Dear Author,
Thanks so much for partaking in this awesomeness! I've been ridiculously lucky in past exchanges so thanks again in advance for whatever you write me. If you have any additional questions about my likes/dislikes (which are shamelessly recycled from previous letters), feel free to hit me up anonymously on here or
tumblr.
LIKES:
- AUs. I have a vast array of interests (e.g. academia, crime/heist, harlequins, mythology, sports, steampunk, superheroes, rule 63, etc.) so hopefully that opens things up a bit.
- All the romcom tropes ever. Give me pining, pretend relationships, friends with benefits, jealousy, misunderstandings, awkward first dates, meet-cutes - all that goodness. I'm also a huge fan of the arranged marriage trope or falling in love with the ~wrong person/someone you're not supposed to (e.g.
While You Were Sleeping,
You've Got Mail,
My Best Friend's Wedding, etc.).
- Sex is awesome, but not a requirement. If you do feel like writing something porn-y, pretty much anything consensual goes. I'm a big fan of riding, light bondage, toys, semi-public sex, and frantic/desperate moments as well as sweet, playful ones.
- Happy endings would be nice, but I'll settle for something on the hopeful or more ambiguous side.
DISLIKES: non-con, infidelity, bestiality, incest, character-bashing, gratuitous violence
REQUESTS:
Henrik Lundqvist/Marc Staal
Give me Marc pining from afar or a meet-cute AU with the two of them. Hank as a model? Marc as a photographer? Maybe throw in some Staal brother ridiculousness/shenanigans. Anything from my likes goes.
Evgeni Malkin/James Neal
Maybe a high school/college AU with James quietly pining over Geno who he thinks is with Sid (or whoever)? Or anything addressing the distance between them after the trade to Nashville and how that affects their relationship. Any other ideas inspired by my likes would be good too.
Chris Kreider/Cam Talbot
Anything from my likes. I'd especially love any AU based off a classic teen movie - Pretty in Pink, Clueless, 10 Things I Hate About You, etc. Or maybe show me how they deal with the distance now that Cam's in Edmonton. D:
Alex Galchenyuk/Brendan Gallagher
My kingdom for a
Cutting Edge AU where Brendan is Doug and Alex is Kate and everything is beautiful. Alternatively, an AU where Alex travels the world for NatGeo or Discovery Channel and essentially
plays with animals for ~educational purposes, while Brendan is his cameraman/co-host/whatever else fits. I'm also down for anything cheesy and sappy and true to life.
