Dear Totally Awesome Yulegoat!
You matched with me on my fandoms! I'm sure I will love you!! Thanks for being part of this. I hope you have FUN writing this story.
I am all about female characters; I like for them to be the focus in most of what I read, but also feel that their interactions with other characters are often some of the most revealing moments.
The most important aspect of all my requests is the interaction between the characters and what they learn about themselves and one another through that interaction and/or through the events of the plot, whatever it may be. If I ever have to choose whether I want more character moments or stronger plot...I'll choose a wisp of a plot and CHARACTER stuff...every time.
In these prompts, I'm not particularly interested in any of the listed characters' romantic relationships, except as they come up in the conversation(s). I have no problem with romantic relationships being a part of a story or character, but I'm really not about the romance specifically.
I am a complete and unapologetic canon whore; as one friend said, "I'm a canon-based life form." I like seeing how someone takes events of canon and tells a story from between the lines. I especially like slice of life stories, average, "boring," moments of people doing normal things. I like angst, I like joy, I like reflection, I like conversations, I like sad stories, hopeful stories, humor, plot, tropes, tidily wrapped up, open-ended, lyrical in style, abrupt and realistic in style. You're welcome to look at
my fic, not all of which I am entirely pleased with, and some of my
fic recs if you'd like to see what kinds of things I like, or to go off of my descriptions here.
First and foremost, I like to see "my" characters as real people in all their contradictions--strong and vulnerable, hopeful and desperate, satisfied and despairing, kind and cold, determined and indecisive, courageous and terrified--and the struggle (not always successful) that it is for them to keep the positive balanced a bit higher than the negative.
I love all of these fandoms and ideas and prompts, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what you write! Thank you again in advance.
Amy
