Your Daily RW Update!
is what this is turning into, anyway. :)
Sorry for the late responses to emails today -- I've been knocked out with the stomach flu (gimmie a break, TPTB!) all day, but ready for action now. At least, mildly seasoned internet action.
A few open requests for your perusal...
*** AN EMERGENCY RE-PINCH ***
Fandoms are Doctor Who '05, 15th Century RPF, Henry IV, and A Song of Ice and Fire
Request 1 by La Reine Noire (lareinenoire)
Doctor Who (2005)
Reinette
Clara Oswin Oswald
Madame Vastra
Liz Ten
The Girl in the Fireplace is still one of my favourite episodes of Who, hands-down--I love its melding of history and timey-wimeyness--so pretty much anything about Reinette would make me absurdly happy. I also want to know more about Clara Oswin Oswald (in fact, I was rather disappointed not to have a Victorian Companion), so tell me about her! She's both a governess and a barmaid--how did that come to pass? Madame Vastra and Liz Ten are both great and I'd be thrilled to read about them too. :)

Request 2 by La Reine Noire (lareinenoire)
15th Century CE RPF
Any Character
The fifteenth century has fascinated me for years, and one of the main reasons for that fascination is that it is full of amazing, brilliant women who may not have been at the forefront of events, but were damn well still involved. Write me anything. Seriously. If you want to transplant all of them to the 1920s, do it. If you want to give me a single-character study set in canon-period, also great. If I had to pick favourites, Lucrezia Borgia, Cecily Neville, and Elizabeth Woodville would probably be the ones, but I do mean it when I say that a story about any of these women would make my day.

Request 3 by La Reine Noire (lareinenoire)
Henry VI - Shakespeare
Any Character
Basically what I said about the fifteenth century, except with more Shakespeare. ;) Feel free to bring in any additional source material you want or use elements from performances or film versions (i.e. if you want to give me backstory for the McKellen Richard III, I would be all over that). But, seriously, anything about the women in these plays would make me happy.

Request 4 by La Reine Noire (lareinenoire)
A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin
Arianne Martell
Sarella Sand
Melisandre of Asshai
Myrcella Baratheon
Cersei Lannister
DORNISH LADIES FTW. ...ahem. I am an inveterate fangirl of all things Tyrell and Martell (also counting Myrcella here), so if you'd rather go with Highgarden (even though none of the Tyrells are listed), that is also okay. Also, the one Melisandre chapter in the fifth book has made me want to know ever so much more about her, so backstory for her would be fantastic if you'd rather go in that direction. I've included Cersei as well because I think her actions are no worse than those of the men around her, but she's been unnecessarily demonized and there needs to be more fic about her anyway. Also, Cersei meeting Dornish ladies? WIN.

And a few beta requests:
1) someone familiar with Young Justice for a 3k story.
2) 1,500 word Burn Notice fic, Looking for readability, spelling/grammar, and familiarity with cigarettes. Author says they want a beta reader who "is, or used to be, a smoker" Canon knowledge not necessary.
3) 3k Star Trek - Next Generation with some violence, requesting "anything from SpaG to canon-specific. English isn't my first language."
and 4) "I'm looking for a (hopefully canon-familiar) beta for a 1.5k fic in the fandom X-Factor (Marvel Comics)"
Email me, aphrodite.mine@gmail.com, with what you'd like to help with. For beta offers, include the number I've assigned here. Also include your AO3 name! Thank you!
