polkad0ttingHello, I’m polkad0tting (polkadot on AO3). Welcome to my little world!
I have lots of old letters from many different exchanges, so if you’d like more insight and/or ideas about what I enjoy, here’s the tag to poke through them. Feel free to use old prompts if those appeal to you more than the ones in this letter! :)
Like list:
Basically? Affection, both platonic and romantic.
• Basic: Competence, sports, friends-to-lovers, falling in love, comfortable established relationships filled with affection and in-jokes, couples kicking butt together and saving the team (and then picking up the drycleaning on the way home), people knowing each other really well, banter, emotional support, plans, plans that don’t go according to plan, working together and using different strengths, coming-out stories, five-times fics.
• In romance: Snark, banter, fond teasing, zaniness, affection laced with humor, snuggling in bed, having sex on sports equipment.
• In porn: Kissing, exploring a partner’s body, unexpected erogenous zones, talking during sex, sex that doesn’t go quite right but they run with it and make it awesome anyway, incoherent noises, morning sex, well-developed biceps and shoulders, fingering that's enjoyed for itself, wall-sex, multiple orgasms, laughter.
DNW list
• Basic: Infidelity, bullying, cruel jokes, noncon, dubcon, incest, bestiality, underage, character death, graphic descriptions of character injury, unrequested ships.
• In romance: One-sided pining, both people pining but never getting together, gaslighting, characters who are in love but don’t seem to really like each other very much, A/B/O, backstory het relationships.
• In porn: Pain being inflicted as a kink, bad dirty talk (if not joked about by the participants), someone not caring about their partner's comfort and pleasure.

Relationships: Lost Princess/Time Traveling Female Explorer, Princess Disguised as Her Brother/Princess Under Curse
I love both of these pairings. Although I’ve asked some questions below, if you have a different idea I’d love to read that too!
General wants for these pairings: ladies in love, happy endings.
Lost Princess/Time Traveling Female Explorer
- Why is the princess lost? Is she running away from home? Is she being pursued by assassins? Did she escape from a dragon’s lair? Did she embark on a Quest™ and got hopelessly lost along the way? (Is she bad at maps/following directions?)
- Is the time-traveling explorer a freelancer, or does she have specific goals in her explorations? Is she trying not to change anything, or is she more careless? Does she realize the lost princess is a princess right away (and worry about changing history), or only once they’re already friends/lovers?
- How do the lost princess & the time-traveling explorer meet? Do they become allies? Does one rescue the other from some danger? Does the explorer offer to help the lost princess get un-lost, since she has vastly superior directional skills? Does the lost princess realise that the explorer is also out of her element (even if she doesn’t suspect the time-travel factor)? How do they flirt and fall in love? What adventures do they have together? How do their cultures differ?
- What’s their endgame? Does the lost princess end up going back to the explorer’s time? Does the explorer stay in the princess’s?
Princess Disguised as Her Brother/Princess Under Curse
- Why does the princess disguise herself as her brother? Has the Evil Witch said only princes can try to break the curse? Has the cursed princess’s father offered her hand in marriage to whichever prince can break her curse?
- Perhaps the princesses are secret childhood sweethearts, and the curse is actually their doing, to force their parents to let them be together! (Curse-breaking trumps institutionally-imposed heterosexuality.)
- Perhaps the disguise predates the cursing. Is the disguised-princess on a world tour, enjoying the freedom her male disguise gives her to travel and enjoy herself, when she comes across a kingdom with a cursed princess? (Or the princess becomes cursed after the disguised-princess has already been flirting/falling in love with her for a while.)
National League RPF (fic, art)
Relationships: Aaron Rodgers/Alex Smith, Odell Beckham Jr./Alex Smith
I love these three guys (yes, despite being a Vikings fan), and would love to see fic or art about either pairing happy together. (Particularly after the rough ends to their seasons.) [Please don’t include both relationships or turn it into a threesome, however.]
Some of my favorite mainstays are getting-together/first-time fics, banter, adventures on the bedroom and/or on the field, strength and athleticism in bed, pranks and shenanigans, coming-out fic, happily-ever-after Super Bowl fic (AU in which it’s Packers-Chiefs or Giants-Chiefs in the Super Bowl this year? Or next year?), and guys who are stupidly head-over-heels in love. Also cooking for each other is adorable (even/especially if the cook isn’t that great but is trying). Make these guys happy and I'll be happy!
Prompts!
* X and Y practice together in the offseason. (How/why is up to you.) The POV-character gradually becomes aware that the other one is flirting with him.
* Emotional hurt/comfort after their rough seasons. (Whether established-relationship or getting-together.)
* How a friendship deepens into love.
* Five times X almost kissed Y, and one time he did. (And other such five-times fic!)
* Five times X won a football game, and one time he won Y. (Etc. I can go on all day in this vein, haha.)
* Strength and athleticism in bed as a major turn-on.
* Pranks, shenanigans, tricks, goofing-off, etc.
* X & Y having to figure out what it means that they keep falling into bed together.
* Competition bets – not monetary, but forfeits or sex bets.
* Coming-out fic (privately or publicly).
* First-time fic.
* What’s it like to be in a relationship with a competitor?
* Athletes being competitive about sex (because they obviously have competitive personalities).
* Proposal!
* Happily-ever-after! In every sports fandom, I’m a sucker for “what if X’s every sporting dream came true?” (Either in the future, or a canon-divergence AU in which one of their teams won the Super Bowl this year.) I’d particularly enjoy Alex or Odell winning the Super Bowl, since Aaron has a ring already. (Oooh, and Super Bow celebrations are always fun!)
Canon DNWs: Ben Roethlisberger appearing or being mentioned (except as a defeated opponent).
Tennis RPF (fic, art)
Relationship: Madison Keys/Sloane Stephens
Sloane & Maddie!! I absolutely fell in love with these two women during the US Open this year. I’ve always liked both of them, but they were so fierce and awesome and played such amazing tennis this USO. Both of them coming back from injury, no less! Maddie had wrist surgery after Wimbledon, and Sloane couldn’t even walk a few month ago. They are inspiring, and fabulous, and fucking good at tennis, and good friends, and the medal ceremony after the final was the best medal ceremony EVER. So many jokes! So much banter! So cute!
I ship them mightily, and would love to read any cute flirting, falling-in-love, tennis-girlfriends story. When did they start flirting? Did they text to keep each other’s spirits up during their injuries? Did they encourage other during their comebacks (only to end up facing each other on the biggest stage)? Or did their relationship go from friends to lovers only during this USO? How might Maddie have congratulated Sloane for her victory? ETC.
Any of my general likes would be great here. Other USO bits I love that could be fun to include if you want:
• Sloane’s pressers this USO were absolutely epic!! The fly that attacked her, for instance! The bit in the post-final presser about the “girl, did you SEE that check?”
• The bit about Maddie saying Sloane would totally be paying for post-finals drinks.
• I adore Venus, so including her would be great too! Does she inspire Sloane and/or Maddie? Is she the one that notices that one of them is pining for the other?
Futurefic with Maddie winning her first Slam, and Sloane congratulating her (for any rating of congratulating, lol), would be absolutely lovely too.
A few more general prompts:
• Clandestine locker-room affection, whether that’s knowing glances, inside jokes, or snatched kisses when nobody’s around.
• Work hard, party hard!
• How a friendship deepens into love.
• Strength and athleticism in bed as a major turn-on.
• Pranks, shenanigans, tricks, goofing-off, etc.
• Sloane and Maddie having to figure out what it means that they keep falling into bed together.
• Coming-out fic (privately or publicly).
• Being competitive in the bedroom (because they obviously have competitive personalities!)
Canon DNWs: CoCo Vandeweghe (except minor mentions of Maddie beating her), any American male tennis players appearing except Frances Tiafoe or Ernesto Escobedo (that includes Jack Sock, Sloane’s ex), Donald Trump congratulating Sloane.
Thank you for writing or drawing for me! I’m really excited. :D
