Night on Fic Mountain Letter
Hello writer!
I'm excited to participate in this exchange! Feel free to ask questions in comments if you wish - I left anon commenting on. As for my fic preferences, my tastes are varied. Well done crackfic is one of my favorite things ever. With respect to smut and romance, the gender of the pairings doesn't matter as much to me as the characters themselves. I really enjoy smut with the right characters, and provided that there is some sort of connection between the characters (romantic love, attraction, or feelings of enmity - it doesn't have to be a connection based on positive emotions). I like fluff that feels more real instead of saccharine. While I love romance in fics, I also enjoy plotty gen. Finally, I love darkfic - horror, gore, or other disturbing content, and don't have many squicks or limits as far as this genre is concerned. Deathfic, dubcon, noncon, incest, cheating, mind control, violence, etc are all okay - but it has to fit the story and the fandom.
You can feel free to use any of my likes (at the bottom) instead of the prompts I've provided, if they strike your interest more. :)
Janelle Monae - Works
Cindi Mayweather
I hadn't listened to any of Janelle's music prior to The Electric Lady, which I became aware after io9.com posted about it's science fiction themes. Upon first listening to it, I was blown away. When I got to track 5 ("Good Morning Midnight", the first DJ Crash Crash interlude), it was clear that Janelle's was doing something different and revolutionary with her music. I downloaded her first two albums and fell in love. The scope of the Metropolis Suites project is incredible. Prompts:
* A Cindi character study, exploring her thoughts about her being a possible Messianic character.
* Cindi uses weaponized music when leading the rebellion
* The story of what happened happened when the bounty hunters came for Cindi (referenced in March of the Wolfmasters from The Chase)
* Cindi visits the club where the End of the World Cyber Freak Festival is being held
The 100 (TV)
Finn Collins, Raven (The 100), Octavia Blake, Clarke Griffin
I have to admit I've only seen the first couple of episodes and am 3 behind at the moment. What I've seen so far I love, but I wish I could be more helpful in terms of prompts. Sorry, writer.
* Pre-series fic about Octavia's life before the floorboards.
* Shippy fic with Clarke, Finn and Raven
* Because I'm not caught up on the show at the time this letter is written, feel free to use one of my noted likes from below as inspiration.
Reign (TV)
King Henry II (Reign) Mary Queen of Scots (Reign) Sebastian (Reign)
* King Henry - a story about King Henry's debauched adventures, exploring how his madness affects the people in his life
* Set after 1x08. During Mary and Bast's first night outside of the castle, they encounter some of the Pagans who live i the woods. Mary inadvertently insults them, and as a consequence, the Pagans invoke an evil spirit to possess her. The only way to exorcise the spirit is through a sex magic ceremony. Bast has deep misgivings about this, because she's his brother's betrothed, because he'd defile her, but he does it because it's the only way to save her life.
Twin Peaks
Audrey Horne
If you wanted to write darkfic, this show would be an excellent opportunity. Audrey Horne is one of my all time favorite television characters: seductive, mischievous, highly intelligent, and ultimately good intentioned.
* According to Wikipedia, Audrey was meant to have a relationship with Dale Cooper in S2 of Twin Peaks, but this was vetoed by Kyle MacLachlan as he thought her character was too young for Dale. It'd like to see this explored in an AU in which Audrey and Agent Cooper strike up a relationship, which is interrupted when something horrible happens (either Dale's worst fears come true and abducted / murdered, or something happens to Dale and Audrey has to rescue him).
* Post-series fic in which Audrey survived the explosion at the bank and comes in contact with Dale/Bob
* A pre-series story with Audrey and Laura. Perhaps Laura tries to seduce Audrey?
* A scene from Audrey's whirlwind romance with John Justice Wheeler.
* The Log Lady has something to say to Audrey
Things I Like: AUs, friendships on the verge of becoming romances, sexual tension, tropes, banter, humour, ladies who are badasses, geeky people, adorable animals (kitties!), world building, backstories, fuck or die, horror and gore, serial killers and psychopaths, superheroes, fairy tales, stories where people randomly turn into animals, strange and magical events in the real world that confound the people around them, aliens, science fiction, tentacles, strange and unusual predicaments, bondage, bdsm.
Things I don't like: Mpreg, watersports, bestiality, overly saccharine fluff, kid fic, AUs where everyone is either a dom or a sub, 24/7 BDSM relationships, Omegaverse, slut shaming.
Ratings: G to NC-17
You can find me on tumblr, Livejournal (locked), and AO3.
Thank you so much, writer. ♥
