Special interests (what is this?): Canonically trans or nonbinary chars, F/F ships, Gen (no ship) or platonic works

Subjects/theme/tropes of interest:
In general, I like taking underdeveloped corners of a canon and expanding on them. I like feeling like I left the world of the canon a little bigger than I found it. What this generally means in practice is that I tend to prefer writing about side characters rather than the main ones! This is a general preference, not a hard rule, of course.

Unwilling to address:
I'm not interested in writing anything that is outright pornographic; defined here as something where the main goal of the piece is to get to sexually explicit material. I have no qualms with writing sexually explicit (and violent, for that matter) material, but it should be in service of a story and not its aims.

The above also includes fetish stories, where there may or may not be anything strictly speaking sexual happening, but the goal of the story is nonetheless to get to the subject of one's paraphilia.

There's nothing wrong with fetishes and pornography, I'm just not comfortable custom-making it for a specific person.

I would also like to avoid the subjects of child sexual abuse and suicide. This does mean that if your desired romantic pairing is between an adult and someone who is not an adult, you should look elsewhere.

Finally, while I am not opposed to writing AU fic in general, I'm not interested in writing fic set in AUs where the purpose of the AU is to subtract drama and stakes from the original work - your classic Everyone-Works-In-A-Coffee-Shop AUs, for example.

Other notes:
As you can probably tell from a perusal of my Ao3 profile, I tend to write introspective fic exploring corners of the story - bits of worldbuilding or characters - that are more obscure or underdeveloped. I'm not much for romantic fluff; it's not what I read, and it's not my natural mode of writing either. If you want light shippy content, I'll do it, but there's almost certainly other writers who your money would be better spent bidding on.

I would prefer to work from a prompt that describes the basic concept and tone, and then we can have a brief back-and-forth about what the expectations for the piece are. But once I have the concept laid down, unless I have questions for you or find I want to change the direction of the piece, I'll basically retreat into my workshop and then emerge later with a finished work for you.
