fic* in a box!

Dear Summer of Horror Exchange Creator,

Thank you so much for creating something for me! I am excited to see what you come up with! While I will include some thoughts about, as well as prompts for, the fandoms/dynamics I'm requesting, please don't feel constrained by this letter. I will enjoy and appreciate whatever you create for me in this exchange!

This letter isn't obligatory at all and all of the prompts are completely optional — there is zero expectation on my end for them to be incorporated into your creation.

If, like me, you find it helpful to have more of the recipient's thoughts and ideas when going into creating for an exchange, hopefully this will provide some inspiration or at least give a decent starting point. Some sections are much longer than others, but please don’t feel like I won’t appreciate fanworks for one of the shorter sections just as much — I would be delighted to receive something for any canon I am requesting. Some fandoms and dynamics are easier for me to articulate my thoughts about (or ramble incessantly about). A lot of my ramblings tend to be geared specifically towards fic — I've only recently started to request fanart (just a personal preference until of late), but the fandoms I have opted for art with I 100% would love any fanart. Feel free to take any of my thoughts or prompts and use them towards art for those fandoms.

I also have a general author letter here* if you want a look, plus my auto ao3 app results here.

(*Note: While only the sign-up DNWs are enforceable, if you are like me and take the time to read DNWs in letters, just know that my DNWs have evolved over time and I need to update my general letter post, so you can disregard that section and just rely on the DNWs in my sign-up. :3)
