Dear Hikago Rare Pair Exchange Author,
Since this is a Hikago exchange, I already know that you're made of sheer awesome just for signing up. <3 You are extra awesome for coming to find this, assuming you're reading this right now, instead of ignoring it.
You probably already know me, because Hikago is an incestuous little fandom, but just in case you don't- I'm Ver. Hi! *waves* I'm an old hat in Hikaru no Go fandom and love both the canon and the fandom to pieces. I'm sure I'll love whatever you write!
Generally, I'm a pretty easygoing kind of fic reader. I read a lot of different kinds of things, so mainly, just write what makes you happy and that you can have fun with. Fics are always better when you can tell the person writing it enjoyed it. :) (That being said, I would ask that you check out the “do not want” section before you do that, just in case.)
I know this letter may look a little scary at first glance, but just keep in mind that I'm long-winded. XD Everything here minus the DNW is just suggestion and idea. You can honestly ignore most of this and do whatever your little heart desires, and I encourage it if that's what you want to do. Also, while one of the pairings listed should be the main/endgame pairing, I'm open to most pairings in Hikago as a side thing or background or whatever. Anything I've written before is certainly fair game, and if you're not sure about a pairing, you can probably get an accurate answer just by asking around a little. I've been around forever. These guys know me. XD Have fun~
Love,
Ver/verloren1983
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*
Do want:
PORN. Erm. <_< Yeah, so obviously I like porn, but if you're not feeling it, don't feel like you have to write it! I'm also happy with cute/fluffy/romantic/silly things, so that stuff is great too- though since this is a shipping exchange, I do expect at least a date or a kiss or something. It's not my first preference, but if you have a really good idea that has a sad ending or is generally angsty or something, feel free to do that. Above all else, what I really want is a good story, even if it makes me sad. :) One absolute requirement that goes across everything is that if you generally have issues with OOC or spelling/grammar, please get a good beta. I can overlook a few things here or there, but if the fic is riddled with errors, that kind of ruins it for me. :/ Also, I understand that many of these characters are underage in canon, but I would GREATLY prefer them to be aged up for smutty fic. At least to 18, but maybe even to mid-late 20's. Just a thing.
Anyway. As far as other things I like, but you are in no way obligated to do: I'm ridiculously fond of “getting caught having sex” fic. Not where the characters were being exhibitionists on purpose, but maybe a parent or friend walks in on them unexpectedly or something. I love the cowboy/cowgirl position, particularly with het pairings but it's sexy as hell in slash too. I also, um, really have a thing for pregnancy sex where the woman is visibly pregnant. Not just a baby bump kind of visible, but really “can't possibly mistake it for anything else” kind of pregnant. <_< Both parties should really enjoy/get off on it. I'm not into mpreg, though, so please only do this with straight or lesbian pairings. Also, it doesn't come with a lactation kink, so please don't. XD That being said, I don't mind genderswap as long as it isn't done for homophobic reasons- and trust me, I'll be able to tell. You're free to switch one or both of the main characters involved. It's not my favorite thing, but it can be really fun to change up someone's gender and see how they're different, and what doesn't change. That brings me back to OOC, though- obviously with a gender/sex change, there would be changes in personality/behavior, but it should still feel like that character. The basics of who they are shouldn't change. It's a parts change, not a lobotomy. For example, if you take Viktor from Suikoden and make him female, he's not all of a sudden going to be a tiny little thing that LOVES pink and glitter, you know? So yeah, if you don't think you can pull off an IC genderswitch, I'd rather you just didn't.
Other general ideas that I enjoy? Relationships in general (not just romantic ones) are a BIG one for me- I love seeing relationships between people and how things can change over time and the interactions. Getting together fic (whether smutty or not), confessions, kissing, ridiculous sexual tension whether resolved or not, letter writing, high school fics/AU's are great (but if you want to do porn, college fics are great too!), established relationship domesticity/date/whatever fic, good surprises.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*
Do not want:
(I normally wouldn't get into all of this, but since you may not know me, I figured I'd be as detailed as possible.) Underage sex, loli/shouta, watersports, scat, major character death (unless it really fits in with the story, but I'd rather not), vore, rape/sexual assault/molestation/non-con, dub-con (okay, you can include this and the non-con if you really must, but I don't want detailed descriptions of it, and I DEFINITELY don't want it romanticized or have the whole “falling in love with the rapist” bullshit), mpreg, super depressing fic (again, unless it fits with your idea, but I'd REALLY rather not), OOC, knifeplay, lactation kink, terrible euphemisms or “cute” nicknames for body parts- “manhood” especially (we're all grownups here, hopefully, call it what it is), necrophilia, bestiality, furries, alpha/omega/beta dynamics, body shaming, slut shaming (especially in bed- some dirty talk is fine, but calling someone names isn't sexy to me), daddy kink, spanking, vomitplay is apparently a thing but NO, terminal illness is a trigger for me, as is embarrassment (minus the “getting caught” thing I have in the section above)... I reserve the right to add to this as I see fit, but I think that covers most of the bases. A lot of these boil down to “don't add bodily fluids or functions to sex that don't have to be there as part of the nature of the thing.” XD
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*
Isumi/Ogata
I adore Isumi- if you're going to do this pairing and can manage it, his POV would be preferred, but it's not a huge deal. These two aren't an “endgame” pairing for me. When I say that, what I mean is that I don't see them ending up together forever- for me, these two are more “fuck buddy” material- but I'm certainly not opposed to them being endgame. Maybe it starts off as a one night stand and turns into something more? Doing something with Isumi's doubt and self-esteem issues would be cool too.
Isumi/Saeki
I know that these two don't really interact in canon, but the idea of it really interests me. I'd imagine they'd get talking through Waya somehow- maybe a party where they're the two oldest people there, or Waya decides to invite his two adopted older brothers to hang out or something, and they realize that there's chemistry there.
Kaga/Tsutsui
Holy shit, this is one of my favorite pairings ever (obviously, according to AO3, they're my second most written pairing). My headcanon for Kaga is that his father was physically abusive, and that he's pansexual (those two things are completely unrelated), but other than that, anything is great within that framework. I would love to see them helping each other through the issues that each of them has. Or something where Isumi stands up for himself and holds his ground against Kaga would be awesome!
Kaneko/Mitani
Oh man, I love these two. Okay, so first thing, this is basically the only pairing I can think of where I would list genderswap as a “do not want.” This pairing in particular is where my pregnancy sex kink is strongest, so if you decide to do that, I'll love you forever and ever. I think Mitani would be really into it. Maybe it's their first baby and he's completely surprised by how turned on he is by it, or maybe it's not their first and he's already accepted this about himself. And it's no problem for Kaneko because hormones. On an unrelated tangent, I also really, really love the idea of pegging with these two. Mitani in my head is a kinky bastard, what can I say. :P If you're looking for something not-sex, then something where they're married and playing with their kid(s) or something would be really cute. :)
Hikaru/Mitani
Ungh, these guys. Mitani SO had a massive crush on Hikaru in middle school and nothing anybody says will convince me otherwise. Working the unrequited crush angle would be great, or maybe having them meet up as adults later (by accident or design, I can so see Akari manipulating them), or whatever. I would love to see grownup Mitani! :D
Hikaru/Waya
Okay, before you get too excited- this didn't fit within my allowed request number, so it's not one of the pairings I asked for and so it's not supposed to be the main pairing. I know. However, if you can reasonably get these guys in the fic, that would be TOTALLY AWESOME. Just sayin'.
