Dear Author,

Hi, and thanks for participating in this exchange! I’m capitola on AO3, dreamwidth, and tumblr. I tend to prefer getting detailed prompts, so that’s what I’ve written here, but if you have your own ideas for the prompts that don’t match to the letter that’s absolutely fine. I’m just excited about getting to read whatever you end up writing.

 

General Likes:

I’m a big fan of horror movies, especially bloody ones, and cosmic horror. I like vampires, were-creatures, tentacle creatures, and ghosts that may or may not be there. Some other general likes include: messy, codependent relationships; loving relationships between terrible people; fluff in the midst of terrible situations; roadtrips; abandoned locations/civilizations; scars (either old scars or characters obsessing over the scar a new wound might leave); fridge horror, guilt (especially religious guilt); grifters; manipulative relationships and relationships with power imbalances, voyeurism; possessive sex.

DNWs: 

Watersports/scat/vomit, bestiality (sex with monsters with human intelligence or greater is not bestiality), non-consensual pregnancy/oviposition, institutionalization, medical/surgical torture, fridging female characters, 1st/2nd person POV, miscarriage, explicit child abuse.

Prompts:

Critical Role:

Keyleth/Raishan (Critical Role), Keyleth & Raishan (Critical Role)

Type: Body Horror, Type: Dark Fantasy, Type: Gothic Horror, Type: Paranormal HorrorType: Psychological Horror

I just really want more content for this ship. I have this idea of a kind of gothic/psychological horror AU where Keyleth doesn't know what Raishan is, and starts to suspect her of being a monster, and of trying to manipulate Keyleth's own abilities in monstrous ways. Mentor/mentee relationship, and a more traditional gothic setting would both be pluses on this one.

Nott & Caleb Widogast (Critical Role)

Type: Monster Horror, Type: Paranormal Horror

Modern or historical AU, codependent vampire roommates. Angst from Nott/Veth about having to leave her family behind when she became a vampire, angst from both of them about having been turned against their will, running from humans and from other vampires. 

I really do not like it when Nott is written as Caleb's "mother." They are equally weird partners in crime who look out for each other and she is not his mom.

The Mighty Nein - Romantic (Critical Role), Vox Machina - Romantic (Critical Role), The Mighty Nein - Platonic (Critical Role), Vox Machina - Platonic (Critical Role)

Type: Body Horror, Type: Cosmic/Lovecraftian Horror, Type: Folk Horror, Type: Gothic Horror, Type: Institutional Horror, Type: Paranormal Horror, Type: Psychological Horror, Type: Religious Horror, Type: Violent Horror

Either team is fine for this one, and I really like polynein and polymachina but I'm also fine with platonic. I like the canon ships for VM just fine, but I also like any intra-team permutations. My favorite of the Mighty Nein is Nott/Veth and my favorite of Vox Machina is Vex.

Some ideas:

-modern AU roadtrip/camping trip that gets weird

-modern AU ghost/monster-hunting ala Scooby-Doo

-Fallen London AU - what kinds of deals they would make and what kinds of monsters they would choose or be forced to become

Astrid/Eodwulf/Caleb Widogast (Critical Role)

Type: Cosmic/Lovecraftian Horror, Type: Dark Fantasy, Type: Folk Horror, Type: Gothic Horror, Type: Institutional Horror, Type: Paranormal Horror, Type: Violent Horror

There's a lot of inherent horror with these three already. A couple ideas:

-An AU where Caleb/Bren never breaks and the three of them excel, but they all begin to slowly lose trust in each other as their power grows.

-Astrid and Eodwulf tapping into some kind of dark magic to heal or better control Caleb, with disastrous results.

The Black Tapes Podcast

Alex Reagan/Richard Strand (Black Tapes Podcast)

Type: Monster Horror, Type: Paranormal Horror, Type: Cosmic/Lovecraftian Horror, Type: Religious Horror

I support Alex Reagan and her bad decisions in life. I would love a late 19th/early 20th century AU for this? I think a lot of the tropes of the series would function the same way. Muckraking bluestocking journalist Alex and area-man-who’s-had-it-up-to-here-with-spiritualism Strand? Horror elements up to you, I think the series has a lot to choose from.

Original Work: Solo Nonhuman Character | 1+ Nonhuman Characters in Ships

Type: Body Horror, Type: Cosmic/Lovecraftian Horror, Type: Dark Fantasy, Type: Folk Horror, Type: Gothic Horror, Type: Monster Horror, Type: Paranormal Horror, Type: Psychological Horror

(F/M) Reverse Anglerfish Mermaid/Man Who Was Hoping For the Other Kind of Mermaid (OWNH)
I'm a big fan of sea creatures that talk through telepathy. Will be honest that I'm a little shaky on exactly what a reverse anglerfish mermaid is, so if you know that's great, but I'm okay with any variant of mermaid/fish creature.

(F) Solo: Vampire Hunter Who Is Secretly A Vampire (OWNH)
Was she a vampire hunter who got turned, or did she get turned and decide to become a vampire hunter? Does she seek to keep her secret from other vampires, or other hunters?

(F/X) Female Scientist/Sentient Tentacle Monster She's Studying (OWNH)
The only thing I'll say about this prompt is that I think the sexiest female scientist in fiction is Olivia Octavius in Into the Spider-Verse.

(F/X) Resourceful Sex Worker/Potential Client Who May or May Not Be the Devil (OWNH)
I would prefer a female or gender-variant client. 

(F/F) Demon Summoner/Demon They Summoned By Mistake (OWNH)
How exactly does one summon a demon by mistake? Trying to summon something else? Trying to escape from something worse? Boredom? If the demon is "sexy," I think she should still be sort of...off, too many teeth in her mouth and too many fingers on her hands, and her skin burns unnaturally hot. If the demon is not traditionally sexy I think the sky is the limit.
(F/F/F) Boarding School Pupil/Her Schoolmate/Ghost of a Schoolgirl (OWNH)
For obvious reasons I would prefer if the characters in this are late teens. Did they know the ghost when she was alive, or has she been there for decades? Does the ghost have a romance with one of the living girls first, or does she join in on the living girls' relationship? The ghost could possess or "ride along" in one of them, or perhaps they don't even realize she's there.

Original Work: Solo Human Character | Human Ships  

(F/M) Suspected Serial Killer/Man Who May or May Not Be Her Next Intended Victim (OWH)

Type: Cosmic/Lovecraftian Horror, Type: Folk Horror, Type: Killer Horror, Type: Psychological Horror, Type: Violent Horror


I think this would be really interesting if the man was some kind of detective or private investigator, with some knowledge of the killer and what she does to her victims. Maybe she’s very attractive and he doesn’t want to suspect her, or maybe he thinks he wants to suspect her too much, and needs to convince himself beyond all doubt. Furthermore, is she killing her victims directly? Or is she leading them/feeding them to something worse?


And thanks again <3
