Hi! I'm so excited to see what you create :3
Here are some of my general DNWs, general likes, and below them I'm adding likes/dislikes for each fandom, as well as some prompts. Feel free to get inspired by them, but if they are not up your alley, just ignore them. They are simply ideas I find interesting~

Dracula
I just recently finished the novel and fell in love with Lucy's and Mina's relationship. They care so deeply for each other and aren't afraid of showing it~
I also like Arthur and Quincey's friendship, and the way Lucy's death connected them. I'd love so read about their future relationship, how they support each other over the years, etc.
The way Van Helsing respects both Mina and Jonathan (but especially Mina!) is so interesting to me, so if you want to write something about the two of them - feel free. Maybe an exploration of their friendship?
Want to go with an AU? Sure! Just don't make it a modern AU/reincarnation (I'm not a big fan). I do enjoy a good sci-fi, so if you want to write about Dracula in space - I'd love to read it.

Baldur's Gate
I have not finished the 3rd act yet, so please keep that in mind.
Karlach and Astarion are my favourite characters, with Gale and Shart following close behind. I adore Karlach's story, her longing to be touched, and her inability to connect with others is so gut-wrenching. Touch-starvation is one of the tropes I enjoy, if you want to write about that (about Karlach or any other character) - I'd be overjoyed.
Astarion and his story is so depressing but also fascinating. I love seeing him defeat Cazador in fics, and seeking help from his friends.
For Gale I love seeing him suffer because of his power, and side effects from the Orb. His relationship with Mystra is also interesting, I'd love to read about it as well. Maybe an AU where things went a little different, and Gale did not end up with an orb in his chest.
I enjoy AUs for this fandom, for example with Gale being a professor but still struggling with Mystra's wrath. I like his relationship with Astarion, I think the way they interact with each other is fascinating.
I like competent characters, so if you want to write about a hidden talent someone from the Companions has, go ahead!
post-canon stories are also nice! Something fluffy/cosy would be amazing~
DNW: No powers AU

The Other Bennet Sister
I'm open to anything with Mary in it, really, she's so relatable and tragic at the same time. She and Mrs Gardiner have an incredible relationship, and I'd love to see Mary being taken care of by her family (being listened to, respected, etc.).
I loved Lizzy in the show, and I loved her talks with Mary. There weren't that many Lizzy & Mary moments, but I still loved them all dearly. If you feel confident in historic pieces, feel free to write something (could be a slice of life!) about Mary and her family.
Love seeing fluffy fics with these characters, some fem friendship between Mary and Ann or Caroline would be amazing~ However, I also like angsty fics, and hurt/comfort fics, so feel free to hurt Mary/Tom as much as you want :D
You could also explore Mr Darcy & Mary - they didn't really interact in the show, but I think they are quite similar.
If you want to focus on Mary - go ahead!
DNW: character bashing (even Mrs Bennet).
______________________________
The Mandalorian
I enjoy reading AUs for this (especially AUs where Anakin and Padme are alive and Leia and Luke are royals, Din is a Mand'alor and rules over the Mandalore).
I think some found family or slice of life could be nice here, with Din and Luke getting to know each other/Grogu mixing their both cultures. If you're into angst or hurt/comfort, I love seeing Luke hurt (maybe some chronic pain?) and getting comforted, or emotional hurt (Din angsting over Grogu being with Luke).

Final Fantasy XV
Prompto is my favourite character <3
Prompts:
Tower of God
I have only read two seasons, and seen one season of the anime adaptation.
My favourite character is Khun, of course, because he's a smartass, but he can be awkward at the same time. Smart and cunning characters are my jam! I'm not that smart myself, so I enjoy reading about competent characters.
Ja Wangnan is interesting, I wish SIU would come back to him and his past (I remember I used to be obsessed with his ring haha).
Likes:
DNW:
Star Wars Prequel
I love Obi-Wan, so I'll love anything with him. Hurt him, explore him, tear him to pieces. Qui-Gon Jin (at least in the Jedi Apprentice series) is kind of a dick, so maybe you would like to explore how they got from there to what we see in the movies (still not great but an ok partnership).
DNW:

Iron Lung
Anytihing with Simon, really. I've been getting into Bloodymary recently (crossover between Iron Lung and Project Hail Mary), so if you're also a fan - go ahead and write about it! :D
DNW:
Six of Crows
Honestly, I just love the Crows, so them interacting/scheming would be amazing. Maybe a heist, if you're up for it! If you'd prefer to focus on characters, maybe some Wylan angst? He has such a tragic life, I especially like fics that focus on his attempted murder and Wylan being competent.
Kaz is, of course, amazingly smart, but I adore seeing him hurt <3
Outsider's POV could be interesting in this case, I think. Do you want to write something from the POV of another gang? Go ahead :3

DNW:
Here are some of my general DNWs, general likes, and below them I'm adding likes/dislikes for each fandom, as well as some prompts. Feel free to get inspired by them, but if they are not up your alley, just ignore them. They are simply ideas I find interesting~
General DNWs in alphabetical order:
- abortion and miscarriage (mentions of past miscarriages are fine, just don’t make it the focus of the story. I'm not against abortions, just don't enjoy pregnancy in general)
- age gap relationships (more than 10 years or equivalent if ages are finicky)
- BDSM/kinks of any kind (relates to my not wanting explicit content. Let's stick to platonic/fade to black, ok?)
- canon characters paired with OCs (exception: when it's not end game)
- character bashing
- cheating/infidelity (It's fine if it's, for example, an arranged marriage and both sides agree that they want other romantic/sexual partners. As long as there is consent it's fine)
- coffeeshop AU / college AU / flowershop AU / school AU, etc. any type of AU that's in a modern era. I like stories set in the same universe as the original
- eating disorders (if they're vividly described)
- explicit sexual content (sexual acts can be alluded to, but I'd rather not read anything explicit, thank you!)
- eye trauma, gore, vividly described torture (I'm fine with it being described if it's necessary for the plot, just don't like senseless violence)
- homophobia/transphobia/acephobia, etc.
- humiliation kink (and related), scat, vore, and other kinks of that nature
- hurt & no comfort
- incest, selfcest, etc.
- kids/kidfics (kids and pregnancy are fine it they aren't the main focus of the story)
- medical trauma
- mpreg, omegaverse (platonic/familial relationships are fine, especially when it's an AU with shapeshifters)
- plotless smut (I'm fine with fade to black)
- power imbalance (for example, a boss and a secretary/assistant, or a professor and a student. Related to the age gap issue)
- pregnancy (unless it's canon or not the main focus of the story) and related kinks
- Rape/non-con (even when it's a kink and previously agreed upon. I don't enjoy stuff like that. It's fine if it's alluded to or important to the story, but please make sure it's justified/really needed!)
- Reader insert
- terminal illness (related to hurt & no comfort, I like happy endings. There's enough suffering in the real world)
- underage sexual content/romance/anything of the sort. I'm an adult and I feel uncomfortable reading about kids like that. Let kiddos be kiddos, I don't need to hear about their exploits
- unrequested trans, neurodivergent & mental illness headcanons (it's ok if they're canon!)
- unrequited love (with no positive resolution, it's fine if it's temporarily unrequited or if the person falls out of love)
- 1st person POV
General Likes in alphabetical order:
- (enemies) friends to lovers (or partners)
- action and combat
- angst (with comfort)

- in-universe media (essays, twitter posts, etc.)
- mutual pining
- outsider POV
- plot heavy story
- requited unrequited love
- royal AU (could be prince/princess/aristocrat/duke etc)
- queerplatonic relationships
- star wars/sci-fi AU
- touch-starvation
- time loops, time travel
- whump with comfort (taking care of somebody's scars/wounds, aftermath of torture, reconnecting with someone after many years apart, etc.)
- worldbuilding of all kind
- yearning
For art:
Likes: art nouveau, dynamic poses, realism, cartoon/anime styles

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Likes:
- I like the found family trope for this fandom, some paternal Roy or caring Riza (without forgetting that they are both quite young, they themselves don't have kids and they have severe PTSD).
- team as family
- Roy and Maes friendship is the best, they are dorks (scheming powerful and smart dorks), so seeing what they were up to right after Ishval could be interesting.
- Roy and Riza - love the way they both care so deeply for each other is so amazing. They would never admit it, of course, but they would quite literally die for each other. Would they live for each other? Explore their post-canon relationship if you want!
- Roy and his team - anything, really. Roy being a weirdo and a nerd, and the team thinking him silly, just the team and Mustang chilling. Fluffy fics are also great!
- Want to write something more angsty? Go ahead (just no gore, please!) and write about Roy's/Ed's/Riza's/Al's PTSD, nightmares, etc. I want to see them suffer!
- What I would like to avoid is Maes' death. I know it's canon but I would like to avoid reading about it nonetheless. Other than that - anything is fair game, really, as long as it's platonic~

If you're into angst or hurt/comfort, I love seeing Luke hurt (maybe some chronic pain?) and getting comforted, or emotional hurt (Din angsting over Grogu being with Luke).
Likes:
- Mand'alor Din,
- Luke with scars,
- Din and Luke creating a family with Grogu,
- Din and Paz being like brothers,
- strong and powerful Bo-Katan
- Mandalorian culture, exploration of the Jedi culture & what Luke did with it.
- royal AU (with Luke being the Naboo's prince)
- Din taking off his helmet.
- Disrespecting the Mandalorian culture.
- Bo-Katan/Din
- I would love to see some gentle/familial/sweet moments between Grogu and Din, maybe on some deserted planet.
- And exploration of Din's relationships with the Armourer and Paz is also welcome, maybe him angsting over not being able to come home after season 2. Maybe an exploration of Mandalorian culture?
- Or a mission fic with Cobb and/or Boba gone wrong
- A hurt/comfort is also welcome!
- An exploration of the Mandalorian culture, or how Grogu being a Jedi fits in with the Mandalorian culture
- A ship malfunction getting the characters some place weird/surprising

Final Fantasy XV
Prompto is my favourite character <3
Likes:
- Prompto in general, as well as Regis and Nyx.
- I enjoy MT!Prompt stories, and him having to deal with his past, not being human.
- I like the Chocobros and their dynamic, especially their jokes.
- Noctis being a prince (having duties that prevent him from being normal/leading a normal life)
- Gladio/Ignis (and how they deal with being so close to Noct and having to put him first)
- Hurt Ignis or Gladio - they're caretakers, so putting them in a situation where they have to be taken care of would be interesting
- Regis & Prompto
- Nyx/Cor could be interesting
- Noctis/Prompto
- Canon Divergence - the Bros meeting in different circumstances, someone taking a differnent path in life, etc.
Prompts:
- Someone who's usually a caretaker (Ig being taken care of
- Chocobros discovering that Prompto is an MT, maybe them deciding to hide it from Regis/Cor/anyone
- AU time! - what could have been, how else could the story have gone? Maybe there was no invasion or Prompto wasn't rescued
- Royalty AU - someone other than Noctis is a royal (and hides it?)
- Mistaken identity
- Regis spending time with Prompto and discovering why Noctis likes him so much
- A character showing loyalty in an unusual way
- Prompto being capable (with guns, maybe)
Tower of God
I have only read two seasons, and seen one season of the anime adaptation.
My favourite character is Khun, of course, because he's a smartass, but he can be awkward at the same time. Smart and cunning characters are my jam! I'm not that smart myself, so I enjoy reading about competent characters.
Ja Wangnan is interesting, I wish SIU would come back to him and his past (I remember I used to be obsessed with his ring haha).
Likes:
- Khun in all shape or form
- Ja Wangnan being mysterious TM
- Floor fics!
- Team as family~
DNW:
- Rachel being forgiven. She's not a nice person :(
- I think a floor fic could be fun, especially an angsty one, but if you prefer a fluff I'm also fine with that! They all deserve rest, and I'd love to see Khun and Bam just chill with the rest of their friends.
- I think exploring Bam and his power could be interesting - especially with people treating him like a god. How does that affect him and his friendships? How does he deal with the stress of it all?
Star Wars Prequel
I love Obi-Wan, so I'll love anything with him. Hurt him, explore him, tear him to pieces. Qui-Gon Jin (at least in the Jedi Apprentice series) is kind of a dick, so maybe you would like to explore how they got from there to what we see in the movies (still not great but an ok partnership).
DNW:
- character bashing (even if it's Yoda/Anakin/Qui-Gon)
- Obi-Wan Kenobi & Anakin Skywalker being brotherly
- Obi-Wan being hurt and comforted, focus on Obi-Wan, his past, his traumas
- Clone culture, worldbuilding
- Mon Mothma being a badass
- Politics (although I am dumb please take that into consideration)
- Obi-Wan and Cody supporting each other, especially in difficult situations
- Padme and Sabe relationship - how did it change, how they got together
- Obi-Wan and Cody being stuck on a planet with one of them (or both) being hurt
- Obi-Wan being tired TM but still having to work as a general/Jedi master/being on a mission
- Fix-it where Anakin does not become a Sith - why does that happen and what are the consequences?

Iron Lung
Anytihing with Simon, really. I've been getting into Bloodymary recently (crossover between Iron Lung and Project Hail Mary), so if you're also a fan - go ahead and write about it! :D
DNW:
- sad ending (can be open ended, and with how the movie ended there's really no helping it, but maybe you could make it hopeful? Or not focus on the death as much?)
Six of Crows
Honestly, I just love the Crows, so them interacting/scheming would be amazing. Maybe a heist, if you're up for it! If you'd prefer to focus on characters, maybe some Wylan angst? He has such a tragic life, I especially like fics that focus on his attempted murder and Wylan being competent.

Outsider's POV could be interesting in this case, I think. Do you want to write something from the POV of another gang? Go ahead :3
Likes:
- exploration of Kaz, his issues, his past. Kaz suffering and plotting.
- Case fics, heists, thievery
- Wylan angst or hurt/comfort, especially him hiding his issues or past from the Crows and them figuring out why he hates his father
- Inej and Kaz pining for each other and dealing with not being able to touch each other
- Everybody Lives AU (yes, meaning Matthias)
- Canon divergence - for example another meeting
DNW:
- angst with no happy ending
- ableism that's just there and has no plot relevance
- Anyone that doesn't have magic in the canon having magic (for example Kaz being a Grisha)
- no powers AU
- Wylan hiding from the Crows why he's hiding from his father and them finding out in the worst possible way/the worst possible time
- Heists gone wrong
- Betreyal of the team for greater good (and how the Crows deal with being betrayed - do they forgive?)
- Surprising talents being brought to life
