Yuletide Letter
Hi Writer:
Thank you for writing for me. I can promise you that I'll be thrilled with anything you write. I am extremely flexible, love to read pretty much antying, and believe that people should have the freedom to write whatever strikes them as necessary and important. However, if you're looking for a little more guidance than that, I can tell you about a few things that I love to see in fanfiction. This list is by no means exhaustive.
I like fics that are character-driven, and timely and/or relevant to what's going on in canon. For instance, for an X-Force fic, I'd love to see the characters deal with some of the more recent developments--the stuff with Fantomex's death, for instance. I'm not as big a fan of AU fics--but if they're done well, I generally enjoy anything.
I enjoy all kinds of ships and have few squicks. If you feel the need to pair any character with another for any reason, go for it. I won't complain. You'll never offend me.
I don't have any problems with angst or depressing material. In fact, I actually enjoy realistic, less-happy endings if those endings are justified in some way. In fact, i think my favorite type of story in the world is one with an uneasy resolution--a coming-to-terms or realization--that leaves the character with an attitude about the world that is complex.
Onto the specifics:
The Shield
Since there's so little fanfic out there for The Shield, I'll be thrilled with whatever you write. Feel free to write about Dutch, Claudette, Vic, Shane, any of the above, or just one of the above. If you want to pair any of them, I won't complain. If you don't, that's okay too. Would especially like to see anything post-season 3 or pre-season 4 that deals with the fallout of the Vic-Shane fight.
The New X-Men
Again, feel free to use any, all, or just one of these characters. Would be especially happy to see a fic about some kind of "special occasion" at the school--a school picnic, a field trip, a guest speaker, whatever. Or, if you want to write a fic that deals with what these characters are going through now (post Academy X), that's okay too. (I'm especially interested in how Julian Keller deals with the loss of his hands and/or the addition of his new prosthetic hands.) Pairings welcome.
X-Force
I'm expecially interested in what's happened in X-Force in the past year. I would love a fic about Kurt and how he's dealing with being in this universe. Or, would love to see something on the Betsy/Fantomex relationship.
Again, thanks for writing. Feel free to drop any comments below. I'll turn off IP tracking and allow anoymous comments.
