Dear Crossovering Writer...
Dear Crossovering Writer,
Hi there, welcome to my weird and obscure little corner of the 'Net, and thank you so much for creating something for me!
If you want to get a general idea of the things I'm into, you can check out my Yuletide letters in this journal, as well as my fic journal
nancefics or my AO3 profile.
In terms of my likes and dislikes, I'm going to pull a couple of paragraphs directly from one of my old Yuletide sign-ups, because I'm a boring old thing who hasn't changed all that much:
*my likes: I read and write first/second/third person, past/present tense, “five things”-style ficlets and drabbles, longer plot-driven fics, episode-themed fic, holiday-themed fic, shippy stuff, gen stuff, slashfic, hetfic – so essentially I want you to create in whatever format best fits your personal style and your characters. If my writer enjoys the process, I’ll enjoy the creation!
I love fics that take one-dimensional canon characters and imbue them with complexities – I’d happily read about the villain with a hidden soft spot, or the good guy with a subtle streak of cruelty, or what really happened behind the scenes of a certain episode/chapter/canon interaction. I tend to be fairly “meh” over the handsome prince but pretty intrigued by that hot guy or girl who’s trying to take over the world/thwart the FBI/impress the oblivious princess – although that poor bland prince just might have unexplored/untapped potential that would make him a lot more interesting, so go ahead and try to convince me! I love angst and unconventional endings, but I also adore humor and parody (make me laugh and I’ll fangirl you for life). I’m a sucker for snappy dialogue and pop-culture references. And I love a good crossover/fusion/AU - hence the Crossovering sign-up! - so feel free to combine anything in any of my fandom requests if you’re so inclined.
I read and write all ratings, from G through NC-17. I’m pretty hard to squick and/or offend, so go ahead and include sex/violence/language as the story demands. If you’re more comfortable writing G or PG fic, that’s totally fine too.
*my dislikes: I’m not a huge fan of non-con, although I can deal with it if it serves as a necessary plot-point. The only things that really hit my squicks are animal abuse – looking at my fandoms you’ve probably figured out that I have no problem with beating on the human characters for the sake of plot – and non-cracky mpreg. (As to the crackier side of mpreg, see above: make me laugh and watch me fangirl you.)
As for prompts, I'm going to be intentionally vague and leave them up to you and your creative process - if you have fun I'm sure I'll love whatever you come up with. Thanks again and I can't wait to see what you do!
ETA: On re-reading this I realize that I never said anything about specific characters or ships in any of my fandoms - I don't really have any noTPs or disliked characters, so I'm going to leave that in your capable hands as well. I have faith that you'll make me like whoever you write about. *G*
