Chocolate Box Exchange 2020

Hi, and thank you so much for writing for me! We’ve already matched on some wonderful fandoms, so I know I’ll love whatever story you come up with, and please don’t feel like you need to follow my prompts to the letter—or at all, if none of them inspire you. I’d much rather you create the story of your heart, so feel free to mix, match, or completely ignore as you see fit. As long as you don’t ignore my DNWs (which aren’t exactly extensive), you’re golden.
DNWs:
· PWP (I love a good sex scene, but I’d prefer it weren’t the one and only focus of the story)
· Character Bashing
· Unrequested non-canon ships
Hard Sells:
· Setting-change-AUs, especially mundane AUs. (Usually, the setting and worldbuilding are a big part of why I love the story. That being said, I won’t say no to an interesting setting change, especially if it’s a bit more unusual than, say, coffee shop or high school.)
Likes:
· Missing Scenes
· Canon Divergence
· Complicated family and relationship dynamics
· Hurt/comfort
· Found Family
· Kid Fic (Non-canon kids, canon kids, or canon adult characters as kids—I especially love fics focused on characters’ pre-canon childhoods.)
· Loyalty
· A messed up (but interesting!) power dynamic
· Mentors and mentees
· Moral ambiguity
· Age Gaps
· Worldbuilding
· Happy Endings
· Sad Endings
· Bittersweet Endings
· Unhappy marriages or good relationships gone bad (Especially if there’s a glimmer of hope at the end, or the characters actively start working towards making their relationship better, but straight-up angst is good, too!)
· “Good is not Nice”-type characters; characters who are kind without necessarily being merciful, or characters who are merciful without necessarily being kind
· Banter
· Period-accurate details
· Mythology; fairy tales and folktales; ghost stories
· Storytelling
· Siblings
· Genderswap; Always-a-Girl!AUs
· Female Friendship
