Hi, thank you for writing for me or taking a look at my letter or whatever! I'm @wafflelate.ao3 on AO3.

Um, most people looking at this probably won't need the explanation, but in case someone isn't sure what Trick or Treat is, it's a fic exchange on AO3 and you can find this year's collection here and the dreamwidth at @trickortreatex. The prompts below are for my assigned writer and anyone else who wants to write them! If you write something you should add it to the Trick Or Treat Ex collection linked above and not tell me. There was, um, some confusion about my AU Ex letter /o\ sorry for the explanation you don't need, people who came to this letter from the exchange request summary! Back to your regularly scheduled letter.

I'm very excited to participate in ToT for the first time! It might help you to know that for all of these requests I've selected these:

Treat - Fic
Trick - Fic
You may ignore my Art/Fic preferences for extra gifts

...and if you are going to treat me with art, wow, thank you! I do actually really love receiving art, but I wasn't up to writing prompts for two mediums.

In terms of tricks, I'm looking for both gentle spooks and mild-to-moderate scares. I am kind of squeamish about gore and I don't really like bad ends, but I love seeing characters get into and out of trouble, and in all of my canons I'm definitely okay with canon-typical levels of violence and danger, so don't be afraid to put these characters in genuinely life-threatening situations! But overall, I'd categorize 'tricks' as anything with:

Horror
real or fake supernatural elements
hurt/comfort where the hurt isn't skimped on and isn't easily solved
action scenes/mission fic/fights where the protagonist is at a severe disadvantage
time loops that aren't any fun
works with a focus on angst

I think it's also worth letting you know that I can be kind of a slow commenter, often because I want to read what I've received several times over the course of several days. And, when reveals for this exchange happen, I will probably be in the middle of running nominations or sign ups for a single fandom exchange, which might take up a lot of my time. I do my best to comment before the anon period is over, though.
