Ask me my Top Five Whatevers. Fannish or otherwise. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a comment. Possibly with pictures. I fail at pictures.
1. Hurt/Comfort. You're shocked, I'm sure. ;) I usually like to write this like I drink my tea - light and sweet. Nothing too heavy. One partner is slightly injured, or sick, or something, leading to cuddles. I also like it when the comforter is dealing with an incredibly stubborn and annoyed partner that needs to be kept in bed. ;)
2. Babyfic and Kidfic. I love domestic fluff, and my favorite characters being parents or expecting a baby always makes me so happy. Favorite pairs for this are Tim/Cissie, Cassie/Kara, Jaime/Kara, Conner/Cassie, and of course, Dick/Roy + Lian.
3. Bad guys/grey characters getting redeemed. I love this stuff. Characters like Jason Todd and Rose Wilson are my catnip. I don't like it when the characters are too far over the line, but when it's a realistic case like Jason, it really works for me.
4. Characters with disabilities - I try not to write this as standard H/C, because it's not about that. I find it fascinating to delve into the heads of the characters and those around them after a life-changing event, and think about how they adapt. I know it's kind of a thorny topic, but I've never gotten any complaints about me failing, and I do the research and try to portray things accurately and sensitively. Obviously, you're familiar with Oracleverse, and I'm trying to suppress this plotbunny I've got for a blind!Cassie verse that's been rattling around my head. I already have too much on my plate, but I'm sure it'll get written. :p
5. I should probably list H/C twice. ;) But for #5, I'll go with...next-gen fic. Different from kidfic, this is about aging up the kids and letting them have their own adventures. Lian/Milagro forever, and I'm also liking Iris West more and more. This is the perfect antidote to crappy canon for me. :)
Heee! Those are all awesome! I like all of those too. :D
I looove redemption stories. And Rose. Jason, I like on occasion--but I kind of prefer him when he's being an insufferable asshole and is unapologetic about it--but is not actually as much of an ass as he pretends to be. Kind of like Sawyer on Lost, or Dean Winchester.
Also, EEEEE COMMENT-FIC!! \O/ YOU ARE AWESOME. /runs off to comment!
