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.

  • Include your ao3 name.

  • 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.


When you comment, please include: 

AO3 Name: ao3 username

Letter Link (optional): letter URL 

Fandom and character(s): fandom details

Wanted and unwanted monstrosities: specific monsters, monstrous tropes you love, general and explicit likes, things you don't want to encounter your fic, prompts

Are you open to receiving explicit fic? yes/no/maybe



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.

Wanted and unwanted monstrosities:

I'm open to pretty much anything that would fit this challenge, though I'd rather not receive anything with graphic descriptions of gore.

Of the four fandoms I requested, the supernatural is canon in Kolchak: The Night Stalker, but you can expand on or change up the "monstrous" aspects however you want. My other three requested fandoms don't fall under the supernatural umbrella, but you can monster them up however you see fit.

Vampires are my forever love, but I also like devils, fae, gargoyles, ghosts, incubi/succubi, werewolves, and various other supernatural beings that I've listed in my letter.

I'm a fan of supernatural AUs, with vampire AUs being my favorite type. (I prompted a vampire AU for The Guest in my letter.)

A couple of my favorite tropes are characters getting turned into vampires and characters getting turned into werewolves.

Additional things relevant to this challenge are listed throughout my letter.

Are you open to receiving explicit fic?: Yes (I actually have demon sex, ghost sex, vampire sex, and werewolf sex listed in the smut/porn/kink likes section of my letter.)

My Primary DNWs: emetophilia, humiliation, mpreg, scat, sounding, terminal illnesses, vore, watersports.
