Hello, my AO3 username is Rhizophora, and thank you for writing for me! If you have any questions to pass through the mods I am more than happy to answer. Basically: I love my teeny fandoms, and I will adore anything you care to write for them minding DNWs.

Any rating/pairing you care to write would be excellent. I enjoy a wide variety of things, including but not limited to fluff, angst, smut, hurt/comfort, canon-typical violence, aliens, xeno, bodily transformation, wholesome romance, humor, utter misery, women supporting women, and darker/toxic romance. I'm fine with pregnancy (including mpreg for non-human characters/modified human characters), parenthood, and family themes. I'm happy with putting characters through abuse as long as there is a happy ending--or, at least, the possibility of an eventual happy ending!

General DNWs Noncon/sexual violence against women, on-screen domestic violence (mentions are ok), portrayal of women as helpless victims, women's bodies portrayed as unpleasant/nasty, child abuse, explicit underage, scat, main character death, unrequested gender headcanons (i.e. cis characters should remain cis and agender characters should remain agender), 1st or 2nd person, poetry (snippets are fine), unrequested AUs, no-hope endings, miscarriage/abortion, traumatic childbirth/PPD (please note that I'm fine with realistically unpleasant portrayals of childbirth; I am specifically DNWing intense and lingering mental/physical trauma linked to childbirth), unhappy endings.

Any rating/pairing you care to write would be excellent. I enjoy a wide variety of things, including but not limited to fluff, angst, smut, hurt/comfort, canon-typical violence, aliens, xeno, bodily transformation (of the horrific, agonizing variety OR the more relaxed variety, as in Resident Alien or Labyrinth), wholesome romance, humor, utter misery, women supporting women, and darker/upsetting romance. I'm fine with mpreg in all of these fandoms. I'm happy with putting characters through abuse as long as there is a happy ending--or, at least, the possibility of an eventual happy ending!

Things I am fine with

I've seen some/a lot of these as DNWs. These aren't particular requests of mine, but I don't mind if they're mentioned or included.

• Pregnancy
• Childbirth (non-kinky & non-graphic pls)
• Abortion
• Characters with kids
• Mpreg in non-humans/part-humans (most alien fandoms are made for it tbh)
• Natural human body functions (non-kinky & non-graphic pls)
• Animal/human death
• Homophobia/bigotry (DNW fic PROMOTING bigotry, but if you're writing an AU historical fic or something, feel free to be realistic about what characters are dealing with)
• Canon-level violence in any fandom, and graphic violence in OW

General DNWs

Overall, I would say that while I don't at all mind darker plot points and I love hurt/comfort and angst, I prefer happy or at least hopeful endings. Feel free to rain misery on characters as long as they rise above it and overcome it. I would also prefer to avoid stories that focus heavily on kink or porn without plot, unless ofc the kink/porn drives the plot/angst/deep emotional turmoil. Smut is great, I just want to dip into the characters' emotions and motives as well as describing their bits!

• Child abuse/death, unless it's part of established canon
• Sex scenes involving minors (romance between two minors is fine as long as it's cute and PG)
• Sex scenes involving animals
• On-screen domestic violence (referring to it having happened is fine)
• On-screen sexual violence against women (referring to it having happened is fine, as long as it's not the main plot driver, and I'm fine with it in general as long as it's portrayed as an act of violence and not romantic)
• Noncon/sexual violence where the victim learns to love the abuser, or where the perpetrator is portrayed as a hero/misunderstood ("X made them do it"-style dubcon ending in romance, especially in a sci-fi/fantasy setting, is fine!)
• Dom/sub or BDSM dynamics (unless the kink drives the eMoTiOnS and deep inner turmoil, that's fine!)
• A/B/O dynamics in humans (non-human species are fine; speculative biology is A-OK!)
• Women submissive to men in bed
• Vomit/scat in a sexy context
• Permanent mutilation/amputation, unless it's part of established canon
• Main character death
• No-hope endings
• Poetry (snippets for flavor are great, just not entire poems as fic)
• 1st or 2nd person POV
• Wildly OOC smut—feel free to smut it up, just give them some reason to be doing it!
