Dear Every Woman creator

Dear
everywoman Creator,

Thank you for writing for me! I'm sure whatever you write me will be wonderful.

Feel free to poke around this journal or my Ao3 account (username: sevenofspade) if you want to. My letters tag is here.

I have three Do Not Wants: incest, rape and child abuse. When these are canon, please don't focus on them. I'd also prefer is you didn't dwell on any suicidal ideation or prolonged descriptions of grief. I would also prefer not to have to deal with people losing things important to them and toxic living arrangements, be that family or roomates. Thank you.

On the other hand, there are a lot of things I do want. Here’s a partial list. (I obviously don’t expect you to stick all of these in one story, that would be impossible.)

• Plot. I prefer it to both introspection and porn, but it doesn’t have to be a massive epic.

• Hopeful and/or bittersweet endings, just not the unrelenting grim darkness of the far future

• FRIENDSHIP FIC. You can never go wrong with friendship fic as far as I’m concerned.

• Femslash, gen, het, poly and slash! I'm honestly not difficult. Most of my prompts are gen, but if you want to take them in a shippy direction, go right ahead! I've pointed out ships I ship, but if you ship something else, I'll gladly read it. I tend to ship ALL THE SHIPS.

• Dinosaurs.

• IN SPAAAAAAAAACE AUs

• Historical AUs. If you're looking for something more specific, I'm always a sucker for the Second Punic War.

• Fandom AUs! Or better yet, fandom not!AUs, in which the canon is exactly the same, except everyone's in fandom!

• (Consider "They do yuletide [fandom exchange of your choice]" as your get-out-of-jail-free card when it comes to plot.)

• Crack taken seriously.

• People on opposite side who care about each other! Whether it's enemies-turned-(grudging)-friends or friends-turned-(grudging)-enemies or any other variation on this theme, I love this trope very dearly.

• Complicated relationships and conflicted loyalties in general, really.

• Superpowers!

• Canon-divergent AUs! Allllllll the “WHAT IF” fics. ALL OF THEM.

• Identity porn! When someone (or several people) have secret identities (fannish, superheroic, all of the above, etc) and their interactions change depending on who's presenting as what at any given time.

• People being smart/competent!

• Timetravel! I love all the kinds of timetravel. The ones that create paradoxes and the ones that don't; the ones that are stable and the ones that aren't; the ones with alternate pasts/presents/futures and all the rest. Just. All the timetravel, yeah?

• Worldbuilding! Fuck yeah, worldbuilding. Tell me everything about a tiny (or not so tiny) canon detail. Show the parts of the world the canon never goes to. TELL ME ABOUT THE STORIES THEY TELL IN THAT UNIVERSE. (Seriously. Rewrite canon as a legend from that universe, that would be amazing.)

• Folktales/fairytales/etc.

• If all else fails, you can always stick any random combination of characters on a roadtrip/force them to work together and have them become friends and I will eat it up with a spoon.

Fandoms

(All of these already have tags you can browse for previous letters and general thoughts, even if said tags might be broader than the specific subsets requested here.)

Ancient History RPF: Dido of Carthage, Cornelia Africana
Dido founding Carthage. Cornelia and her father. Dido and Cornelia meeting in the afterlife!
(Tag)

Demon Knights: Horsewoman
My favourite of Horsewoman's relationship is her being BFF with Al Jabr. I would also love to hear what she's up during the hiatus (or after, or before the series).
(Tag)

Locke & Key: Any of Erin Voss, Jackie Veda, Jordan Gates, Kinsey Locke
ANYTHING especially a happy AU in which everyone lives -- or even a not so happy AU where everyone lives but where Dodge won.
(Tag)

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Wanda Maximoff
Wanda! Post AoU/pre CACW or post CACW. Feel free to pull from the comics if you want. I'm down for every Wanda ship not covered by my DNWs, except Wanda/Vision.
(Tag)

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Bianca di Angelo, Rachel Elizabeth Dare, Thalia Grace (PJO)
Bianca with the Hunters (in the afterlife or not). Rachel bonding with Hazel over art (I have not yet read Trials of Apollo, fyi, but feel free to draw on it anyway). Thalia and Luke.
(Tag)

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types: Riyo Chuchi (Clone Wars)
I really like Riyo and how fierce and kind she is. I def ship her with Ahsoka, but any other ship would also be cool. The show gives me a lot of feelings about the clones so seeing Riyo involved in that could be cool. Maybe she's dating Rex, I don't know.

Yoko Tsuno (Comics): Group: Yoko Tsuno & Khâny
I ship it super hard, but BFFS IN SPACE is also amazing. I would love love worldbuilding about Vinean culture.
