Dear Author Letter (Every Woman Exchange 2018)
(A letter for Every Woman Exchange 2018)
Hello, Dear Author,
I'm Megan. Thanks for participating in the exchange! For each of the characters/fandoms I've chasen I'll provide some vague prompt ideas, but feel free to come up with your own, of course.
Here is a list of my general likes and dislikes:
LIKES: Fluff, hurt/comfort, humour, action/adventure, friendships, found families, fics about asexuality/asexual characters, AUs (especially library/bookshop!AU, flower shop!AU, werewolf!AU, space!AU), and happy endings (as you see, I'm a vanilla person).
My favourite tropes for ship!fics are: first time, get together, fake relationships becoming real, misunderstandings, banter, meeting the family, and curtain!fics.
I like shipping fics, but I also love a good friendship!fics/gen. I'm okay with all the ratings you choose to write, too.
DISLIKES: Rape/non-con, genderbend, slave!fic, A/B/O, kid!fics, character/ship bashing, incest, underage, abusive relationships presented as romantic, infidelity, harming/death of animals (including hunting etc.), heavy angst without happy ending, graphic torture, unrequited love, de-aging, ageplay, historical AUs, major character death/death!fic, break up!fic, amnesia!fic.
Other details:
DRAGON AGE (Video Games)
Characters Requested: Female Inquisitor, Female Adaar & Josephine Montilyet, Lace Harding
Dragon Age is probably my favourite game series ever. I love all its plotlines, the characters and relationships it established, as well as the whole world building. I'm always pro-mage when it comes to choosing a side in the major conflicts, so I'd prefer no pro-templars parts if you decide to mention this particular conflict in the fic.
I love the Inquisitor and their possible relationships with everyone from the inner circle, but also their possible friendships with all the non-romanceable characters, so feel free to mention minor characters as well.
Among my favourite pairings are: f!Inquisitor/Harding, f!Inquisitor/Josephine, f!Inquisitor/Harding/Josephine, Harding/Josephine, f!Inquisitor/Sera, f!Inquisitor/Flissa, but I'm also open to other femslash pairings.
Prompt Ideas:
- f!Inquisitor likes being single, and has enough of people constantly trying to set her up and the fact that no one believes her when she says she is happy and satisfied with her life,
- f!Inquisitor/Josephine (or other femslash ship), in which f!Inquisitor is asexual and comes out to her girlfriend,
- Harding is badass, and she and her team rescue the Inquisitor and her party from a large group of opponents.
HARRY POTTER
Characters Requested: Hermione Granger & Pansy Parkinson, Lavender Brown & Pansy Parkinson, Pansy Parkinson
Harry Potter is full of amazing minor and secondary characters that don't get enough love and appreciation in the fandom, so I decided to pick Pansy Parkinson as the main character for my requests. It'd be great to see the development of Pansy's friendships and relationships with other female characters (be it from Slytherin, or from any other house; any femslash ship would be gret if you want to include any), and the development of her character and abilities.
When it comes to things I'm not into when it comes to HP: Harry Potter (the character, I mean) being mentioned, canon plotlines after The Goblet of Fire, and canon ships.
Prompt Ideas:
- Hermione/Pansy (or friendship), Pansy becomes a werewolf and Hermione finds out about it by accident,
- Lavender/Pansy, in which they end up paired up during one of the classes and end up working surprisingle well together,
- Pansy often thoughht about what she wanted to do after Hogwarts, but what she ended up doing, while it wasn't even on the list, made her feel quite accompliszeh.
SENSE8
Characters Requested: Amanita Caplan & Nomi Marks
Sense8 is a beautiful, beautiful series that deserved much more than it got. I love it to pieces, and the relationship between all the Sensates is something that is precious to me. Relationship between Amanita and Nomi is another thing I absolutely adore, so it would be great to see Amanita interacting not only with Nomi, but also with other Sensates as well. Just thinking about Amanita and Nomi's relationship makes me happy.
Prompt Ideas:
- Nomi/Amanita, their first date,
- 3 times Amanita saves all the Sensates,
- bookshop!AU, in which Amanita works at the bookshp and Nomi buys the strangest books.
STAR TREK: DISCOVERY
Characters Requested: Sylvia Tilly
Star Trek: Discovery is a great new series and I enjoy a lot of things about it. Tilly is one of those parts that I absolutely love. She's precious, amazing, and should be protected at all costs, which is why I'd love to see a fic focusing on her, her backstory, her interests, and her relationship with other characters.
I love Tilly-Michael interactions and as a pairing and as a friendship, but I'd also love to see Tilly interactions with other characters, for instance with Keyla Detmer, Joann Owosekun, Doctor Pollard, or any other female character.
Prompt Ideas:
- Tilly/Michael, working undercover as a couple,
- Tilly (and possibly some other female character) rescues the Discovery crew,
- Tilly's adventures during her Academy days.
STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES
Characters Requested: Christine Chapel, Nyota Uhura
Chapel and Uhura are my favourite female characters from TOS, so I'm very glad they were both nominated for this round. They're both amazing, capable and smart, and it'd be great to read a fic in which they get to be badass, and saving others, for instance using Chapel's knowledge of medicine, or Uhura's knowledge of languages.
Ship-wise, I love ST femslash in general, so any femslash ship including Uhura or Chapel would be fine with me, just as any friendship between female characters would be great.
Prompt Ideas:
- Chapel becomes a CMO on a ship other than the Enterprise,
- Uhura is the one who establishes a peace treaty between the Federation and a new planet the Enterprise visits,
- Chapel/Uhura, AU in which Chapel is a veterinarian and helps Uhura's pet.
CROSSOVERS
Characters Requested: Kara Danvers (Arrowverse) & Wanda Maximoff (MCU)
I haven't thought about those two meeting before, but as soon as I saw them among the other tags, I decided it would be a great opportunity to request a story about them to see how they would work together. I think it would be great to see them interacting, considering how different their personalities are. They could make a badass team, too! Doesn't matter if it would be a shippy fic, or a friendship, this is an interesting crossover!
Prompt Ideas:
- they meet during one of parties organized by Tony Stark, and end up staying in touch afterwards,
- Kara and Wanda are dating for a while, until one night they find out about the other's superhero abilities,
- blind date.
I hope you'll find this letter helpful, and that you'll enjoy writing the fic. Thanks again for signing up!
