Drone Season: Dear Author Letter

Hello there, mystery creator!

If you're reading this, I applaud you, because this exchange didn't require dear author letters, but I've just gotten in such a habit of writing them that I decided to go ahead and do one anyway. Anything contained herein is entirely optional, as you're really only required to write me the characters I've asked for engaging in some frisky business, but considering that we're both here for an exchange focused around the sexy? Hopefully we're both down for some thoughts about kink.



First up, if you're an artist, I love you and don't have very much to say that's specific to someone working in a visual medium. I love creative and dramatic color palettes, and I love good body language and a focus on faces/expressions. If you'd like to see the kind of art I like, my tumblr has a lot of examples, as most of my reblogs are fanart/illustration.

If you've read my prompts, by now you have probably noticed that I really, really like power dynamics, especially in the context of D/s. If you don't like BDSM, I am so sorry you've been paired with me, because all of my prompts are geared in that direction. The Bro/Cronus one is the only one that I can see working well completely free of that flavor. Otherwise, D/s is my lifeblood.

Things I really love include femdom, pegging, enthusiastic consent, sexual negotiation, dirty talk, begging, humiliation, painplay both with implements and in the vein of spanking/biting/scratching, orgasm control/delay, and edging in general. I also love seeing aftercare. Pretty much any of these things (save the femdom or pegging) I am totally down for with any of the pairings I've requested, even if I didn't talk about them in the prompt space.

For the most part, I think my prompts are pretty well elaborated on, to the point where I want to throw a PLEASE DO NOT FEEL TOO HEMMED IN disclaimer out here. I tend to lead into fairly specific scenes, with a couple options for each, but if there's something else you want to do with any of my pairings, bring it on. Mostly, I would like to avoid a very subby Jade or Rose, and while the Vriska/Eridan/Rose prompt opens the doors to some iffy stuff, with the other four, I would prefer if consent is very clearly given.

With any of my prompts, I'm down for pretty much any AU setting you might choose to frame it with. I would actually prefer a regular old realworld or shared universe setting where the game was never played, to works that are canon compliant. However, I'd definitely prefer troll characters be trolls rather than humanstuck.

For troll anatomy, I tend to default to nook/tentabulge combo on both sexes. If you have any more creative headcanons, bring them on, I have yet to encounter a xeno headcanon I can't get behind. But I do vastly prefer alien genitalia to "trolls having penis and vagina analogues."

To expand on the specific things I've asked for -- with omorashi, I like it to be about desperation and humiliation. I don't find pee in and of itself to be sexy so I've never been especially interested in sensory descriptions. I prefer a focus on how the party in control could allow their partner to save face, and I love them pressing their partner in ways that might make them lose it and piss themselves, and I definitely prefer to see the full loss of control, either when their partner pushes them past their ability to hold it or when they just give in and let go. With the humiliation, I prefer it where yes, the character is deeply ashamed, but their arousal is very obviously coming from it, rather than the character just seeming to plain old feel bad.

With CBT, I like it to be about finesse and control, and to be very, very hands-on. Implements are fun, but I particularly like to see dick abuse of the squeezing/crushing/scratching variety. Cruel and intimate. I prefer for there to be a cerebral aspect (which is why I prefer Dirk and Rose for this, as they are both very cerebral characters), with a lot of talk about how the recipient deserves it, and likes it, and they can take just a little bit more, can't they? I like it to be a test more than a punishment -- it isn't that the character has done something wrong, but that if he can withstand his treatment like a good, sweet boy, he'll get something even nicer after. Think petting and praise and an orgasm. I like it paired with orgasm delay, and with limit-testing.

The one other request that might benefit from kink elaboration is the Rose/Eridan/Vriska. I'll honestly take just about anything for that pairing that's genuinely poly and not "one couple and one interloper," but the fic of my dreams is the one with the reckless tempting of fate. I either want them to be dumb and stupid and arguably in love, forcing each other to do dangerous things because it's exciting and the adrenaline rush from courting danger just really makes them want to fuck, and makes the sex that much better. Or I want some kind of AU where they're criminals or have some other dangerous line of work, and the danger is inherent to their lifestyle but they all get off on it and use it to spice up their sex lives.

I like to see all three of them able to hold their own against either of the others, but where two members joining forces can be the third's undoing. They're all competitive, and I'm totally down for possessiveness, and selfishness, and jealously when one partner gives more attention to the other than to the newly jealous party. I want to see them kind of being a hot mess but where their relationship is in a sort of equilibrium where they're not entirely bad for each other. Where there's genuine respect and enjoyment for the others' company between them.

Anyway, this has become quite long! If you've read it, thank you so much! I really just want to mention anything that'd make me really sad to receive, but as long as you deliver the pairings I've asked for, I believe that will be rather hard to do! Good luck, and happy creating.
