Dear rarewomen author
Dear rarewomen author, hi andthank you! I genuinely love all of these fandoms and all of these women 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.
♥ My favourite kind of fic is friendship fic.
♥ 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.
Demon Knights (The Horsewoman)
I wrote two letters for Demon Knights, although those have been for Al Jabr, Horsewoman and Ystin, while this one is just for Horsewoman. These three are my three favourite from the canon, but I love all the characters in this canon. I also got an amazing for it for yuletide that left me wanting more.
I headcanon both that Al Jabr became immortal after the events of issue 22 and he and Horsewoman are BFFs, so anything touching on that would be great. Most of all, I want Horsewoman's advetures through the ages. How did she come to be in Little Spring? Does she ever meet the others again?
Locke & Key (Any: Kinsey Locke, Jordan Gates)
I've written a bunch of letters for Locke & Key, but they all boil down to "write me anything and I will love it". I'm particularly fond of Kinsey's friendship with Jackie and the little glimpse we got into her relationship with Jordan.
If you could manage it (suspiciously convenient Key!), I would love for Miranda Locke to come to the present and interact with Kinsey and/or Jordan. Feel free to AU the ending as much or as little as you want. How does Jordan feel about her decision? Does Kinsey use the Mending Cabinet?
Lost Girl (Kenzi)
Kenzi! ♥ At this point, I'm pretty much watching Lost Girl for Kenzi (Hale and Tamsin can come too). I was not happy with the Season 4 finale, let me tell you. (Except for the WW1 revenants, those made extreme amounts of sense and were really cool.) I would be more than happy if you chose to ignore that ending or fix-it in anyway. Likewise, the thing with Hale. I also loved the interaction between wee!Tamsin and Kenzi and the way Lauren and Kenzi are getting along better.
She's the Man (2006) (Viola Hastings)
I find this movie hilarious, in the best possible way. I can't watch it with a straight face and that's what I love most about it. I also love Viola's circle of friends and how supportive they are, wether it's of her crossdressing plan or just in general. I kind of shipped Viola/Olivia (and Viola/Olivia/Duke), so if you want to go that way, please do so. I'd also like to know what happened after the end of the movie. Did Viola become a soccer superstar?
Spider-Man (Ultimateverse) (Gwen Stacy)
I wrote one letter for this character already. Gwen Stacy is pretty rad, ngl. I want to hear all about her life with May (in Paris or in New York), her superhero team-ups, her interactions with Katie Bishop and Miles Morales, if she ever meets Cloak and Dagger, about her feelings for Jess (I ship it), how she deals with the fallout from Cataclysm, does she comment on MJ's blog? How does she feel about having called the President a jerk? I would also love a story where she saves the day.
