Dear writer,

First off: thank you very much for writing for me! I'm fairly easy to please if you love romcoms and slow burn UvU anything with a happy ending, I'm happy. If you want a more general list of my favorite tropes, I've listed them on twitter (https://twitter.com/gogo_puffin/status/871992213130985472).

Here are some prompts for your consideration:

MOVIE AUs:

I have some East Asian movies that have stayed with me all these years and I will never stop wanting AUs for them in my fandoms. Tale of Two Sisters, The Banquet/Legend of the Black Scorpion, Curse of the Golden Flower, Battle Royale and Confessions/Kokuhaku are some of the darker ones, but I also really enjoy Studio Ghibli movies, stuff by Makoto Shinkai (Your Name, 5 CM Per Second, Children who Chase Lost Voices, etc.), Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and some slice of life/coming of age flicks like the Honey and Clover film version.

Alternatively, I also really, REALLY love romcom flicks, and if you don't dig any of the movies listed above I would also really love any of the ff AUs:

• While you were sleeping
• You've got mail
• Notting hill
• When Harry met Sally
• Breakfast at Tiffany's
• 27 dresses
• My best friend's wedding
• Heartbeats
• The princess bride
• Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
• Roman holiday
• Groundhog day
• She's the Man
• Parent trap (DOES IT COUNT AS ROMCOM, IDK)

Please note that the ships don't necessarily have to be end game for the horror/drama films. Additionally, the plot doesn't necessarily have to stay faithful to the movie, just as long as the general premise is the same.

GAMING TROPES:

I'm a huge fan of RPGs and some horror games, so an AU inspired by any of these games would be fun to read:

• Fire Emblem (but not all games in the franchise)
• Golden Sun
• Professor Layton
• Ace Attorney
• Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons
• Undertale
• Amnesia: Dark Descent
• Ib
• Witch's House
• Until Dawn
• Tokimeki Memorial
• Brave Story
• Persona/Shin Megami Tensei
• Summon Night

If you have other games you're interested in doing, let me know and I'll see if it's not in my 'would rather not read' list. (Though, as an advanced warning, I'm not too big on reading Final Fantasy/Dragon Warrior/Kingdom Hearts fic)

GENERAL TROPES:

ALTERNATIVELY: here are some other tropes/ideas to get the ball rolling:

• Character A meeting B at a group date in uni. Or at a matchmaking service/omiai-esque meeting.
• Adolescent fumbling and lots of pining, maybe with both of them in the same club or as childhood friends or whatever
• WEDDING FIC, BYE
• awkward meet the parents. Or the siblings. Bonus points if the dog/cat hates Character A
• any kind of domestic fic!!!!! Bonus points for Babies Ever After
• double dates/fake dates/pretending NOT to be dating
• character A gets trapped in a parallel universe where he and character B are in an established relationship (or otherwise)
• handsome/lovely adversary ("She's gorgeous, I hate her") with a pinch of enemies to lovers
• famous/non-famous AU with A as a manager to the love interest B. Or something completely different, haha.
• rivalry AUs! I love rivalry and competition!!! this might also count as enemies/rivals to friends to lovers
• genderbend/rule 63/woke up as a girl
• ABO!!!!!!!! but I love trope subversions more than the usual weepy/desperate omega begging for the possessive alpha's knot...

SQUICKS:

General squicks I have include:

• cheating/NTR/infidelity
• anything involving math or science, especially astrology/astronomy -- hated it in school, still hate reading about it even now
• relying on too much pop culture references as a central theme to the plot
• overly detailed mpreg (I'm fine with the babies ever after aspect of it, but let's not think too deeply about the actual process of giving birth and whatnot, please TvT)
• dubcon/noncon/rape
• office aus or school aus ostensibly set in korea but having barely any semblance to the local culture and context. (even better: please avoid turning the setting into US/Europe unless it's a travel/backpacker AU)
• character death (though exceptions to the rule can be made under... compelling circumstances for plot reasons, but I tend to be very picky about this, as a warning)

A separate list details the stuff that generally makes me wince (https://twitter.com/gogo_puffin/status/872265120734261249), as additional reference.

Thanks again for writing for me. I hope you have a great time ♥
