Howdi! I love this exchange cause its for people who love space narratives. Space narratives are the best. Generally, I'm pretty easy to please and I hope you'll enjoy doing whatever it is you choose to do.
Requested Fandoms: Doctor Who, Star Trek Voyager, Thor
General Likes: I love pretty much everything; I love gen, het, femmeslash, slash, multi, etc. Whatever floats your boat. And any rating is good (PG to the pornyist of porn) I love AU/AR stories, canon-gap fillers, actionadventure, comedy, etc . I love love character study pieces - it doesn't have to have plot, just subtle ruminations of characters. I love female characters socializing together, enjoying their off hours together, having fun. I like when people enjoy their work. I like female characters with power and ones who quest for power. Badass ladies who kick ass and take names. I'm not a huge fan of straight-up fluff, I find it not realistic and a tad boring - but I love a happy ending; I need a happy ending. I love romantic relationships based on friendship and equality, people actually enjoying each other's company and getting to know each other.
Dislikes: selfharm/suicide, noncon, bodily fluid kink, babyfic, anal in het pairings, incest, infidelity, character bashing, breathplay, bdsm, animal and child abuse, fat/body shaming. Please do not put any of these in my story. Thanks :)
BONUS NOTE: If you want to crossover with these fandoms, please do! Jack Harkness is a good match for everyone.
Doctor Who (Jack Harkness, River Song, Martha Jones)
Basically I think Jack and River are two of the greatest characters ever created and are pretty much my reasons for watching the Whoverse lol. They are so badass and enigmatic and complicated. I like them best as platonic epic besties (cause they'd totally be besties) - they'd pal around and talk about their feelings and bond, but also flirt like there's no tomorrow. I love that. But I'm also open to them in a romantic sense, if that's your flavour - cause there's no way Jack would *not* try and seduce her and there's no way River wouldn't try to seduce him right back. I don't think they'd be in love or super romantic, they'd sleep together because they're both fabulous and sexy and why the hell not. Basically I love them getting up to hijinx, burning a path across the galaxy. Maybe they steal the TARDIS or have to save the Doctor or whatever. OR crack, them in some time period. Or have River visit Torchwood Cardiff. oooo I'd love that.
If you don't want to do them together, here's some stuff for them individually; a side adventure they went on, people they meet, the struggles of being who they are (cause shit, between the two of them they have a lot of darkness) If you wanted to do a character study piece I would love you.
Jack: I love how complicated and broken he is; he's this swashbuckling hero but he's also got this darkness in him. Anything that explores that duality would be cool. Also, I ship Jack/Ianto like OTP OF LIFE territory. Like omfg I love Ianto. Give him a space adventure in the Tardis or have Jack show him his favourite spots in the galaxy. Schmoop and angst. We also never got to see Jack meet 11 (which I think is an actual crime against fandom) so you're free to correct that too :) (No Jack/Gwen, but no Gwen bashing either)
River: River. Just River. So epic. So badass. I love when she's devious, making trouble, being her sociopathic self. She reminds me of Carmen Sandiego, so have her steal something.
Martha: I love reading about Martha's life *after* her time with the Doctor; how she got involved with UNIT, her work with Torchwood and anything beyond. How far does she go? What does she do? Martha is pretty persistent and badass and brilliant so there's little she couldn't do. Maybe she becomes president of UNIT or she gets back out there in space or anything. I ship her with her canonical XOs but I'm open to some Martha/Tosh and Martha/Hart loving.
Non nominated characters: I love Gwen Cooper, John Hart, Ianto Jones, Toshiko, Vastra, Jenny, and Rose so feel free to include any of them. Feel free to throw in the Doctor, 8,9 and 11 are my favourites, but I'm cool with all of them. And yaaaa, I *do* love Torchwood more than Who :D
Star Trek Voyager - (Kathryn Janeway, B'elanna, Chakotay)
Janeway/Chakotay is quite literally my OTP of LIFE. My first ship that I've never gotten over; 20 years later, still full of feels. I love time travel, things-that-happen-on-alien-planets-can-stay-on-alien-planets, aliens-encouraged-them-to-do-it, supportive-besties-turned-lovers, post-Endgame. Anything really. I love anything.
If ship fic isn't for you, I LOVE gen fic for this fandom. All genfic, but preferably a focus on female characters and their friendships. I headcanon Janeway and Belanna being actual great friends but like the struggles of that relationship; she's the Captain after all. But how cool with it B'elanna is. Like she wouldn't struggle with the relationship structure. So I love them being awesome together, saving the ship, bonding, being silly, getting drunk. And feel free to throw Seven in there; I ADORE Seven. (No Seven/Chakotay, Seven/Janeway though please. Comfortable with Seven/Kes and Seven/Belanna)
Thor - any
I love this movie and the full MCU, so feel free to include any characters not nominated. I ship Loki/Sif so damn hard it hurts so if you write me Sif/Loki I will love you forever. I love pre-movie shippy goodness but I also LOOOVVVEEE post-Avengers post-Thor2 shippy goodness. The ANGST for these two. How would they survive?
I also love Thor/Jane; they are just so cute and I love how they are so supportive of each other. I love stuff where Thor is spending time on Earth and the funny stuff he'd encounter here; maybe Jane would show him around. Or maybe about how Jane adjusts to being a Princess, what her life would look like, how she balances both things.
I friggen adore the relationship between Thor & Loki (not in a ship way, do not write me a ship story for them). There is so much love and hatred between them. I prefer post-Thor/Avengers stories. When Thor is begging Loki to come home on that cliff, ug my FEELS. My poor feels. How is Thor handling the death of his brother, how he'd slowly figure out that AlFather is actually Loki and the emotions that would result in finding out that out. FEELINGS.
Additionally, I LOVE female-friendship bonding fics. Them having fun, socializing, taking time off, doing fun things, bonding, emotional togetherness, etc.
