Dear Yuletide Letter 2016

Fri, 09 Sep 2016 23:41:15 GMT

Dear Author, thank you in advance for writing me a story. I love all the fandoms and characters I've selected, I'm not the type to request something unless I really, really want it.

My AO3 account is Rekall and my Tumblr account is here but I mainly just reblog pretty gifs.

I've given multiple prompts for each fandom, just pick whichever one you like the best, I have no preference and if you want to ignore it all and just write porn or the two characters cuddling on a couch together that's fine too. I like fics of all ratings so it's up to you if you want to write porny smut, something fluffy and cute or anything in between. Third person, first person, past tense, present tense, it's all good to me. Just write whatever your strengths are.

The Fandoms

Halt and Catch Fire - Joe MacMillan, Ryan Ray

I 100% think Joe was lying when he told Gordon he never had feelings for Ryan because his actions say otherwise. He uses the excuse that Ryan is his friend for why he won't throw Ryan under the bus to save the deal, which Gordon challenges Joe as he thought they were friends too. And I think the feeling is mutual from Ryan. I think things would have ended differently if Joe had agreed they could work together again in the future. To me they seemed like two characters who had feelings for each other but it was never the right time to act upon those feelings.

I'd like a fix-it fic for S3 EP8. I don't want to go into too much specifics details to avoid accidentally spoiling things for someone who isn't that far yet but for anyone has seen it should know what I mean. I'd also be okay with a fic of Joe dealing with his feelings and thoughts over what happened (I know this option goes against some likes and DNW and that's okay).

If you don't want to write that, another thing I wouldn't mind receiving is Joe realizing he has feelings for Ryan but being reluctant to do anything about it since his past relationships have ended so badly. Another idea I have is Ryan starts getting jealous when he arrives to Joe's apartment for work and keeps finding men and women who have spent the night. A crack idea I have is Joe gets a cat who hates everyone but Joe and Ryan is the unlucky bastard who gets to take care of the cat while Joe is away on business.

Berlin Station - Daniel Miller, Hector DeJean

These are two characters that really appeal to me. They worked together in the past, they spend time together outside of work, they both lost people they were using within the first two episodes, Daniel was the one Hector turned too when he wanted to blow of some steam.

There's only two episodes out as I write this but I get the impression that Daniel doesn't entirely trust Hector. I'm okay with something that takes place in their past before Berlin or in present day. It could be a mission fic, bonding together over the job, working out frustrations together, being emotionally dependant on each other or just handing out together on the party boat.

As an alternative to a ship fic, I'm also perfectly okay with a fic that just focused on Daniel. It could be about him bonding with his new cat or spending time with his cousin and her son. Something that shows Daniel being a normal guy instead of a spy because my favourite scenes are the ones with his cat, his family and with Hector on the roof at the end of Episode 2. If you go with this option you don't have to include Hector.

---

North and South - John Thornton

I love Thornton and Margaret together but I'd like a fic that largely focuses on Thornton. I find Thornton interesting because he has a certain image he has to maintain and I find he tries really hard to hide his real self, but at the same time he's also not afraid to be different from the other mill owners. I find though it's really not until the end of the series when he's able to be himself (at least around Margaret).

Possibly something that deals with Thornton's past before the events of the miniseries. It could be something that deals with the death of his father, the early days of the mill, or dealing with his mother and sister during that period of his life. Maybe he had another love before Margaret and it ended badly (can be male or female).

A story that takes place post-series is also find as long as Thornton and Margaret are together, but that doesn't necessarily mean Margaret has to be in the fic. Maybe Margaret is away and Thornton is missing her or the fic can be about him dealing with some mill workers. Or there could an accident leaves Thornton with no memory of Margaret and he struggles to remember who she is.

Mon, 28 Dec 2015 00:25:23 GMT

Dear Chocolatier, thanks for taking the time for checking out my letter and for writing me a fic. I'm super easy to please and like fics of all ratings and genres so as long as you stay away from my DNW list, we're good. Also things like past tense, present tense, third person, and first person doesn't matter to me since I like it all.

My AO3 account is here and my Tumblr is here if you need them for whatever reason.

The Requests:

The Hobbit - All Media Types - Thorin Oakenshield/Thranduil

I'm pretty much okay with anything as long as it doesn't involve Thorin's death. I like all types of fics with them. It could be something from early on before Thranduil was refused the white gems but I'm also perfectly okay with fics that take place after BOTFA if it's an Everyone Lives/No One Dies AU. I'm also okay with modern AUs.

Thoughts: I just love these two together. Because I find that even though they have psychical differences (elf, tall, blond hair vs dwarf, short, dark hair), I find they've very similar. They both are alone and have this isolation to them that even the people closest to them can't always reach. I like to think that they'd be able to find a connection in each other that others wouldn't understand. I'd like something where they're just so much in love with each other.

- - -

Halt and Catch Fire - Joe MacMillan/Original Male Character, Joe MacMillan/Sara Wheeler, Simon Church/Joe MacMillan

Joe/Simon - I really liked Joe/Simon and really didn't think we saw enough of them. I'd like to see something about their time together in Europe. I think Joe really did love Simon a lot and it scared him (maybe it was his first serious relationship with a guy instead of one-night-stands). I just want something where they're happy together since we didn't get to see that in canon and only get the aftermath where it's years later and Simon is dying.

Joe/Sara - I'm interested in seeing more of Joe/Sara. Maybe something from their college days or how they reconnected between the two seasons. I'm also okay with something that takes place after S2 which brings them back together, like something happens that causes Sara to reach out to Joe. Because the way Joe was rubbing at his finger where his wedding ring use to be at the very end of S2 makes me thinks he still loves her but knowing Joe he won't do anything about it unless Sara makes the first move.

Joe/OMC - Joe needs more male love interests, it's one thing that's really missing from the show. What I'm thinking is after Sara and Cameron he's sworn off relationships but then this great guy comes into his life that Joe just can't ignore and get out of his head. While Joe doesn't want to, he ends up falling for the guy.

Thoughts: Joe's my favourite character in the series. I like both sides that we've seen from in the series, ruthless asshole and vulnerable teddy bear who just wants to do the right thing but constantly fails at it.

- - -

Robin Hood (BBC 2006) - Guy of Gisborne/Original Male Character, Guy of Gisborne/Marian of Knighton, Guy of Gisborne/Prince John

Guy/OMC - Guy needs someone to love. Marian chose Robin over him and both Prince John and the Sheriff are more interested in using him. I'd like Guy to meet a nice guy who confuses Guy over his feelings and makes Guy feel so loved it's both scary and the best feeling in the world.

Guy/Marian - I like fics where Marian doesn't die at the end of S2 and fics where there's a canon divergence and Guy chooses Marian over the Sheriff. Maybe Guy could get hurt somehow and Marian has to look after him, which forces Marian to acknowledge her feelings for Guy.

Guy/Prince John - I was so surprised to find that there's not more fic for them. It was clear to me that both the Sheriff and Guy thought Guy was going to be killed when sent to Prince John at the beginning of S3, but he didn't. Plus there's a scene later between Guy and John makes me think the reason why Guy survived was because John knew a pretty face when he saw one. So I'd like something where a confused Guy thinks he's going to die but John decides to fuck him instead (rating wise I'm okay with explicit, fade to black and even implied). It can be dub-con on Guy's part, especially if he's reluctant but John makes him feel so good.

Thoughts: I love Guy. I like how tormented he is at times over following the Sheriff or doing the right thing. Mostly he follows the Sheriff but I love it when he doesn't (like when he covers for Marian or decides to die with her instead when he could save himself).

- - -

Spooks | MI-5 - Lucas North/Original Male Character, Ros Myers & Lucas North, Oleg Darshavin/Lucas North

Lucas/Darshavin - I am 100% convinced these two had something physical going on between them while Lucas was imprisoned. It very much was likely dub-con on Lucas' part who probably would have craved affection from anyone at that point in time. Darshavin meanwhile I think really does love Lucas. I have two ideas I'd like to see. One is what exactly happened between them while Lucas was imprisoned or what happens afterwards when they meet up in S8. If afterwards, I see Darshavin trying to reconnect with Lucas because he still loves him while Lucas being less sure since he's now free but at the same time he finds himself missing Darshavin's touch.

Lucas & Ros - I'd like something with them bonding together. It could be during a mission where they find themselves cut off and on their own (maybe one of them gets hurt and the other has to take care of them) or just some downtime between them. Maybe it takes place shortly after Lucas' returns and Ros doesn't quite trust him yet so she's trying to determine if he's turned or not.

Lucas/OMC - Lucas needs someone to make him happy. His wife left humans remarried while he was in jail, his next girlfriend turned out to be a criminal and S9 never took place so no Maya. I just want him to meet a guy who loves him, is there for him when Lucas gets all banged up and bruised or when he has flashbacks to the torture he experienced in Russia. Maybe they go on nice dates together.

Thoughts: I love seeing Lucas suffer from the trauma he went through, that scene where he can't sleep because the bed is too soft was great, there wasn't enough of it in the show. But I also like it when he gets to be happy because he's suffered a lot.

Beyond Panels Letter

Fri, 16 Jan 2015 00:23:34 GMT

Dear Author:

Thank you for writing a fic for me. I'm sure I'll enjoy whatever we matched on. I love all the fandoms and characters that I've requested. I'm good on any type of rating. Slash, femslash, het and gent is all fine with me. One thing I do require though is a happy ending.

If my prompts get jossed in the upcoming weeks, don't worry about it. Just work with things the best you can.

Here are some other Likes/Dislikes:

Likes:
- happy endings
- fluff
- romance
- drama
- humour
- action/adventure

Dislikes:
- underage sex
- a/b/o
- cheating
- sad endings
- issuefic

--

1. Guardians of the Galaxy - Gamora, Angela

Either femslash or gen is fine. I just really love Gamora and Angela interacting together. It could be a mission that they're on alone together or maybe they just want to have some down time together (like Gamora showing Angela things of the galaxy).

I'm also okay if you just want to do something romantic or smutty between them.

--

2. Thor - Thor

There's two things I would like to see. One is Thor being a badass and taking on some villains who under estimate her.

The other is Thor meeting some of the other superheros (doesn't matter who) and having them react to her. Do they immediately accept her because Thor Odinson did? Or do they want to see how she handles herself in action first?

I don't ship Thor with anyone so I'm mainly looking for a gen fic. I would however be fine with Thor/Thor Odinson.

--

3. The Wolverines - Daken, X-23

I love the whole family thing between Daken and Laura. Laura is one of the few people who Daken actually likes and Laura feels attached to Daken too now since he's the only family she has left.

I just want something gen between them. It could be something before the arm and eye thing where Laura is trying to talk to him about losing his healing factor or it could be from afterwards where Daken has to learn how to adjust or it could even be about what's going through Laura's head as she wondering if Daken is going to live or not.

--

4. Black Widow - Natasha, Bucky

I loved the issue from the current comic where Bucky and Natasha were reunited. Some of Natasha's cryptic words make me thing that she really does remember Bucky but for whatever reason has chosen to keep it to herself.

I'd like to see something where they meet up again. Maybe Natasha is on a mission and comes across Bucky who needs rescuing. I'd be fine with Natasha just rescuing Bucky but it would be great if she admitted she knows their past and they end up back together. Or a fic without the mission would be great too where Natasha ends up confronting Bucky, they work out their issues and they get back together.

Gen is fine too.

--

5. Uncanny Avengers - Rogue, Scarlet Witch

You don't need to use both characters if you don't want too. If you do want to use both I'd like to see a fic where they're working together on a mission or a fic that deals with their relationship (femslash or gen is fine).

If you only want to use Wanda, a fic that deals with the fallout of AXIS would be great with either Wanda angsting over going evil due to the inversion or something that looks at her feelings about Magneto not being her father.

For only Rogue, I'd like to see something that deals with the Wonder Man situation or something where she feels torn between her loyalties to the X-Men and Avengers.

--

6. Angela: Asgard's Assassin - Angela

I would really love something where Angela gets to know Thor or Loki. It could be spending time with them or fighting them. Maybe teaming up for a mission of some sort.

Another idea is Angela spending time with Sera. I want to know more about their relationship. I don't ship them so I'd just want gen (unless they become canon between now and the due date).

Or in general Angela simply beating up people is good.

Dear Yuletide Author

Sun, 28 Sep 2014 20:58:49 GMT

Dear Author, thank you in advance for writing me a story. I love all the fandoms and characters I've selected so don't stress out and try to figure out my favourites.

If you want to snoop around go ahead. Unfortunately you won't find much on my DW or my LJ these days. My AO3 account is here and my main Tumblr is here. If we matched on the Authority, I apologize as it's a general Marvel blog. I do have a secondary Tumblr here but I don't use it as much.

I've given multiple prompts for each fandom, just pick whichever one you like the best. I have no preference. I'd love a fic in any of the fandoms. I like both gen and shippy fics. And fics of all ratings.

Likes:
- happy endings
- action/adventure
- drama
- fluff
- humour

Dislikes:
- underage sex
- a/b/o
- cheating
- sad endings
- issuefic

The Fandoms:

Guardians of the Galaxy (Comics) - Gamora, Angela

1. Something where Gamora and Angela kick ass together would be great. Maybe they're taking down slavers. Or working together as bounty hunters for extra cash. Angela/Gamora or gen is fine here.

2. A shippy fic that's mainly fluffly or romantic. Maybe they're training together and that leads to kisses and/or something more. Or they could be out shopping somewhere (Knowhere?), buying weapons together and it eventually becomes a date.

3. Something where Angela is depressed because she was disowned by the Angels and want nothing to do with Asgard. She feels alone in the universe. Gamora notices that something is wrong with Angela and decides to cheer her up the only way Gamora knows how (beating things up and drinking).

Thoughts: I seriously love these two. Both as friends and as a pairing. I just find they mesh really well together. I love women warriors so I was hooked on both Angela and Gamora right from the beginning. The way they battled each other and then came the snark from Angela after she was captured by the Guardians.

It's hard to say what my favourite moment is between them. I really liked it when they teamed up to take on the slavers. I also loved it when Angela saved Gamora from the Badoon. And of course there was the marriage proposal from Gamora (even if it was a joke).

I simply love the idea of Angela and Gamora having adventures together during their time away from the Guardians. They really are my favourite thing about GotG.

- - -

The Authority - Midnighter, Apollo, Jenny Quantum

1. I would love family fic between them. Especially if it's during the period where Jenny is a teenage. Basically I want Midnighter and Apollo attempting to have family time with Jenny and Jenny is being a typical teenager. It would be cool if during this family time trouble happens since trouble has a way of following the Authority around.

2. The series ended with Jenny still missing and we're never going to find out what happened. I'm of the firm belief that Jenny isn't dead and that she's just gone somewhere. I'd like a fic that deals with what happened to Jenny, her return and is reunited with her parents.

3. For whatever reason Midnighter and Apollo decides that Jenny needs a "normal" life. Unless the world is about to end, that means going to school. Jenny naturally isn't pleased but her fathers are firm. The results are what you'd expect (disastrous) and in the end things go back the way they were.

Thoughts: I admit I originally read the Authority for shallow reasons. I was in a period of seriously lacking some gay superheroes and I had heard about Midnighter and Apollo. I ended up completely falling in love with the series. I ended up consuming the entire thing in a few days and then went back and read Ellis' run on Stormwatch.

I love how Midnighter is such a badass but has a completely different side to him when it comes to Apollo and Jenny. He really loves them a lot. He's an asshole and a dick but he still has a softer side to him.

For Apollo I like it better when he's written not as a complete idiot. Ellis and Brubaker I thought did the best job with him. Some of the other writers went too far into that complete idiot direction. In particular I loved how Apollo acts when Jenny when Brubaker was writing the series.

Jenny I simply love. I think it's hilarious they way she smokes and swears without caring what her parents think. She certainly takes after her parents. One of my favourite parts was when the Authority got back together after she grew up. Everyone is arguing and she just stands up on the table and is like shut the fuck up, we're the fucking Authority and it's time Bendix remembers that.

If you want to, you can also work in the other Authority members because I basically love everyone in the series.

- - -

Secret Avengers - Bobbi Morse

1. My biggest question is what happened to Bobbi at the end of Secret Avengers? She just goes off with Bucky and Daisy but then what? Bucky and Daisy are in the new Winter Soldier series but what happened to Bobbi? Is she still on vacation? Is she trying to live a normal life? Is she on the verge of a breakdown after what AIM put her though? I want to know.

2. Shipping wise, I mainly ship Bobbi with Natasha. So something with the two of them together would be great. Maybe Bobbi is just trying to be alone after what happened to her in Secret Avengers and Natasha ends up tracking her down. Or anything that is cute and fluffy between them which takes place at some point during the series would be great too.

3. Some sort of mission fic that involves just Bobbi or Bobbi and Natasha. I just want Bobbi (or Bobbi and Natasha) kicking ass. It should be some mission where at the end Bobbi needs her memory changed but that whole creepy memory changing side to SHIELD is one thing I liked about the series and am sad that it didn't continue with the current run.

Thoughts: I've missed Bobbi so much since Spencer's run on Secret Avengers ended. She was put through crap in that series and I was so worried they were going to kill her again.

One thing I like about Bobbi is her desire to be a hero. Even if she's "retired" (which seems to be the case at the end of SA) I don't think she'd be away long. Her need to help people is too strong.

If you write post-canon I would love it if Bobbi is still bitter at what SHIELD/Maria Hill did to her (their creepy brain-wiping thing, the fact they left Bobbi behind on AIM island).

It would be great if you could include Natasha in there somewhere since she was under during nominations (but unfortunately over for the review process). It's definitely not a requirement though.

- - -

Inhuman (Comics) - Medusa

In general, I'd love something with Medusa ruling as queen. Some ideas are:

1. The Unspoken escapes from his cell and begins causing problems again. It's up to Medusa to stop him before he takes his revenge upon the Nuhumans. Basically I want something that shows Medusa being the badass she is.

2. Something where Medusa has to struggle with the political issues of running a country. I doubt that all Americans are happy that Attilan is now located right off the coast of NYC.

3. Medusa helping some of the Nuhumans adjust to their powers or to their new life on Attilan. I love Medusa's interactions with some of the Nuhumans. Something that expands upon it would be great.

Thoughts: Medusa's my favourite thing about the Inhuman comics. She's so awesome. I loved how she easily took out Lash who until that point was being built up as such a big threat.

But I also like reading about Medusa being a leader to the Inhumans. She's responsible for holding their entire civilization together. Plus there's the tasks of finding new Inhumans and making sure they are taking care of.

I prefer Medusa to not be paired with anyone who isn't Black Bolt.

- - -

Dark Wolverine (Comics) - Daken

1. How did Daken survive the explosion at the end of the series? His healing factor wasn't working but next time we saw him he was alive and well. Did blowing up kick in his healing abilities? Did someone else resurrect him who Daken then screwed over because that's what he does?

2. I'd love something where Daken and X-23 team up together to take on some villains that are even worst than Daken himself. You can use either an established villain or create your own.

3. A fic that deals with what it was like for Daken when he was younger. It could be from when he was a child being raised by his adoptive parents. Or it could be from when Romulus was training him to be a killer. Or even about work he was doing for Romulus that takes place before he revealed himself to Wolverine.

Thoughts: I love Daken, he's such a bastard. I don't really ship Daken with anyone so I'm mainly looking for gen fic involving him. I'm totally okay though if in the fic Daken uses sex to manipulate or use someone because that's what he does. I would before men in this situation.

If you chose to include X-23, I'd love it if you remember that she's one of the few characters he seems to care about. Even in the recently released Logan's Legacy he's kind to her.

- - -

X-Force (Comics) - Psylocke, Cluster

1. A fic that tells us what happened to Cluster. I know the plan was for the three Fantomexs to merge back together but what if that never happened? The reason I'm suspicious is because the Fantomex that currently appears in X-Force is nothing like the Fantomex that is in Wolverine and the X-Men. What if X-Force's Fantomex is the evil one that was in Uncanny X-Force? If that's the case Cluster should be alive somewhere.

2. Through a series of one-night stands, Psylocke had tried to get over Cluster. When Cluster comes back into her life Psylocke tries ignoring her, the wound is still too fresh on Betsy's heart. Gradually though Psylocke realizes that she still loves Cluster and after a near death experience on Cluster's part, Betsy is ready to admit that

3. If you want to write about the current X-Force series, I'd love a fic where Psylocke learns about the Alexandria incident and why she signed up to help Cable. Cluster's not necessary for this prompt. I'm just really curious as to what led to Psylocke joining. We know why Marrow and Dr. Nemesis did. And more about Fantomex seems like it will be revealed in the story but that's not necessarily true for Psylocke.

Thoughts: I've read every X-Force series since Betsy joined the team so I'm good with whatever version of the series you want to write about. I'm not fond of the Psylocke/Angel pairing so I'd like that to be avoided. I'd prefer if the fic took place after Betsy and Angel broke up.

I also really love Cluster and am disappointed she hasn't been seen since her last appearance in Uncanny X-Force. The later covers for that run of the series all had Cluster on them so I kept waiting and expecting for her to return and officially join the team. I was so let down when that never happened.

Trick or Treat Exchange Letter

Sun, 14 Sep 2014 20:40:28 GMT

Dear Author,

Thank you in advance for writing me a fic. I like fics of all ratings. Whether you want to write a trick or a treat it doesn't matter to me. Write what makes you the most comfortable.

I love all the fandoms I've requested so don't worry of the fandom we matched on.

Trick

I love abandoned places. Some ideas are: amusement park, circus, insane asylum, cruise ship, temple/ancient ruins, tanker ship, space ship, and zoo.

I also like monsters. Seemingly unstoppable forces where sometimes it's better to run than try and kill.

Ghost and hauntings would also make me happy.

Treat

For the treat option you can give me just about anything that's cute and fluffy. I love humour so that's always okay.

Do No Wants

The main thing I don't want to see is a sad ending if you choose the horror option. I want the heroes to escape or kill whatever is tormenting them. Basically no death fics.

The Fandoms

1. Marvel 616 - Angela, Gamora, Bucky Barnes, Natasha Romanova.

Trick - For Angela and/or Gamora I'm thinking of them finding an abandoned world or space ship/station. For Natasha and/or Bucky I'm thinking they get sent to investigate some creepy place.

Treat - For Angela and Gamora I'm find with them sparring together or just talking. For Natasha and/or Bucky a date between them would be nice or just hanging out with some of their other friends.

I ship both Angela/Gamora and Bucky/Natasha but I'm totally okay if you just want to write gen. If you decide to write Bucky/Nat, either before or after the mindwipe is okay with me.

- - -

2. MCU - Natasha Romanoff, Bucky Barnes

Trick - I have a couple of ideas for the trick choice.

1) There's an abandon place which both a brainwashed Bucky and Natasha are trapped in and this cat and mouse game is going on between them as Natasha is trying to escape.

2) A post-canon Bucky has been hiding out in an abandoned place. Natasha tracks him down and the two end up working together because they realize they're not alone.

Treat - I would love Natasha tracking down Bucky and simply helping him. Either helping him regain his memories or just helping him move on with his life. I figure Natasha's one of the view people who could understand what it was like for Bucky.

If you want to write just Natasha or just Bucky that's fine too. You can rework the prompt to make it work.

- - -

3. Monkey Island - Elaine Marley, Guybrush Threepwood, LeChuck

Trick - Something where LeChuck does something to screw with Guybrush. I picture LeChuck creeping through someplace dark in an attempt to scare the shit out of Guybush.

Treat - Something fluffy, funny and romantic between Elaine and Guybrush. Maybe Guybrush is trying to surprise Elaine and it either goes well or is disastrous.

You don't have to use LeChuck for the Treat option. I specifically only selected him for the horror one.

- - -

4. Kingdom Hearts - Axel, Roxas, Xion

Trick - Something where Axel, Roxas and/or Xion have to go on a mission somewhere. It's supposed to be an easy mission but of course things go wrong. They get separated or maybe the villains are harder than expected or the villains are something they've never seen before.

Treat - Something where the three of them hang out and eat ice cream would be great. Something where they can have fun together. Something where they can forget for just a little bit that they don't have a heart.

Just using one or all the characters is fine.

- - -

5. Uncharted - Elena Fisher, Nathan Drake, Victor Sullivan

Trick - Something where they explore some abandon place looking for treasure. Of course they end up encountering some sort of monster and end up having to shoot their way to freedom.

Treat - Some Nate/Elena fluff. I always found them to be one of the cutest couples. It can be their wedding or just relaxing together after some crazy adventure.

It can take place between any game you want. Sully doesn't have to be in the treat option.

- - -

6. X-Men Comics - Psylocke, Storm, X-23, Rogue, Magik

Treat - Maybe they get suck in a haunted house in Murderworld.

Treat - Girls night out. I just want some of the characters hanging out together or just chilling by themselves relaxing during a down time.

It doesn't matter to me what character you use or how many. I love them all.

- - -

7. Guardians of the Galaxy - Mantis, Cosmo

Trick - A murderer is on the loose in Knowhere and it's up to Mantis and Cosmo to stop him. They end up going deep into Knowhere where there's a lot of corridors and not many other people.

Treat - Mantis and Cosmo hanging out together drinking tea and making fun of Quill.

I don't really have anything to add, I just didn't want this fandom to be left out. Umm . . . I love Mantis and Cosmo?

Dear Author,

Thank you in advance for writing me a fic.

I'm really easy to please. I like anything from G rated fics all the way up to NC-17. I love all the fandoms and pairings I selected so don't stress out about trying to figure out my OTP. I'm going to enjoy whatever you decide to write for me.

I like canon based fics as well as AUs. If you want to use any of the prompts under the Original Work section to write an AU fic, go ahead.

The Fandoms

1. Marvel 616

I've fallen hard into comics over the past year. It's where my love of femslashing started from. There were just so many characters that I could ship together.

All of the women I selected are among my favourites so I'd be happy with any of the pairings.

Anegla/Gamora - I love how they're both snarky badasses. One thing that drew me to the pairing was that they started out trying to kill each other and then from there developed a deep friendship.

Natasha/Rogue - If you write them though please have it take place before the recent events of Uncanny Avengers where Rogue becomes untouchable again.

Kitty/Magik - I simply find them cute together and that's what I would like in a fic.

Bobbi/Natasha - The kiss from the Black Widow mini and Natasha calling Bobbi 'darling' in Secret Avengers really made my day. I can there being something between them.

Psylocke/Cluster - I always keep hoping Cluster will return. She was on the covers of that run of Uncanny X-Force right until the end of the series and she never had another appearance. It was so disappointing. Even now I hope that eventually a writer will continue their story.

Psylocke/Storm - I find them to be really close. I would love it if it was revealed they were together all along or a fic where they hooked up.

- - -

2. MCU

I love pairing the women together in the MCU. Even if they've never met in canon.

Gamora, Sif, Natasha, Peggy and Nova Prime are among my favourite characters in all of the MCU so I'd be happy with whatever pairing you decided to write.

Gamora/Sif - One thing that draws me to the pairing is that they're both warriors. I think they would get along really well for that reason.

Natasha/Sif - I think there would be a lot of mutual respect going on between them which would lead to something more. Sif would view Natasha as a warrior.

Peggy/Natasha - I find them to be really similar which is one of the reasons why I ship it. You have the freedom do what you want to make it work.

Nova Prime/OFC - I see them being an established relationship. The OFC should have her own career (doesn't matter what). I would prefer if she wasn't part of Nova Corps since I'm not a big fan of superiors being involved with their underlings.

- - -

3. X-Men (Movies)

From the first time I watched The Wolverine I got the impression that Mariko and Yukio loved each other. I knew it wouldn't happen but one point I really wanted them to start kissing.

I see Mariko relying on Yukio for her physical strength while Yukio needing Mariko for emotional support.

No fics where Yukio sees Mariko's death (unless it's about preventing her death and Mariko is alive at the end). I want something happy and cute between them.

- - -

4. Original Work

In all honesty, if it's an action/adventure story involving lesbians I'm going to love it. I don't favour one prompt over the other. I just like reading about women who are badasses and end up falling in love with each other.

Oh and for the prompts with pirates. The prompts were written with standard fantasy pirates in mind but I would be totally okay if you want to do something crazy and make them sky pirates who ride around on airships.

Not Prime Time Letter

Sat, 26 Apr 2014 01:54:52 GMT

Dear Author: Thank you for writing a fic for me. Don't worry about what we matched on because I love all the fandoms and characters I requested. I like fics of any ratings so don't worry about that either.

You can use the optional details as a guide or you can break away from them. I'm really not picky.

Marvel Comics - Bobbi Morse and Natasha Romanova
I love them both as a couple and as friendship so either one is fine. Certain canon events that stand out in my mind is when Natasha kissed Bobbi and most recently during Secret Avengers when Natasha called Bobbi 'darling'.

Marvel 616 - Carol Danvers
I love Carol so anything with her is good. I've really been loving her current solo as I'm a sucker for space adventures. I'm also good though if you want to base things off her previous solo.

The only thing I really ask if you keep things set during her Captain Marvel period and not Ms Marvel. It's just weird for me to think of her as Ms Marvel since she was already Captain Marvel when I began reading comics.

X-Men - Illyana Rasputin and Kitty Pryde
I find them to be adorably cute together. Like when Illyana went to hug Kitty who accidentally phased on her or Illyana's recent reaction when she returned to their base and found Kitty gone.

Captain America - Bucky Barnes and Natasha Romanoff
My OTP. I would love to see some sort of backstory develop between them in the MCU. It can be similar to their comic backstory or something entirely different (like with the second prompt). If you have an idea you want to run with, go ahead. I basically just want them falling in love and being ripped apart.

Thor - Sif
Sif was the first character that I really loved in the MCU. I want more of her backstory. It's implied in the first movie that Sif had quite a challenge to be the warrior she ends up as. I want to see her go through her struggles.

If you use Thor I'm totally okay with them just being friends or having some sort of romantic relationship.

MCU AU Letter

Sat, 26 Apr 2014 01:45:37 GMT

Dear Author:

Thank you for writing a fic. I love all the pairings I signed up for so no worries on what you matched on or what you want to write. You can use my optional details or if you want to put your own spin on things go ahead. You can combine prompts. You can even take a prompt from one pairing and used it for another. I really am not picky.

You can probably tell from my prompts that I like action/adventure mixed with romance. Write whatever rating you want. If you want to keep things G-rated, that's fine. Also fine is if you want to include a sex scene somewhere. And anything in between is also fine.

One of the things I do like about AU stories is that characters keep certain traits they have in canon. Examples of this would be Bucky being brainwashed, Peggy being some sort of authority figure, Sif being a warrior, etc.

My prompts are pretty clear so I'm going to talk about why I like the pairings. (Well besides the fact I think all of them are hot, badasses).

Bucky/Natasha - I'll admit that I got hooked on them through the comics. I also like the little bit we get in the MCU though. I don't buy that Natasha told Steve everything because that would be extremely awkward ("The Winter Soldier just tried to kill Nick Fury, btw he's my ex"). I like the fact that they've both been on the wrong side of things and are now trying to make a difference (at least I'm assuming that's what Bucky will be doing). I think they simply get each other. Both of them know that sometimes shady things need to be done in the name of good.

Natasha/Sif - I think they would get along well. They would respect each others skills and would likely bond over the fact that they're both warriors who operate in worlds dominated by men. I see them bonding over beer (or mead).

Peggy/Natasha - This pairing interests me since they sort-of have similar roles (women working for SHIELD and being awesome at their jobs) but they're from two different eras (assuming Natasha's comic backstory never makes it into the MCU). I find them to have similar traits. They both have a take-charge, no bullshit attitude but they can also show a softness and you know they're not hardasses all the time. They both also don't have a problem with bending (or breaking) rules to get things done.

Sif/Peggy - I find this pairing to be a sort of a mix of Natasha/Sif and Peggy/Natasha. Peggy can certainly handle things on her own, which as a warrior, Sif would appreciate. But Peggy is usually in a role of authority which I think would surprise Sif (all her orders seem to come from Thor or Odin) but it would also be something she welcomes. I think Sif would respect Peggy and Peggy would appreciate Sif.

Bleach

Sat, 03 Mar 2012 02:25:25 GMT

I decided to re-read Bleach. It really wasn't my intention to re-read the entire thing. I was only going to do the Soul Society arc but then I kind of kept going and when I caught up to the recent chapters I went back and read the pre-Soul Society chapters.

I did cheat a bit.

I skipped a lot of the fights in the Hueco Mundo arc. Especially once the fights with the Shinigami vs Aizen's group started. And I skipped all of Ichigo's training with with Xuction (mostly because it wasn't that long ago that those chapters happened). For the record, the Hueco Mundo arc is just as long and boring while quickly skipping them. I really don't know what Kubo was thinking during that arc.

What struck me the most however is how shippy the series is. I always knew it was a ship-happy series but there's so much more than I remember (or maybe it just seems that way, knowing who all the characters are now). It makes me wonder why the fandom is so damn wanky when it comes to shipping because there's so many options. If you randomly picked two names, you could probably find a scene that suggested subtext between those two characters. What's not to love about that?

Ichigo alone has a habit of picking up followers ~~poor Chad has competition~~. There's Orihime, Ishida, Chad, ~~Don Kanonji,~~ Byakuya, Renji, Kenpachi, Ikkaku, Rukia, Grimmjow, Riruka and others that I've probably forgotten. Ivan is probably going to be newest addition to the Ichigo harem.

Poor Ichigo, he's like the one character who shows an interest in no one. His only love is fighting. Kon gets more action in Ichigo's body than Ichigo (Ichigo really needs to start bathing immediately after Kon uses his body).

It's hard to believe that in five short years this series is going to be over.

Kingdom Hearts 3D

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 05:29:02 GMT

So there's a new trailer out for the next Kingdom Heart game.

You know, despite it being a pairing I don't read a lot of fanfic of (and I don't think I've ever written them) or view fanart, I really, really love Axel/Roxas. I always loved their relationship and how Axel would do anything for Roxas. I firmly believe that Axel was in love with Roxas in canon (although Roxas never knew). It's the only way that explains some of Axel's actions.

That's why I loved this part of the trailer:

Roxas: You promised us, right? That no matter how many times we left, you'd always be there to bring us back.
Axel: Ah, yeah.
Roxas: Got it memorized?

So. Damn. Cute!

I loved Roxas using Axel's catchphrase!

The part I loved most from the trailer though was ( Spoilers )

I'm going to start a marathon of Birth by Sleep and Re:coded this weekend. I still need to get through both games and I might finally get around to The World Ends With You too.

I'm really excited for KH3D since it involves knew content staring Sora and Riku instead of retelling old stuff or a prequel involving new characters. Plus it looks like the story is finally going to start moving towards KHIII. KHII was released 6 years ago so it's going to be at least 7 years between KHII and KHIII. I'm starting to get really impatient.

It's hard to believe a simple 10 minute trailer reviewed my waning love for KH, but it did!

D.N. Angel

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:10:06 GMT

When I started re-reading D.N. Angel I was under the impression that the series had ended. Apparently only Part 1 is finished and Part 2 hasn't even started yet.

Oops!

I think my biggest surprised from the series is how much I ended up liking Risa. For most of the series, I could not understand what Dark saw in her. She was no where near as interesting as Riku and there was little to her character beyond being in love with Dark. But somewhere along the way she started doing more instead of blindly being in love with Dark. Her interaction with Argentine and her actions when she and Daisuke got stuck inside the mirror kind of made me like her more than Riku. I hope she gets more development in Part 2.

I have no idea where the story is headed but I hope it doesn't end with Dark disappearing. If you stop and think about it, his life sucks. I mean he can't exist until his latest host turns 14 and that host has to be male so if only female Niwas are born in that generation he has to wait until the next one (I question why Krad can have female hots but not Dark). And then he can only exist until his current host falls in love and has that love returned. The way things are going, Dark isn't going to even be around a year until he's gone again, waiting for Riku pops out some kids (and even then it has to be boys). Hopefully there's a way for both Dark and Daisuke to co-exist.

Retro Re-read

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 04:55:31 GMT

I finished Saiyuki Reload Blast. Unfortunately it doesn't appear that there are any scanlations after 2010 even though the series is still unfinished and (AFAIK) not licensed. I don't know if the series is on hiatus or what. I figure I'll look for raws at some point but I simply hadn't had the time yet.

Saiyuki Reload was enjoyable but a lot of it felt like filler. It didn't seem like they advanced very far in their journey west. With Reload Blast it looked like things were getting back to the main storyline but then the scans cut off just when things were getting real interesting.

Re-reading Saiyuki however made me decide to re-read other series. I'm calling the process 'Retro Re-read', even though 'retro' is probably going to be the wrong word since these series aren't that old but I figure if a TV channel called Teletoon Retro can air King of the Hill (which I didn't even know had ended until a month ago), I can use the word here.

Right now I'm reading D.N. Angel. I watched the anime ages ago and read some of the manga at the time but I really can't remember much.

Saiyuki re-read

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 06:48:35 GMT

I've been continuing my re-read of Saiyuki. I've breezed through the rest of the original and Saiyuki Gaiden and am currently on Saiyuki Reloaded.

Gaiden's ending was sad. You know it's going to happen though since Konzen, Tenpou and Kenren need to be reincarnated as Sanzo, Hakkai and Gojyo.

Whoever was in charge of their reincarnation needs to be fired since all three ended up with crappy lives until they met as adults. I could understand them ending up with crappy lives if they were being punished but by the end of Gaiden everyone knows that Konzen, Tenpou and Kenren were trying to stop Li Touten who was the real villain.

As for Reloaded I never read much of it before so I'm enjoying it. There's too much Hazel though and not enough Kougaiji. Kougaiji is far more entertaining as an non-evil antagonist who needs to oppose Sanzo's party for his own valid reasons. I am glad that he is no longer brainwashed.

Saiyuki

Sun, 22 Jan 2012 06:08:55 GMT

I haven't read Saiyuki in years. I got fed up with slow updates and trying to keep up with both the main story and the prequel. So I decided to wait a bit until there was more that I could read and the series just eventually slipped through my mind.

I probably still wouldn't have thought about it, but it gets mentioned occasionally on an anon meme I visit, which brought the series to my attention again all these years later. Tonight I actually found time to start reading it since I was bored and wanted something "new" to read.

My opinion hasn't changed all these years later:

1. Sanzo is still a hot bastard. (I have a thing for hot, moody bastards.)

2. Gojyo and Hakkai are still fucking each other.

I'm not caught up yet to where I left off (some early part of Saiyuki Reloaded), so I don't have much to say besides that. Once I get through this first part of the series, I'm jumping to Saiyuki Gaiden since I always found it to be more interesting than the main storyline.

Video Games

Sun, 08 Jan 2012 21:22:50 GMT

I did defeat 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors a few days ago. I keep planning on making a post about it but it'll have to wait until later since I've been distracted by other games lately. It was a really fun game and I ended up getting all the endings (thanks to some cheating).

One of the games I've been playing is Assassin's Creed. It's a lot of fun. I love climbing buildings and have a tendency to get distracted doing just that instead of my missions. I have two small grips about it though.

1) I think it would have been better if the plot was a straight story about being an assassin during the Crusades instead of it really being present day and this company is accessing your ancestor's memories which are hidden inside you. I get whiny every time the game cuts back to the present day.

2) I wish it was one of those games where you can pick the gender of the character you play. Because the only thing more awesome than playing an assassin during the Crusades would be playing as a female assassin during the Crusades.

The other game I've been playing a lot of lately is Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded. And that game is so frustrating! The levels themselves are pretty easy and don't differ much from the other KH games. But the boss fights are so hard since the game play changes with every battle. Sometimes it's like an old school side scrolling game and other times it's like an old school RPG, and it is fun until you realize how hard the bosses are (mostly due to the fact you don't have access to all your special skills).

I'm trying to defeat Hades right now, but I don't see that happening anytime soon since I'm barely able to beat Cerberus. Hopefully the 3DS game reverts back to everything being smash as many buttons as possible.

Happy New Years!

Since I don't like loud noises and large crowds my "party" was basically watching movies, eating pizza and other junk food. We finished the second movie about five minutes before midnight which was when we realized that we forgot to get the New Years hats and noise makers out. There was a mad dash out to the garage to find the box. We returned with a minute to spare.

2011 was a good year for fandom. CLAMP alone finished both xxxHolic and Kobato. They started Gate 7 and brought Gouhou Drug out of hiatus. They also did the anime Blood-C.

I also discovered Tiger & Bunny in 2011 which renewed my love for anime (for the past few years I've just been reading manga).

Some Fanish Goals for 2012:

1. Play the PS3 more. I've always found the PS3 a bit intimidating since it involves more than putting in the game and turning on the power. Plus some of my favourite series from the PS2 (mostly Kingdom Hearts and Persona) have never released games for it. But there are some games I want to try, even though some are the type I don't normally play.

2. Play the PSP more. There are games I own which I haven't played a lot of (KH: Birth By Sleep) and ones I haven't played at all (FF: Dissida). I want to change that.

3. Watch some more anime. There are a couple I want to check out so hopefully I'll get around to it.

999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors

Thu, 29 Dec 2011 06:18:52 GMT

One of the games I received this Christmas was 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors. So far it's probably the game I've been playing the most since it's one of those games where you can turn the sound off and not miss anything (voice acting and awesome music). At first I was a little 'blah' at it since there is so much talking but I thought it got a lot more interesting once you actually get to start investigating the ship you're trapped on.

I already got one of the bad endings. ( Spoilers ) So now I'm playing through again.

I'm finding things a lot better this time. Mainly because I can skip that big conversation period between the time when Junpei meets the other characters and when they start going through doors. That's the biggest part where I wanted to throw down the game and scream LET ME PLAY! during the first time through.

I find the story really interesting. Nine (mostly) strangers getting trapped together on a replica of the Titanic and forced to play a game where they have to work together but at the same time they know not everyone will be able to escape before the ship sinks. It reminds me of a manga called 'Doubt' where Internet friends decided to meet and end up trapped in a building with bar codes that they need to use to escape before they all die.

I'm going to keep playing until I get the good ending. I want to find out who Zero is since I'm pretty sure it's going to turn out that Zero is one of the characters who is playing the game with Junpei (I'm going to guess not Snake or Clover based on the one ending I already got).

Yuletide

Wed, 28 Dec 2011 00:23:49 GMT

I don't normally do recs for Yuletide. I read at a slow pace and I have a tendency to forget things easily so I would probably unintentionally forget a fic.

But I wanted to draw attention to two fics. They were the two fics I received this year and that's why they deserve special attention.

After two days I finally got my LJ imported to DW. I should have done it a while ago, but I was lazy. I also should have continued cross-posting to DW but again, lazy. I'm now being punished for that laziness.

I'm undecided what to do about LJ. I haven't gotten migraines from their new default comment system but I have gotten headaches from it. At the same time however it's still the most popular place for fandoms and most of the places I visit there have since switched to customized comment pages.

I mostly waiting right now to see if LJ fixes their screw up and apologize for it.

Happy New Year

Sat, 01 Jan 2011 06:44:38 GMT

2011 is upon us so it's time for some fandom resolutions.

This year I'm clearing out the negativity. What I mean by that is, this past year my fandoms were either dead or tiny. To fill in time instead of being bored I began lurking around places like sf_d, ontd_f and ontd_p. Big mistake since those places just really ended up draining me.

I'm determined for things to be different this year and I'm going to focus solely on fandom even if that means finding a new fandom that is more active.
