BAD TASTE!

Hiya! This is just a basic rundown of my fandom/fic preferences. Here is my letter compilation post that has a non-exhaustive list of general thoughts/prompts, and here is my 'creator's choice of previously requested fandom' post (basically a list of all the ships & characters I’m happy to receive content for).



If you’re here because you’re creating something for me, whether it be an assignment or a treat, please don’t stress too much. I’m pretty easy going with exchanges; so long as you avoid my DNWs, things will be fine. ♡

I'm humanveil on AO3. Feel free to peruse over there if you’d like extra info on what I like!

. . . . . . . . . .

DO NOT WANT

I’ll usually include specific DNWs in a sign-up form, in which case you really only need to pay attention to those. I’m one of those people who pretty much can/has read everything, so most of my strict DNWs are fandom/character/ship related.

That said, here are some general DNWs. You can ignore these if my sign-up says something contradictory.

• rape/non-con between requested pairings;
• graphic abuse between requested pairings;
• explicit sexual content for people under 17;
• major or permanent character death;
• animal death/abuse as central theme;
• character or ship bashing – i want to read what i requested, not how bad something i didn’t request is, you know?

SAFE FOR WORK LIKES

These are listed in no particular order.

Genre/Style Likes:

• Pretty much all goes: romance, angst, drama, horror, humour, slice of life, etc. As long as it’s not a DNW, you’re good!
• I’m open to atypical formatting, too. Feel free to write epistolary fic, documents fic, non-linear narratives, transcripts, etc.
• Happy to receive gen, femslash, het, and slash.
• I prefer third and second person POV, but if you think a fic works better in first person pov, feel free to use it.

General Likes:

• canon related (missing scenes, post-eps, pre/post-canon etc.)
• canon-divergent (what-ifs, canon aus, alternate or parallel timelines, etc.)
• dark themes where fitting (obsession, unhealthy dynamics, power dynamics, etc.)
• character and/or relationship studies, atmospheric or introspection fic, etc.
• (emotional) hurt/comfort or hurt-no-comfort & whump
• magical realism aus, canon fusion with supernatural elements.

Ship Likes:

(GENERAL)

• twin flames, touch-starved, protectiveness, that 'we aren't a couple but we definitely aren't Not a couple' thing, us-against-the world, deep devotion, alllll kinds of kisses.

(DARKER)

• obsession, possessiveness, jealousy, twin flames (batshit crazy edition), that 'only i'm allowed to hurt you' thing, mutually-destructive relationships, power imbalance, grooming, manipulation, that 'you know i'd never hurt you' (said while hurting them) thing.

Trope/AU/Fic Theme Likes:

• touch-starved characters, non-sexual intimacy, etc.
• pining and mutual pining
• outsider pov fic
• people who are exes or divorced still fucking around with each other
• rebuilding relationships, getting back together, etc.
• forced proximity or forced working together (in any flavour)
• soul bonds and similar connections, incl. telepathic bonds and magical bonds
• role reversal
• fighting together or working together (competence kink!!)
• serial killer au or criminal/criminal psychologist au (when the characters fit)
• sharing a bed, sharing clothes, sharing a space, etc.
• room mates, neighbours, dorm mates, etc.
• (enemies to) friends to lovers (to enemies)
• fake/pretend relationship, secret relationships, etc.
• texting, phone calls, long-distance relationships, wrong number aus etc.
• sickfic, hurt/comfort.
• kidfic, people bonding with their (potential) lover's children, etc.

The only kind of AU I struggle to get into is royalty stuff. If it’s done well, I’m down to give pretty much anything a go, whether it be from mundane aus or incredibly niche and unique aus, so go wherever your heart desires.
