Dear Shipswap Writer
Hi!
Thank you for writing for me! I'm so excited to be part of an exchange that's all about the ships. Shipping is such a huge part of my fandom interest. I tend to ship canon and close-to-canon ships, so that's what I'm asking for here. Most of these are things I've asked for in other exchanges, so feel free to read my past letters and use stuff from them. It all still applies! I'm also on Twitter and GoodReads. My AO3 name is Katayla.
If you already have an idea, feel free to run with it! In terms of DNWs, I'd rather not get anything that wouldn't appear in the canon. (Same goes for ratings.) I tend to like happy or at least hopeful endings, but I am okay with canon-typical angst, since some of these ships certainly have it.
Things I like are banter, characters laughing together, cats, books, baseball, hope, missing scenes, future fic, outside POVs, playing with hair, baby/kid fic, and touching.
My signup included more detail than usual for me, so I'm just copying the texts of my requests.
Cainsville - Kelley Armstrong
Gabriel Walsh/Olivia Taylor-Jones, FanFic
I know this is an OT3-y kind of series, but I just fell so hard for Gabriel/Olivia. I love poor emotionally-stunted Gabriel and Olivia's acceptance of him. I'd love something about one of his attempts to become less emotionally stunted. Or him figuring out more of his feelings for Olivia.
I'm also into seeing more of Olivia's understanding of him. I love that she believes the best of him without letting him off the hook for his mistakes.
(I don't mind if you include Ricky. I am just more interested in Gabriel!)
Hidden Legacy Series - Ilona Andrews
Connor "Mad" Rogan/Nevada Baylor, FanFic
ANYTHING! I love these two (and this book) so much and I'm so sad it's still a long wait for the next one. More helpfully, how DOES Rogan convince Neveda he's not a psychopath? Does she give in and sleep with him anyway? I'd also be really into future fic with them as an established couple.
The President's Daughter series - Ellen Emerson White
Meghan Powers/Preston Fielding, FanFic
I'd love established relationship fic for these two. Maybe there's a political crisis they have to deal with together. Or maybe one of Meg's brothers gets into some kind of trouble and they help him through it.
I'm also into how the media affects their relationship. There's that great moment in the fourth book when they're eating breakfast with the reporter and Meg stops herself from stealing food off Preston's plate because it would give the wrong impression. (OR WOULD IT?) And the mention of them in Page Six! So does the media gossip about them? Do they try to hide their relationship?
Star Wars (Movies)
Han Solo/Leia Organa, FanFic
I liked these two before, but somehow The Force Awakens made me fall really hard for Han/Leia. I would love something happy for them! I've been having fun diving into the Expanded Universe (or Legends, I guess) books. Please feel free to go with either canon! I love them both.
I'd prefer something set when they're already a couple. Maybe after they've been together for a while? Or, if you go movieverse, maybe a missing moment in The Force Awakens?
Women of the Otherworld - Kelley Armstrong
Hope Adams/Karl Marsten, FanFic
These two are my favorite ship in the series. I’m not even sure I can articulate why. Maybe it was the fun of first meeting Karl as a villain and then falling in love with him through Hope’s eyes. Maybe it’s my slight tendency to fall for older man/younger woman romances. Whatever it is, I love them and I want MORE.
I'd love to see them with Hope's family (her mother loves him!). I'm also really curious about their decision to have children, since they initially seemed against the idea. Or even just something about their daily life! They are much more involved in the "real world" than the rest of the Pack. (That said--I would also be into a Pack story about them!)
Thanks so much for writing for me!
