Dear Yulegoat
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. "Mature" is my max preferred rating, though I'm perfectly happy with anything below that, and am fine with the times when a story wanders above that mark in the telling.
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.
Birds of Prey (Comic)
Barbara Gordon!Barbara Gordon!
**Most of all what I love about Barbara Gordon is her resourcefulness, and her determination, and her all-out CUSSEDNESS. I like that she WILL DO anything she puts her (considerably awesome) mind to, no matter how "hard" or even "impossible" it is. THAT is what I would love to see, first and foremost.**
I really am most interested in the BoP era rather than after this most recent reboot.
Optional Details: There are so many things I'd enjoy...here are some ideas from which you can choose if you'd like, or that might spark another idea for you:
I'd love to see Barbara being the one on the ground for an op, having to rely on someone else to have all the intel. But anything with Barbara as the focus and saving the day--preferably getting out of the Clock Tower to do it--would be great.
I'd really like to see Dinah finding out that Barbara's negative response to "Can you walk?" in "Hunt for Oracle" was not due to the gunshot wound; canon flitted right past that.
Always, always, I love good old 80s story tropes (pretending to be married in the suburbs OR The Hostage Situation OR stranded far from civilization and have to find a way home, etc.).
Any other characters are welcome as desired or needed; interaction is delightful, always.
Silk Stalkings
Rita Lee Lance, Chris Lorenzo
Optional Details: I'd love to read Rita and Chris facing a typical 80s story dice/trope plot (temporarily blind/paralyzed OR The Hostage Situation OR chained together and running for their lives, OR stranded far from civilization and have to find a way home, or the like). I love them for their banter, for how Rita's the smart one, for how they're best friends. They're FUN, and that's what I love to see come through in a story. Any other characters as desired or needed (Donnie Dogs and Lipschitz are always fun, but use whomever works best for you), just...Chris and Rita being FUN and clever and working in unison.
Jericho (2006)
Allison Hawkins, Gail Green
Optional Details: By the time Rob is granted asylum in Texas, Allison knows how much she is like her father. She doesn't know how much she is like Gail Green, nor does Gail know the details of what so much of her family died defending.
Feel free to include Rob if that is where the story goes...or anyone else you need. I'm most interested in Allison, though, and the development of her character over the series was something I found really interesting.
Allison is very much Rob's daughter. I'd also enjoy seeing the further development of their brittle relationship, and the way they adjust to one another as fellow soldiers/warriors beyond the damaged father/daughter relationship that they had at the beginning of the series.
Note About Sarah Jane:
In both of the following, it's SARAH I'm most interested in. I love the other characters too, especially Nat and Clyde and Maria and Rani and Luke and Alan...but, for me, it is always about Sarah Jane, and the others only as they orbit around her.
Also, although I have places where I don't agree with it, this timeline compiling DW and SJA and TW is, I think, very useful. Just in case you were to need it or not have seen it before.
Sarah Jane Smith (Big Finish Audio)
Sarah Jane Smith (BF Audio), Nat Redfern
Optional Details: Sarah and Nat have to pretend to be married in the suburbs or are both held hostage. I love tropes, I do. Sarah and Nat just going out for tea and discussing life will make me happy, though. Or Sarah having Nat over for tea on Bannerman Lane to meet her *new* entourage. Or Nat helping Sarah move in when she buys the huge house on Bannerman Lane (and a note about its total inaccessibility).
I'm interested in the progression of Nat's disability. In the first SJS:BF season, Nat has a manual chair and is fiercely independent about it. In the second season, she's using a power chair. To me, that says that whatever the cause of her disability, it is progressive in nature and her mobility, strength, endurance, or some combination of these is being reduced over time. I'm curious about that, about Nat's responses, about Sarah's reactions.
Sarah Jane Adventures
Sarah Jane Smith (SJA)
Optional Details: In my head the Big Finish fits into this continuity. But really...anything focusing on Sarah being intrepid investigative reporter would be great. I'd actually love to see a montage of clips of what made Sarah become known as the "Mad Woman of Bannerman Lane" ...back when she was still brittle and abrupt and ignored her neighbors before being with the kids "civilised" her a bit.
I'd be interested in something that explores the idea that the easiest way to explain Luke and his off-beat knowledge and social gaps would be to get him an Asperger's diagnosis.
I'd be interested in that year and a half between "School Reunion" and "Invasion of the Bane"...or in the Bannerman Lane dealings with the events of The Year That Never Was, the events of "Children of Earth," the fallout after "Stolen Earth" or anything that crosses the series over. All optional ideas, of course.
