1. There are people on my reading list that I don't know very well. Want to trade information? You can ask me anything you want, as long as I get to ask you a question in return.

2. Music time! Give me a prompt of any kind -- a word, a mood, a kind of music, a character/fandom, an original writing thing, whatever random thing pops into your head -- and I will give you a 3-song playlist.

AO3 name is AlexSeanchai.

First, a bit about what I like: Ladies being awesome. People of color being awesome. Queer people being awesome. Trans and genderqueer characters being awesome. Disabled characters being awesome. Femslash. Porn, pornless shippy fic, gen. (Obviously I am not asking you to provide all my likes at once.) 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! If you're leaning porny: bondage, body modification, endurance, nipple play (okay, really breast play, but kink_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. And if you're leaning porny but not sure who to lean porny with, I like femslash best.

Things I dislike: Underage. Non-con. 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 [insert marginalized group here]. 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. I can't really explain any better than that; this makes about as much sense to me as it does to you. Sorry about that.

Please note that for all I'm happy to treat Hesiod and Ovid and Sappho and all those many bodies of work as just another several canons to fanfic, I am a Hellenic polytheist, and respecting my gods while writing about them is essential.

But I don't actually want to write a poem about my hand pain.

It'd be a really vicious poem, though.
