Gen Fic Swap: Dear Author
Hello! I want to start this post by thanking you, anonymous author, for offering to write a story for me :-) Below I've included some general information about my tastes and some musings on my requests, in case you need inspiration.
I dislike: Excessive violence, gore, and sad endings. Angst isn't really my thing unless it's a stepping-stone on the way to everything working out.
I like: Both plot and fluff. Casefic is great, interesting AUs are great, one thousand words of characters bantering over coffee? Awesome! I like worldbuilding, if you want to go in that direction, and you'll probably note from my prompts that I enjoy reading about characters developing family and pseudo-family bonds. I'm also cool with crossovers between any of my requested fandoms, of you have an idea.
Orphan Black (Charlotte Bowles, Helena, Sarah Manning, Cosima Niehaus, Tony Sawicki)
I love the themes of family and identity in this show, and how those two intersect when the clones being thinking of each other as siblings. This has been really obvious in Helena's storyline but we get to see it with all the clones once they spend real time together.
I'd like to see some interaction between clones that reflects their developing relationships with each other, especially including the new clones introduced last season, Tony and wee Charlotte. I'm excited to see Charlotte maybe meet more clones next season (and the clones' kids!). Other clones are welcome to be involved, too, including clones who are already dead on the show.
Supernatural (Anna Milton, Gabriel, Mary Winchester, Ellen Harvelle)
I'm not up to date on the show anymore, but I really enjoy what the show used to be and still rewatch old eps (especially seasons four and five). What I particularly enjoyed in this show was the worldbuilding and longer story arcs. For example, I liked when we got insights into hunter culture outside Sam and Dean's individual experiences.
You'll note that all my requested characters are no longer among the living. What I'd really like is for them to not be dead, if you could? Maybe they never died like they did in the show (for example, I love a good Mary Lives AU), or maybe they help each other return earthside? If you find yourself struggling to bring all four characters together within the confines of your story, please feel free to skip one or two of my requested characters.
Teen Wolf (TV) (Allison Argent, Cora Hale, Danny Mahealani, Erica Reyes, Kira Yukimura)
I first started reading Teen Wolf fic before ever watching the show. It was during the hiatus between season one and season two, and there was a lot of fic about the pack coming into its own and figuring out how they relate to each other and to the rest of the supernatural community as a whole. That stuff was amazing and while I do enjoy the show well enough as it is, I would enjoy it better if it was more that sort of stuff and less about people dieing. You feel me?
I would love if you could manage a story where most or all of my requested characters are alive and part of the pack. The fic does not have to delve into why they aren't dead/absent, but if you have a story in you to explain how Allison, Cora, and Erica returned to Beacon Hills I would definitely read it.
