merryghoulDear Author/Sailor,
Last year, I just did an Inspector Spacetime fic for the Cookie Jar, but this year I'm actually doing this exchange. I'm excited! Hopefully this letter isn't too brief. I may revise it later on or when I get up after the extra hour ofwriting time, so feel free to bookmark this, mem this, come back in a few days, whatever. I want to make this letter as clear as possible.
First, I'll start off with what I don't want in my fic and some squicks. I don't want the following:
alpha/beta/omega fic
vomitplay
deathfic
character bashing (out of all of these, this would be my #1 pet peeve)
"whump for the sake of whump," where a character is repeatedly hurt and there's no reason for the character to be hurt
crossovers
For this exchange, no genderbending/always a girl/guy.
My favorite genres include AUs, hurt/comfort and/or whump, angst, casefic, fluff and PWP. Except for vomitplay, I'm pretty much happy with any kink you can think of. I'll be happy with whatever you write me, as long as there's nothing on my squick list. Up to NC-17/Mature for ratings is fine with me.
In terms of polyfic, I'm comfortable with a threesome (or, in the case of Burn Notice, moresome) or a vee relationship. I like fic where the characters see themselves as equals in the relationship, as opposed to a jealous love triangle type deal. I also like established relationships, but if you can't write the fic with an established relationship, just write the characters getting together and forming the relationship.
For these fandoms, I'm caught up in all the canons, so you won't spoil me.
Now, onto the specific prompts:
Fandom: Doctor Who
Threesome: Eleventh Doctor/Jack Harkness/River Song
Moresome:
Prompt: "Don't travel alone."
I wrote a threesome Secret Santa fic for this pairing last year (smut), and since then, I've liked the pairing. I feel this particular Doctor, along with River and Jack--their relationship can go in a multitude of ways, from angsty and regretful to fluffy and flirtatious. I'm happy with wherever your muse takes you with this.
This prompt is a quote from "The Angels Take Manhattan." Pretty much, that's the prompt--the Doctor traveling with River and Jack, in a vee relationship or with the two of them, fostering relationships with the two. (But, in the spirit of the fest, it can't end with River and the Doctor as a couple alone.)
Fandom: Leverage
Threesome: Parker/Alec Hardison/Eliot Spencer
Moresome:
Prompt: Surprisingly, this was a vacation without anyone in distress.
I'd like to see a vacation!fic where the three don't have to do a job for once. It can be a staycation, a Canadian shack fic (it doesn't have to be set in a shack in Canada), a working vacation of sorts at the pub, or an actual vacation where the three can escape Sophie and Nate (and anyone they've ever associated themselves with or grifted with). It can also be on of those TV Trop-ish type vacations (they go to Hawaii or a Disney theme park or something, like in a sitcom). The vacation can be good or bad. I just want to see these three actually taking a vacation.
Fandom: Sherlock BBC
Threesome: Irene Adler/Sally Donovan/Molly Hooper
Moresome:
Prompt: You've been a naughty girl.
Despite her flaws, I still think this canon's Irene is one of the more clever characters in this canon. Sally works hard at her job, and yet she's still dismissed by Sherlock, as is Molly. (The difference is Sally is willing to go head to head with Sherlock while Molly refuses.) Yet all of these women are awesome.
Pretty much with this request, since the three of these characters never met in canon, you'll probably have to go cracky and/or AU with this. (Once again, no genderbending and especially for this request, no character bashing, because I like all of these characters.) One character can be in a vee relationship with the others or the three can have a relationship together. I'm happy with whatever way you take this prompt.
Fandom: Burn Notice
Threesome: Sam Axe/Fiona Glenanne/Michael Westen
Moresome: Jesse Porter
Prompt: "There is a place for play and a place for work."
This quote is from "Official Business," when Fiona's first attempt at breaking into a safe is foiled. The quote is used in a sexual, humorous way by the mark, who has been thrown off by Fiona, but I think it can be used for the characters' daily lives. They do work together and have fun together often. I'd like to see Fiona, Michael and Sam working together and then playing together (however you interpret "working" and "playing"). Feel free to include Jesse if you'd like--he's grown on me, and he works well with the other characters in my opinion.
If you're not inspired by this letter or the links to my fic, I do have my Yuletide letter from last year (without any of these fandoms, alas), my rarewomen letter (shh, I'm actually ashamed of it a bit because it sounds demanding, but you can still look at it), this year's Yuletide letter (which includes Burn Notice) and this year's femslash12 letter (for Whoniverse, Burn Notice and Leverage requests, although it's not detailed).
My only other advice is to relax and have fun with this assignment. I'll be happy with whatever you can write for me.
Good luck! ♥
