First of all, whoever you are, if you are writing me fic for one of these fandoms, you are AWESOME. I know this for a fact! No matter what you write, I will be incredibly happy to receive it, and if you already have brilliant ideas and need no rambly thoughts from me I trust you to follow your instincts and turn out something amazing. Basically, feel free to ignore as much of the below as you want!
A couple of general comments:
Things I love include (but are not limited to): strong women; ensemble-fic and stories about unlikely teams coming together; ordinary characters who can be unexpectedly hardcore when the need hits and hardcore characters who can be unexpectedly ordinary when real life hits; mundane details interwoven with fantastic or dramatic events; comedy; tragedy; stories that mix the two together. As a sidenote, I also love crossovers like burning, so if you happen to get inspired by an amazing crossover idea, I very much encourage you to go for it!
Things I do not generally love include: character-bashing (especially towards female characters) and stories that are disturbing/violent for the sake of being disturbing/violent (except in some cases where that's part of the canon, but I am not sure it would suit any of the ones I have requested this year.)
( Specific request details. )
Last and most importantly: THANK YOU SO MUCH, and what will make me most happy about any fic is that you have fun with it! :D
