Dear rarewomen letter!
Dear rarewomen author,
Hi! Thank you so much for signing up for this exchange and offering to make something! I can't wait to see what you come up with - I'm sure I'll adore it :)
Here's a little further explanation on the requests that I made! Feel free to write from this, or to not - whatever strikes your fancy :) I've tried to include some more specific prompts where I could, in case you'd prefer something specific - but please, if that doesn't interest you, write what does.
The only hard limit I have is against dubcon and noncon. I have some general likes and dislikes towards the bottom of this letter, but dubcon/noncon is something that I generally can't read at all, so please avoid it :) Thanks!
Request 1: Homestuck
Characters: Redglare, Latula Pyrope, Alpha Rose Lalonde, Grandma (Homestuck), The Dolorosa
Let me preface this by saying that I'm not asking for all of these ladies to be in the same story! That would be quite a feat indeed :) It's just that the exchange only lets you sign up for each fandom once, so I had to stick everything into one. :) These are in no particular order, so whichever strikes your fancy is the one I want to read most!
I love Pyropes! Any story with either Redglare or Latula - or both, if you feel creative! - would be much appreciated. I love AUs and canon-based stories equally, so whatever you come up with will be great! I'd love a look into legislacerator Redglare's early days, or her trying some cases in the Cruellest Bar. If you prefer Latula, show me her learning how to skateboard, or show me how she wooed Mituna!
I love the Alpha ladies. Any stories involving either or both of them would be amazing! Things relating to their kids, or things relating to the fight, or conversations that they may have had - anything would be great! Give me Rose facing off against Guy Fieri, or thinking about the kid she knows she's going to have in the future - or Grandma Jade fighting the Condesce at every turn while trying to keep tiny Jake safe and happy.
I like the Dolorosa's story as given, but I'd love to know more! Anything about her time with the Sufferer would be amazing - her views on why she took him out of the caves, or watching him grow up, or even things from the end of his life. I want to know her thoughts and feelings and anything about her. I love her character!
Please no dubcon/noncon.
Request 2: DCU
Characters: Stephanie Brown, Cassandra Cain
Batgirls! Anything with either or both of these ladies would be amazing. If you want to include some Oracle Babs I wouldn't complain at all, but I'd rather the story focus on one of these two ladies.
Stephanie is one of my all-time favorite characters in anything, ever, so I'd love to see her doing pretty much anything. If you want to write something canon with her as Spoiler, Robin, Batgirl, or just Steph, that's great! If you want to do futurefic, awesome! Or pre-canon! Or AU - I think you probably get it :)
I'm just getting into Cass, and so far I love her. I like her motivations and her drive to learn, and I love how people underestimate her and she completely sets them right about it. Anything Cass would be great - again, canon, pre-canon, future, or AU.
A team-up with them would be awesome too - go team Batgirl :) I'd love to read something about Batgirl and Black Bat teaming up to save some Bat-boys, because goodness knows they're sometimes awful at saving themselves. (Or, if you happen to be reading the reboot, Spoiler and Black Bat turning up in Gotham to set things to rights would be amazing!)
Please no dubcon/noncon.
Request 3: Marvel (Comics)
Character: Kate Bishop
Anything Kate. Anything, really. :) I've just started reading things with Kate in them (the recent Hawkeye, and I'm starting Young Avengers, too) and Kate is really a standout to me. 'd love to read more about her! I don't really have a specific prompt for Kate, sorry, but I will love anything you write with her :)
Please no dubcon/noncon. (I realise it's part of her backstory, so mentioning it would be okay, but please don't detail it.)
In general, I like… quite a lot of things! Fluff, angst, schmoop, humor, AU, canon-oriented things, it’s all good in my book. I enjoy pretty much ALL of the tropes, so if you’re struck with inspiration for suddenly-acquired-a-wriggler Latula fic, or somehow-magically-telepathic Stephanie, I’ll adore it. I’m fine with explicit material (as a focus, or as just a part of a larger story) except in cases of dub-con or non-con. I’m not a fan of D/s play or BDSM, because they often deal with power play and lead into issues of consent, but other than that, I’m pretty much up for anything if you’re feeling like creating something kinky!
Finally, please have fun! Don’t worry about sticking to the very letter of one of my requests if that’s not what you’re feeling inspired to do. As long as it has some resemblance to what I asked for, I will adore it, I guarantee you that.
I hope that you get a gift that’s as amazing as the one you’re making for me!
