Placeholder - IS Letter 2023
Aug. 21st, 2023 05:10 pmDear Innumerable Stars Author,
Hello! I hope you are as excited about the exchange as I am! I've done Innumerable Stars several times before and had a great experience. I hope the same will be true for you.
Please don't be intimidated by the number of tags - I prefer to list too much than too little. Better you're spoiled for choice than stuck. (Also, when presented with something as long as the tag set, my brain tends to get stuck on 'but why not ALL of them?')
I've offered prompts, or as close to them as I get, below. If there's anything you're concerned about or want to run by me before you get too into writing, feel free to comment here (I have anonymous comments on and screened). As far as ratings go, I will read whatever you're moved to write. I am eager to see what you create!
A word on the Do Not Wants. Aside from the first few, they are listed less because I never read them, than because I either need to be in a particular mood to read them, or because works featuring them are very hit or miss for me. In my mind, the ideal outcome to an exchange is me enthusiastically telling you and the world how much I love what you wrote and bookmarking it for re-reading, so I don't want you putting your creative energy into something that I know will be anywhere from a toss-up to a long shot if I like it, or that I will only voluntarily read on a rainy day in November. (Just to be clear, I'm not saying my reading quirks make any sense whatsoever. Only that I have them and I'm doing my best to steer you clear of them.)

( Likes )
Finally, I don't know about you, but living in interesting times is wearing on me. I would deeply appreciate if you could focus more on the good times and flashes of happiness and less on the angst and awfulness. I do not expect pure fluff, but please no dark/downer endings or "everyone dies".
Prompts, or at least vague ideas for my requests may be found below. All worldbuilding tags are guidelines only, use them as you see fit.
( Request 1 - Smith of Wootton Major )
( Request 2 - The Silmarillion )
( Request 3 - The Hobbit (book) )
( Request 4 - Crossovers )
( Request 5 - LotR movies )
( Request 6 - LotR books )
