Monstrous Tide Mini-Challenge

[serephemeral]

 

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!

• Include any optional details you want in your comment: prompts, DNWs, likes, favorite tropes, kinks and explicit likes, etc.

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 character(s): Three of my fandoms are ghost stories, so ghosts are totally on the table for them, and in another, the narrator sees everything around him as monstrous --

Poem of Hidden Resentment - A Woman of Anyi Lane (character: the woman of Anyi Lane)
A Poem Thrown at Martial Duke Pei - An Armored Ghost
Three Poems by a Ghost on a Stone Wall in Huqiu
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came - Robert Browning (character: Worldbuilding)

Wanted and unwanted monstrosities: Anything that fits the setting (either the original or, for an AU, the alter-setting) and only those. So for historical Chinese settings, Chinese-culture folklore only, please.

Are you open to receiving explicit fic? Yes

Primary DNWs: humiliation-based humor, sadism, and explicit torture
