Thank you for creating for me! I'm within_a_dream on AO3, and I have a tag of previous letters if you want to see more of my requests/get a better idea of what I like.
I’m requesting fic and art for all canons, fanvids for all of my visual fandoms, as well as various other media. For all canons, I’m requesting any length of fic. One 10k fic is great, many smaller fics are also great! The same goes for art – one long comic is great, as are many small doodles, or anything in between. I’ve tried to give prompts suitable to both ends of the spectrum, but if you want more detail on anything, please feel free to ask through the mods!

Thank you for writing or drawing for me! I’ve requested fic and art for all of my fandoms. I am within_a_dream on AO3, and you can read my previous letters here if you want to see some of my previous exchange requests! I have requested both fic and art for all fandoms. Please feel free to include anything I don’t DNW – I have very few kink/smut turnoffs (and they’re all in my DNWs), I’ll enjoy pretty much every plot or trope that you feel goes along with my requested ships, and I’m fine with any other ships in addition to my requested ships.

Ship DNW: Enjolras/Grantaire (unless you're doing poly!Amis). I enjoy the ship, I just want rarer/smaller ships for any Enjolras gifts
Categories
For this fandom, feel free to add Cosette to any Marius slash ships! Or have Marius cheating on Cosette and feeling horribly guilty about it, or just having the gift set in an AU where Marius and Cosette never got together. Marius incest of any sort is also great. Feel free to keep canonical character deaths or do an everyone-lives or some-people-live AU. You’re also welcome to throw in historical figures to ship Marius or Enjolras with, or throw in OCs for noncon or dubcon.

Thank you for writing or drawing for me! I am very excited for this exchange. I have some genre preferences in my likes, but go wild with where you want to set things. I’m not a huge fan of sci-fi set in space (as opposed to on a planet), and I don’t want modern settings (aside from where specifically requested) but other than that I enjoy everything. Please feel free to go as deep as you want into worldbuilding, or to dump us right into the action and not worldbuild at all, or anything in between. You’re welcome to make any characters trans, or go for any sexualities, any disabilities, etc.
I’m dividing my requests into “both smut and no-smut” and “smut only”. For the ships in the former category, I really am happy with either!
For tags with historical eras in them (e.g. Victorian, Regency), don’t feel bound to writing historically-accurate fic about those eras. A general vibe (balls, sexual repression) in any setting (fantasy, historical fantasy, straight historical) is great! Historical fics set in “no-homophobia/no-sexism AUs” of the modern world are also always welcome!

Most ship descriptions taken from previous letters - length has to do with how many times I’ve requested the ships before and nothing at all to do with how much I want them.

I’m into canon ships and the whole team as a poly ship - not so big on non-canon monogamous two-person ships (exceptions: Booker/Copley, Nile/Andy) but feel free to go with any threesome or moresome that involves my requested characters. I’d prefer that you don’t write Nile as viewing the other immortals as parental figures, or them viewing her as a child figure. Precanon works set at any point in history are great! Feel free to go all-in with historical details or to handwave them entirely. I’m familiar with comics canon - feel free to use or discard it as you’d like.
I don’t have specific ship or character prompts, I just want to see poly!Old Guard and/or gen about any of the characters! I love everyone and this fandom is so perfect for whump especially. I love how well the older immortals know each other, contrasted with the newcomer Nile. I love the differences in worldviews they’d likely have, and I love their long shared history. I also love how hard you can go on the whump given that they’re (mostly) unable to die permanently. For whump, I’m also into the team helping Nile through her first experiences with various types of torture and deaths.

This is a long letter, but don't take that to mean I'll only be happy with a long fic or intricate art! I'm just very wordy when it comes to my fandoms. Prompts have been Frankensteined together from years of letters, so the length of prompt means nothing except that I've been requesting that ship for longer! And feel free to grab prompts from previous letters if you want – my DNWs have changed over the years, but my general likes and fandom prompts pretty much haven’t.
If I don’t DNW a ship, feel free to include it in the background of a gift, I have very few NoTPs. Also feel free to include multiple requested ships in a gift or make any relationships poly. I’m also down for any amount of character death, graphic violence, and/or noncon.
Don’t feel bound to my prompts if none of them catch your interest – I’ll be happy with anything about my ships that doesn’t contain my DNWs!

Thank you for writing for me! I am within_a_dream on AO3, and you can read my previous letters here if you want to see some of my previous exchange requests! Any discrepancies in length are solely due to me having more to copy-paste from previous exchanges, and do not reflect which fandoms I’d prefer to receive (I love all of my requests!)
I love gen, f/f, m/m, het, and polyships, and feel free to include your favorite friendships and ships in your gift--I have very few NOTPs, and those that I do have are listed. I’ve put down a few favorite ships for each fandom, but please don’t hesitate to fill my prompts with gen fic/art if you would rather!If you write or draw smut, I will love literally any kink that's not in my DNW list. I love all genres and tones from the fluffiest fluff to the darkest angst to the raunchiest porn without plot.
I’m requesting historical fandoms of various eras this Yuletide, and I am totally here for anything along the spectrum of historical accuracy from "fic that comes with a bibliography and footnotes" to "history, what’s that?" Don’t feel obligated to research, although you are welcome to if you find it fun!

Thank you for writing or drawing for me! I'm within_a_dream on AO3, and I have a tag of previous letters if you want to see more of my requests/get a better idea of what I like.
I've requested fic and art for all canons. I've tried to give fic-suitable prompts and art-suitable prompts, but I am not an artist so art prompts are a little harder for me. If the fic prompts grab you as an artist (or the art prompts grab you as a fic-writer), go wild! I did try to request more visual tags for each fandom as well as the plottier ones, but in general, if you draw me my faves/requested characters injured in some way, I will love it.
I love gen, and I love any and all relationship configurations (although I'm especially partial to all members of an ensemble cast being involved in a tangled polyamorous web). I don’t have any NOTPs in my requested fandoms, so if you have a favorite ship, feel free to include it in your gift! I am totally here for graphic violence or graphic sex/noncon, as well, in both fic and art. Underage welcome as long as characters are above 13!
I picked the freeform tags I thought went best with each fandom, but anything I requested in one fandom, I would be happy to read or see in another. So if a prompt from one fandom intrigues you, feel free to repurpose it for a different fandom!
For the various "recovery" tags I've requested, I don't necessarily need the character to reach a full physical or mental recovery in the gift. I'm just interested in the aftermath of an injury or trauma.

Thank you for writing or drawing for me! I’ve requested fic and art, and G and E ratings, for all fandoms. I’m within_a_dream on AO3. My general interest in rule 63 is twofold: examining the way characters’ arcs and backstories would change if they were a different gender (especially in historical fandoms), and "my male faves would be way hot as women" (I’m only requesting male characters r63’d into women this round). I’ll probably have more prompts for the former just because I have more to say about that, but feel free to roll with either or both of those in a gift! And if you matched to me on art, I hope the plotty prompts aren’t intimidating - I will be so happy to receive any art of my faves as women, I do not at all require a long plotty comic to suit my more plotty prompts.
Feel free to include any unrequested ships unless I have them in my DNWs! I am a massive multishipper. I welcome any unrequested rule 63-ing of male characters into any gender in addition to my requested characters, and unrequested rule 63ing of female characters into nonbinary characters (would prefer you don’t genderbend them to men). Trans characters (both rule 63’d characters as trans women, and canonical characters as trans instead of cis) are welcome! I like fluff, smut, angst, and pretty much any other genre, and any rating from General to Explicit. You are welcome to include major character death, rape/noncon, graphic violence, or underage in any fills (feel free to break both my heart and my requested characters).
For fic, I have no preference on what you do with names. Go for the closest feminine version of their canonical name, choose a popular fanon rule 63 name if there is one, pick a completely unrelated name, keep their canonical name….whatever you’d like!
I tend to assume that characters in historical fandoms are crossdressing/passing as men in my fic prompts because that’s where my idle daydreams about rule 63 AUs usually start, but you are welcome to ignore those aspects of the prompts and write them living as women if you prefer! I am also totally fine with rule 63’d characters who have complicated views of their gender/lean more genderqueer than cis woman (adapted to historical understandings of both of those concepts in the relevant eras), I just don’t want to read them as trans men for this exchange.

For this fandom, I would also enjoy reading my requested romantic ships as platonic!
In general, I am just fascinated by what a female Ben would look like, and how her life would be different. I like to imagine her passing as a man to attend medical school in Paris, and returning home to New Orleans under her new identity, but feel free to choose any backstory you’d like if that doesn’t tickle your fancy. I also like to imagine she would still be bulky and imposing (and that this would help her in passing as a man), although probably less so than canon Ben. Gender and race and the way they impact people are such a big part of the books, I’d love to see how a female Ben’s relationships with her family and friends would change and how her outlook on life would change. If you are writing her as passing as a man, I’d love to see how having to hide her gender would impact her life (and the new depth that would add to her trepidation about returning to New Orleans, and the freedom she felt in Paris).

I have my own "everyone is AFAB" AU for Mag7, with specific background headcanons for everyone, so if I am less specific about backstories here than in my other fandoms it is only because I’m trying to avoid overly influencing you with my Very Specific Ideas for my own AU because I want to see other people’s takes.

Hadestown – Mitchell

I’ve only seen the latest production live, but I’ve listened to both cast recordings and the original 2010 concept album so feel free to mix and match
For this fandom, I have fewer plotty ideas that are specific to a r63 AU and more thoughts like – I love the musical so much and it would be super hot if everything was lesbians as well. I love the aesthetic of the show’s stage setting, and the cyclical nature and sense of inevitability in the storyline. In fic, if you want to write something that specifically draws on that cyclic feeling using time-loop tropes, I will love it! I’d also be interested in fleshing out the setting more than we get in the stage show – all of the synopses and ad copy say it’s postapocalyptic, but we don’t really get to see much of that in the story, just some hints of it, and I’d love a deeper exploration of the setting.

I'm so sorry this took so long! If you started working before I unlocked, I will still love anything you came up with.
Feel free to include any of the 4 archive warnings, and to have happy or bittersweet or ambiguous or unhappy endings!

In addition to my prompts below, feel free to just give me more of the type of horror we see in canon. It was very much my thing and I’d love to see more fighting Nazis and/or zombies, and/or the body horror we got in canon!

Thank you for writing/drawing for me! I’m within_a_dream on AO3. I've requested art and fic for all fandoms/ships, and I've tried to leave art-suitable prompts for all of them as well--but I'm not an artist, so feel free to contact me through the mods if you want more details.
All of the prompts are just suggestions! I'll be happy with any gift focusing on any of my requested ships. Feel free to combine multiple requested ships in the same gift, including combining multiple overlapping ships into poly ships. And feel free to put in any background ships you like; I've got no NOTPs in my requested fandoms.
As far as rating and subject matter go, I’m good with anything from the fluffiest hand-holding to the most dirtybadwrong noncon, and anything in between. Any level of violence or gore is also okay. I love fluff, I love angst, I love porn, and I will most likely love whatever you create for me! For the ships where one of the members dies in canon, I'm good with everyone-lives AUs, sad character death-centric gifts, gifts set before the death, or anything else you can think of.
In addition, I'm totally down for gifts portraying any of my requested characters as trans dudes, but if you do smut involving trans characters, I prefer no PIV sex.
I have a tag of previous letters if you want to see what I've requested in past exchanges.
Note: I love all my requests equally, so please don't take length of prompts as indication of which ones I prefer! It's 100% an indication of which ones I had earlier prompts I could copy/paste and/or which ones belong to canons I watched/read/listened to recently, and 0% an indication of which ones I want more/less.
