rusakkoDear creator,
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter - I hope that you find it helpful. I've listed general likes and dislikes as well as some fandom-specific prompts. I kindly ask you to respect my dislike list, but the likes are more for inspiration, and I certainly don't expect you to include all or even most of them. The same goes for prompts: if none of my ideas appeal to you, please feel perfectly free to come up with something else, combine prompts or give a prompt your own twist.
I appreciate your gift and look forward to seeing what you create!
My likes
My dislikes / do not wants
Fandom-specific prompts
Pride and Prejudice
- A side character (e.g. Mr Collins, Mrs Reynolds, Mary Bennet) reacts to the news of Elizabeth and Darcy's engagement.
- What exactly did Lady Catherine write in the letter that caused Mr Darcy to go no contact with her for a time?
- A malevolent supernatural creature attempts to infest Rosings. Lady Catherine isn't having it!
Mansfield Park
- Fanny ends up caving to pressure and marries Henry Crawford. How does their marriage turn out? Does Henry reform, or does he eventually turn back to his old ways? What about Mary, Edmund and the Rushworths in this scenario?
- After the canonical events of Mansfield Park, how does Mary Crawford's life continue? How does she feel when looking back at the canon events a few years later?
Persuasion
- How did Charles Musgrove propose to Anne Elliot? And what about his proposal to Mary Elliot?
- How does Mary Musgrove feel about being her husband's second choice (or is she even aware of Charles's proposal to Anne)?
- Captain Wentworth has a supernatural encounter at sea.
- A side character (e.g. Lady Russell, William Elliot, Louisa Musgrove) reacts to Anne and Captain Wentworth's engagement.
Northanger Abbey
- Catherine and Henry encounter a real supernatural being... or do they?
- A look at Catherine and Henry's engagement period (i.e. the time before General Tilney consents to the match).
Sense and Sensibility
- What was Marianne's thought process in deciding to accept Colonel Brandon? How happy is she in her marriage?
- Mr and Mrs Palmer discuss the events of the canon story.
- Crossover with Mansfield Park: a widowed Lucy Ferrars meets the recently divorced Mr Rushworth.

My likes
- canon divergence AUs
- missing scenes
- character studies
- outsider point of view
- unreliable narrators
- humour
- stories based on the books, not on the adaptations
- stories exploring life in the Regency era
- crossovers between Jane Austen's works (including references to works not included in the tagset for this exchange)
- third-person narration
My dislikes / do not wants
- BDSM and other kinks
- rape and non-con
- incest (however, as a Regency-related clarification: relationships between cousins are fine)
- graphic descriptions of violence
- major character death
- holiday-themed stories, including Halloween
- modern AUs
- crossovers with non-Austen works
- character bashing (including unlikeable characters!)
- non-canon ships (ships that are one-sided or end unhappily in canon are fine, though)
- original characters as major characters
- self-inserts
