Dear Chocolatier,

first off, I hope you’re going to have fun writing for me and that this letter helps. I’d also like to say that I’d like fic for all the characters/pairings/fandoms I’m requesting here, whether it follows my prompts or not. If you have an idea that you absolutely want to write about these characters and it doesn’t go against my DNWs, feel free to write it. And if you think you have a better idea than me (which is quite likely) the same applies.

My AO3 Name: Rodo

General Do Not Wants:

• detailed depictions of depression and alcoholism
• a story being in both first person and present tense
• unrequested non-canonical pairings for canon characters
• setting AUs (like coffeeshop!AUs or space!AUs)
• Korean speech patterns in English stories. By that I mean use of honorifics (-sshi, -nim), stuff like eomma and hyung, job titles, the use of names when a pronoun would usually be used in English, vocative markers (-(y)ah) or subject markers (-i(e) being the one I usually come across in fic). I am fine with Korean name order, since that is also used in English.
• character/relationship studies

General Likes:

• stories with a similar tone and theme as canon
• casefic
• plotty fics in general
• complicated interpersonal relationships
• nuanced friendships and family relationships
• post-canon fic
• canon-divergence AUs
• pining and slow burn
• deep passion or devotion (to a person or a cause)
• action/adventure, heists and cons
• humour

Now for the canons:

• Carnival Row (TV)
• 악의 꽃 | Flower of Evil
• Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (2013)
• 미스터 션샤인 | Mr. Sunshine (TV)
• 진심이 닿다 | Touch Your Heart (TV)
• Warrior (TV 2019)

A Holidays and 2021 Retrospective

So, fandom-wise, most of 2021 was a bit of a miss for me, with fandomgiftbox folding, me being really busy all of a sudden in RL and, you know, everything. But the past month really turned the year around for me!

♣ I participated in getyourwordsout last year and actually managed to meet my (low, but I’ve never been terribly prolific) word count target in November, thanks to NaNo (which I won again)!

♣ Through holiday_wishes, I got DW paid time (thank you so much, anonymous people!) and a couple of post cards that I really enjoyed. I hope the ones I sent made it to their destinations safely as well. For some reason, sending and receiving holiday mail always makes me happy. Also, again, thank you so much, people who offered to beta some of the fics I'd thought were doomed to linger in the drafts folder forever.

♣ In an effort to be more active in fandom again, I’ll try to participate in the snowflake_challenge this January. I already did the first challenge and updated my info.

♣ For Yuletide, I didn’t get just one good fic, I got two! For a fandom I’ve been requesting for ages:

I actually guessed both of my authors correctly too. If you’ve watched My Secret Terrius, read the fics! If you haven’t, watch it (it may be on Netflix where you live) and then come back to read the fics.
