Presents! : Fic or a vid! I am an MSR person generally, or I'll take gen about either Mulder or Scully. I like a sense of humor, not too much sappiness, and as much overintellectualism as possible from Our Heroes. My emotional sympathies lie more with Mulder, but in part because I'm as in love with Scully as he is. I also have a fanboy's love of aliens and colonization and big things that explode, and I like CSM quite a bit. I also have an ongoing universe I'm writing in, the Caseyverse, and I'd be excited to see what someone else would write (or vid!) set in it.
In terms of vids, I can imagine two possible routes. One, more serious. I'd love a shippy "oh no! they shut us down!" vid set to Hey Julie by Fountains of Wayne, or anything set to a song by Janelle Monae or R.E.M. Two, crack: I seriously would love to see a vid set to, say, Umbrella by Rihanna (c'mon, that shit storyboards itself), or anything by Lady Gaga (there is totally a vid waiting to be made in Monster, okay?), or something similarly inappropriate and awesome. (BEYONCE. I'm just saying.)
In terms of fic: I like snark, I like angst, I read a lot (a lot, a lot) of smut. I like happy-ish endings. Fic that works an absurd trope (AMTDI, high school reunion, undercover married, only one hotel room left, etc) but makes it believable is a secret pleasure of mine. I tend to believe there's not enough kinky smut written in this fandom, and that an absurd proportion of what is out there has Mulder topping, which I just don't get in the slightest, so kink with a dominant Scully would make me truly, truly joyous. I'm not a huge casefile person, but I'll gladly read yours. If you want to write holiday fic, I do fall in the Jewish-Mulder camp, and I would be happy to read something that touched on that.
I would rather get CSM’s cigarette butts: Angst is fine, but endings without hope get me down; I'm not saying it has to be all sunshine and roses, but I'd prefer things be getting better by the end. I also really can't read about dead children in any detail--not saying you can't pass off a mention of Emily, but no tiny corpses for Christmas, please. And I'm not a fan of character death.
Timeline: Whenever is totes awesome. I like early stuff, I like later stuff, I even like S8 and S9 in their own ways. I am a 'season five was when they shoulda gotten together' 'shipper, if that tells you anything.
What I can do: I write, and that's about it. I mostly write MSR, with occasional deviations into M/K and gen.
What I absolutely CAN'T do: I have no skills apart from writing. In life, actually.
Are you able to be a back up? Yes.
