LJ Name: fluffyllama
AO3 Name: Llama
email address: will send to the mods direct
I am over 18: Yes

For the gift you want to receive

Gift type: Either, and for art - any art

Would you prefer to request only Merlin/Arthur? Yes. Any supporting characters welcome, but I'm especially fond of seeing an awesome (and preferably non-evil) Morgana in fics. There are no characters or pairings that would spoil my gift,
as long as it's not mentioned in squicks.

Rating: PG-13 to NC-17

Preferred Era: Either

Kinks/Tropes you'd like to see in your gift: I really don't have any specific ones, so as long as you avoid my squicks feel free to go wild! If you need something to work from though, read on. Things I enjoy generally in fic tend to be - characters dropped into dangerous situations, fairly bleak settings where characters find something beautiful between
them despite that, 'the two of us against the world' scenarios, imprisonment, insanity, amnesia, illusions, and on the slightly lighter side I'm a complete sucker for 'huddling together for warmth' scenarios. It doesn't have to be dark (I know it sounds like it in places!) as long as all is not fluff and sparkles from start to finish. I prefer a hopeful or happy ending if possible, but an appropriate ending is great even if it's neither. Hopefully there is enough there to inspire art as well if necessary.

It would genuinely make me happier to know the writer/artist had fun doing it rather than stressing over fulfilling my every wish and request, though.

Prompts: Winter, journey, nightmare.

Squicks: Spoilers are fine. Squicks - pure fluff, wing!fic, second person POV, mpreg (unless horror, I'd rather not have any preg at all). I'd prefer dragons were kept to a minimum and cute baby ones left out altogether. Yes, I'm the only person ever who finds dragons boring.

For the gift you are going to give someone else

Give the highest and lowest rating you ARE WILLING to write/create: Any, though I'm most comfortable with R/NC-17.

Kinks you would prefer NOT to write/create: wing!fic, mpreg,

Preferred Era to write/create: Canon preferred, modern okay as long as the requests aren't exclusively college AUs
and baristas, or other things a grumpy old Brit might have trouble getting to grips with ;-)

Would you prefer to have an assignment with only Merlin/Arthur? Yes, though if that makes matching up a problem I'm okay with others as long as M/A is one of the options requested.

Anything else we need to know about what you don't want to write/create? Second person POV, and no dragons. As mentioned above I'm not the person to write an American-style college AU or barista fic. If you wanted them to run a pub
or something, that'd be different *g*

Contact Person/Link: There isn't really anyone who could answer questions on my tastes in this fandom, and honestly I think everything I wouldn't like is mentioned here. If my writer has something way out there then I say go for it. If they are really worried about I could answer an anon question if it would help?
