Dear beyondpanels author
, Dear 
beyondpanels author, thank you! I genuinely love all of these fandoms and would love absolutely anything you write in any of them. Seriously, I mean it. If that's all you wanted to know, fell free to stop reading right now. If, however, you'd like a better idea of my general likes and dislikes and specific prompts for specific fandoms, read on.
My previous letters are here and my ao3 account is here.
Things I would really really rather not read about: Incest, underage and child abuse. Stay clear of these three and you can write anything you want and I'll love it.
I would also prefer not to read, anything too depressing or porn. But your story takes you down that road, please follow. A good story is more important than these would-prefer-not-to-read-s.
♥ In general, I prefer things that are hopeful and/or bittersweet to the endless grim darkness of the far future.
♥ I'm not really into plotless romance or plotless anything, really. If you want to write lesbian ninjas fighting evil dentists or whatever, I'm cool with femslash, het, maleslash, poly, etc. That said, I go into all stories with no ship feelings so any shipfic will have to make me believe in the ship. When I say 'I ship it' I mostly mean that I'm curious to see how a romantic relationship between those characters would work. That's the most ointriguing part, for me.
♥ Plot doesn't have to mean a 20k+ story, although I wouldn't say no. Something as simple as a roadtrip or finding lost keys will work just as well. I just there to be something physically happening, not just emotionally.
♥ I love canon-divergent AUs and finding out how things would gone if they'd gone differently. On the other hand, I don't really like coffeshop AUs, maybe because I don't drink coffee. Aside from that particular scenario, any kind of setting-swap AU works for me, so if you want to write fic where one half of the cast works for Hannibal Barca and the other for Scipio Africanus? Go for it.
♥ Somewhat related, I like worldbuilding a lot. Explore the setting all you want, I will happily tag along for the ride.
♥ One thing I really really love is the way folklore works and how important stories are and just, if you write me fic about in-universe legends and myths, I will have stars in my eyes forever.
♥ One particular trope I never get tired of is people on opposite side caring about each other, whether in a platonic or romantic sense (friends-to-enemies or enemies-to-friends are just as good). Similarly, people with conflicting interests being forced to work together is also good.
♥ Also, friendship fic. I'm going to prompt loads and loads of friendship fic, because I really love friendship fic.
♥ I don't know if there's a word for it, but I really love it when people take a ridiculous concept and play it totally straight, so feel free to give people superpowers or take them away or have them relive the same day forever to your heart's content.
♥ Which reminds me! Time-travel is brilliant and I love it so. I love all kinds, from 'travelling to the past to save the future/fix the present' kind to the aforementionned timeloop kind to the 'create paradoxes and alternate timelines all over the place' kind to the Bill and Ted's excellent Adventure kind to the 'history is fixed' kind to all kinds, really.
But none of this as important to me as you having fun writing, so use (or don't) any an all parts of this letter.
Red Robin (comics) (Tam Fox)
I love Tam, she's great! I'd love more adventures from her, maybe one where she becomes a superhero. (If you read Batwing, Tam as Batwing would be awesome.) I really want to see the resolution of the Vittoria/Wanderer storyline and Tam and Steph bonding and maybe being introduced to the whole Batfamily. Or dealing with the weirdness of being the personal assistant to one of Gotham's resident vigilantes. Maybe she could bond with Alfred over it? Or maybe she can strike up a friendship with Prudence. I'd like her to save Tim, for once, maybe from Vicki Vale (again), or dealing with Tim's "reeducation".
Young Avengers (Cassie Lang)
Cassie is one of my favourite Marvel characters and I was gutted when she died, especially given how she died (fridging much?). I would absolutely love a fix-it or an AU in which she didn't die. What would Young Avengers v2 look like if she had been around? What about Kate and Cassie's adventure in LA? Is Cassie an honourary member of Team Hawkeye? One thing I am disappointed in the comic is the lack of Tommy and him interacting with Cassie. I've always felt they would have gotten along famously. At the very least, they have a lot in common, from emotionally abusive and/or neglectful parents to accidnetal superpowers to a crush on Kate. So, yeah, Cassie + Tommy bonding time would be awesome.
Locke & Key (Any: Dodge | Echo, Jackie Veda, Jordan Gates, Kinsey Locke)
I've been requesting Locke & Key fairly regularly this year, so if none of the prompts here inspire you, feel free to either check my tag or write whatever you want.
I would love any and all Locke & Key fic, honestly. I would love the fic where Dodge decides that maybe bringing his family is a shit plan and tries to not be evil, or the fic where Jackie is in on the Key thing and how that changes things, or fic where Jordan is hunting down Dodge, ten years after his escape from Prom Night in the Drowning Cave or fic where Kinsey uses the Time Key to become the world's greatest historian. Or the one where they're all airship pirates.
