Femslash Exchange 2020 - Dear Creator
Well hello there! I am thrilled that you signed up to write for one of my tiny (or now obscure) fandoms.
Let's go ahead and get my DNW list out of the way: character death (only the ones listed), non-con, het for the requested characters, D/s, a/b/o, xeno, high school/ college/ coffee shop AUs (or uber fic), kid fic, pregnancy, parent death scenes.
These are just a few of my many likes: humor, angst, banter, dark themes, happy endings, tropes (fake relationship, trapped together, friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, sharing a bed), hurt/comfort, flawed characters, pining or conflicted feelings about making a relationship a romantic relationship, younger/less experienced women making the first move.
Everything is optional and if you have an existing idea, go ahead and run with it. :)
In alphabetical order:
Alien: Resurrection
What’s next for these two? Are they on the run (Earth? Space?) or living the quiet life? Do they stick with Johner and Vriess or get separated?
I love Ripley and Call’s dynamic. Ripley starts out embracing chaos and not giving a shit, then this tiny woman turns out to be a noble, self-hating auton and Ripley goes into full-on protector mode. I live for it.
I’m totally down for a day in the life, epic battle/adventure, quiet introspection, and anything between. I just adore these characters and I’m sure I’ll love whichever direction you choose.
Terminator (Movies)
Sarah Connor is my girl. All the ladies are great though. I love two stubborn characters getting together. I see these two being a bit aggressive and/or fast-moving, but who knows? Maybe one of them is shy or reluctant. I don’t see them hating each other (please, no slapping during arguments if they argue).
Keeping their relationship quiet so Dani doesn’t find out is good. Or Dani walking in while they’re kissing and whatever happens after is good too (do they have to talk it out or ignore that it happened? Is Dani supportive?). I’m totally down for strong friendships in the group and a lack of jealousy. Really anything works for me: PTSD stuff, heart-to-heart conversations, fade to black, not fade to black, on the run, rest and recuperation...
Van Helsing
Sara is a great character. She makes wrong decisions, rash decisions, but atones for mistakes. Her declaring that she was a virgin was like the show wrote its own fanfic. I imagine Sara is gray asexual or demisexual. Maybe you disagree and that’s cool too. Jolene is totally ride-or-die for Sara and I love it.
Mortal peril is good (fighting vamps, maybe getting really good at it, the two of them against the world), a reprieve from all the terrible things that have happened is also good, or an appearance by other characters is welcome (Axel? Julius? Scarlet? [I’m ignoring the season 3 finale because wtf no]).
Xena: Warrior Princess
With this show, my favorite episodes are the ones that hurt but have a happier follow-up ep. So if it suits you, feel free to make it hurt but with a happy/hopeful ending.
I like slice of life stuff, fighting baddies, meddling gods, Xena being vulnerable, Gabrielle post-season 4 (also very much here for an AU gladiator Gabrielle), banter, etc. Xena and Gabrielle together after the finale - however you see fit to make it happen. I love a reunion. I love complicated feelings (joy+anger+relief?). I’m also down for a pre-relationship sex pollen/gods-made-them-do-it situation and the fallout after.
Not a huge fan of always a top!Xena or virginal "Take me, Xena" Gabrielle. I love Gabrielle with agency (not just tagging along). Alt/Classic is my genre of choice, but if you want to throw Xena and Gabs into a “When Fates Collide" situation, I'm all for it.
Thanks again, dear author. I can't wait to see how it all turns out.
