This journal is not about me having any kind of breakdown, but rather I wanted to break-down (outline) my interests and themes.
This is the general-audience break-down. For the more mature information, go here.
----------
Purpose
While I don't do requests, I may do contests / raffles, trades, or something of the ilk, to give people an opportunity to collab (aside from me soliciting to do some writing as a gift).
This will set the expectations for what themes I am, might be, and am not really interested in, writing.
Any theme not listed should be discussed so I can determine how I feel about it and add it to the appropriate place.
You may see a lot of entries, and that's just because I have no idea how much or how little information these things need. Since I'm all about transparency I figure being explicit is better than being implicit.
----------
Themes of Disinterest
Let's get these done first so those who would turn away don't have their time wasted.
These are themes that I pretty much guarantee I'll never write under any circumstances. Please do not try to persuade or coerce me into writing these themes.
If I do happen to write one, it is of my own volition and does not necessarily open the floodgates on it.
* Male-homosexual or -bisexual romance * Baby-life or -issues * My Little Pony * Occultism (as in a focus on occultism; occultism context relevant to the story or characters does not fall under this) * Religion (as in a focus on religion; religious context relevant to the story or characters does not fall under this) * Toddler-life or -issues * Zombies
-----
Themes of Ambivalence
This category lumps together themes that: I have not had enthusiasm for yet, I may not feel confident writing, I feel I probably need a better understanding of, or I haven't really decided if I like them or don't like them.
Please do not try persuading me to write any of these on my own or to include them in a story I'm already writing. That might just make me less inclined to write them on my own, if I even have the spark to.
However, if you're offering a trade or win a contest or something, these are things that I "can" write, but I won't necessarily say I'll be good or confident at them.
* Abuse and coping (in a general sense, some forms of abuse and coping I am better at than others); reconciliation * Adult-life or -issues * Aliens / Xeno * Avians * College-life or -issues * Dragons * Death, facing death (terminal illness), or impending doom (peril) * Elderly-life or -issues * Fatherhood * Female-homosexual or -bisexual romance * Gender-issues or -identity * High school life or issues * Horror * Mystery * Pregnancy / Motherhood * Post-apocalyptic * Sci-fi * Surrealism * Teen-life or -issues * Thriller
Additionally, but not easily put into an alphabetical format:
* Any fanfiction or derivative work of an established canon, of either someone else's or official (i.e. Pokemon or Disney) * Any non-furry anthropomorphism not listed (i.e. Avians, Aliens, Dragons, etc.) -----
Themes of Interest
These are themes I will actively write about, and which I am comfortable with / feel skilled at writing. You don't have to persuade me to write this stuff. You can if you want to, though.
* Adventure * Child-life or -issues * Elementary school life or issues * Fantasy * Friendship (esp. young or teenage) * Love and Romance (esp. young or teenage, sexual-orientation themes apply) * Maturation / Coming-of-age * Middle school life or issues * Pre-teen-life or -issues * Psychological (drama, trauma, thriller) * Sadness * Slice-of-life
Additionally, but not easily put into an alphabetical format:
* Heavy characterization * Long-running series * Stories based off of pictures that inspire me * Adaptations of stories that I like
Most importantly:
* Bunnies

Hopefully this information is valuable. Comment or PM if you have any questions, concerns, or if there is a genre / theme I have omitted.
