Dear Exchange Creator

Dear Exchange creator: Thank you for making something for me!

My AO3 name is firecat

My number one want: I hope you create something you enjoy, and have fun. I've included my likes and opt-ins, in case you want something to start from, but it's absolutely fine with me if you want to go in a different direction.

This is my generic list of likes, opt-ins, and DNWs for exchanges where I didn't create a letter with specific prompts.

Now with cat!

Art likes

I am essentially a complete idiot about art. However, I am a fairly easy-to-please idiot. I like many art styles. I like art of physical interactions between characters (struggling or cuddling or fierce or tender or sexy or smutty). You can never go wrong with a cat. ;) Opt-in to explicit and/or violent imagery.

Opt-ins

These often appear in DNW lists. They aren't things I actively seek out but I am fine with them, unless otherwise stated in my signup.

• A/B/O
• Epidemic, illness, pandemic (exception: Covid-19)
• Readerfic
• Setting-change AUs
• Underage sex (down to age 15); adult/underage sex

DNWs and dislikes

If my signup contradicts these, please use what's in the signup.

Please don't include:

• Fat hate, deliberate weight change, (giving/enjoying food is fine)
• Hopeless ending, unless requested (hopeless beginnings and middles are fine, ambiguous endings are fine)
• Non-canon permanent character death, unless requested
• Non-sentient animal suffering (OK to mention briefly, just don't dwell on it)
• Pregnancy / childbirth of human women bearing human offspring
• Scat, Emetophilia (vomit OK in nonsexual context)
• Underage (<15) sex depicted (OK as background)
• Stuffing kink, if it’s done by humans to other humans (monsters, deities doing it is OK)

These are OK in the background but I'd rather the story not focus on them, unless otherwise requested:

• Children under 15
• Domesticity, curtainfic involving human heterosexual couples
• Homophobia (OK to briefly include period-typical attitudes, temporary internal ambivalence)
• Infidelity, monogamy, polyamory negotiations (characters being either monogamous or polyamorous are fine, I just don’t want talking about relationship style to be a big deal in the story)
