Monstrous Tide Mini-Challenge
Stories about regular humans are great, but for some of us, the call of the more-than-human, monstrous world is even greater. Can’t get enough of vampires and werewolves? Love terrifying otherworldly beings? Down for tentacles in the deep? Then this challenge is for you!
This mini-challenge is for people who would love to write or receive fic about monsters!
How do I participate?
Leave a comment on this post linking your letter if you’re interested in getting fic that features a monster or monsters.
Include any optional details you want in your comment: prompts, DNWs, likes, favorite tropes, kinks and explicit likes, etc.

If you post a fic for Yuletide featuring one or more monsters, tag it with MonstrousTide so folks can find it when the collection opens.

What is considered a monster for the purposes of this challenge?
This challenge uses a pretty flexible definition of monster: if you think someone or something counts, go for it. If you’re having trouble deciding on whether a character fits within monstrousness, you might consider whether they fit within something like the following category: a creature or entity that is non-human or not wholly human that many find frightening, strange, and powerful.

Fandom and characters:
DC vs. Vampires (Comic 2021) - Jason Todd, Dick Grayson, Hal Jordan, Koriand'r
Tales from the Dark Multiverse: Batman: Hush (Comic) - Jason Todd, Dick Grayson
Interview with the Vampire (TV 2022) - Louis de Pointe du Lac, Daniel Molloy
Maid Maleen (Fairy Tale) - Maid Maleen's Maidservant, Maid Maleen's Father, Maid Maleen
Lord of the Flies - William Golding - Simon, The Lord of the Flies
Wanted and unwanted monstrosities: VAMPIRES!!! (two of my requested fandoms canonically have them), but I also love anything folklore-themed or eldritch. For NSFW related, fear of being bitten, fear of death, non/dubcon where the perpetrator is inhuman or incomprehensible. Not really into size kink with monsters, more into the psychological/fear aspect. I love both smut and extreme gore, but not at the same time (Vampire disemboweling someone before fucking someone else is good, Vampire disemboweling someone while fucking them is bad). Porn brain and horror brain is separate :).
DC vs. Vampires: vampires (especially Dick Grayson) being ruthless, overtaking humanity and keeping humans as farm animals. Keeping humans as blood cattle. Vampire sex with top!Dick Grayson.
Tales from the Dark Multiverse: Batman: Hush: Talon is canonically inhuman so I'd love to see that into play.
Maid Maleen - Mostly looking for horror. Maybe Maleen is a ghost or a monster herself, and that's why she's locked inside the tower.
Interview with the Vampire: VAMPIRE SEX and/or Louis struggling to keep from killing Daniel during that first interview.
Lord of the Flies - the character LotF is a formless entity that either exists in a character's head or as a ghost/demon that looms over the island. Would LOVE seeing interpretations of his monstrous physical form, if he ever gets one.
Are you open to receiving explicit fic? YES!
