My fic exchange letter

threading_in_dreamsFirst of all, thank you for participating in this exchange! I'm threading_in_dreams, but you can call me Thread.
I don't know how it is with you, but I get very nervous about writing something that will make the other person happy, so I wrote this letter to make sure you get a better feel for the sort of story I enjoy.
There are no format constraints. I read all POVs and love a story structured around a fun gimmick, be it different characters telling their views of the same events (and disagreeing!), reports/found files/epistolary fiction or even a classic 5+1. I once read a fic structured around recipes and it lives in my mind to this day.
For romance, I enjoy fluff, but I like it better when there is something bittersweet about it or when it's part of a hurt/comfort scenario. My own fics run angsty, because I favor slow burn and pining, so I would actually enjoy a short fic about a character having feelings while in company of their unrequited love.
Besides romance, I also enjoy action/adventure a whole lot. These can be serious or played for humor, the problem can be life-threatening or a non-issue made big by the characters' own intermission. Fighting can be lovingly described or smoothed over, I have no issue at all with blood and depictions of violence.
In horror I prefer things to be psychological and understated, unless you have a really good monster (I love monsters). I got no issues with gore or body horror, but actual hate crimes can keep me awake at night.
You can torture my blorbos and put them through the wringer, but don't kill them.
In the smut side, I prefer when things are soft and loving, rather than rough. I'm on the ace spectrum, so most of my interest in smut depends on whether the characters are into it and enjoying themselves.
I could give a massive list of kinks that do nothing for me, but instead of that I'll give you the few that I actually enjoy. Please keep in mind that this assumes everyone is having fun:
***
I tried to write all this without naming tags, because I'd rather you wrote however you prefer instead of taking a recipe from me. I really like seeing how other people tackle my beloved blorbos. Whatever is your headcanon, I'll probably find it interesting, so don't worry too much about it.
Thanks again, I hope this helped!

- bondage and domination, when no one is being hurt or humiliated.
- biting, scratching and hair-pulling.
- light spanking from the point of view of the D.
- exhibitionism/voyeurism.
