Fandoms: (the ones that lend themselves to darkfic)
Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View - Immanuel Kant (Kant, A Rational Being from Another Planet)
Black Panther: Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda (2018) (Any)
Ancient Phrygian Religion & Lore (Attis, Cybele)
Happy Endings Preferred? I like any type of ending, as long as there is a narrative arc.
Wanted Tropes:
  • kidnapping, torture, one’s fate being outside of your control
  • unspeakable power, eldritch or godly or similar
  • self-sacrifice for partner; watching your partner sacrificing themselves for you.
  • existential horror; mindbreak; being totally broken down and accepting one’s status as an object; grooming, manipulation, gaslighting
  • sinister authority figures taking advantage of power
  • bad ends, bittersweet ends, hopeful ends, as long as there is some sort of arc to the fic.
  • horror that occurs after some sort of reveal--someone wasn't who they seemed or something was radically distorted.
  • ghost stories and urban legends; spooky forests and abandoned ruins; murderous creatures and haunted houses. Creepy rural locations and places a little "outside" the normal sphere. Smelling something wrong in the psychosphere.
  • the dangers of ambition, finding out that there are things more important than knowledge and power
  • madness, self-mutiliation, orgiastic rituals, canibalism.

Unwanted Tropes: none of my DNWs are really darkfic specific, but I'd like those adhered to. They are in my letter!
