derwent_fHello dear author! Thank you for signing up for this exchange!
These are merely suggestions. If none of the prompts I give speak to you, please feel free to mix and match, or even to go your own way, as long as you heed the DNWs. Length of prompts doesn't indicate I want one thing more than another, just that for some fandoms I have ideas, for others I'd be happy with anything.
If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to reach me through the mods!
General DNWs: non-con, scat, vore, rimming/felching/any ass-to-mouth stuff (including toys), watersports, fat fetishizing/weight gain fetishizing, feederism/stuffing, belly bulge, come inflation, vomit, permanent mutilation/disfigurement, girl penis (ovipositor is fine), the spelling 'cum', extreme underage, genital injury, breast mutilation, unrequested gender/sexuality/identity/ethnicity/disability headcanons, unrequested alternate setting AUs (e.g. Coffee shop, Regency, high school) (Canon-divergence/fix-its/alternate endings are all totally fine), crack, parody, trope deconstruction, kidfic, pregnancy fic (including mpreg), genderswaps, humiliation, diaper/bottle/pacifier sex stuff.
Trick DNWs: monsters (e.g. vampires, werewolves, wendigo), zombies, aliens/space, gore, time loop, body horror, fantasy (dark/urban etc)*, sci-fi horror, magical creatures (e.g. fairy, goblin, unicorn)
*I'm going with TV Tropes's distinction that (dark) fantasy focuses more on the adventure aspect while the horror part takes a back seat.
For writing styles, please no first person POV or all lowercase writing.
Dub-con is extremely fine! I'm fine with all levels of explicitness as well. I have a soft spot for pre-canon stories that explore characterisation and relationship, but don't feel like you have to stick to pre-canon setting!
Trick likes: supernatural, ghosts, urban legends/folk legends, folk horror, possession, religious horror (any religion), abandoned/haunted buildings, folie à deux, psychological horror, gothic horror, cursed objects, paranormal investigation, not realising something is wrong until it's too late, sentient objects, eldritch location, malevolent architecture, artifact of doom, creeping sense of dread, slow descent into madness, visiting a (maybe human, maybe not) fortuneteller and given an unsettling/creepily accurate/doomed reading, mirror dimension.
I opt-in for For Battle of the Bands! I love Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Franz Ferdinand, and Die Moritat von Mackie Messer (and its English adaptation Mack the Knife). Feel free to choose which song for which fandom.
For fandom-specific DNWs and prompts:
Stoker (2013), Fic - Trick or Treat
Fandom-specific DNW: Please don't focus on India/Charlie. Brief mention is fine.
Characters: Evelyn Stoker, India Stoker
BotB suggestion: Die Moritat/Mack the Knife would be an obvious choice for India. From Her to Eternity would be suitable too, either for India (as the narrator), or Evelyn as the victim. Or a twisted, dark take on Bright Horses would be great.
Pre-canon Evelyn or post-canon India would be interesting! I feel like Evelyn is so unexplored as a character, so what was her life like before India? Or what would she do post-canon?
The Conjuring (movies), Fic - Trick or Treat
Characters: Any
For Trick: more horror, please! Anything involving the artifacts they have at home would be great. Or encountering non-Christian entity?
For Treat: Domestic/slice of life fics are very much welcome! Or maybe around Halloween they get more requests for help, but the overwhelming majority is just the result of people being too excitable XD
Watchmen (2009), Fic - Trick or Treat
Fandom-specific DNW: Please no Dan/Rorschach or Comedian/Ozy.
Characters: Dan Dreiberg, Adrian Veidt, Laurie Juspeczyk
For Trick: pre-canon case fic where a character stumbles into supernatural stuff while investigating a crime? Or maybe post-canon, where they are haunted by either other masks or the victims.
Dead Ringers (1988), Fic - Trick or Treat
Characters: Beverly Mantle, Elliot Mantle.
Notes: Given the canon, permanent character death and body horror are fine for this fandom.
Honestly? I'll take anything.
Gone Girl (2014), Fic - Trick
Characters: Margo Dunne, Amy Elliott Dunne
BotB suggestion: From Her to Eternity, or Henry Lee, or Where the Wild Roses Grow
I'll take anything for this one as well.
