dear femslashex2017 writer letter
Aug. 14th, 2017 11:33 amfirst of all, dear writer, you are a rockstar already. whatever you do, i'll love it. i'll try to write down some general likes and DNWs, which will hopefully result in me not having to repeat myself too much in my specifics.
obviously I like women, so I will not go into that too much
but really, women are so great
DNWs: large age differences. non con, dub con, boys if not really necessary, or if i mention some specific boy i'd like, slut shaming, victim blaming, coming out stories. entirely helpless women, lack of female agency. alpha/omega things. men calling women baby, eww. hopeless endings. traditional two-and-a-half-children-and-a-wife-fence happy endings.
General likes, in no order whatsoever: women, girls, all ages. dancing, clubbing, huntwoman/queen dynamics. self-destructive and destructive behavior, substance abuse, gender/sexuality explorations. fluid sexuality. adultery, always give me adultery. morally dubious girls. power dynamics. queen bee plotlines. queens. social events, social hierarchy. school environments. couples (especially soon-to-be-couples-in-denial) explored from a 3rd person's pov. threesomes and moresomes. if you give me anything about an established/almost established three/moresome with actual relationship negotiations and discussions, i will cry from happiness. fairytale references. snobs. women/girls as gods, esp teen girls as gods. not necessarily literally speaking. domesticity. i am perfectly fine with crossovers with all my requested characters/ships. i would, always, kill for a good amy pond/dawn summers/elena gilbert/allison argent fic. girls in power. millenial romances. aromantic girls. repetitions. parallel structures. circular endings. self-awareness. smoking. girls with guns. physicality. non-spectacular sex. monster girls. blood. girls covered in blood. girls in pantsuits. girls in pantsuits covered in blood. girls in pantsuits smoking. lipstick. dragons. poetic shit. smut. girls writers. girls journalists. girls pirates. mob girls. unhappy wives of any age. socialites. non-traditional families. found families. sad marriages. bad mothers. good love triangles. heists and cons and capers. make up and clothing as armors and weapons. metaphorically or literally. roadtrips. bed sharing. clothes sharing. hooking up in shabby motels. comfortable unspoken acts of intimacy. competence porn. stepsibling or sibling incest AUs.
general inspiration shit:
This is not about love as in caring. This is about property as in ownership.
Another thing is no matter how much you think you love somebody, you'll step back when the pool of their blood edges up too close.
Masha, listen to me. Cosmetics are an extension of the will. Why do you think all men paint themselves when they go to fight? When I paint my eyes to match my soup, it is not because I have nothing better to do than worry over trifles. It says, I belong here, and you will not deny me. When I streak my lips red as foxgloves, I say, Come here, male. I am your mate, and you will not deny me. When I pinch my cheeks and dust them with mother-of-pearl, I say, Death, keep off, I am your enemy, and you will not deny me. I say these things, and the world listens, Masha. Because my magic is as strong as an arm. I am never denied.
You will always fall in love, and it will always be like having your throat cut, just that fast. You will always run away with her. You will always lose her. You will always be a fool. You will always be dead, in a city of ice, snow falling into your ear. You have already done all of this and will do it again.
Well, when you think you love somebody, you love them. That's what love is. Thoughts.
I don’t let on to everyone,
but lean close, and I’ll whisper:
My mother was raped by a holy swan.
You believe that? You can take me out to dinner.
Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off, but it's better if you do.
Specific ideas for specific fandoms/ships:
HP
likes in general:
- slytherin!girls (canon or not), especially slytherin!ginny. i like the idea that, in their own way, on their own terms, slytherin girls are actually very protective of each other and kind to each other, though it's not maybe what a hufflepuff would call kindness - but maybe it is, you know? take this as you will.
- threesomes and moresomes and relationship negotiations
- anything dealing with these girls/women handling their post!war lives
specific pairings:
Luna Lovegood/Pansy Parkinson/Ginny Weasley, Cho Chang/Daphne Greengrass/Ginny Weasley, Pansy Parkinson/Daphne Greengrass/Astoria Greengrass
- all of these scream cruel intentions AU to me
Katie Bell/Angelina Johnson/Alicia Spinnet
- with these three, i'd mostly like to see something fun, maybe quidditch related, but it doesn't have to be, some slice-of-life cozy without-them-noticing-friendship-growing-into-romance
Bellatrix Black Lestrange/Narcissa Black Malfoy/Andromeda Black Tonks
- honestly whatever you want to do with this, i will be so terribly pleased with it. i like my black girls/women dark, that's how they are. if you could include their troubles with the family ~legacy and how they deal with it, that would be the best
Astoria Greengrass/Daphne Greengrass
- sibling incest is the best incest
Gossip Girl
all these women are great. i also like sage, though she is not on any of the list. and the first, fake ivy, so if you want to include them, that's great. also carter baizen. whatever you want to do with carter baizen, i'm always up for him being willing to destroy himself for whatever he thinks is a good reason that week. as long as he remains a supporting character, i'll like him. as part of a threesome/foursome, that's also cool.
Vanessa Abrams/Blair Waldorf
- mostly, i want to see them bffing. an AU of gg where vanessa and blair become BFFs instead of dan and blair would be terrific
Jenny Humphrey/Blair Waldorf
- their power struggle was a thing of beauty, i would love to see something with that. but all sorts of AUs are great, as long as the dynamic between them stays
Vanessa Abrams/Georgina Sparks/Blair Waldorf
- mostly, I just think georgina and blair would compete to see who can corrupt vanessa first/faster/better. this also screams cruel intentions AU to me
Georgina Sparks/Blair Waldorf/Serena van der Woodsen
- i'd like something pre-series perhaps, young, exploring, in the Hamptons
Georgina Sparks/Blair Waldorf
- they would fight gloriously, which i take to mean they could also kiss and fuck gloriously
original work
detective/detective
- it doesn't have to be plot heavy, but i'm interested in two female detectives navigating their lives and having the same career. it can be plot heavy if you want it to.
medusa/blind woman
- this just seems brilliant. do with it what you will.
mobster's daughter/undercover cop
- i like brats and princesses and girls aware of their power, and a mobster's daughter would have some power over another mobster, even if it's an undercover cop.
DO NOT WANT: a ~tragedy filled reveal that this mobster is actually an undercover cop, and i don't want this to turn them into star crossed lovers, i don't want this to be an insurmountable obstacle. i'd much rather they just scheme and plot together, be it to run away from this world of their entirely, be it to become law abiding citizens, be it to remain law-breaking citizens.
starship captain/chief engineer
- i just love girls with different perspectives on things having to work together for the same cause. plus, this screams fun banter and competence porn
warlord princess/sorceress princess
- guh, my babies. different upbringings, different viewpoints, different morals, such a beautiful clash of things. teaching each other about sorcery/fighting would be great. aware that their inheritance really needs to dictate the life they choose, but unsure what to do
witch/female knight
- similar to warlord princess/sorceress princess, different viewpoints. i'd especially like to see them working together to coordinate an attack/a defense/some sort of strategy. fun banter and competence porn are the best, again.
crossovers
dawn/rory/paris
- three writers in love with each other. i mostly see this as a very aromantic threesome, but do with that what you will. i'd love to also see if this could work as an open relationship - them trying out dating/hooking up with other people but still coming back to each other at the end of the day and talking about it. these girls are all about talking, in my mind at least. also, i think of all three as very ambitious, and i love that about them.
dawn/elena
- beautiful girls too good for this world, created so their bodies and blood could serve someone else's purpose, who have to deal with that and continue and carve their own destinies for themselves, spectacular
dawn/ginny
- i see these two, esp ginny, as very brave and stubborn and ambitious and frank and direct, i think this ship would be a beauty to behold
amy/dawn
- again, writer girls, who got destroyed by the world and need to stitch themselves back on their own, or with each other's help
allison/dawn
- my archer girl teaching dawn how to fight with a bow and arrow. dawn teaching her about magic and sumerian. laughing at the silly boys in beacon hills and hanging out with all the other flawless girls in beacon hills
elena/laurel
- laurel teaching elena how to fight. elena teaching laurel how to fight. elena learning about superheroes who fight for good. laurel learning about vampires. i mostly see this as happening in star city. elena a journalist who is investigating who black canary is, who falls in love with laurel and black canary simultaneously. picking out fighting clothing and accessories together, and going shopping. THIS IS ALL SO GOOD Y'ALL
marvel 616
kate bishop/america chavez
- superhero teen girls are the best really.
questionable content
bubbles/faye
- OH MY IS THIS NOT THE CUTEST SHIP TO HAVE EVER. I WANT THEM TO BE SLOW AND CAREFUL WITH EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEY FEAR THE OTHER IS GOING TO BREAK. I WANT IT TO BE AWKWARD AND ALSO NOT, AND I WANT THEM TO BE GENTLE AND KIND. BUT I ALSO WANT WHATEVER YOU WRITE, SO.
this is the end of the letter, i hope it helps in some way, if not, i am sorry.

"When I say girlhood I mean to bleach and bind and braid. I mean that soft gape-mouthed mirror face. I mean the slight, tight discomfort of hair scraped into a ponytail lifting the skin of the forehead. I mean pleasure-pain. I mean knowing how to hurt. I mean the fixed quality of attention bestowed by your best friend as she grips your chin to apply your lipstick, half-sensual half-ritual all hush, like communion. Sad as Sunday night television. I mean following those flow-charts in teen magazines that tell you which movie star you’re going to marry, looking for clues about the unknown quantity of yourself. I mean the sense of waiting for upheaval. I mean having an itchy soul. I mean girls are cruellest to themselves. I mean a fire in a dollhouse."
Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does."

~specific desires for this rare fest pairings~
+ HP; (Luna Lovegood/Ginny Weasley, Ginny Weasley/Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson/Blaise Zabini, Helga Hufflepuff/Rowena Ravenclaw, Bellatrix Black Lestrange/Narcissa Black Malfoy, Augusta Longbottom/Minerva McGonagall, Katie Bell/Angelina Johnson/Alicia Spinnet, Katie Bell/Angelina Johnson/Alicia Spinnet/Ginny Weasley, Godric Gryffindor/Helga Hufflepuff/Rowena Ravenclaw/Salazar Slytherin, Ginny Weasley/Original Female Character(s))
I really like women. Tell me about women, and what being women causes for this women in the wizarding world. If you're not sure what to do and you're into writing HPI'd kill for an Augusta/McGonagall fic. But really, I adore all these women, and you can't go wrong with picking any of these pairings. Specific things I like: slytherin!Ginny, (Slytherin) girls looking out for one another. also threesomes and moresomes are lovely, there's never enough of those anywhere.
+ Doctor Who; (Ninth Doctor/Jack Harkness/Rose Tyler, Ninth Doctor/River Song, Twelfth Doctor/Amy Pond)
Nine/Jack/Rose were just adorable, and I'd like to see more of their dynamic. Nine/River is something I hadn't even considered until I saw it on this exchange and now I AM IN LOVE WITH IT. Twelve/Amy, well, Eleven/Amy ruined me forever, and I'd just like to extend the pain some more, obviously, by requesting 12/Amy.
+ Community; (Annie Edison/Abed Nadir, Britta Perry/Original Female Character, Annie Edison/Original Female Character, Annie Edison/Frankie Dart, Frankie Dart/Original Female Character)
Annie is my favorite Community character some days, and Annie/Abed is my favorite ship most days, that would make me v. happy. I like Annie and Abed playing in their world and creating stories to be able to have a ~relationship. Britta! Britta is lovely, just give me Britta and an OFC falling for each other without realizing it, or just hanging out and being lovely, Britta confiding in someone, and having fun and feeling loved. Annie/OFC! Annie, Annie, lovely Annie, whoever you imagine for Annie, I'll love it. I love Annie's competitiveness and studiousness and her everything. Frankie/OFC! Frankie is delightful, and there's not much fic of her, anything with Frankie will be a delight. AND DID YOU SEE how wonderful her interaction with Annie was?
+ Brooklyn Nine-Nine; (Rosa Diaz/Amy Santiago, Rosa Diaz/Gina Linetti, Amy Santiago/Original Female Character(s), Rosa Diaz/Amy Santiago/Gina Linetti, Gina Linetti/Amy Santiago)
All of these ladies are so lovely, and so different, and so supportive of each other. Give me that, in any way/shape/form.
+ Selfie; (Eliza Dooley/Henry Higgs)
ANYTHING, PLEASE. MY BABY SHOW THAT GOT CANCELLED AND THE LOVE SHIP IN IT.

+ Arrow; (Nyssa al Ghul/Sara Lance, Nyssa al Ghul/Laurel Lance, Laurel Lance/Sara Lance, Helena Bertinelli/Laurel Lance)
all these women are kickass and I love it, and give me whatever you want with that &hearts:

Nine/Jack/Rose were just adorable, and I'd like to see more of their dynamic. Nine/River is something I hadn't even considered until I saw it on this exchange and now I AM IN LOVE WITH IT. Twelve/Amy, well, Eleven/Amy ruined me forever, and I'd just like to extend the pain some more, obviously, by requesting 12/Amy.
+ Community; (Annie Edison/Abed Nadir, Britta Perry/Original Female Character, Annie Edison/Original Female Character, Annie Edison/Frankie Dart, Frankie Dart/Original Female Character)
Annie is my favorite Community character some days, and Annie/Abed is my favorite ship most days, that would make me v. happy. I like Annie and Abed playing in their world and creating stories to be able to have a ~relationship. Britta! Britta is lovely, just give me Britta and an OFC falling for each other without realizing it, or just hanging out and being lovely, Britta confiding in someone, and having fun and feeling loved. Annie/OFC! Annie, Annie, lovely Annie, whoever you imagine for Annie, I'll love it. I love Annie's competitiveness and studiousness and her everything. Frankie/OFC! Frankie is delightful, and there's not much fic of her, anything with Frankie will be a delight. AND DID YOU SEE how wonderful her interaction with Annie was?
+ Brooklyn Nine-Nine; (Rosa Diaz/Amy Santiago, Rosa Diaz/Gina Linetti, Amy Santiago/Original Female Character(s), Rosa Diaz/Amy Santiago/Gina Linetti, Gina Linetti/Amy Santiago)
All of these ladies are so lovely, and so different, and so supportive of each other. Give me that, in any way/shape/form.
+ Selfie; (Eliza Dooley/Henry Higgs)
ANYTHING, PLEASE. MY BABY SHOW THAT GOT CANCELLED AND THE LOVE SHIP IN IT.


+ Arrow; (Nyssa al Ghul/Sara Lance, Nyssa al Ghul/Laurel Lance, Laurel Lance/Sara Lance, Helena Bertinelli/Laurel Lance)
all these women are kickass and I love it, and give me whatever you want with that &hearts:

a low key summer exchange - wild card
Jul. 17th, 2014 08:43 pmI'm incredibly late with this and I'm sorry, but my dear author, here it is anyway, so you can read it if you want to, and maybe choose something to write :)
(hp, the 100, vm, the hour, reign)
so without further ado, my wildcard wishes:
Happy Endings; look I know no one watches this anymore, but this show was AMAZING, and if you want to write me something about any of these wonderful people, I'd love it. Also I'm putting Happy Endings here so everyone can decide to watch this, as they should. (I love Max to death, also Jane, and also everyone else.)
Questionable Content; this is a magical web comic and everyone should read it. it's such a wonderful slice-of-life darling. But if by any chance you've read it/parts of it and feel inclined to write me something, I will love you forever. Consider yourself warned. Hannelore is my favorite of all my favorites, but I adore everyone else as well.
Teen Wolf; a Scott/Lydia/Stiles/Allison something would thrill me to no end. Also Allison/Lydia, my lovely girls. Kira/Malia. Malia/Stiles. Allison/Isaac/Scott, Allison/Scott, Allison/Isaac. All my babies deserve so much love than they're getting on the show.
Gossip Girl; Blair/anyone. (I prefer Jenny. Dan. Carter. Jack Bass. Georgina.)
Girls. Shoshanna, Marnie. Anything with them.
♥

Dear Summertime fic exchange writer
May. 6th, 2014 08:31 amplaceholder.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Gossip Girl is such a fabulous show, and I'm so excited that people still want to write it and read it and enjoy it. Rest assured I'll love whatever you choose to write, because all of these characters are my babies and I love them and there's never enough Gossip Girl fic.
I'll copy over the general likes/dislikes from my other recent dear author letters, and I'll specify things for the requests that I didn't remember to edit on time (those left blank, without descriptions on my sing up). And obviously, as always, especially since I'm terribly late, you can just disregard everything.
So:
general likes/dislikes in fic:
+ Women. Independent women. Queens and their loyal huntsmen/women. Gen. Relationships. F/F and F/M especially, but M/M too. Polyamory as well. Love in all shapes and forms. Power disparity. Happy endings and not so happy endings and repetitions, I love repetitions. Contrasting use of language and structure, witty dialogue. Interesting structures. A lack of grand, be-all-end-all revelations. Adultery. Hurt/comfort and smoking and substance use and abuse and destructive and self-destructive behavior. Guilt. Self-awareness and people being performative and aware of clichés. Clichés turned upside down and clichés played straight. Character studies. Gender role exploration. Guns. Women with guns. Fluff. Poetic sentences. Intentional vagueness. Words. Fairytale AUs/references. Physicality. Sex. Exploration of sexuality. Non spectacular sex. Touching. Hands. Blood. Plot, occasionally. Doom, gloom and personal growth, always.
And since I wrote a sort-of-maybe-detailed-and-a-bit-over-the-top request description for dan/blair and jenny/blair and nate/jenny/blair on the sign-up itself on a03, all that's left is (drumroll):
+ serena/carter:
Anything, really. I just love these two so much. An attempt at marriage, affair fic, roadtrip fic, anything would make me happy. This is such a beautiful a little-codependent, a little mutually-self-destructive, with-some-love-in-it relationship, it will thrill me to see it get written any possible way.
+ blair, georgina:
the queen-bitches of the UES (or the world, most likely). Any kind of interaction with these two would be lovely. (Slash is more than okay as well.) A weird kind of threesome with Dan and both of them trying to outdo the other in the amount of influence they have over him would be brilliant. A businessy sort of fic, whether with them two as competitors or reluctant allies, also amazing. A threesome with Jack, I'd take that as well (and then cry and laugh and want to marry you, probably, so beware).
+ dan/blair/serena/nate:
oh, the OT4 of rainbow and sunshine and childhood issues and parent issues and self-esteem issues and also just so much love for one another, it would be so lovely. anything, really, if you want to write it. all of it will make me happy.

Dear Not Prime Time Writer
May. 3rd, 2014 10:36 pmDear Prime Time Writer, I have no idea who you are, but I'll now wave to you and tell you I like you already and I think you're fantastic for writing things for me and/or other people and for yourself. Now, I'll also tell you what you already know, that everything I write here is pretty much just a guideline, seeing as I (or anyone else) couldn't force you to write anything other than what you wanted to, but I'll still share with you some thoughts and feelings, more in the hope of providing inspiration if you're lacking some than pushing you in a specific direction. I'll love any story as long as you love it, I promise.
Now, let's see if I can help/inspire you with your writing.
( Request 1: Gossip Girl )
( Request 2: Community )
( Request 3: Battlestar Galactica (2003) )
( Request 4: Gilmore Girls )
( Request 5: The Newsroom (US TV) )
( Request 6: Portal (Video Game) )
Now, let's see if I can help/inspire you with your writing.
