Dear Creator,

I'm excited we've matched up for [community profile] past_imperfect! Time travel is one of my favorite tropes and I'm thrilled there's a challenge exclusively for it!

I'm going to copy and paste some stuff from older letters, such as likes and DNWs. (Also, feel free to peruse other letters here.)

What I Love: I 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 gothic horror/gothic romance/dark romance/horror/noir/etc. Space gothic, urban gothic, suburban gothic, I'm into all of it. Dark and romantic, even tragic and horrifying? Sign me up!

I also love characters dealing with mortality (of their careers or their lives), 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, 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. So is this, this, this, this, and this).

My main DNWs are listed below (exceptions will be noted):

DNWs:
• noncon
• underage
• violence against women (domestic violence or abuse, mostly)
• violence against animals/animal death
• A/B/O, BDSM, and kneeling 'verses (basically 'verses where the "switch" is always set to on)
• mpreg
• watersports/scat
• mundane AUs
• vampire and werewolf AUs

Stuff I Like:
• gothic/gothic romance/horror/ghost stories!!!
• pining
• miscommunication (within reason)
• poly/poly-v relationshps
• found family/families of choice
• undercover as married/pretend dating/accidental dating/fake marriage
• enemies to lovers
• enemies to friends to lovers
• popular clichéd tropes inverted
• amnesiafic
• epistolary/social media pastiche
• future fic
• casefic
• ensemble fic
• long-distance relationships
• complicated relationships
• power imbalances/power dynamics/power dynamics inverted
• professional/career jealousy
• small town AUs (small town in the suburban gothic sense, not cute, quaint villages and whatnot)

The following prompts are merely suggestions. I'll be perfectly happy with any combination of Stuff I Like, if none of the ideas grab your attention.

Fic and fan art for all fandoms.

Star Wars - All Media Types )

Supernatural )

Marvel Cinematic Universe )

Original Work )

Once again, I'd like to stress that these prompts/ideas are only suggestions! Don't feel constrained by them! Mix and match as you please, or come up with something completely on your own without my input. They're just meant as a guide.

ETA

I'M SO SORRY I FORGOT TO FINISH MY LETTER, AUTHOR!!! D:
