Dear Secret Mutant...
I'm participating in the Secret Mutant Gift Exchange this year (!) and this is addressed to my awesome author/artist.
Dear Secret Mutant,
THANK YOU for being so awesome, and signing up to give me art or a story for the holiday season! I love you for offering to create something for a total stranger. I also love you for attempting to please a total stranger, but don't worry too much: I always love what I get in these mystery-gifted holiday exchanges. I'm really easy going and like everything. Especially if it's new and shiny!
If you want more specific information or ideas, well, I love holiday-themed stories. I'm a sucker for 'em. Wintertime holiday stories in particular, but hey, write me an Arbour Day story and I'll love it. I'm also a sucker for bad-boy-Erik-gets-redeemed fics, or stories that beat up on the characters and/or go to dark places but have happy endings. Hooker!fic, kidfic, and stories where the Boys are policemen are also favourite themes, but write or draw/paint/sculpt/etc whatever you like. Please don't feel pressured to fill my prompts, either - these are just some general things I'd like to see.
Here are my Secret Mutant Requests, just in case you want to have them in one single handy-dandy place.
Request 1
Characters/Pairing: Charles/Erik
Setting: AU/AR, or cannon-based
Erik finds out a little more about Charles' unhappy childhood and personal history.
Request 2
Characters/Pairing: Charles/Erik
Setting: AU or AR
Erik is a detective, and Charles is in trouble. Bonus points if set in the 1960s. EXTRA bonus points if Erik's background as a Holocaust survivor can be incorporated into it.
Request 3
Characters/Pairing: Charles/Erik
Setting: AU or AR setting, with any characters/combination of characters. I love all the pairings, so this one is up to you!
I'd love a fic or artwork based on a film noir from the '30s, '40s or '50s. Casablanca comes to mind, or The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity or Out of the Past. If you're not a fan of film noir, or not familiar with the genre, no worries! It's just a suggestion. Anything moody and atmospheric will do.
Request 4 Raven/Hank, or Raven and Hank
Setting: After Days of Future Past
Raven and Hank catch up, and revisit what they could have had.
Okay, that's it! Thank you, again, for being so wonderful and offering to do something for a stranger. You rock!
