Special interests (what is this?): Aro/ace characters, Canonically trans or nonbinary chars, Gen (no ship) or platonic works, Trans or nonbinary interpretations of canon characters

Characters/pairings of interest:
MDZS - I like Wangxian, the relationship between Wei Wuxian, Wen Qing, Wen Ning, A-Yuan, and the other folks of the burial mounds, and the relationship between Nie Huaisang and Nie Mingjue. Also Mo Xuanyu. Tolkien - I really love Lomion/Maeglin, the Feanorians, the relationship between Elrond, Erestor, and Glorfindel, and the Kidnap Fam (Elrond, Maedhros, Elros, and Maglor as family) Akatsuki No Yona - I really love the coup crew (Soo-won, Kye-sook, and Joo-doh) but I will also write things about the Happy Hungry Bunch (just note that I am NOT a fan of Hak and Yona, so...yeah. But I love the dragon warriors!)

Subjects/theme/tropes of interest:
All fandoms - Though I may or may not explicitly state it, pretty much everyone that I write is neurodivergent becuase I am neurodivergent and don't know how to write neurotypicals and there are very, very few characters that I write as cis. MDZS - I will only write neurodivergent Wangxian. I really enjoy writing things about Guidao (book canon, not whatever is going on with Guidao in CQL, although I do write with a lot of the visuals in the donghua, like Wei Wuxian's red eyes) I also like writing about all cultivation! Tolkien - I enjoy anything in Imladris with Elrond, Erestor, and Glorfindel, events in Gondolin or Nan Elmoth centred around Lomion, the Kidnap fam, and anything about ghosts. And Linguistics!!! Akatuski No Yona - I really like writing either about Soo-won and Kye-sook's childhood and anything about Yōkai!

Unwilling to address:
I will not write any NSFW MDZS - I will not write anything that is sympathetic to the Jiang family or that follows CQL canon in which Wei Wuxian was not at fault for the thousands of cultivators who died at his hands. Or anything NSFW and along those lines. Tolkien - I will not write anything that is in any way sympathetic to Eol. I will not write romance except for Glorestor, and not a story that centres on romance. Like, I like having Glorestor be married as a background thing and providing support for one another, but I won't write something that is only about romance. Akatsuki No Yona - I will not write romance or anything that is sympathetic to Il or Hak.

Other notes:
I would really enjoy writing something about ghosts or myths. I am a writer who has more strength in descriptions, rather than dialogue, and I will likely struggle with writing something very long unless it something that I am REALLY, REALLY engaged in. Due to my inability to focus on things that I am not interested in, I would prefer less specific prompts. I am willing to work with the bidder a little in terms of storytelling. (Also a note about the works that I already have posted on AO3 - these are not all of my works. I write a lot of fanfiction just for me, and don't wish to post it, so that is why there are so few things posted there)
