Dear author, please send werepony.
All of the femslash12 matches are matched and assignments are sent! And marathon day is over for another year.
Here is my Dear Author letter, before I forget.
Dear femslash12 author,
As always, I know who you are! No pressure.
I'll start with my requests and move on to more general stuff at the end.
The Good Wife (Alicia/Kalinda):
No matter what happens on the show, I am convinced that Alicia and Kalinda belong together. I am a big fan of Eli and love watching Alicia interact with her kids. Please deal delicately with their other love interests: do get them out of the way, but don't bash.
Warehouse 13 (Myka/Claudia, Claudia/Leena, Jane Lattimer/Mrs. Jinks)
I live in an imaginary world where this show is about Claudia, Steve, and Artie. I would love fic that explores Claudia's relationships with the rest of the Warehouse team, and how one relationship turning romantic/sexual affects all the others. As for Mrs. Lattimer/Mrs. Jinks, well, W13 cast all of my '90s femslash heroes as people's moms. Kate Mulgrew + Laura Innes = crackfic option.
Gymnastics RPF: Gabrielle Douglas/Jordyn Wieber, Gabrielle Douglas/McKayla Maroney, Jordyn Wieber/McKayla Maroney, Gabrielle Douglas/Aliya Mustafina, Aliya Mustafina/Ksenia Afanasieva
I love the contrasting personalities at the top of the sport and how they all interacted at the Olympics and afterward. Sexual curiosity and friendly experimentation is the vibe I see here - pining or Forever Love doesn't really strike me as in character. Athletes are very aware of their bodies, so play with that.
Teen Wolf (TV show): Allison Argent/Lydia Martin
I am protectively OTP-ish about these two. I want them to say to hell with all those angsty boys and go have an adventure of their own. Like, Lydia is the brains, Allison is the muscle, together they fight monsters.
Diablo III: Barbarian/Enchantress, Demon Hunter/Enchantress
For two weeks in late May and early June, I ate, slept, and played Diablo III. In my mind, my female player characters were all sneaking back to Tristram to snuggle with the Enchantress. Try to give the player characters more depth than they have in the game.
Some general notes:
No babies, no little kids, no pregnancy. This is very nearly a bulletproof squick.
If you want to write me some hot porn, that would be great. I am a big fan of NC-17 femslash and don't feel there is enough of it. Of course, if you don't feel comfortable, don't feel pressured. You can get a lot of mileage out of a kiss.
I prefer stories where the love/desire is requited and followed through upon. Angsty longing from afar is not really my bag.
Be kind to male friends and family. In most cases, I like those characters, and man-bashing will really put me out of a story.
I love unusual structures and stories that play with POV and tense.
Even if you don't do an AU, I often like subtle sci-fi or fantasy elements in RPF and realistic fandoms. And little moments of mundane realism in SFF fandoms.
Do not like: high school AUs, zombies, Bruce Springsteen, non-con, rigid gender roles, "five things" stories, faux-clever cameos from other fandoms, Evan Lysacek.
Do like: superhero AUs, unicorns, R.E.M., sex toys, genderplay, road trips, ambiguity, dialogue, Muppets.
But the most important thing is, I'll be incredibly excited about and grateful for whatever you write for me. Thank you so much.
Much love,
Mosca
