Once upon a fic letter 2025

Dear Once_Upon_Fic Writer,

I'm glad we have fairy tales and myths in common! I'm sure you will write an awesome story! I signed as Nelja-in-English, Nelja is my usual pseud.

What I like: Worldbuilding, characters being clever and witty, foreshadowing, weird surrealist crack that makes sense, dreams or illusion themes, characters knowing and understanding each other well, unreliable narrators, ethical dilemmas, strong women, queer themes, horror themes.

What I prefer not to read: AUs except for canon divergence, character bashing, pandemics, cheating, humor based on misunderstandings or incompetence, post-canon/AU with a sad ending when the canon has a happy one (except specified otherwise), bashing of either science/rationality or magic/spirituality to make the other one look better.

Under the cut is a scale of tragic ending, with my opinions, and spoilers for lots of fandoms.

I love tragedy. It doesn't mean I love all bad endings in fiction. So I tried to explain, with examples.
(It's explaining nothing. This is mostly about my tastes, not about good or bad writing)

(You can give me tragic femslash ships you know, if you want me to put them on the scale :D )
