Chocolate Box letter
Hi dear author! I'm sorry to be late posting this, I hope you'll still see it!
First, thanks very much for writing for me! I'm sure I'll love whatever you produce. Any details here are just suggestions, so if you have a different idea, please feel free to write that. I'm open to works of any rating, and I don't have any particular squicks or triggers.
General notes: I love stories where things happen, where characters come out of the story changed in some way, even if it's a subtle change. I especially love the interactions between characters, dialogue, snark, personality clashes, confessions, romance. I love stories that don't provide simplified resolutions to complex situations, where things aren't necessarily all neatly wrapped up at the end - it's okay if everything's not happily ever after, as long as there's some hope for the future. I like fic that challenges traditional gender roles and expectations. I love humour, as highbrow or lowbrow as you like, depending on what suits the story. Please feel free to include other characters from any of these canons in supporting roles, or to make up original characters, whatever works for your story.
While I feel that porn can easily be the meat (heh) of a story, I like it best when it is wrapped in at least a delicate layer of plot, and when I can believe that it's these particular characters having sex. But I really and truly am open to fic of any rating! If you are more of a fade-to-black sort of author, that's fine; if you want to show me character interaction of any sort - friendship, rivalry, adventure, quiet moments together - that's great too. However, if you do feel inspired to go the more porny route, I love m/m, f/f, m/f, threesomes, foursomes, moresomes, poly relationships, bisexuality, kink - and I'm very hard to squick, so don't worry about that. (If you want to read more about my porny likes/dislikes/ideas, you can get an idea by reading my Yuleporn comment, specifically the "General Likes" bit.) Please no non-canon deaths or completely depressing endings, otherwise let your imagination run wild!
Specific fandoms:
Gentlemen of the Road - Amram/Zelikman, Amram & Zelikman
More adventures of the greatest con men and thieves of the 10th century, please! Either pre- or post-canon would be fine. The book really gives the sense that they've had so many adventures and so much history together, and anything that shows a bit more of that would be wonderful. I love the banter and the snark and the obvious affection (even if it's sometimes strained by circumstances) between Amram and Zelikman. If you matched on this as a romantic pairing and want to develop their relationship so that it includes sex, that's great - if you matched on &, they can be platonic life partners and that's also great! Basically either way I'm happy!
Agent Carter - Ana Jarvis/Edwin Jarvis
I just think these two are so cute together! They seem like polar opposites (adventurous, carefree Ana, prim and proper Edwin) but underneath it all, they obviously love each other and work well together. I'd be happy with a story about their meeting and falling in love, which from what we know of it was a very intense and dramatic time, or something about their day-to-day life as a married couple, or the culture shock of moving to the US, or whatever you like!
My only DNW here is please don't make the story focus on pregnancy or infertility issues.
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries - Lin Chung/Phryne Fisher/Jack Robinson
I'd like to see some more of the dynamics between these three - the men competing for Phryne, potentially including jealousy, posturing, possessiveness, with Phryne being her playful self, maybe egging them on, teasing them, or letting them know how silly they're being. I'm open to threesomes, or a love triangle, or a poly relationship of some variety, however you want to take it.
Although Camellia isn't included here, I'd be fine if you want to include her, or leave her out entirely, as you prefer. I'd just prefer not to see her cheated on or sidelined in a negative fashion. If you want to present her relationship with Lin as being platonic, with all parties okay with the arrangement, or have her as an active participant in the group's dynamics, that's fine, or otherwise it could be set prior to her marriage to Lin - any of those are great!
Legend of Korra - Lin Beifong/Tenzin
I'm very curious about what their relationship was like when they were together. Were they passionate, cutesy, competitive, bickering, romantic? Did they pine for each other for a long time before getting together? Who made the first move? Was there any awkwardness or teasing from their parents and/or siblings?
I'd prefer either a story set in the past, or reminiscing about the past if it's set in the present/future. I don't want Tenzin cheating on Pema or for anything bad to happen to his current relationship, but memories (fond or otherwise) of their younger selves are fine!
