carriemacDear Writer,
I'm very excited about what you end up writing for me, and I'd like to thank you in advance. Thank you. Seriously. It takes a lot of time and care and bravery to do a fic exchange (what if you're matched with an A-hole? what if you hate their prompts?), so I appreciate even the fact that you're here reading this.
My general dislikes--detailed rape or torture, pregnancy fic, animal abuse, and a/b/o.
My likes--I'm easy to please. Femslash, casefic, gen, het...please feel free to follow your muse when writing for me.
Arrow
Even though Arrow is about Oliver and his superhero journey, it's the women in Oliver's life who are infinitely more interesting (at least to me!). If you want to write femslash for this, that's fine. Any combination of women would work--Nyssa/Sara, Thea/Sin, Sin/Sara, Sara/Thea...I'm not that picky. I'm also happy with gen and character exploration.
What has Nyssa's life been like as the daughter of Ra's al Ghul? How did she and Sara initially meet? How did Sara and Sin meet? What kind of life was Sin living when Sara found her? Does Sin know that Sara was there when her father died?
Thea has been through so much. I'd love to see some of the events from the series from her POV. I mean, her home has been broken into a couple times, her father died, her stepfather left, her brother came back to life, Sara came back to life, her boyfriend has some weird super powers, her mother is a mass murderer, the guy she had a crush on (Tommy) died...so much tragedy in her life, and yet she keeps on. And for the most part, she stays a strong, positive person. I also wouldn't mind "The Adventures of Thea and Sin." I love those two together platonically and romantically. While Roy and Oliver are off doing their superhero thing, maybe Thea and Sin (or even Thea, Sin and Sara) are out there fighting crime (or just kicking ass) themselves.
Shado--my wishes for this character are less defined. We've gotten hints about her past, her ability to fight, her desire to be a doctor, but all in all, we don't know that much about her. Her story has been so entwined with Oliver's and her father's that it's not as clear (for me anyway) who Shado is on her own. So maybe that's what I'd like to see--something that gives an indication of who Shado is outside those relationships. What was her life like before the island? What happened to her while she was captured?
Sara is probably my favorite because she has been in the inferno and come out reforged--stronger, smarter, warier (and wearier). Anything that explores that will make me happy. What happened to her on the ship before she encountered Oliver again. Because that cold, hard Sara was not the flighty girl who set sail with Oliver originally. How did she meet up with the League and Nyssa? What was her life like with the League?
Person of Interest
I chose "any character" for Person of Interest because I love them all and would be happy with any story that explores these strong, smart women. For PoI, I prefer gen and casefic more than femslash or romance, but I won't be too upset if femslash or romance is what you prefer to write (especially if the femslash is Root/Shaw *cough*).
Any combination of these characters would make me happy. A Carter/Root team-up? Awkwardly awesome. Or maybe the Machine and Carter--does the Machine have a certain task that only Carter can do?
Zoe and Shaw? Fantastic, especially if it involves Zoe trying to "My Fair Lady" Shaw because of an undercover situation/case in which the expectations for a woman (particularly one as attractive as Shaw) are very feminine. Bonus points if the real Shaw comes through at the most inopportune time.
The relationship between Root and the Machine is amazing and crazy and scary. How does it work? The Machine apparently has Root going all around the world on errands, and has her gathering certain people for...what? What does the Machine plan to do with people like Jason Greenfield and Daniel Casey?
Zoe...what is her back story? How did she build her business? I wouldn't mind a story focused on her life and adventures apart from Reese and Finch and the Machine.
Please let your imagination run wild with PoI, if that's what we matched on. This show is amazing, with great female characters, and there's just not enough fic about any of them. I'd be happy with just about anything that doesn't treat these characters as add-ons for Reese and Finch.
Push
I apologize for making this request so brief. I chose "any" for Push, and just about anything you write will make me happy. I don't care for Cassie/Nick, especially if she's not aged up. In fact, I'd prefer the story not focus on any of the characters and their relationship with Nick. Your story could take place post-film, immediately afterward or in the far future. What happens to Cassie's mom? Does she continue trying to bust her out? What happens to Kira when that plane lands? How did Emily Hu get where she did? What is her life like?
Or just ignore everything I've said (minus the Cassie/Nick part :)) and write the fic of your heart for this.
Lost Girl
The last season of Lost Girl has almost killed my love for the show, to be honest. The only redeeming things to come out of the past season were Tamsin and the Tamsin/Kenzi friendship. (Kenzi started the show awesome and has remained awesome, regardless of what a mess the past season was.)
I just want these two being cute and funny and having adventures, especially if they're doing those things together. And I really, really don't care to hear about anything related to last season--no mention of Rainer or the Una Mens or the Pyrippus. Hale is still alive, and Kenzi never sacrificed herself. Basically a reset of everything except Tamsin's rebirth and friendship with Kenzi.
Or you can explore their pasts. What was Kenzi's life like on the street? What was her life like while Bo was missing/on the train? How did Tamsin meet Trick?
OUaT
Can Mulan and Aurora live happily ever after, please? Whatever the plot of your story, I prefer these two together, either as friends or lovers. I'm sorry for not being any more specific than that, but these characters haven't really been featured that much in a long time, so I'm pretty happy with whatever you choose to do with them. Just...no angst, if possible, unless the angst gets resolved and they find happiness at the end.
For Tink, I'm interested in what her life was like in Neverland before the Charmings and co landed there. What was she doing all that time? What happens to her when the curse sends everyone back to the Enchanted Forest?
