partypaprikaDear Chocolate Box Writer,
Thank you so much for writing for me! I am beyond excited that we share a fandom (or fandoms) and ships in common!
General likes: I like conflict within a story and resolution. Although, if your heart wants to write about Helga and Arnold reuniting underneath a rainbow with their puppies, I get it. The heart wants what the heart wants! I would prefer that the story end happily for the main characters. I also like tropes, trope inversions and trope subversions.
General dislikes: I'm not a fan of major character death, noncon, dubcon, painplay, torture, humiliation kink, a/b/o, dom/sub, mpreg, knotting or other things along those lines.
I'm not active on LJ anymore, although you're welcome to poke around here. I'm slightly active on tumblr and you can also check out my pinboard if you'd like to see what kind of things I'm into.
Hey Arnold: This is the cartoon of my childhood. I love Helga and her insecurities and her evolution throughout the series (especially as she struggles with her home life). I would love to see Helga and Arnold reunited as adults. Maybe they meet again when Helga becomes the producer for Arnold, the radio DJ. Or maybe their paths cross as adults and Arnold runs a non-profit (maybe an animal shelter or a low-income housing assistance center) while Helga is a high-powered super stressed executive. Or Helga has to take care of a kid (maybe it's her own? maybe it's not? you decide!) and hires Arnold as the nanny. I would love to see their interactions where Helga is still a bit of a neurotic mess and Arnold is the even-keeled guy he's always been.
Marvel 616: I love Kate (so much) and her relationship with Clint. I love how Matt Fraction wrote them as these kind of failing at life people (although Kate has it a bit more together than Clint does) who just get each other. I enjoyed how during Fraction's run, they had this great relationship (which was generally entirely friendship based, but would have these weird non-platonic moments). I would love to see them continuing to have adventures. Maybe they fight aliens together! Maybe they have to take care of a small child together (they would probably prefer the aliens, tbh, as they completely suck at it). Maybe they have a weird turf war against members of the Canadian mafia who dress up kind of like mounties! As long as they're adventuring, I'm happy. Smoochies or not are up to you!
Original Work: I wasn't going to originally pick this, but the tags for this were just so intriguing! I've put a couple suggestions below, but if you're really feeling it in a different direction, go for it.
Again, thank you so much for writing for me!

Original Work: I wasn't going to originally pick this, but the tags for this were just so intriguing! I've put a couple suggestions below, but if you're really feeling it in a different direction, go for it.
- Academic/Dropout: Nerdy high school student finds that he or she can only be him or herself around a randomly met high school dropout. Or nerdy college or doctorate student falls totally in love with mechanic but can never even get two words out.
- Canon creator/shipper: Canon creator meets intense shipper and hijinks (and romance) ensue! Maybe the shipper subjects the creator to an hour long powerpoint presentation during which the creator totally falls for the shipper and starts inserting things into canon that he or she knows will get a rise out of the shipper. Or maybe the shipper starts creating these beautiful fanworks that intrigue the canon creator so the creator starts contacting the shipper, not revealing who they are, and they fall in love, you've got mail style!
- Chief Sorceress/Teenager prince: Bossy teenage chief sorceress and teenager prince clash! Hijinks and romance ensues (I'm sorry, I love hijinks). Chief sorceress meets and teaches teenage prince and he falls in love but doesn't say anything. They re-meet as adults!
- Female Knight/Princess: Stoic, quiet female knight and princess secretly pine for each other! Or princess is sent on a quest and stoic, bemused knight is sent with her to accompany her, even though I am totally capable of taking care of myself, the princess fumes (as the knight unobtrusively dismantles a booby trap that the princess doesn't even notice--wash, rinse, repeat).
- Person with Sexually Transmitted Monsterism/Any: Ok, I'll be honest here. I have no clue about this one, but this tag was hilarious, so I couldn't pass it up. What kind of mosterism is passed on sexually? Vampirism, shapeshifting, having to spend a certain amount of time lurking in dark closets and shouting boo!??? Maybe if you get this STM after sleeping with someone, you're suddenly thrust into a monster shadow world. I have no idea...Feel free to go wild here!
Again, thank you so much for writing for me!
