Dear Doer of Darkness letter

[snowynight]

Dear Doer of Darkness,

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 three 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: ケイゾク 1: SPEC | Keizoku 2: SPEC | SPEC ~ First Blood
RequestFandomChar1:
RequestDetail1: I like gen or het. 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!


Extended Edition of Request
Spec is a Japanese drama that is Fringe meets Mr. Brain featuring a neuroatypical genius and her stoic partner who together solve supernatural crime. . I love Spec because I love the mix of supernatural and the ordinary, people who have strong sense of loyalty, banter, and mystery. The characters are totally awesome. I like that Toma is an anti-social neuroatypical genius, totally against the stereotype, and I like that Sebumi is the totally stoic badass. I love that it's a great crime drama  with so many plot twist
I would like to see more case stories featuring them, or a character piece featuring them slowly building trust and concern toward each other. A hurt/comfort piece is good too.

Request fandom2: Effluent Engine - N K Jemisin
RequestFandomChar2: .


RequestDetail2: I love this source for having both steam and punk in its steampunk. I love the science, the steam, the revolution, the desperation and the hope of this source. I love the characters for being these characters. So basically I'd like anything with the characters being themselves and the steampunk being the same sort of anti-colonial, sense making, awesome steampunk

Love and battle and blood and steam. Invention and strategy and methane gas. If you aren't familiar with this, it's a short story. Takes less than twenty minutes to read. It still packs a punch. I'd like Eugenie/Jessaline if possible.

Things I love about this story: I love the historical understanding, the little details, the awesome steampunkery, and the setting, as well as the kick ass characters.

If you want more prompts though, what about the continued adventure of Jessican and Eugenie? Or how they build a new life together and explore the boundary of the relationship? Or some back story of Jessican and Eugenie. More exploration of the setting and how it influences the characters is great too.

RequestFandom3: Secret Identities: the Asian American Superhero Anthology
 

RequestFandomChar3: Any

RequestDetail1:
Anything would be great! I'm totally okay with gen, slash, het or femslash. I like story focusing on friendship, or first times, and established relationships. I also like when characters go out for adventure or sit and think by themselves. If you want a prompt, though, it would be awesome if you could write what happens after the stories. For example, how will sampler use her new power? What will Citizen do now that he was unfrozen? How will the Trinity deal with their new found relationship and what fate awaits them? I also love the interconnectedness so characters meeting each other will be good. These are just some suggestions, though; if none of those appeal to you, then just write anything in the universe and I'll be thrilled.Just please focus on the Asian American characters.
 

Extended edition of request:

(Keep in mind that everything in the extended edition is super optional. If it's not helpful, please ignore it!)

Request characters: Any

I love superhero genre because I love bigger than life or just decent people fighting to make the world better, but people like me are often absent from the main stream comics pages or marginalized. So imagine my surprise when I find a superhero comics which celebrates Asian American identity and explore their history and life. I find the characters and their struggle touching and I would like to see more. If you ask for more detailed prompt, I would like to know what happens after Citizen is unfrozen. How does he continue the fight now that he is demonized by his government? How does Sampler make use of her ability? What will the Trinity do with each other? Can they restrain themselves not to kill each other and face the fate awaiting them? I also love that all stories are connected so characters meeting and befriending each other will be good. Maybe James will find a new masked partner. Maybe the scarfed girl will adventure with the Sampler. If you choose to explore a world that super power is widely recognized and accepted it will be great too.

Feel free to go through the mods anytime if you have some kind of question about any of this--but really, I will love whatever you write me. If your choice is between writing a story that is truly awesome and you're really excited about, as opposed to something that's exactly what I want, go with one that you're really excited about-- I will love it regardless, because it's awesome!
