DNWs

It goes without saying though that if I do have a prompt that has explicitly asked for one of these then it's not a DNW in that instance. (i.e. As a general rule I don't like kidfic, but for a fandom like Among Us I like the Crewmate & Mini Crewmate dynamic for example)

Any Fandom

• Pregnancy fic
• Unrequested Kidfic
• Sexual Violence
• Rape/Non-Con (I can deal with certain levels of dub con but I'll usually specify that in detail in a prompt)
• Sex between characters <16 years old
• Unrequested Hard Kink (some fandoms I do enjoy hard kinks with my ships)
• Specific Hard Kink:
• Scat/Watersports
• Period Sex
• Vore
• Breeding Kink (even if it doesn't end up with a pregnancy)
• Extreme Feederism incl. weight gain or overfeeding
• Ageplay/DDLG
• A/B/O
• Unrequested Permanent Character Death
• Self-Harm
• Excessive Gore
• Cheating & Infidelity
• Racism/Sexism/Homophobia/Biphobia/Any form of bigotry
• Second Person POV
• Character x Reader/You
• Character/Ship Bashing

Fandom-Specific

• Divergent:
• Four/Tris
• "No War"/"No Consequences" - I am pretty flexible on this, but overall I do like some kind of logic of how the canon events didn't devolve into chaos.
• Timid Tris. I'd rather her be tougher than canon than wimpier.
• Sex "fixes" Tris' fear of intimacy
• Avatar: The Last Airbender
• Aang/Katara
• Aang/Katara/Zuko
• Detroit: Become Human
• Infantilizing Connor/Childish Connor. He's supposed to be an adult. He can be bewildered/confused sometimes, yes, but overall he's perfectly functional.
• Hank Anderson/Connor RK-800
• Worst-Ending
