merryghoulHello, author. Thank you for writing for me. :D
Below is a list of likes and squicks, and then ladies I'm interested in seeing fic from. I do want to emphasize that if you're not comfortable with writing the ladies I'm specifically requesting, writing about any of them in the canon is fine with me, as long as you abide by certain ships that I don't want and my squicks.
First, the squicks.
alpha/beta/omega fic
vomitplay
crossovers, especially with larger fandoms, so please no surprise Supernatural/Sherlock BBC/Avengers MCU/Homestuck/any other large fandom crossovers
character bashing (this is my number one pet peeve -- I really hate character bashing)
"whump for the sake of whump" (where the characters are hurt for no logical reason) -- whump and h/c are fine
incest
Other than that, I'll okay with what you write me.
In particular, I'm fine with any relationship you come up with (het, gen, slash, femslash, moresomes). I'm also fine with AUs and genderbending, if it comes to it. (But once again, no crossovers.) Up to NC-17 is fine for the fic rating. And any other genre not in my squick list is fine with me as well.
And now, here are the fandoms I've requested. I've included my journal tags to show you what I've written in those fandoms (except for Elementary).I've written one thing for OUAT, but it's at ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fan_flashworks until the 10th-11th; I'll link it here ASAP.
Burn Notice
(The following has spoilers for season six.)
The thing that I like about Fiona is that she doesn't have a definite backstory (Seriously. If I'm not mistaken, they retconned how her sister Claire was murdered in the same season. Not to mention this year's First Contact/Black Sand Pub retcon [from 6.03], which invalidated information about Michael/Fiona revealed in seasons 2 and 3) and that a lot of her side pursuits away from the team aren't shown (because of the show's budget and possible location restrictions, I know). It's also what frustrates me about her. And yet, I have to remind myself that even as the show has become "edgier," it's never really taken itself seriously.
I want Fiona-centered fic, if at all possible. Fiona hanging out with other female characters (e.g. pre-series fic with Claire, Madeline, Agent Pierce, Ayn, even Natalie from seasons 3-4) is a plus, but not necessary.
It's my headcanon that Fiona is, at the very least, interested in women. What convinced me was that one scene in season two where she's attempting to pick out girlfriends for Michael and he's not interested. Michael then asks if she's picking out girls for herself. And then there was that one scene in season six where she brushes Angela's arm and suggests that she's done a lot of wild things for her cover. If you do go the femslash route, I like Fiona with Pearce, Natalie or Ayn.
In addition to femslash ships, I do ship Michael/Fiona, Jesse/Fiona, Sam/Fiona, Michael/Sam/Fiona, Michael/Jesse/Fiona and Michael/Sam/Jesse/Fiona.
Doctor Who
(The following has spoilers for whatever's aired of season seven thus far.)
Author, to make it easy on you, I've decided to stick with New Who for this request, since there wasn't a specific Who filming period attached to "Doctor Who." I'd like anything centered on either River or Oswin.
For River, I really want a fic where River really is living her life away from the Doctor. It doesn't matter whether she's on an archaeological dig, teaching archaeology or writing/living out a Melody Malone mystery -- I want her not paired with the Doctor, or at least Eleven. I'm also fine if you explore River's bisexuality (which was mentioned on Moffat's now-deleted Twitter but not really on the show). No Amy/River, please.
For Oswin, anything before she was captured by the Daleks would be great. Her relationship with Nina or her mother, how she ended up on the Alaska...anything goes, since I doubt she'll be explored more in the show.
I'm familiar with both New Who and Classic Who (as well as Torchwood), so feel free to add characters from those franchises in the story if you'd like. I even wrote a list of characters I wanted to see for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
dw_femslash's recent femslash exchange, so if you need an expanded list of characters I like from Doctor Who, here it is.
Elementary
Anything with Joan. In particular, I'm interested in Joan's life before she left surgery or her life dealing with Sherlock's quirks. I'm happy with Joan/Carrie femslash, if you go that route. Do not let the fear of Jossing stop you with this request, author.
Leverage
(The following has spoilers for season five.)
I'd like to see Parker and Sophie hanging out together, figuring out each other's quirks. They used to have their moments on the show, but I feel ever since Parker and Hardison got together and with Sophie managing her theater troupe, their moments have been few and far between. They can be in their canonical pairings or they can be together. I don't mind. And if you feel some of their old associates (e.g. Tara, Maggie, etc.) should hang out with them, feel free to add them.
Once Upon a Time
(The following has spoilers for season two.)
Out of all the characters, I'm really intrigued by Regina/the Evil Queen. What I like about Once Upon a Time is that most of the villains aren't presented as mustache-twirling types; they're really complex. Regina never wanted to be like her mother, but she found herself turning into her mother. She wants to be Henry's mother in Storybrooke, but with Emma around, that's a challenge. So, author, anything with Regina in it would be awesome.
In particular, I'd like to see:
more moments between Regina/Daniel before it all went horribly wrong
moments between Cora and Regina -- Regina despises and still reveres her mother at the same time, and I'm drawn to their dynamic
in Storybrooke, attempting to be a good mother to Henry, doing everything she can to please and protect him, but still feeling like she's lost him to Emma
I also ship Regina/Emma, so if you'd like to throw that in, that's great!
If you don't want to write about Regina, all I ask is no Ruby/Belle or any Hook paring. (Ruby and Belle as friends is fine, however.)
Just a reminder that if my requests don't work for you, as long as my fic has one of the female characters from show canon in it, I'll be pleased. Good luck! ♥
