Fandom 5k 2019 Letter
Apr. 6th, 2019 06:52 pmDear author,
Thank you so much for offering to create something for me! I’m pretty easy to please, so if nothing in this letter sparks your imagination, or if you already have an idea of what you want to create, please feel free to ignore the below.
Gen tropes I love: Loyalty kink, long (complicated) histories, casual physical intimacy, gen kink, casefic/mysteries, shared secrets, hurt/comfort (that doesn’t slide into whump), travel themes (road trips, stranded somewhere, airport lounges, hotels). Common slash tropes reimagined platonically.
Shippy tropes I love: First times, developing relationships, PWPs, polyamory, friends-to-lovers, kink, kink & relationship negotiation, animal transformation, arranged marriage, trope subversion, mixed-orientation relationships, loyalty kink, iron woobies, stoic pining, travel themes (road trips, stranded somewhere, airport lounges, hotels). Common slash tropes reimagined for femslash and poly ships.
Kinks I love: Non-penetrative sex, masturbation, switching, coming in pants/coming untouched. Orgasm delay/denial/control and edging. Marking, possessiveness, tattoos, collars, special items of jewelry &/or clothing, clothes-sharing. Voyeurism/exhibitionism, semi-public sex. Watersports. Somnophilia. Cross-dressing. Non-sexual kink. Non-romantic kink relationships. In terms of BDSM I like D/s and S/M, blood play, breath play, fire play, gun play, knife play, scarification, wax play, praise kink & service. I can enjoy impact play and bondage but they aren’t my favorites, and I prefer improvised implements to a well-stocked toy chest.
And those categories are just for ease of navigation – feel free to mix from the shippy/gen/kink categories as you like, no matter what you’re writing for me!
Elementary: Sherlock Holmes/Joan Watson
I'm a sucker for Holmeses and Watsons across fandom, but this particular Holmes/Watson pair is my favorite. I love where they are in canon now, how committed they are to each other and their partnership; I love how blurry the line between gen and ship is for them -- they are each other's life partner, whether or not they ever touch romantically/sexually. That said, I very much welcome fic exploring how they would go about touching romantically and sexually! I love D/s with these two, Sherlock delightedly subbing for Joan and just worshipping her in every way. I would also love a good casefic with the romance as a subplot.
DNW: Rape/non-con, aged-down characters, infidelity.
Marvel Cinematic Universe: Pepper Potts/James "Rhodey" Rhodes/Tony Stark
I love this relationship for its long, rich history, the way they've been there for each other through so many massive life-altering changes. I very much prefer it to be a relationship of equals, not just Pepper and Rhodey taking care of Tony; please remember too that they liked him before he became a hero! I'd love some shippy tropey goodness twisted into a threesome configuration -- fake dating, soulbonds, a/b/o, sex pollen, undercover in a kink club, bed sharing, catboys/catgirls, etc. For hurt/comfort, I'd prefer if all three got the chance to be hurt and comforted.
DNW: Rape/non-con (dub-con by an outside force such as sex pollen/AMTDI is welcome), aged-down characters, infidelity.
Person of Interest: Lionel Fusco & Sameen Shaw
I love their odd couple friendship, how much they respect each other and care for each other in understated ways. They've clearly worked to understand each other, and keep each other's vulnerabilities in mind in ways other characters don't. I'd love to see their relationship in the spotlight, either sometime during canon or in the aftermath. I would also love a canon fix-it -- Reese and Root live, somehow, and they put the band back together.
DNW: Explicit or shippy fic -- if going the fix-it route, I don't want the fic to end up a Finch/Reese or Root/Shaw fic.
Stargate Atlantis: Ronon Dex/Teyla Emmagen/Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
I love the SGA team and would love any exploration of how they'd work romantically/sexually -- aliens-made-them-do-it, bonding while stranded on a planet without a stargate, cultural differences lead to a group relationship/sexy times; really any of the classic Stargate tropes would delight me. Feel free to include or handwave away canon love interests; I just want the focus to be on the team.
