May. 28th, 2018 03:08 pmDear Author
Hello, thank you for writing for me. I hope you find this letter helpful. I'm pretty easy to please and it's always nice to read stories someone was passionate about writing so if you have an idea your dying to write with these fandoms/characters go for it. That being said I know I at least really like having prompts to kick start my brain so if you are like me I have some ideas that I'd be interested in seeing and hopefully you'd be interested in writing.
Some generalities about my likes and dislikes
Dislikes:
I would prefer no crossovers or non-canon aus. To specify-things like House of M or Noir-verse are fine-original fantasy setting or Hogwarts are not.
I am not a big fan of PWP in general, but I do enjoy sex in a story with other things going on as well.
Likes:
close friendships, friends to lovers, found family, identity porn, the setting/genre/styling of noir, case-fic, action/adventure stories, "I Will Find You", messy and complicated relationships where everyone is trying their best but that doesn't necessarily mean it's working (for all variety of relationship-familial/romantic/friendly), character studies.
I would be open to unusual formats and art.
some last bits of business
For all my requests you do not need to include every character.
I am happy to receive ship or gen fic for everything. For the most part I am happy to ship anyone with anyone and any preferences will be noted in the fandom specific sections.
I read the majority of my comic books on Marvel Unlimited so I am about 6-7 issues behind at any given time. I don't particularly care if you include spoilers but if your story is heavily influenced by a more recent issue I'll need a little more set up then you might normally include to understand what's going on.
the fandom specific part
Champions
any
I really enjoy the dynamics between the characters in this book. I like the way Kamala, Sam, and Miles have grown together and always have each others back and how that has expanded into this ever-widening circle of friendship. And I like the way Viv seems to be some what unsure of her place in it sometimes (but that she does have that place and even in the issues where she seems to be pulling away someone is always there to pull her back in).
As I mentioned in my sign-up gen-fic and ship-fic are both okay. I don't really have any preferences on who you ship with who it's all good to me.
prompts
1-Someone is lost in space/abducted by aliens/other space trouble and it's up to Sam and the rest of the Champions to rescue them.
2-Sam and Miles are roommates now. How's that going?
3-Secret War AU-I really liked Inhumans: Attilan Rising and would like to know more about Kamala in that (and maybe if any of the rest of them are involved in the Voice Unheard).
4- Gender and sexuality are really weird and confusing to figure out when you're an android, it might be even more confusing when you're not.
Fantastic Four
Johnny Storm, Sue Storm, Ben Grimm, Victor Von Doom
They're a family, and they love each other even when they hate each other, and I love that about them. As I mentioned in my sign-up I'm currently interested in the pre-powers days but that's not my only interest. I happy to explore the modern family as well.
prompts
1-Sue and Johnny in those early days after their dad "dies" adjusting to this new normal and all the messy feelings that come with having to grow up to soon.
2-There's been a lot said about Victor and Reed's history and certainly Reed was the sun that Victor and Ben both orbited in college but less has been explored about Victor and Ben's relationship to each other back then beyond vaguely hostile. I'd like to see some of that.
3- Noir-verse. They deserve a Noir verse story.
4- Holiday celebrations with the whole extended family - you can decided how far that goes-is it just the kids and alicia, is it uncle doom and his son, is it going all the way out to the inhumans. (the holiday doesn't matter you can do a religious holiday like Christmas or Hanukkah or secular one like New Years Eve or a birthday, you don't even have to stick to the yuletide season you can set this on the Fourth of July if you choose)
X-factor
Julio Richter, Shatterstar, Theresa Cassidy, Monet St. Croix
So I really love the noir genre/style with a particular fondness for the hard-boiled detective sub-genre. So I'd really like it if you leaned into that aspect of X-factor. I found the (ex)mutant town a really interesting if under-used back-drop as well, so some world building there would be very appreciated.
This was one of the fandoms I have specific DNW for which is don't completely erase the canon relationships. They can be broken up or the story can be set before they ever get together, but don't pretend they didn't happen at all. I am okay receiving non-canon relationships, though. So for example if you want to write Theresa/Monet post the end of X-factor that is a-okay (and sounds kind of fun) but you can't write it as though Monet had never dated Guido (you don't even have to mention Guido specifically you just can't say she never dated anyone on the team before).
One last thing, unlike most of the other comics I am reading the Shatterstar series as it comes out so you can set your story during that period if you would like.
prompts
1-Case-fic - a good old fashioned mystery.
2-the non-X-man mutant community just after M-day.
Young Justice
any
So like with Champions what I like about this series is the growing up and the friends that help you do that aspects. Unlike with Champions for many of the characters in Young Justice their hero-families and real-families are the same which casts a slightly different light on their relationship to being a hero and their search for independence. In general I ship Tim/Kon but I don't otp them so feel free to write either one in a different ship.
prompts
1- Tell me about their legacies and how they feel about them and how those feeling differ between different characters.
2- Lots of the nominated characters join and leave during the YJ run, what is their life like after they leave.
3- The core 4 and how everything keeps coming back to them no matter where life takes them they always comeback to each other.
New Warriors
any
These characters are sort of like follow up of the YJ/Champions story, they started out as teenagers trying to figure themselves and their place in the world out and now they've pretty much grown up but they still have each other and are still together helping each other as they deal with being an adult. I also really really love the post-redemption arc theme the older New Warriors had in the Yost run. Vance, Robbie, and Kaine all killed people (or at least feel responsible for people's death in Robbie's case) and they've all been through the redemption arc and done their time/sacrificed their life in a final redemptive action and now they have to figure out where do you go now and that their all in a different phase of that journey with Vance mostly having his shit together and Kaine still feeling like he hasn't been redeemed at all and Robbie somewhere between.
prompts
1-The dropped plots when New Warriors got cancelled - Faira finds Namorita, Mictlan rises, etc.
2- Road Trip Adventure time with Vance and Robbie
3- During the Shatterstar series there is brief mention of the Noir-verse's New Warriors and now I'm curious. What do you think that looks like?
Austin/Murry-O'Keefe books
Adam Eddington
I read all these books over and over growing up and I love them so much. I've been fascinated by Adam who walks in both worlds - the fantastic sci-fi of the Murry-O'Keefes and the quiet humanity of the Austins. I also love the ocean and marine sciences so getting into his research would be fun for me too. I like Vicky and I like her and Adam's relationship so feel free to include her any of the prompts, I just was equally happy to read a story about Adam on his own.
I know this seems odd but I request that you don't set your fic during The Ring of Endless Light.
prompts
1-Send Adam on a science fiction adventure in the ocean
2-More about Adam and the Murry-O'Keefe clan - maybe he goes back to be Calvin's research assistant again during grad school.
3-Future fic with him and Vicky and how that relationship develops.
