Dear Night on Fic Mountain writer
Dear writer,
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope you have fun writing the story, whatever you choose to write in the end, and I'm sure I'll have fun reading whatever you write. To help you with writing a story, I can try to tell you some things about about my general likes and dislikes in fiction, and then something about the specifics of what I like in fic written for these fandoms. This is the first time, I think, I'm taking part in an exchange like this and I'm sort of nervous, but let'start and see where it takes us, shall we?
Women. Independent women. Queens. Men as their loyal huntsmen. Gen. Relationships. F/F and F/M especially, but M/M too. Polyamory as well. Love in all shapes and forms. Power disparity. Rage - not pointless rage, mind you. Happy endings and not so happy endings and repetitions, I love repetitions. Contrasting use of language and structure, witty dialogue. A lack of grand, be-all-end-all revelations. Adultery. Hurt/comfort and smoking and substance use and abuse and destructive and self-destructive behavior. Guilt. Self-awareness and people being performative and aware of clichés. Clichés turned upside down and clichés played straight. Character studies. Gender role exploration. Guns. Women with guns. Fluff. Poetic sentences. Intentional vagueness. Words. Fairytale AUs/references. Sex. Exploration of sexuality. Non spectacular sex. Touching. Hands. Blood. Plot, occasionally. Doom, gloom and personal growth.
Gender inequality. Non-con and dub-con, if not well handled. Women pushed to the sidelines because of men. Slut shaming, victim blaming. Endings that lack hope.
Fandom specific wishes:
M'gann M'orzz. Dick Grayson. Zatanna Zatara. Conner Kent. Artemis Crock.
Any/all of these relationships. Especially M'gann/Conner, M'gann/Dick, Dick/Zatanna, Artemis/M'gann/Zatanna (or any combination of the girls, really.)
Balancing being a hero with being a teenager, especially a teenager with friendships and relationships. Comfort, being tired, giving up and getting back in the game again. Injuries. Curtain fic. Having fun. Sloppy make-outs. Quiet nights in. Sharing beds. Being teenagers basically.
Mary. Bash. Catherine. Kenna. Aylee.
Mary is a queen. Bash as her loyal huntsman. Mary and/or Catherine and/or the ladies scheming and plotting. Scheming and plotting is the best. Mary/Bash. Mary/Any/All of The Ladies.
Everyone. Mindy. Mindy is the best. Danny.
I'm mostly interested in these two characters, especially their interaction. Mindy/Danny is a thing of beauty. Any sort of exploration of them, either separately or apart would thrill me to no end.
Virginia Johnson. William Masters. Libby Masters. Margaret Scully. Betty DiMello.
Any and all of the women in this show. Especially Virginia. Virginia as a mother, as a lover, as a working woman. Libby as a wife and a housewife. The same for Margaret. Betty as a prostitute, Betty as a woman, Betty as a lesbian. Virginia/William, a scientific experiment that never was just that. Relationship between any/all of these women.
LEMON BREELAND. Zoe Hart. Wade Kinsella. Magnolia Breeland.
Lemon Breeland in all her petty, vengeful, tireless, hard-working, jealous, insecure, zealous, heartwarming glory. Lemon is my favorite. Zoe/Wade. Wade/Lemon. Lemon and Magnolia as sisters. Lemon and Zoe as friends and/or foes and potentially partners. Any and all of the relationships between these people.
Gabriel. John Constantine. Angela Dodson. Lucifer. Isabel Dodson. Gabriel.
Any/all explorations of any Biblical mythology. Angels, devils and the grey in between, if there is such a thing. Constantine as the gatekeeper between heaven and hell. Gabriel. Everything/anything including Gabriel. Constantine/Gabriel. Give it to me. Constantine/Angela. Angela+Isabel as sisters, what was that like? Angela's life, Isabel's life, separate or apart. Gabriel, have I mentioned Gabriel?
I hope you have fun :)
ETA: if the characters mention differ here from those I mentioned in my sing-up on AO3, feel free to choose from any/all of the listed. I redid the lists a few times, but all of these are in my heart, so all's well.
