Dear Rarecharacters Creator
Hi! You are awesome! Thank you for signing up! I hope you'll enjoy making your project as much as I'll love seeing it completed!
I'm fortunate not to have any triggers, but I do have a couple of back-button squicks that it would be great if you could avoid: romanticized/eroticized depictions of incest or rape are dealbreakers for me.
If you already have an idea; run with it! I can't wait to see it! If more detail from me will make your life easier, then below I'll ramble a bit about stuff I like in general and about each potential fandom.
In general, I love: found families, characters who are more tenderhearted than they first appear, redemption narratives, double lives, and imperfectly happy endings.
If you're writing fic, know that I love both gen and ship-fic of all flavors and will love whichever one you go for! I will also always be a sucker for any kind of unusual narration: second-person, 1st-person plural, outsider POV, unreliable narrator, inanimate object, etc., etc., etc.... Please don't feel pressured to do something you wouldn't have fun with, but know that if you were thinking about experimenting, you'd find a receptive audience in me!
[Fullmetal Alchemist]Fullmetal Alchemist, Alex Louis Armstrong and/or Sig Curtis -
I just love these huge, imposing dudes, who we know are actually kind and warm, especially when we see them dealing with small children. If you want to use both characters together, I'd love a scene from the time Major Armstrong accompanied the Elrics to Dublith. For Sig alone, I'd love a peek at life with Izumi (during her training of the boys or not). For Armstrong alone, I'd love to see him with Maria Ross on the road to Xing or doing other sneaky spy stuff with Team Mustang and Madam Christmas (either during the manga or afterward).
[Mercy]Mercy, any -
I love any time the nurses are away from the hospital together, talking about whatever. I love Veronica and Mike and how much they love each other, even when they make each other too sad to stay married. I love Veronica's separate shared histories with Sands and with Mike and Sonia and various Flanagan brothers. Pretty much the only way to go wrong with this show for me would be character-bashing; I will love anything that loves these characters! If you're making icons, I'd especially love one of Veronica and Mike (and the pig!) from the final scene of the episode "I Saw This Pig and I Thought of You".
[Fast and Furious franchise]Fast and Furious series, any -
My favorite thing about this series is the found family vibe. I'd love a missing scene of some down time during the elaborate jobs in the later installments or that visits with the characters in the spaces between movies. Poker night featuring any combination of these characters would be amazing. If you go shippy: I love all the canon ships, but I also have unshakeable headcanon that, following 2F2F, Roman and Brian had a pretty intense affair, which ended by surprisingly mature/healthy mutual, amicable agreement some time prior to Brian's return to LA, and I think there's a lot of interesting potential for Elena/Dom/Letty or Letty/Dom and Elena/Dom as open relationships.
[Iron Man movies]Iron Man movies, Maya Hansen and/or Eric Savin and/or Harley Keener -
I did not expect to love Iron Man 3 as much as I do! Any fic about Maya would be awesome: a scene from her life between the NYE flashback and the movie's main events; something where she survives her final scene in the movie (and perhaps Maya/Pepper or Maya/Pepper/Tony ensues?). I'm pretty endlessly fascinated by the Extremis trials (the recruiting, the testing, the washouts, etc.), so any fic dealing with that period of the movie's backstory would be great. For Savin on his own, any peek at how he ended up as Killian's right hand, or what he does in between incidents of terrorism. For Harley, I'd love a missing scene (reuniting with Mom and little sister after the town is torn up; watching the Mandarin broadcasts/other later events of the movie unfold on the news) or something cast out a little ways into the future that gives us an idea of how different his life is for having crossed paths with Tony.
[Hart of Dixie]Hart of Dixie, any -
In terms of gen: I'd love friendship fic about pretty much any residents of this town, but especially Lavon & Zoe, Lemon & Wade, Wade & George, or anything about Bluebell-at-large coming together to make an oddball town event happen. If you go shippy: I primarily ship Zoe/Wade, but I'll be disappointed if the show never gives me a brief shot of Lemon/Wade, and I wouldn't mind a dash of Zoe/Jonah; George/Anyone-Other-Than-Zoe and Lavon/Anyone-Who-Will-Be-Good-to/for-Him-(Because-He-Is-The-Best!) are also neat! Burt Reynolds is a nominated character; NGL, I would heartily support Burt Reynolds' POV crack.
[Lost Girl]Lost Girl, Kenzi and/or Hale and/or Trick -
I've only recently caught onto this show, and I'm not quite current yet, so I'd appreciate no spoilers past season 2! Kenzi and Hale (or Kenzi/Hale!) figuring out the mystery-of-the-week, possibly while undercover, would be awesome. Hale (& Dyson if you like!) doing the day job - maybe on a case that actually turns out to be completely mundane - also awesome. I'd also love to see what Hale gets up to off the clock (please no 'Siren's-song-as-magical-roofies;what-a-scamp!', though)! Trick is a cool character because of how much knowledge/how many characters he has access or connections to through the Dal; basically any story about The Things That Happen In A-Fae-Refuge/Pub with Trick behind the bar, ministering to canon characters or OCs or a little of both, will be awesome.
