holly_poly Letter!
Thank you so much for signing up, and thank you so much for writing or drawing something for me - I hope this letter helps you work out any narrative kinks or issues you might have while writing my fic!
LIKES
These are just some general likes - I definitely know some of the fandoms I've selected don't fit with these themes, so I've tried to be extra specific with my ODAO in those cases!
* Character studies! Tell me how the character got to this point! How they got PAST that point! The first time they did this thing and if they'd ever do that thing again? What are they like when they're older or younger?
* Quests and adventures: especially when said quest helps the characters figure out something about themselves along the way. I love road trips a lot.
* Romance: I'm a romantic fool, so I love all sorts of silly tropey ship-related things, including baby acquisition fic and road trips. Baby and kidfic is also fun.
* Futurefic and pre-canon fic!
* Casefic and team dynamics
* Well written horror.
* More tropes and aus: Accidental baby acquisition, fairy tale aus, huddling for warmth, kid fic, canon divergence aus, college aus, different first meeting aus, fairy tale aus, historical aus, medieval aus, band aus, magical realism aus, comedy of errors, coming of age, coming out, courtship, crack, crimefighting, earn your happy ending, found families, drunk confessions, fables, family, fix-it (where applicable), ghosts, time loops, getting together, holidays, home exchanges, IN SPACE!, language of love, love confessions, loyalty, polyamory, family dynamics (including exploration of sibling and parent-child dynamics), post-canon, pre-canon, outsider povs, reincarnation, rescue missions, group soulbonds (depending on canon), snowed in, soulmates and soulmate identifying marks, stranded, time travel fix-its, trapped in an elevator, true love's kiss, undercover missions, vacations gone awry and zombie apocalypse.
* Smut Tropes: spanking, anal, threesomes, cunnilingus, friends to lovers, double/multiple penetration, toys, strap-ons, loyalty kink, masturbation/mutual masturbation, pwp, wall sex, porn with plot (depending on plot deets).
* If you know more than one of the canons we match on, I'd love to see a crossover between any of these properties!
* Friendship dynamics and people sticking up for one another.
DISLIKES:
I'll still read just about anything but scat, sex between underage partners and nonconsensual sexual activity that's not plot-driven.
Archer
Threesome: Lana/Pam/Archer: The pairing that solves all of my conflicting who-does-Archer-belong-with-feelings. Imagine these three off on a mission forced to pose as swingers, then discover that the poly feelings are real. Maybe they bond over having to take care of/raise AJ together? Maybe they just get into a great sexual relationship and try to take it more seriously, with disastrous but affirming results?
Brisco County Jr.
Threesome: Brisco/Dixie/Bowler; Pete/Aaron/Whip:Brisco, Dixie and Bowler have an extremely strong chemistry - she's the one who can make them get along when they're at their worst. Maybe the guys try to help Dixie put a show on and follow her for once, only to discover that there's a bounty on the head of one of the people sharing the bill? Fluff, shenanigans, ridiculousness, action, adventure and travel - I love them all in this show!
We all know Whip is reckless - what happens when he ends up in Viva's jail? Is Aaron wise enough to keep the twosome on the straight and narrow? Does one of Pete's schemes get them in trouble? Does the rest of the gang approve?
Blades of Glory
Threesome: Chazz/Katie/Jimmy: Rarepair of my heart!! The three of them struggling to maintain a relationship under the glare of the spotlight. Ridiculousness. Everyone goes out and gets matching tattoos to firm up their identity as a wolf pack and one thing leads to another.
Burn Notice
Threesome: Sam/Mike/Fi, Sonya/Mike/Fi: Sam/Mike/Fi is another ship I adore; AUs where Sam joins them in Ireland and missionfic and anything where they're totally in synch with each other.
Sonya I've always felt desserved some redemption; what if she got it?
Evil Dead Trilogy
Threesome: Sheila/Arthur/Ash; Annie/Ash/Sheila: Ahh, pairings of my heart! This is my perpetual poly request, and I'd love to see anything you can think up.
This pairing absolutely have never seen anywhere, and I'd love to see what you might stir up for it. Just try to imagine the power imbalance inherent between Ash and Arthur. How do they go about righting it? Does Sheila work as a soothing force or does she manage to make the rivalry between them stronger? I'd honestly really like absolutely anything with these three; Deadite-related salvation missions, smut, fluff...
As for Annie/Ash/Sheila, both women are extremely smart an extremely tough; how does Ash deal with being two dynamic women like that? Archaeology-related findings and discoveries! Travels and getting-together stuff! Messing with the timestream!
Galavant:
Threesome: Gal/Sid/Isabella; Richard/Madalena/Gareth:: Sid, Isabella and Galavant blink, smile and sing together in harmony - or so the song tells us. What OTHER sorts of things do they do harmoniously? Gal and Isabella rescuing Sid from his place of bondage with Gareth and Madalena? Bespelled romance that turns real? Isabella and Gal train Sid to joust and find themselves in love?
Gareth, Madalena and Richard is rather a trifle bit darker; I'm imagining her making them compete for her affections, or the political gaming that might happen to try to make such a marriage work. Or maybe Gareth and Richard are the only ones who can access her soft side, much to her horror. Maybe they try to become more charitable, or they spend their time pillaging weak countries. The choice is yours!
Les Mis
Threesome/Moresome: Cosette/Eponine/Marius: A troubled, tangled threesome if ever there was. What if Cosette remebered eveything of her past? What if Eponine wanted to make up for it - if only to get to Marius? What if Marius and Cosette, already maried, ended up taking Eponine in as a gesture to protect her from her father? Complicated feelings that don't get glossed over would be lovely.
Parks and Rec
Threesome/Moresomes: Ann/Leslie/Ben, Ann/Chris/Leslie/Ben It's full-on canon that Leslie adores the crap out of Ben and Ann; going poly makes so much sense, and then you add in a sweetheart like Chris and it's perfect. Fluffiness! Campaign trails! Co-parenting shenanigans in a big poly household! Trying and succeeding (or failing) to make really important political changes!
Psych
Threesome: Shawn/Gus/Juliet My so-close-it-might-as-well-be-canon ship! Tell me more about their lives together; Maggie once made a joke that Jules is living in the basement and Shawn and Gus have taken over Juliet's place in San Francisco, but I can so see them just shrugging and adjusting happily to a poly relationship. Trying to work a case all together and dealing with competitiveness in a marriage? Trying some new dish at Gus' insistence? Trying to explain things to the Chief?
Romeo and Juliet
Threesome: Mercutio/Romeo/Juliet: The idea of the three of them together has always intrigued me - we know how scornful Mercutio is of women. Perhaps Juliet might be the exception? The three of them as runaways trying to escape the feud, or perhaps some sort of vampire AU, or perhaps Mercutio marries Juliet in a dynastic gesture to unite their families and as a way that she can see Romeo and things get complex?
