Shipoween!

Hey there, Shipoween author!

I ticked all the boxes in the sign-up form because I wasn't sure how to indicate that I don't mind if there's a theme or not. I don't mind! I like spooky things, I like seasonal things. And bonus southern hemisphere goodness: it's spring here! Let me give you a free pass to other, non-regulation seasonal tropes like hayfever and mild sunburn.

General likes: Plot, competence, sexy times, light kink or D/s dynamics. Characters having quiet moments. Visible queer presences, gender fluidity, people comfortable with their identities and living their best lives. Happy endings. Alternate universes of the non-mundane kind.

Horror likes: Spooky much more than gory, creepypasta, paranormal weirdness, people living normal lives with their weirdnesses, abilities like psychometry or talking to ghosts or lycanthropy, dimensional shifts, Lovecraftian monsters oozing into this dimension, Ouija boards and professional psychics, exorcisms, cryptozoology.

Seasonal likes: I'm taking this to mean tropey stuff like huddling for warmth or sharing umbrellas or dealing with wet dogs or raking up fallen leaves? I'm good with that. I'm good with all the tropey domestic goodness, to be honest, though being an Aussie, I have only peripheral experience with Halloween, and my knowledge of Thanksgiving extends only as far as popular media. Also, it's spring here, so if you want to write your faves dealing with hayfever or marvelling over new leaves on trees and blossom, please feel free.

Prefer not to see (but can take it if the story goes that way): Embarrassment, angst, sad endings, character death.

Concrete DNWs: Teacher/Student, cross-gen, pregnancy, animal suffering, body horror, partner death and grieving.

( Fandoms: X-Files/Mindhunter, Hellblazer/The Exorcist, Person of Interest, The Exorcist,  )
