with! But if you need some more guidance, please contact the mods and I'll respond ASAP!

What I Love: I'm currently really into gothic romance/gothic horror/horror of any stripe really. I also love ambiguous/happy for now/sad endings (though I am not opposed to happy endings in the slightest). I love things that make me think, and are not necessarily tied up with a neat pretty bow.

I love characters dealing with mortality (of their careers or their lives). I also dig found family/families of choice, pining, minor miscommunication, undercover as married, mistaken for dating, pretend dating, enemies to lovers, enemies to friends to lovers, friends to lovers, poly/poly-v relationships, popular clichéd tropes inverted (i.e. gay for you, married in Vegas, A/B/O, soulmates/soulmate marks, etc), meet-cutes/meet-uglies, and epistolary/use of social media pastiche (use of fake texts, tweets, facebook posts, emails, and more. This is a good example of what I mean here.)

My main DNWs are listed below. Exceptions will be noted:

DNWs:
• noncon
• underage
• violence against women (domestic violence or abuse, mostly)

• mpreg
• watersports/scat
• unrequested kinks, tropes, likes, etc. (unless otherwise mentioned)
• unrequested pairings (unless otherwise mentioned)
• mundane AUs (especially mundane AUs of fantasy/sci-fi/supernatural/etc. universes)
• vampire and werewolf AUs

Stuff I Like:
• gothic/gothic romance/horror/ghost stories!!!
• time travel/time loops/time fuckery
• pining
• miscommunication (within reason)
• poly/poly-v relationshps
• found family/families of choice
