Dear Chocolatier....
First, let me thank you for writing me a story in one of the fandoms we share. I'm excited about all of them.
GENERAL POINTS:
REQUESTS:
These are the same as my sign-up.
The Charioteer - Mary Renault (Alec Deacon & Bim Taylor, Alec Deacon & Laurie Odell, Alec Deacon/Sandy Reid, Aunt Olive & Lucy Odell Straike, Gareth Straike & Jepson, Gareth Straike/Lucy Odell Straike & Laurie Odell/Ralph Lanyon, Hugh Treviss & Ralph Lanyon, Ralph Lanyon & Sandy Reid) fan fictionQuite a lot of fan fiction focuses on the canonical romances; so I'd prefer a story that's a bit different. Possible prompts: Laurie at home/university/work after he's mustered out; life for the Straikes during the war; Alec and Sandy as army doctors; an insider's view of the Bridstow scene; slice-of-life at the E.M.S. hospital. Feel free to include other characters besides those nominated.
I prefer canon-compliant stories that are gen or character-driven mild romance. However, I don't like anything more than PG13: explicit sexual detail is definitely a DNW for me. I prefer not to have characters die in the story; but references to canonical deaths are okay. DNW second person fic.
DC's Arrowverse (Leonard Snart & Mick Rory, Leonard Snart & Lewis Snart & Lisa Snart, Barry Allen & David Singh, Barry Allen & Leonard Snart, Cisco Ramon & Hartley Rathaway, Hartley Rathaway & Leonard Snart & Mark Mardon & Mick Rory & Shawna Baez, Nate Heywood & Ray Palmer) fan fictionIn The Flash, I love the snarky banter of ColdFlash encounters, as well as ethical dilemmas about their CSI/thief relationship. I enjoy stories about the Rogues (even though, canonically, the group was never formed.) I'd like to see a focus on Barry as a CSI. And the snarky relationship that Cisco has with Hartley goes back to their old S.T.A.R. Labs rivalry, and continues throughout the series. Having said that, I love Team Flash as an ensemble; so feel free to include other characters if you want.
And of course, Snart belongs also to Legends. So for Mick and Len, the story could be based either in Central City or on the Waverider, dealing with past, present ... or future. (No way is Snart dead!) As for the rest of the crew, the friendship between Ray and Nate was always rewarding. However, Legends is an ensemble, as far as I'm concerned: the evershifting roster of old, new, and newest, all managing to barely work together at best, but succeeding in their weird and wonderful missions. So feel free to include any of the other characters.
I don't like anything more than PG13: explicit sexual detail is definitely a DNW for me. DNW soulmates, A/B/O, mpreg, wingfic, genderswap, kidfic. Canon-divergent AUs are fine; but DNW other types of AU. I prefer not to have characters die in the story; but references to canonical deaths are okay. DNW second person fic.
Forever Knight (Amanda Cohen & Don Schanke, Don Schanke & Nick Knight, Grace Balthazar & Natalie Lambert, Javier Vachon & Nick Knight, Javier Vachon & Screed & Urs, Joe Reese & Nick Knight & Tracy Vetter, Nick Knight & Tracy Vetter) fan fictionWhile I know FK is usually described as a vampire series, I particularly love the cop aspect of the show. I like both Schanke and Tracy as Nick's partner, with or without the appropriate captain in the mix. Or Natalie as pathologist, working with her lab assistant, Grace. However, I also like the new vampires introduced in Season 3. If you write about Vachon and his crew, then I'd be equally happy with either an incident from their past together or a tale set in the present-day of the series.
I prefer gen; but I'm not asking you to ignore canon relationships. However, I don't like anything more than PG-13: explicit sexual detail is definitely a DNW for me. I prefer not to have characters die in the story; but references to canonical deaths are okay. DNW second person fic. Any other characters you want to include would be fine. Do feel free to ignore "Last Knight" if you want.
Original Work: (Unwilling Superhero Who Just Wants a Quiet Life/Male Supervillain Who Crushes on Him, Superhero in his civilian identity/Supervillain in his civilian identity, Superhero & Unpowered Reporter Who Looks Like Him, Rookie Superhero Struggling to Control His Powers & Experienced Supervillain who Worries, Gay Superhero & Happily Married Male Team Mate He Has a Crush On, Closeted Gay Superhero/Male Supervillain Who Learns His Secret & Homophobic Team Mate, Retired Hero & Reformed Villain, Supervillain's Sidekick/Male Superhero Who Keeps Saving Him, Superhero's Sidekick/Male Supervillain Who Keeps Saving Him) fan fictionAny or all! Mix'n'match. Combine prompts, if that tickles your fancy. Seriously, enjoy yourself.
I don't like anything more than PG13: explicit sexual detail is definitely a DNW for me. DNW soulmates, A/B/O, mpreg, kidfic. I prefer not to have main characters die in the story; but I'm okay with deaths of victims in casefic and the like. DNW first or second person.
WKRP in Cincinnati (Johnny "Fever" Caravella & Venus Flytrap | Gordon Sims, Andy Travis & Venus Flytrap | Gordon Sims, Andy Travis & Johnny "Fever" Caravella & Les Nessman & Venus Flytrap | Gordon Sims, Andy Travis & Herb Tarlek & Les Nessman, Andy Travis & Bailey Quarters & Les Nessman) fan fictionMy ideal fic would be something like one or more scenes from an actual episode, i.e. exploring their friendships, irritations, rivalries, and basic decency, maybe through shenanigans of some sort at the station. This is very much an ensemble show, so feel free to include any of the nominated characters.
I prefer canon-compliant gen stories; but I'm fine with the level of flirting you get in canon. I don't like anything more than PG13: explicit sexual detail is definitely a DNW for me. DNW first or second person fic. DNW AUs.

GENERAL POINTS:
- I love stories that explore canon more deeply, whether through backstory, or elaborating the setting/history/culture, or exploring people's motivations and personal interactions.
- I prefer gen. DNW non-canon / relationships unless requested. I'm not asking you to ignore canon relationships; but please don't make them the focus of the story. I don't care for anything more than PG-13: explicit sexual detail is definitely a DNW for me.
- I love casefic; and, more generally, I like stories that are canon-compliant. The general exception to this is ignoring canonical character death if you want. Canon-divergent AUs are also okay. (There may be other specific exceptions.)
- I'm okay with violence if necessary to the story; but not gore for the sake of gore. On the whole, I prefer not to have characters die in the story; but references to canonical deaths are okay. (I'm fine with having original characters murdered in casefic, and that sort of thing.)
- I enjoy comedy-being able to recognize the ridiculous when it pops up; also wit and wordplay. Having said that, I totally leave it up to you whether you write a serious or comic story-or a serious story with comic interludes.
- No second person fic, please. First person is okay, especially for book canons that were written that way by the author. However, I don't generally care for it with TV fandoms. Epistolary fic is fine.
