Hello, lovely writer!
First up, Option Details are Optional! Please only take the below into account if you want some inspiration. If there's something you're dying to write, please use the fest as an excuse! Write the story of your heart! As long as it doesn't hit any of my squicks, I'm bound to love it.
I don't have many things I don't want, but they're very hard NOs, so I'd appreciate your avoiding them, please. I can't stand Zombies, bullying (even if resolved/tackled in-story), slave AUs, graphic sex/violence, and I'm strongly emetophobic.
Above all, though, please enjoy yourself!
If you'd like some more suggestions:
LOVES: I am, first and foremost, a Gen fic person. I love friendship fics, team fic, found-family feels, action, humour and crack!fic, and I have a competency kink a mile wide. I don't mind sad stories, as long as they don't have an unrelentingly miserable ending - I enjoy bittersweet and melancholy things very much. AUs are my guilty pleasure, especially fusions and fork in the road' type fics. Fics that fill gaps in canon, or fix plot holes are awesome.
While I love Gen, I'm more than happy to have a romantic pairing in a fic, canon or not, I just prefer the fic not to be *about* the romance.
Fandom-Specific:
RIVERS OF LONDON
London has so many urban legends and myths, that just having any of the characters - main or supporting - tackle one of those would be wonderful. I'm happy to have any and all characters beyond the ones requested, and even just a small 'day in the life in weird London' story would delight me. After Peter and Nightingale, my particular favourites are Sara Guleed and Abigail, but Zachary Palmer and Lady Caroline are right up there as well.
I'm a huge fan of modern day fairy tales, putting new spins on old stories. One thing I love about Peter is his no-nonsense approach to his apparently nonsensical world, so something where he picks apart an urban myth, or points out the obvious flaw in a fairy tale would be fab.
Something I haven't seen much of is Nightingale in his 'wilderness' years, between the war and his meeting Peter. How did he build a relationship with the new Metropolitan police? He seems to know the commissioner and Seawold - when did they meet?
Also, I'm a Londoner originally, so anything messing around with London landmarks will make me grin happily.
I have a preference away from Grant/Nightingale as a pairing, as it just doesn't work for me, but I have no problems with any other pairings, although I always prefer them in the background rather than as the focus of the fic (even Peter/Beverley).
Canon-wise, I've read/heard everything - novels, novellas, shorts and comics, so feel free to go nuts with whatever material you want!
JESSICA JONES
One of the things I love is Jessica being a competent PI, so a casefic would be awesome. Or how she came to set up Alias Investigations in the first place - Jessica vs bureaucracy as she tries to get her licence would be all kinds of awesome. I'm also a big fan of Malcolm, so would love something after the end of S1 with the two of them bouncing off each other. Something post-Defenders with Jessica dealing or not dealing (however you see it!) would be fab.
While I'd rather not have something from the Killgrave era of her life, if you have something you really want to say about it, then go for it. For myself, I can only ever read that period as non-con. I quite enjoy the Jessica and Hogarth dynamic, so anything about how they met or came to work together would be fascinating.
I would very much not like Jess/Trish please, as I read their relationship as siblings, and incest-fic isn't my thing.
By the time of the fest, I will have seen both JJ series and The Defenders.
DAREDEVIL
My big jam is friendship fic and found-family, so any kind of slice of life, downtime or missing scene episode would be fab. I'd love to see how Karen and Claire would get on with each other if they met, or Foggy and Karen coping in the wake of The Defenders. I'm also deeply intrigued by Elektra's life between leaving Matt and finding him again, so anything focussing on her double-agent lifestyle & Stick's secret crusade would be wonderful.
I do love Matt, Karen and Foggy as friends, and would love a 'normal' case for them, especially between seasons 1 and 2. How do they get so many clients? What are the bar nights like? How is Foggy coping with knowing Matt is Daredevil? And what's Claire up to?
I would definitely prefer Gen in this fandom, although suggestions of background relationships (especially Matt/Elecktra or Matt/Foggy/Karen as a three) aren't a problem.
I'm totally up to date on canon, including The Defenders - feel free to write fix-it or handwave it or write fall-out from it. I'm up for anything!
BURN NOTICE
My favourite thing in Burn Notice is the wackiness of earlier seasons, rather than the angst of later ones. The insane gadgets, the crazy undercover work, the uncanny way Michael can get people to do things. I love competent characters, and how they cope when things go wrong. I also love just ordinary, mundane stories and what they tell us about them - how they talk to each other when they're not on a mission or under stress. Just the normal things like washing and grocery shopping. Anything from things going boom to unpacking tins of beans, I'll love it!
As ever, I have a strong preference towards Gen, even if it's set at at time when Michael and Fiona are a couple.
Canon-wise, I've seen everything, but much prefer S1-S4, although I did quite enjoy the very end.
