Gen Fic Swap Round 1 ~ Dear Author Letter
Jul. 25th, 2014 11:32 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
immolate_the_silenceThanks so much for signing up for this exchange and for writing something for me. I am really not picky and will be happy to see what you'll come up with.
Likes:
-Hurt/comfort, fluff, angst, tragedy and/or horror.
-Complex characters, especially when the writer provides introspection into their thoughts, actions and emotions.
-Imagery over an excessive amount of dialogue.
-Relationships building slowly so I can watch the process of characters becoming friends and/or family.
-Characters growing emotionally.
-AU’s, All!human, reverse!verse, dark fics, domestic/curtain fics, future fics, diversions from canon, sticking to canon.
-Roadtrips
Things I'm perfectly fine with:
-Excessive Angst, Gratuitous amounts of Violence, Character Deaths
-Little plot
Dislikes:
-An excessive amount of porn or porn without plot.
-Abusive or non-con relationships, this includes humiliation, degradation, manipulation and bullying.
-All-dialogue or heavy dialogue.
-Character bashing, crack!fics, humor, genderbending, sci-fi, historical or high school/college AUs.

All ideas that are listed are optional; I only offer them in case you get stuck in what to write.
Supernatural
Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, John Winchester
We didn't get to see much of these three in the show and I really miss it after all these seasons. I would love to see Dean and Sam being brothers, getting on each other's nerves but also being best friends and loving each other all the same. I would prefer for John not to be an abusive father but for him to be just tough but supportive (when he feels he can be), and struggling to be a good father. Hunting or downtime (however brief) is fine with me, and I would just love one or more of the Winchesters to grow emotionally as characters.
Longmire
Vic Moretti, Branch Connally, Cady Longmire
Please have these three amazing people work a case together, or just take a weekend off and act like ridiculously cute, drunk or not, idiots. Obviously, you're gonna have to figure out how Cady gets tangled up in a case and gets stuck with them, but honestly that's half the fun. Have Vic be tough and overprotective or show a weak and vulnerable side to her that shocks both Branch and Cady. Have someone get hurt and the other two go all badass on the person who hurt them. Or write total fluff that blurs the line between friendship and family.
Orphan Black
Cosima Niehaus, Delphine Cormier
So hooked on these two, you could do just about anything and I will be happy. Have them be totally adorable science geeks, have them go on a little getaway/roadtrip so Delphine can get Cosima's mind off of things, let them even have a night in together where they talk and realize how much they mean to each other. Have Delphine be overprotective and Cosima be weak/tired but adorable, have Cosima be reassuring and sweet when Delphine is freaking out over her condition or something else. Seriously, you could do anything.
Penny Dreadful
Ethan Chandler, Vanessa Ives, Sir Malcolm Murray
As much as I would love back story on any and all of these three, I find myself just really wanting them to bond. Maybe they find another vampire lair, a larger one, and investigate it, finding out more about each other than any of them expected. Or maybe they just eat and talk over firelight. What I really want is for them to bond, with no one else, in unexpected ways.
X-Men Movies
Rogue, Jean Grey, Ororo Munroe
I love these three characters, especially in the films, and want them to actually bond for a change. Maybe Professor Xavier sends them to find a mutant, or maybe they're attacked in the school and have to find a way to fight and survive together. I would also love to see Jean and Ororo supporting Rogue in loving herself even despite her tragic power, and really just wanting to be a family.
Hunger Games
Johanna Mason, Finnick Odair
These two really came across for me in the films more so than the books, and I would love to read more on the two of them being best friends and becoming family. You can add in missing scenes from the second film, third book or even post books. I would also love to read how they first met, since their closeness to each other was obvious in the second film and made me want more.
Thank you again for writing something for me, I can't wait to read!
