dear rare ship swap author
letter coming soon
eta by the end of 2/15....or 2/16. *sigh*
Pretty much a cut and paste of last year's.
I really am not picky. I'll love whatever is written for me. I don't tend to come up with specific prompts as I want my writer to go with their muse, but the basics are below as well as some suggestions that you are completely free to ignore because optional details are optional.
I do list a few things I don't like at all and I'm sure you'll take those into account because you're awesome. Also, I love any rating, pretty much any genre, het, slash and gen, and dark stuff (even noncon) is AOK with me. If you want to see what I like to read, just check out what I write, either at AO3 (ladyoneill) or my website, www.meanderingmuse.com
But, again, write wherever your muse takes you!
First a few things I don't enjoy: second person, scat and watersports, incest, deathfic (unless specifically asked for or it's a canon character death), mpreg (except a few fandoms where I love it and write it obsessively ie Teen Wolf), babies/kids dying unless in canon or very minor characters, ABO dynamics, bashing characters (unless the characters do it in canon), all human AUs (which probably don't apply here), high school AUs, complete AUs where people are placed in different eras or different places or space, when, for example, the fandom is set in 2015 California, and, finally always a different gender characters. I prefer fics that are AU from canon but still have the canon characteristics (vampires are vampires for example) and the characters are the ages and genders they are on the show/in the book etc.
I'm not a huge fan of complete fluff but love happy endings. I love angst and dark stuff and kink other than the ones listed above that I don't like. I also love domestic stories, and character driven stories, and baby/kid fics. I'm a historian at heart (and degrees) so historical accuracy or at least along the lines of the fandom is greatly appreciated. Oh, and I don't mind infidelity; I know some people do. While I used to love first person, I find myself preferring third these days but like either present or past tense, and I love flashbacks. I also will get thrown out of a fic by using language or grammar particular to a country that is not canon. I know this can be difficult, but all four of the fandoms I requested are set in America. I'm an American. There are places online where you can find the American equivalent to English terms like sweater over jumper and mom over mum etc. I don't mind British spelling, though.
Always remember please that gen fic is fine! As long as you write about at least one of the pairings I listed, I'll be thrilled.
Oh, also, if you want to throw in other characters from the fandom not listed or in the tagset as minor characters, feel free. There are none in any of the fandoms I've requested that I don't like.
1) Teen Wolf is my current big fandom and has been for about 2 1/2 years. I especially love the adults (not evil Peter being my favorite) and Stiles and Lydia. I'm not a big fan of any of the other teens but I'm fine with them being secondary characters in the story. I adore the Sheriff--John please--and prefer him to a be the great dad he is on the show. I like my Stiles smart and sassy. I love Derek being all stoic on the outside yet tender on the inside. I prefer Stiles as a bottom, otherwise I'm fine with the male characters being either top or bottom. Lydia's the real alpha anyway.
2 & 3) Buffy and Angel: I've always seen these as one big fandom. I'm happy as a clam with a not completely insane Angelus or a darkish Angel over fluffy Angel. Spike is my...well, Spike is just my everything. He's my favorite character--I love him with Buffy, with Dru, with Angel, with Darla, with Willow, with Illyria etc. This was my first fandom; it's still dear to my heart and I still occasionally write in it. I was first a big Spike/Dru fan and still love that pairing. I prefer her as not completely insane, though. Please don't bash Buffy to make another pairing work (or any characters actually). I love her with both Angel and Spike and as a strong female character. While I never liked Fred very much, I love Illyria. And I'm a big fan of redeemed (or somewhat) Lindsey and Lilah. Feel free to bring them back from Hell.
4) Supernatural: I'm a big Cas/Dean and Sam/Gabriel fan. I prefer Gabriel the archangel over the trickster god. I'm not into wincest, but love the brotherly aspect of the Sam & Dean relationship. I also am intrigued by Cas/Meg, the chemistry between them on the show wasn't explored enough. And I like Sam/Jody--they could be interesting together. If you go with Lucifer/Sam I think it has to be dark. I have no problem with that. I also am intrigued with Lucifer in Cas' body so if you want to go that way, that's fine.
