Greetings, Battlesheep! I salute you. Thanks for creating for me.
Other than my DNWs, feel free to disregard any and all information in this post. If you've written something you're excited about, I will be happy to receive it even if I'm not familiar with the fandom. Unrequested tags that don't violate a DNW and seem in line with what I'd like are 100% fine.

If you're putting in the time to make me art, I'm going to love it. Consider everything below to be a suggestion, and thank you!
On Podfics:
Podfics absolutely delight me! I would love to receive podfic of my work, your work, or others' work. It would especially tickle me to receive podfic of other works you created for Battleship, either this year or in previous years. All of my work is under blanket permission. Because I'm insane, I put together this searchable Podfic "Glossary" that lists my fics, their wordcounts, and all the Battleship 2025 tags that appear in them.
DNWs:
General Likes:
I tend to have favorite characters and dynamics rather than favorite ships. Noncanon, out-there, and crack ships are all fine. I am also always excited to recieve non romance-centric fics. Original work is welcome, especially if you're writing me porn.
Unusual fanfiction formats and meta, especially meta that elevates minor characters or background arcs
Epistolary and "found text" works
Bulletproof Characters and Ships
These are the characters and dynamics that set my brain on fire in any context. If you write me anything at all for these, I'll be over the moon. Detailed prompts for every fandom on this list are under the genre pages in the index above.

Art Likes:
If you're putting in the time to make me art, I'm going to love it. Consider everything below to be a suggestion, and thank you!
- I love the colored pencil-like look of O Human Star and Circuits and Veins.
- I love the art deco look and associated colors and patterns. Black, gold, crimson, cream, rich blue...
- I love comics, including superheroes and magical girls.
- I like in-universe advertisements, pinups, erotic art, and/or propaganda posters.
- I love transformation sequences like the Animorphs covers and magical girl transformations.
- I like outfit or aesthetic swaps or drawn AUs where, for instance, a werewolf character is human and a human character is a werewolf.
- I enjoy warm colors and botanicals such as the ones Sergle incorporates in her art. Marigolds, violets, poppies, and ivy are my favorites.
- I like fat characters, disabled characters, and trans characters, including characters not portrayed as such in canon.
- I LOVE art that imagines what it would look like if characters survived to old age and/or canonically dead characters alive with scars/disability from the things that killed them.
On Podfics:
Podfics absolutely delight me! I would love to receive podfic of my work, your work, or others' work. It would especially tickle me to receive podfic of other works you created for Battleship, either this year or in previous years. All of my work is under blanket permission. Because I'm insane, I put together this searchable Podfic "Glossary" that lists my fics, their wordcounts, and all the Battleship 2025 tags that appear in them.
- My SFW fanfiction can be found at Emmalylis. Most of these are Miraculous Ladybug oneshots in the 1-3K range. My favorites are listed here, with wordcounts.
- I would also love podfic of this short epistolary Chrestomanci fic (570 words) or any of the short fics in this Leverage/White Collar crossover series (three fics, 600-900 words).
- My NSFW fanfiction can be found at gremdark. These are Miraculous Ladybug and Dungeon Meshi oneshots in the 1-5K range. The fics with fewer hits tend to be my favorites. I've written for an array of kinks, so tag matching odds are pretty good. The fic of mine I would most love to see podficced is this one (angsty T4T porn, 1.4k)
- All of my friend Cochrane's fics are under blanket permission, and many are in the 500 word range. He writes SFW fics, primarily for Miraculous Ladybug, as well as a smattering of anime and video game fandoms.
- My friend Gil has written 67 SFW and NSFW fics across a great variety of fandoms, many of them quite short. All their work is under blanket permission and ranges in length from 100 to 8K words. Their most common fandoms are Wooden Overcoats, Suits, Gravity Falls, and Blue Mountain State. My absolute favorite work of theirs is this one (toxic yaoi jerkoff instruction, 1.2k)
- My friend Erseac has written 49 NSFW fics, most of them Miraculous Ladybug. They are all under blanket permission and several are quite short, ranging in length from 400 to 11k. He's a Rare Kink Buffet and ML Kink Meme participant, so his tags are quite varied. My absolute favorite work of his is this one (toxic yuri genital piercing, 2.5k)
- My friend River has written 538 fics across a variety of fandoms, all under blanket permission. A good portion of these are quite short. Most of River's work is SFW, and xe has written the most for Miraculous Ladybug, RWBY, Professor Layton, and Ace Attorney.
DNWs:
- Harry Potter and associated fandoms
- Vomit, piss or shit in characters' mouths
- Waterboarding, water non-consensually poured on characters, or characters' heads being held under water
- Extended discussion/celebration of Christian holidays (other holidays fine)

Unusual fanfiction formats and meta, especially meta that elevates minor characters or background arcs

- Characters cooking together
- Characters who die in canon surviving with disabilities related to the thing that killed them
- Divorced characters who stay divorced (sex between divorced/broken up characters is fine and encouraged)
- Identity porn, with or without an identity reveal and including non-superhero identity porn like "doesn't know X is a famous chef"
- Identity reveals (especially ones that focus on the dissonance between various sides of characters' identities)
- Mind control in and out of kink context

Sexual Likes:
I write things I'd like to read! Any kink or trope I've written is welcome. As a blanket statement, if you write about a kink I'll have to look up to understand, I'd be delighted to receive fic about it. I enjoy reading a top or dominant's perspective, though all perspectives are welcome.- Accidental sexting
- Body control, consensual or non-consensual, in which the controlled party is conscious but cannot communicate.
- Body modification, especially permanent. Consensual or non-consensual.
- Characters developing kinks related to things that happened in canon/backstory, or roleplay related to canon events.
- Characters without penises acquiring them, on purpose or accidentally, and using them. Strap-ons the user can feel count!
- Collaring
- Fleshlights that work like portals to a specific person's vagina or ass
- Hate Sex
- Magic or sci-fi sex toys that wouldn't be possible in real life
- Masturbation, especially to things the character feels complicated about getting off on.
- Mind control in and out of kink context
- Non-consensual sex in a fuck-or-die context, especially if the non-consenting party is the one whose life is in danger.
- Non-romantic sex. Maybe one or both characters feel obliged in some way. Maybe there's a deep bond, but not a romantic one.
- Penetrative sex in which the recipient is dominant.
- Permanent or temporary changes to one or both parties' mindset, including gender or orientation play and mind control
- Pining while fucking
- Robotfucking in which the sex doesn't look anything like sex organic lifeforms would have
- Sex that's consensual, but a bad idea for all involved
- Sex toy use in public, with or without a partner
- Transformation in and out of kink context
- Vibrators
- Weird elements of canon lore being repurposed for kink or sexual practices that wouldn't be possible IRL
