Hello Secret Mutant gifter!
I'm going to copy a good chunk of this letter from last year's (and the year before) for general ideas and then go into the specifics:
Firstly, thanks for being part of a great exchange! I will truly love anything that you create for me, no matter what it is (I love gifts really, I do!)
Use those prompts as a jumping off point, but as many others have said, if they don't spark you, go with something from here and I'll love it all the same.
Things I adore: AUs (any time, no really), size kink, banter/snark, angst with a happy (or hopeful depending on the circumstances ending). I'm a fan of A/O dynamics, but that's not at all a requirement. To that point, I'm also okay with dub-con and in some cases non-con (see A/O and it's faults).
I adore history (hello college major) and so the more accurate anything is the better. (I have a healthy suspension of disbelief when I need it so crack is fine too.)
This list is by no means inclusive. You're welcome to look through my AO3 bookmarks to get an idea of what I read (and even my own writing for what I've done before). I'm a huge fan of unconventional ways to tell a story, so telling me something out of sequence is amazing.
If you're an artist, I hope that something in the situation of a prompt can inspire you, but again, it's not at all a requirement. Giving me some slice of life piece is more than acceptable and in fact, if you're up for it, you could just as well create something to go with any of my stories (save the work I did with Nekosmuse and the Actors 'verse as those are really not mine in the same way; my RBB fics are sort of off limits for the reason that art already exists). It's really up to you what you want to do.
Character wise, I'm a fan of Erik (for all his faults), Charles, Raven, Emma (for all her issues). Ensemble stories/pieces are also great.
Specifically to the prompts, this year they're a big mix bag of things on my mind.
Prompt 1: I know fandom's been more recently into Dadneto, but I want to see Erik do that with the grandsons later. I mean, Billy and Tommy are pains, but what would Erik do with them? Get them high? Buy them condoms? WHATEVER you want.
Prompt 2: Anything goes. I mean it. Fusion with a show you know I like (or a movie or whatever), or any other AU idea you can figure out.
Prompt 3: Very much a comics prompt, and an Erik prompt at that. I'm totally in love with the new "Magneto" book and what it says about Erik's past and where he's going now. What about those hidden moments we haven't seen "on camera" yet.
Prompt 4: Rom-coms or any sort of love story are also a goldmind, so come up with something. As the type suggests, it can be Charles/Erik, or any other combination of the four of them. Hell you could write me some poly-amorous story and that'd be great too.
As with everything here, these are only starting point, and really run however you want with these. If you have specific questions, feel free to ask PJ/
ninemoons42 for she knows me very well. You could also ask a group of tumblr friends, but I'll leave you to find a good person to seek out for more specifics.
