Date: 2012-11-13 05:14 pm (UTC)How do you feel about a passing mention of knotting (in a completely plausible scenario. LOL)?
Only in reference to bestiality? or is there flexibility with some human-deviant-penis knotting? Or I'd rather you not?
It can be added/removed very easily so whatever you like. Just let me know.
no subject
Date: 2012-11-13 07:23 pm (UTC)I'm fine with mentions of knotting and I'm flexible with both.
If you DO go into knotting detail, I humbly request a bit of research, as I have yet to read a knotting fic that has done it "correctly". (which is to say, erection and engorging of the knot occurring AFTER penetration, not before)
I partially blame this phenomenon on that tumblr post I saw about "how to write alpha/omega" that basically said "Do not do any research because Googling knotting will freak you out!" .. probably true, but wikipedia-ing the mating habits of canines is a safe start. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_reproduction#Copulation - maybe alphas are alphas because they still have their baculum! LOL!

I am over 18: YES.
For the gift you want to receive
Gift type. Choose one of the following: 'art only' or 'fic only' or 'either' Either is fine, but fic is best.
If you chose art only or either, please answer the following. There are several kinds of art. This post (http://littlewolfstar.livejournal.com/200132.html) will help you decide which art you would prefer to receive. Art types include: drawings (no matter the medium), graphics, or vids. Choose 'drawings' or 'graphics' or 'vids' or 'any art'.
I would prefer drawings!
Would you prefer to request only Merlin/Arthur? Yes. I’m fine with other characters being in the story/art of course, and other minor pairings are fine (I have no preference for those).
Requested pairings option: Merlin/Arthur is the only requirement. Gwaine/Elena would be fine, as would Leon/Morgana, or really any other pairing the author/artist would like to include.
Rating: R or NC-17.
Preferred Era: Modern.
Kinks/Tropes you'd like to see in your gift: Dirty talk, rimming, spanking, edging, Seems Innocent But Isn’t!Merlin, slightly repressed!Arthur, happy ending, humor would be nice but isn’t necessary.
Prompts: Merlin works at the old, rundown bookshop that Arthur bikes past daily on his way to work. Normally Arthur doesn’t spare a second glance at it, but when a winter storm rolls in unexpectedly, he ducks inside and meets Merlin. The two are very different, but as it turns out, opposites do attract.
Squicks (Indicate here if you do not want spoilers for S5 in your gift.): non-con, excessive violence, scat/watersports, drug use
For the gift you are going to give someone else
Please indicate the TYPE (http://littlewolfstar.livejournal.com/200132.html) of art you will be creating: Drawing.
Give the highest and lowest rating you ARE WILLING to write/create: Highest would have to be PG-13, as I’m not comfortable (yet) with drawing manly bits.
Kinks you would prefer NOT to write/create: non-con, animal play, anything too graphically sexual, vampire/werewolf
Preferred Era to write/create: Modern.
Would you prefer to have an assignment with only Merlin/Arthur? YES.
If you said NO, please list the pairings/threesomes you'd prefer to write/create: I’d prefer only M/A.
Anything else we need to know about what you don't want to write/create?
Contact Person/Link: I don’t really have a person you could contact, sorry. :(

Would you prefer to request only Merlin/Arthur? No
Requested pairings option: Merlin/Arthur, Gwen/Morgana. Any other characters you want to use as supporting cast/background pairings are fine!
Rating: G to NC-17
Preferred Era: Either
Kinks/Tropes you'd like to see in your gift: AUs! Space pirates or mafia or office workers or supernatural hunters or just about anything you can think of. Crossdressing, temporary genderswap, bodyswap, banter and snark and people being sarcastic instead of saying how they really feel, friends working together to set their other friends up and maybe falling in love themselves, pining and unrequited love that turns out to be mutual, romantic comedies with zombies, Morgana not being evil and having a support network, magic reveal that isn't resolved quickly, reincarnation, morally-ambiguous!Merlin, ridiculous hipsters, taking a long time to realise they have feelings for someone (and being an idiot about it), first kisses that have been a long time coming, desperate kissing, frottage, pinning someone against a wall to kiss with them, we-appear-to-be-trapped-in-a-small-space-together-let's-make-out, dubious consent in a way that they both would consent if they were able to but current circumstances prevent it (like sex pollen, or magic made them do it).
Prompts: (you don't have to use any of these if you're inspired by anything in my list of kinks/tropes, they're just here as extra inspiration!)
Trapped in a fairytale.
Zombie apocalypse (set in canon-era would be amazing, but modern AU of any kind would be equally fantastic!)
Stardust AU (for example, Merlin is a star that falls to earth and Arthur has the cross the Wall to find him in order to prove his worth as the future King? or not that at all: any kind of fusion with Stardust, I genuinely don't mind how!)
Once Upon A Time AU - Morgana curses Camelot, and sends them all to a world where there are no happy endings. Except that doesn't exactly work out.
Accidental bonding, via magic or a pair of handcuffs they've lost the key to.
Squicks (Indicate here if you do not want spoilers for S5 in your gift.): non-con, permanent character death (unless it's reincarnation fic), physical or emotional abuse, self-harm, mpreg, infidelity, internal monologuing, bleak endings.

Anything else we need to know about what you don't want to write/create? I can't do Uther or Gaius.
Contact Person/Link: it's probably easiest to leave me an anon comment or go through the mods.
