For the gift you want to receive

Gift type. Choose one of the following: 'art only' or 'fic only' or 'either' (Please note that requests for 'art only' may or may not be fulfilled depending on how many artists join the community this year.)

If you chose art only or either, please answer the following. There are several kinds of art. This <a href="http://littlewolfstar.livejournal.com/200132.html">post</a> 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'. (If you want to give more details on the style of art you are looking for, use this space for that purpose, but please understand that receiving a particular style of art is dependent upon the number of artists who sign up for this fest.)

Would you prefer to request only Merlin/Arthur? Please answer YES or NO. If you said yes, feel free to provide a list of supporting characters you'd like in your fic. Otherwise indicate your Requested pairings below.

Requested pairings option: List 3-5 pairings and characters you’d like featured in your gift, (including Merlin/Arthur if you want them as a choice) Please spell out names. Note that you may receive any of the pairings listed.

Rating: (Please give us the lowest AND highest rating you'd be happy to receive. For example, if you want to ensure explicit sex is in your gift, you'll type: NC-17. If you're happy with lower, you can put PG-13 to NC-17.)

Preferred Era: Canon, Modern, or Either.

Kinks/Tropes you'd like to see in your gift: Please provide a list of your favorite kinks and tropes (For example: jealous!Arthur, hipster!Merlin, reformed!Morgana, spanking, h/c, coffee shop fic, magic reveal, bottom!Arthur, switching, fingering, detailed kissing, the-gang-gets-them-together-fic, etc.) Be as detailed as you'd like, but be aware that your gifter will use your list as a starting point, and may not be able to use everything you list.

Prompts: Give your gifter some ideas for inspiration! You can provide a few key words, 2 or 3 pictures, song lyrics, or a detailed scenario. Go wild! Please note, however, that your gifter is not obligated to use all of your prompts.

Squicks (Indicate here if you do not want spoilers for S5 in your gift.): Please let us know what you do not want in your gift. This can include characters, pairings, situations, tropes, characterizations, or anything else you can think of. For example: (Naked Gaius, jealous!Arthur, D/s, club fic, non-con, food porn, etc.)

For the gift you are going to give someone else

Anything else we need to know about what you don't want to write/create?

Contact Person/Link: List a contact person your gifter can get a hold of concerning your gift, or provide a link to a post listing your likes and dislikes, whichever is easiest.

Please also note that if any of our mods sign up, they will not be counted in the 50 and therefore won't be taking anyone's spot.

Contact Person/Link: I'm going to say

shes_gone and

longleggedgit because we have similar tastes so I trust them. ♥

Stuff tacked on at the end... I should also mention that I adore all supporting characters and love it when they get used. Also, I'm easy. Whatever you decide to write just have a vision and go with it and I'll be happy.

Other squicks: Infidelity; dystopian future fic; incest; first and second person POV.
Other likes: VIRGINS. Arthur, especially makes an excellent one. Even into adulthood. Even if only virgin to guys. It's all good. A bit of anxiety and "I cannot believe this is happening" is good, too. Fumbling and clumsiness so long as they don't kill the mood. I am also a sucker for tropes such as royalty AU, accidental bonding, suddenly and accidentally seeing the other in a sexy new light, finding the secret gay porn stash, overhearing/accidentally seeing other wanking, secretly being aware of the other's kinks, rimming, matter-of-fact yet embarrassed Merlin. For a short, classic example of something I consider awesome, please see

slantedknitting's What Happens In the Tent (Can Keep Happening Long After) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/477695).

I should also say I love writing bawdy (or not so bawdy) farce and comedies of error. Like burning.
