Public Call letter 2016

[merryghoul]

I'm merryghoul. I save fics I like at merryghoul; here are my Classic and my New Who recs. I'm not requesting Torchwood groupings this year, but I also have Torchwood recs.

This year, for Public Call, I'm requesting the following pairings:

Fourth Doctor/Romana I

Fourth Doctor/Romana II

Fifth Doctor/Tegan Jovanka

Fifth Doctor/Nyssa of Traken

Fifth Doctor/Tegan Jovanka/Nyssa of Traken

Ashildr | Lady Me/Clara Oswin Oswald

Jane Austen/Clara Oswin Oswald

Twelfth Doctor/Missy/Clara Oswin Oswald

Eleventh Doctor/River Song

Twelfth Doctor/Clara Oswin Oswald

Twelfth Doctor/Missy

Twelfth Doctor/River Song

Clara Oswin Oswald/River Song

Missy/River Song

Missy/Clara Oswin Oswald

I do ship all the couples I've listed, but if you feel more comfortable with gen, I have no problem with it.

Crossovers between New and Classic Who (including Big Finish, the EDA books and/or other novels, the comics, or anything not considered "canon," like Curse of Fatal Death) and/or Torchwood are okay; please no crossovers with non-Doctor Who canons.

Other than "no non-Doctor Who canons," here are my DNWs:

character bashing

vomitplay

fics in the second person

high school/college AUs

mundane AUs (aside from the aforementioned high school/college AU, I'm fine with AUs some people might call mundane, e.g. coffee shop AUs, as long as the characters retain their abilities from the canon)

curtainfic

a fic written for an open series on AO3, or for any ongoing fest/bingo challenge/other exchange/etc.

Now to what I do like in fic! I don't have any specific prompts for this exchange. But I do have certain things and tropes that I love:

most AUs (see DNWs before for AUs I don't want)

casefic/works focusing on crimes

hurt/comfort

Harlequin/Mills & Boon/romance novel AUs

angst

fluff

friends becoming lovers

pretend couples

enemies working together

sharing a bed

darkfic (see below for darkfic likes)

porn (including PWP; see below for porn likes)

In terms of darkfic, I'm not opposed to the following:

betrayal

body horror

brainwashing

claustrophobia

conspiracies

degradation

disease

dystopias

gaslighting

hauntings

humiliation

hypothermia

insanity

invasion of privacy

medical experimentation

mind control

dubcon and/or noncon

paranoia

poisoning

prison (and prison-like structures)

sadism

torture

violence

And here are some things I like in porn (with or without plot), if you'd like to write that for me:

bullets

bondage

begging

femdom

fuck or die

sex pollen

[something] made them do it

But if you want to write porn without any particular kink, I also like that as well.

Thanks for writing for me, and I'm very excited to see what you're coming up with!
