Questions for the creator? Reach out to them via Tumblr (here)!

If you have a very specific prompt and are not flexible, it's best to contact the creator before bidding, even if it fits within their listed parameters. If you are asking for a specific kink, always ask first.

Fanwork Details:
American, Great Lakes Midwestern (lower)-middle class life experience, Pacific Northwest rural life experience, scientific knowledge (biology, endocrinology, genetics, microbiology, immunology, infectious disease ecology, virology, entomology, others as special interests but without formal training), higher-education academic experience, laboratory research experience

Relevant experience/background:
I'm a midwestern-born American (rural great lakes state) who has a post-secondary (Master's) degree in molecular biology, microbiology, and biochemistry and have worked in an academic research lab for the past 10+ years. I lived in the Pacific Northwest of the USA for most of those years of experience (recently moved back to the midwest), so I can talk about/fact check as needed for that region as well. I love thinking about the sci-fi future of science and medicine and always have such a fun time coming up with the cool science behind some plot-phenomena in a story, keeping it as accurate and close to real life as you wish, but it's also fun to run off the rails and make up some plausible science to explain things too.

Additional notes about labor offered:
I'm also up for doing a more general alpha/beta read through a piece. I've beta read a lot for other fandom events, so am good at working on a deadline. Alpha reading to me means assisting more with flow, characterization, plot, etc. while beta reading is less development/making sure things are working and more about catching spag/plot holes.

Characters/pairings of interest:
Teen Wolf (Sterek), Star Trek (TOS, AOS, SNW; Spirk aka K/S), The Witcher (Geraskier), The Expanse, BBC Sherlock (Johnlock), BBC Merlin (Merthur), Harry Potter (Drarry), Daniel Craig's James Bond movies (00Q), The Evil Dead (Arthur/Ash), Re-Animator (Danbert), Underworld, Daredevil, Venom (Symbrock), MCU (Stucky).

While I'm good with providing general science/med information to any fandom that requires it (especially for sci-fi/fantasy angst and whump works!), for more in-depth assistance and alpha/beta reading above spag, I feel I'll only be able to do a great job if it's from one of the above listed fandoms, but I'm open to reading/assisting with other pairings beyond those specifically listed.

Subjects/theme/tropes of interest:
Slow burn, angst, whump (both with and without comfort), body horror, gore, ABO (and most of everything that goes along with it), creature fics, meet cutes, getting together, gratuitous violence, pwp (both iterations lmao), and just characters that are really in their heads about it all.

My AO3 works and bookmarks are a good place to see if there's something in particular I'm into, but hopefully the above list is complete enough. I also do reach for fluff and domestic fics every now and then. I will also reach for everything in-between! As long as there's not an overabundance of one of my squicks in your work, I'll be honored to read and edit for you! :)

Unwilling to address:
Squicks include BDSM, dom/sub, bathroom kinks, daddy kinks, sugar daddy/baby relationships, but I am willing to edit works with them if it's not overly represented in the piece.

Other notes:
I'm a slow reader by nature, so when I'm reading to provide edits/feedback (even cheereading!) I read even slower, to really allow things to marinate and for me to provide the best notes on your work that I can. I feel this is a feature and not a bug, but it does mean that really tight deadlines and turnaround times are hard for me to accomplish. But, if I have a free weekend available, I love nothing better than to sit and read!

As for communication - with longer works, delving into it piecemeal helps to facilitate more of a dialogue between you and me, but with pieces less than 20k, usually sending one draft with the whole work is good. After I've read through a chapter or work once, I do like to go back and re-read pieces and may provide additional feedback with those re-reads.

I also find Discord to be the best place to communicate for these projects - especially if you write in a word processing software, since it's so easy to send docs via dms - however, I'm open to other means of communication!

Auctions run from 8:00AM EST, 25 February 2025, to 8:00PM EST, 1 March 2025. Bids before or after this period are invalid and will not be counted. If you would like to bid on this auction:

Step 1: Check the bidding spreadsheet to find out what the current high bid is. (Note: It may take up to five minutes for a bid to appear.)

Step 2: Fill out the creator's bidding form with a bid that is higher than the current high bid. If you want to make it harder for someone to outbid you, bid higher! We will NOT notify you if someone outbids you. FTH will only notify you if you are the high bidder after the auctions end.
