dear ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
autisticexchange writer!
Khairete! (Hail! Hello! Well met! with plural address in case more of you than my writer read this!)
My AO3 name is![[personal profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/20438-1952919/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
AlexSeanchai, and let me reassure you at the jump that optional details are optional. I tend to babble, I really do, and I think my copy-paste from earlier letters gets longer every letter!
I should advise you up front that I am a Hellenic polytheist, ancestor worshipper, and animist, and I am really hoping to see, anywhere it might come up, respect for my religious beliefs. This hope is an optional detail, but I want to highlight the DNW of "Disrespect to my religious beliefs".
I should also advise you up front that I am a queer trans feminist and disability activist standing firmly in opposition to fascism, capitalism, and white supremacy, and I am really hoping to see stories that dance to that tune. This hope is an optional detail (and also modern politics aren't necessarily relevant to the story you're writing at all, I observe), but I want to highlight the DNW of "Disrespectful treatment of [insert marginalized group here]."
Please do not take the extent to which I discuss any canon as indication of any sort of preference as to which canon I receive.
I am explicitly open to crossovers between my requests.
I am totally here for poetry treats (or poetry full assignment if you are nuts like me—for srs I'm nuts), and interactive and/or choose-your-own-adventure fiction. Also genderbending, racebending, queer headcanons, trans and genderqueer headcanons, neurodivergent headcanons, and other flavors of respectful representation of marginalized people. Also AUs generally, with special highlight to whatsynecdochic refers to as the Ten Minutes AU, and special highlight to setting-change AUs (including but not limited to modern library, modern coffee shop, Library of Alexandria, Jonathan's Coffee-House...). (That said, don't take my examples of setting-change AUs as particular suggestions unless you want to! Though a Library of Alexandria AU or a Jonathan's Coffee-House AU of any of my requested stories would be fucking awesome, actually...)

Likes: FEMSLASH. GEN. (I'm bolding that just to make sure there's no confusion, given that I'm capitalizing 'age them up' as a way to avoid one of my sexual DNWs.) Het centering and empowering the woman. Polyamory. Ladies being awesome. People of color being awesome. Queer people being awesome. Trans and genderqueer people being awesome. People of minority religions (especially polytheists, ancestor worshippers, and animists) being awesome. Disabled people being awesome. Autistic and otherwise neurodivergent people being awesome. Mentally ill people being awesome. Competence kink. Nonperfect people having nonperfect relationships (whether familial, platonic, romantic, or sexual) but all parties are good people trying to make the relationship work as best they know how. Ordinary people caught in extraordinary events. Worldbuilding!
Likes if you're leaning porny: vanilla is a lovely thing but also there's bondage, body modification, endurance, nipple play (okay, really breast play, butkink_wiki doesn't have a tag for that), sensation play, temperature play, impact play with the emphasis on play, toys toys toys, soft sensuous things, and writing.
Dislikes: Underage sexual activity. Non-consensual sexual activity and anything that contributes to rape culture. Anything that sets off my embarrassment squick—avoid public humiliation, for instance. Anything sexy involving eating or excreting (though if you want to write food porn in the sense of conveying what a tasty meal the characters are having, go to town). Disrespectful treatment of polytheism, ancestor worship, and/or animism. Disrespectful treatment of [insert marginalized group here]. Magically healed disability. "Idiot ball" (which trope needs a less ableist name). Cross-generational sexual and/or romantic relationships, though if an involved character does not, in my head, have an age, then it won't bother me as long as all the involved characters are clearly adult. (Deities don't have ages. Just flat out don't. Or rather, since They can appear as any age They like...just not as a child to someone They're in a sexual and/or romantic relationship with, please!)

Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Belle (Disney) Beast (Disney) Maurice (Disney)
BELLE / BEAST: Bonding over how the world makes sense, or doesn't make sense, to *both* of them in ways that aren't true of...pretty much anyone else they've met.
BELLE & MAURICE: "MY daughter? ODD? Where would you get an idea like that?" How it helps, and hurts, Maurice in his single-dad-ness that he and his daughter are both autistic.

Original Work
Princess (Original Work) Priestess (Original Work) Poet (Original Work) Goddess (Original Work)
Take any two-or-more of these characters and play them off each other. How does the Priestess serve the Goddess, or the Goddess inspire the Poet, or the Poet support the Princess, or the Princess learn from the Priestess? Et cetera. (All nominated characters female--cis or trans--or nonbinary/genderqueer, please.)

I bet these two get along a lot better online than face to face. Love square shenanigans more than welcome.

How do RUN A NATION when SENSORY HELL? Or SOCIAL HELL? Or all the myriad pitfalls that beset a young autistic man trying to deal with a million responsibilities?
