Questions for the creator? Reach out to them via email (here)!

If you have a very specific prompt and are not flexible, it's best to contact the creator before bidding, even if it fits within their listed parameters. If you are asking for a specific kink, always ask first.

irrationalpie is offering:

Organizations this auction benefits: Bidder's choice of any of the listed groups (See full list.)

Type of fanwork: Other Digital Fanwork
Fandom(s): MXTX (works): Mo Dao Zu Shi / The Untamed; Nirvana in Fire (琅琊榜); Original Work
Highest rating: M
Minimum Bid: $5
Audience: All ages
Special interests (what is this?): Ambiguous endings, Gen (no ship) or platonic works, Genderswap/genderbending, Poly ships, Trans or nonbinary interpretations of canon characters

Fanwork Details:
Filk, a song written in or about a fandom. Specifically, the subtype of filk where you rewrite the lyrics to an existing song. This offering includes both rewriting the lyrics and an audio recording of the resulting filk.

Characters/pairings of interest:
"If you've got your heart set on a character or relationship that's not listed, I may be open to it, but it's a good idea to check with me via email whether it could work out! Here are my faves though:

MDZS/Untamed characters: Yunmeng siblings (including Wei Wuxian); Gusu siblings; Nie siblings; Jin siblings (mostly Meng Yao or Mo Xuanyu); Wen siblings (specifically Wen Qing and Wen Ning)

MDZS/Untamed relationships: Platonically, pretty much any sibling relationship, including sworn siblings or found family. Romantically...as long as you're drawing from the set of characters above, you can probably talk me into it!

Nirvana in Fire characters: Mei Changsu, Lin Shu, Xiao Jingyan, Mu Nihuang (I have less grasp on the other characters' motivations, but if you're willing to chat with me about them I can probably make other characters work!)

Nirvana in Fire relationships: Any permutation of the named characters above, romantic or platonic, including polyamory

Original Work: I'm picturing an ""original work"" filk as either (a) inspired by an original work fic on ao3 or (b) an original work with new characters. Either way, check the subjects/themes/tropes to see if it sounds like a good fit!

Other fandoms: If you want something in Podfic or Voiceteam fandom, or inspired by some non-fandom-specific trope (see ""[Filk] Let's fix this, baby"" for an example of the latter), that sounds like a blast!"

Subjects/theme/tropes of interest:
In no particular order, I love: Loyalty; siblings (in particular as relates to love, loyalty, or snark/teasing as a love language); identity (all kinds—gender identity, secret identity shenanigans, identity crisis, etc); dramatic irony; foreshadowing; complicated motivations

Some filk structures that can be fun (these are just examples): pick a particular moment/turning point in canon, foreshadow the heck out of what comes next (...this describes a surprising number of my filks lol, I guess I like what I like); song that could exist in-universe (whether directly mentioned or just something a storyteller/bard could plausibly sing...well, if you ignore any anachronisms or the like pertaining to music choice); song a character would sing if they were in a musical (imagine suddenly the action pauses and they're now monologue-singing about how they're feeling in this moment)

Unwilling to address:
Some of the following might not come up in a filk, but if the prompt for the filk is a fic to read, I'd prefer it not contain the following: Character bashing; pervasive slow-rising dread that builds forever (particularly if it seems like a character's bad choices will result in tragedy for themselves); psychological horror; misogyny (or similar, e.g. oppression of omegas in an omegaverse fic) as a major theme

When using a fic as a prompt, I'm fine with any (or no) rating for the fic. If it's longer than 80k or so, though, please contact me ahead of time to make sure I'm able to commit the time to read it!

Other notes:
Prompts: I'm pretty flexible on what style of prompt I'm willing to work with! Maybe you have a pairing and an AU idea, or a character and a specific point in canon (whether divergent or not), or a playlist of songs to pick from and a list of characters/tropes you're interested in! If you'd like a filk inspired by a specific fanwork (maybe you're a podficcer and need the perfect song to go with your podfic??), I can do that too! If the prompt is too specific (for example song & themes/tropes & pairing) I might struggle to fit everything in, but I'd be happy to brainstorm alternatives with you if I get stuck!

My vocal range is alto-ish (I don't have a deep voice but can't go crazy high either). Songwise, if you have a strong idea of what you want (for example, a specific song to rework, or a particular artist), please check out the link to my existing filks or contact me to get a sense of whether it's within my vocal range and singing capabilities! Additionally, just as an FYI, more well-known songs are more likely to have a backing track available for me to use. You're not required to have a particular song or artist in mind, though, I'm happy to try to find something we both think is neat myself!

I'd love to do some brainstorming with you initially to get a sense of what you'd like, both content-wise and musically, via email and/or discord!
