Dear Writer from Parallel_fic
Jun. 26th, 2011 12:56 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Thank you so much for attempting to write a fic for me! I'm sure I will love it anyways, but here are some details about what I like/dislike, in case you like to do your research.
First off, I would rather receive a fic that the author was enthusiastic about than one that fulfilled every detail of my request. These are guidelines meant to help you, not to cage you.
I am open to both plot-driven stories and character pieces. Plot with porn is fine and fun, but I am OK with stories without sex! I generally prefer lighthearted stories, That said, I love good angst - as long as it ends happily. No 'hurt' without 'comfort'. So no pain-filled death stories, pretty please. I love romantic story, but I need realism even in my mush.
I like stories with: amnesia, action/adventure, alternative universes, banter, capture and rescue, competence, crossover, dominance and submission, the edge between civilization and the unknown, formation of friendship, history affecting the present, humour, hurt/comfort, longing, matchmaker, love or friendship expressed in atypical ways, moral ambiguity, opposite attraction, outsider POV, people telling stories, people who have each other 's backs, people who flat out like each other's company, people suffering stoically, power exchange, resolve, secret identity (or lack of it), strong and competent characters, sense memory, time travel, traveling.
In a rare case you have not yet given up on my rambling and want to research me more, I told more about what I like here.
Seriously, If you go the AU route-- or just in general-- please don't worry too much about making everything fit exactly into canon. I am *not* going to be super-picky about what happened when, or which characters were doing what during whatever event.
I don't particularly like: mpreg, soul-bonding or "destiny" in terms of romance, excessive possessiveness and/or jealousy portrayed as healthy or romantic, "we're not gay we just love each other," first person narration, graphic violence, torture, deadfic, heavy illness (e.g. cancer or AIDS), rape/noncon, unrelenting angst, hardcore kink, self-harm, incest or faux-incest, religion bashing, major public embarrassment, and/or female-character-bashing-- including dialogues like "Don't be such a girl," and so on.
And here are the four fandoms I requested, with the characters that I requested, and an Extended Edition of each of my requests! But again, these are just notes-- just, if you're the kind of person who wants to know *more* information about what I might possibly like, here it is-- and I will be thrilled with whatever you choose.
Request fandom1: Heart no Kuni no Alice | Alice in the Country of Hearts
RequestFandomChar1: Alice Liddell
RequestDetail1: Anything would be great! I'm totally okay with gen, slash, het or femslash. I'm open to any pairings between the characters that I listed.I like story focusing on friendship, or first times, romance, established relationships-- stories with no sex, or stories with vanilla or kinky sex-- I like missing scenes and stuff that takes place before, or after canon-- I like when characters sit and think by themselves, and I like stories about relationship between them and any other character. I like stories with hopeful endings-- but really, write anything! Anything is fine! If you want to have prompt though, I would like a story that Alice shows her smart and it's her turn to save the day, or a story that Alice exploring and discovering new secret in Wonderland, or Alice reflect on how she was changed by the experience. Really I just want a story of Alice being awesome.
Extended version of request:
I love Alice's practicality and her humanity contrasted with the emotional brokenness of Wonderland's inhabitants -- the clash between her normal and their normal makes me really happy. Especially with the unique cast of character's there to guide her. From Peter's 'black' side to Nightmare's sickly mysteriousness to Joker's sadistic silver tongue to Pierce's cutenes to Ace's yandere-ness and so on, and so on – all of them! I love all of them! The Role Holders are all so awesome in their own special ways.
I'm fine with Alice / Anyone. But, to narrow it down a bit, I do have a soft spot for Nightmare, March Hare and Ace... And, I'm least fond of Blood. Game-verse would be a bonus, but manga-verse would do just as well.
Request Fandom2: Li Shang Yin --- Works
RequestFandomChar2: Any
RequestDetail2: Anything would be great! I'm totally okay with gen, slash, het or femslash. I'm open to any pairings between the characters that I listed.I like story focusing on friendship, or first times, romance, established relationships-- stories with no sex, or stories with vanilla or kinky sex-- I like missing scenes and stuff that takes place before, or after canon-- I like when characters sit and think by themselves, and I like stories about relationship between them and any other character. I don't mind death story-- but really, write anything! Anything is fine! I really find the world described in Li Shangyin's work fascinating! So I would like to see a work making use of the poetic images. Incorporating the imagery in several poems are fine. I like AU and crack too. Writing for example, a near future cyberpunk romance between a xian and a revolutionary fighter is fine. You can incorporate the life of the poet if you want but it isn't necessary.
Extended version of request:
RequestFandom3: Kieli
RequestFandomChar3: Any
RequestDetail3:
Extended version of request:
Kieli is anime adapted from a series of light novels, detailing an adventure of a girl who can sees ghosts, a corporal ghost and an immortal. I really like the family by choice, the sense of wonder and discovery and I would like to see more.
RequestFandom4: Trese (Comic)
RequestFandomChar4: Alexandra Trese
RequestDetail4:
Anything would be great! I'm totally okay with gen, slash, het or femslash. I'm open to any pairings between the characters that I listed. Normally I'm open to all kind of relationship, but I really like how the three characters together so I would like story focusing on friendship, or family by choice or by birth- I like missing scenes and stuff that takes place before, or after canon-- I like when characters sit and think by themselves, and I like stories about relationship between them and any other character. I like stories with hopeful ending-- but really, write anything! Anything is fine! I I would like more canon-style mystery, more Trese kicking ass, and more mythology.
