Hello Creator!

Apologies this letter is late but let's begin with saying thank you for making something for me :)

Below are some general notes about stuff I like, followed by some notes about why I like each relationship and maybe a prompt or two if you are looking for inspiration.

General Likes & Dislikes

I never quite know what to say for these things in terms of general likes and dislikes, as I don't have any triggers and will read just about anything as you make it convincing within the world of the source material.

But I think a good rule of thumb is that you can assume I am okay within anything all ready in the source in terms of themes, violence, sex, etc, plus anything additional that I mention below.

• I'm good with any rating, whether it be G rated piece of fluff or a full-on explicit PWP.


• I'm fine with AUs whether it be a minor canon divergence or a completely different universe. (And granted, for some sources I prefer if we ignore parts of canon.)


• I prefer third person POV. 1st and 2nd POV just doesn't quite work for me when it comes to fanfic.


• I'm good with dark stories and I don't need a happy ending per se but I do need a hopeful one.

In regards to sexual tropes and themes there are also a couple of things I can think of that I like:

• I like intimacy both sexually, emotionally and domestically (if that makes sense, I haven't quite figured out how to explain exactly what I mean yet)


• I like awkward sex


• I like D/s dynamics but not "official" BDSM with "official" dom/sub roles. I also only like this dynamic for sex fun times, I don't like this dynamic extending to roles outside the bedroom


• I like Non-Traditional ABO Dynamics


• I also like it when the women are in more dominant roles and the men in more submissive roles

But as mentioned, I am completely fine with a G rated fic so don't feel like you need to include a sex scene.

In regards to vids, I like all sorts whether they be ensemble or character driven vids, vids with dialogue audio, vids with heavy effects, vids that are serious, vids that a funny, etc. I also like all genres of music so feel free to choose any song but I do appreciate unlikely song choices for vids. And to be honest, a not so insignificant number of my favourite songs are songs that I love because they were used in vids that I love. So I am very easily won over in terms of music.

Dear Festividder,

As always, thank you for making a vid for me!

General Vidding Likes
I like all sorts of vids whether they be ensemble or character driven vids, vids with dialogue audio, vids with heavy effects, vids that are serious, vids that a funny, etc. So really, go with whatever angle or direction you want. However, if you are looking for inspiration, I do have a couple of prompts below.

Music
I also like all genres of music so feel free to choose any song but I do appreciate unlikely song choices for vids. And to be honest, a not so insignificant number of my favourite songs are songs that I love because they were used in vids that I love. So I am very easily won over in terms of music.

Festivids are live, and while I am late to the party, I received three (!!!) vids.

Sacred Geometry - A Monument Valley vid, which if you don't know, Monument Valley is a mobile game that is played exclusively in portrait. I kept requesting it for Festivids but I never thought it would actually get made. But now it has! And it's a lovely vid!

Valhalla - An Old Guard vid set to a cover of Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song. Fantastic song choice and I really love the editing here.

Homegrown Tomatoes - A 李子柒 Liziqi vid about "Homegrown Tomatoes" which just makes me want to grow my own food.

Thank you to all my vidders! It was especially exciting to watch the number of Gifts on my AO3 profile go up and up and up. This entry was originally posted at https://mithborien.dreamwidth.org/148551.html. Please comment at either location.

Hello fellow vid makers and watchers,

I've been thinking about creating a new vidding community and I am trying to gauge interest.

The previous Equinox Exchange format got me thinking about a Vidding Prompt Meme, like the various Kink Memes you see about, and as far as I am aware none really exist.

The plan would be to use AO3's Prompt Meme function to allow people to leave prompts but it would be super casual, no official claims, no deadlines, and it would also last for like a year. There would also be no minimum length requirement so you could totally just make a vidlet to motivate yourself.

You would need an AO3 account to leave prompts but anyone could come, make a vid, and post to whatever platform they choose.

I may have also start registering the community... viddingprompts

But to gauge interest, I have created a Google Form. So if you like the idea, please fill out the form to let me know! This entry was originally posted at https://mithborien.dreamwidth.org/148464.html. Please comment at either location.

I also spent the New Year reading through a bunch of Yuletide fics, below are my favourites!

As always, check the tags and warnings on individual posts. Read at your own risk, etc. Although I have my favourites, I do read all sorts of pairings, kinks, ratings, tropes, etc, so sometimes it may be a bit of a lucky dip.

I celebrated in style... by sleeping through it. Well, I wasn't actually asleep because who has good sleeping patterns these days, but I was all ready in bed and as far as I was concerned that meant the day was over.

End of the year

I'm not going to do any end of year round-ups or talk about any resolutions, mainly because I didn't really do a whole lot this year (one could blame it on the pandemic but to be honest, I've just been really tired for other reasons) and I don't think I have ever kept any of the resolutions that I have made.

In terms of fandoms I am still (reluctantly) into Marvel, specifically the Captain America side of things. Endgame still hurts my soul but it is what it is. I also very much enjoyed The Old Guard and The Witcher, at least in terms of fic reading.

I only made three vids this year: Big God (Annihilation), Baby Outlaw (Charlize Theron movies) and When We're High (Steve/Thor).

I think Baby Outlaw is my favourite but the other two are still a close second.

Actually, I do one resolution this year, which is not to sign up for any more Charity Auctions until I finish what I currently owe. Don't worry, winners, your unfinished vids haunt me every day.

New Comms

The snowflake_challenge will be starting again soon. I don't think I have participated before but I am going to try this year. The comm was originally created by akamine_chan as a way to remind herself “why I loved fandom so much”. And you know, fandom has always been fun but I am trying to lurk a bit less these days.

There is also starterpack, whose goal is to: The goal of this place is to guide new Dreamwidth users, or people new to journaling in general, so the process of trying a new platform doesn't become too overwhelming. And sure, I may have created this journal in 2009, but I figure it would be cool to follow along and clean things up a bit around here.

Random Rec

Also, shout out to suzukiblu, who was recently offering commissions and I was able to get them to write a second chapter to their fic:

One of these days I will make these posts at the beginning of the month when they should be, but today is not that day.

Also, with every Supernatural vid I watch, I get closer and closer to wanting to do a rewatch of the entire series...

Fanworks that I have enjoyed recently:

• 1 x Captain America fic
• 8 x Supernatural vids
• 2 x The Old Guard fic & vid

As always, check the tags and warnings on individual posts. Read at your own risk, etc. Although I have my favourites, I do read all sorts of pairings, kinks, ratings, tropes, etc, so sometimes it may be a bit of a lucky dip.
