Dear Creator (@ficinabox)

Hello and welcome! For the record, I am also ziskandra on AO3.

I look forward to seeing whatever you create for me. While I have included prompts for my requests, please don't feel beholden to them if something I've mentioned, or my likes list, inspires you in a different direction! The prompts are just there to help in case you need some more specific ideas.

Likes: angst with an unhappy ending, apocalypse AU, bittersweet endings, body horror, canon divergences, character studies, dubcon due to power imbalances/altered states, drunk confessions, fake dating, first times, five times fic, femdom, huddling for warmth, internalised prejudice and repressed feelings, light bondage, on the run from the law, orgasm delay/denial, pegging, pining (requited or not), rough sex, setting change AUs, sex pollen, smutty character studies, soulmate AUs (both inverted and played straight), time-travel, unconventional formats and POVs (e.g. mixed media, interactive fiction, first/second person, outsider POV), watersports.

On opt-ins

• Fic length: I like long fics and drabbles and everything in between. If you want to write me 100 drabbles, I would be absolutely thrilled.


• Fanart: I like bright colours, abstract shapes, warmth and validation. My favourite nature scenes are sunrises and sunsets. I prefer more realistic styles over cartoon/anime designs, but honestly, I'd enjoy any art you might create for me!


• In-Universe documents: I'm here for all of it, especially if it ties into canon in some way. Legal files for the lawyers? Perfect! Script for a musical? I'd love that.


• Character analysis: my favourite beats for a character-meta post are delving into what a character is like on the outside and how that contrasts with how they view themselves internally. What are their motivations, what makes them tick? I'd also be intrigued by in-universe meta and how that might compare to an out-of-universe analysis.


• Podfics/remixes: I'm vain and love the idea that somebody might be inspired by my fics. You can find my stories on AO3 here. I mostly write brief flashes of a character's life/relationships, whether that be smut with feelings or a vignette-style series exploring how they became the people they are today. A potential remix could focus on any aspect you like; I'm not fussed!


• Reddit posts: in addition to the well-known subreddits such as r/relationships and r/aita, I'd be keen to see a character post on their city's reddit board, or any reddit aligned with their hobbies. Is the character the type to post on r/HobbyDrama? Is Franziska the secret admin of r/Gavinners? The world is your oyster! In settings that don't have the internet, feel free to either modern AU it up, adapt it to the setting, or just handwave it.
