rodo's journal

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
• worldbuilding

Also, while I do not prompt for smut, I would absolutely be happy to receive it! I just don’t know how to prompt for it…


Now for the canons:

• Carnival Row (TV)
• The Fall of the Gas-Lit Empire – Rod Duncan
• 설강화 | Snowdrop (TV)
• Warrior (TV 2019)

first of all, I hope you'll have fun writing something for me! I hope this letter gives you some idea of what I like about the canons and characters I requested and also maybe some idea where to start.

Generally speaking, I like stuff that is a similar tone to canon, with the exception of some of the really dark canons, where I prefer my fic a shade or two lighter. But if you stick to the level of darkness/sadness/fluff that is present in canon, you should be safe. The same goes for anything that might need a warning (graphic depictions of violence, character death, underage, non-con etc.) – if it's a part of canon, or a reasonable extrapolation (*cough*Game of Thrones*cough*), knock yourself out if that is what you want to write. The only things that I really do not want are detailed depictions of depression and alcoholism, which are possible triggers for me (sadness and alcohol consumption are fine, though). But other than that, I really don't have any hard DNWs. Everything else is fandom specific.
