tjs_whatnotDear ChocolateBoxer--
YAY! It's Chocolate Box time again! I am sooo jazzed about this! I'm going to try and keep this as short as I can, because really, for all of these? I just want MORE story. I mean, I'll give you precise prompts if I think of one, but mostly it will just be a little hint to get you in the right direction. ;)
General, my tastes are simple, yet varied enough that there's really no way that you could disappoint me. For example: I am as pumped for angsty and cracktastic, I love canon compliance and AUs.
Tropes and whatnot that I'm a sucker for:
Friendship Relationships:
Character studies
Characters dealing with their shit
Relationships that just barely work, or shouldn't but somehow do.
Found families/chosen families
Journeys (both the physical of travel and also spiritual/mental)
A/Us (both canon divergent, what-ifs and completely taking the characters--though retaining what makes them them obvs--out of the canon and dumping them anywhere else.)
Fusions/crossovers
angst
hurt/comfort
hi-jinks and shenanigans
witty dialogue
epistolary stories or elements
geography or location so rich and real it's another character
Romantic Relationships:
Everything on the gen list still applies, but also:
Pining
feeeeeeelings
coming out
dealing with new feelings
mixed signals
awkwardness
sexual exploration
Things I'm less a fan of:
PWP-- I don't mind sex, or kinks, but I'd also really like some substance and reasoning coming into play. But if you're here for treats, ALL THE PORNZ!!
Incest/chan/rape fantasy
Extreme kinks-- sexual exploration is one thing, watersports/pony play is quite another. Worried you might cross the line, contactredsnake05 she knows where my line is.
sappy, happy, overly fluffy-- unless you're here for treats, then tell me a cute little happy story about bunnies and kitties if that's your thing. :)
character bashing
And I think that's about it. Now, on to the fandoms!
Doctor Who: ALL THE 11 AND RIVER!
If the story includes either 11 or River (or both of them together natch) either in friendship or romance with anyone else in Doctor Who, I'm sooooo there! I'll put particular pairings in the sign up because I have to, but just know, you can not go wrong with anyone hanging out with either of these two. ♥
Sherlock Holmes--ACD: Sherlock/John or Sherlock and John
For me, the books themselve were ALL about the relationship between these two. And for me, it is at once the most romantic of their portrayals and also the one where my Ace-loving heart gets fed on the asexual of Sherlock Holmes in actual, swear-to-goodness canon. For me though, these two things don't contradict each other. It's completely possible to in love with someone and also be completely not interested at all in sex. I'd love that explored.
But, if that's not your thing... tell me another sort of story about these two. Any story.
The Sparrow: ALL THE EMILIO!
I love him so much! He is my favorite. Tell me about him. Tell me about his relationships with other people. Anything you want to tell me, I'm here for it ALL. You could even delve into the sequel--though that might be tricky with all the other people eligible, you know, gone... but if anyone could do it, it's you. Or give me a piece of missing scene... flashbacks... character study... epic poetry about language and assumptions gone horribly wrong. ♥
The West Wing:
I've loved this show since about a minute into the pilot episode. I fell hard and have been a Josh girl since the beginning, only come around to the awesome of Toby now in my old age. ;) And even though I've loved it for forever, I only really got into it as a fandom thing that I could share my love with recently... so I'm ready for ALL THE STORIES! For romance, I'm ready to jump onboard the Donna/Josh, Josh/Amy, C.J./Toby, and Sam/Josh ships or pretty much any combination of everybody in a friendship fic. That being said though, if you could sell me on something like Leo/Jed, Donna/Helen or Sam/Toby, I am HERE for that as well. ♥
MASH: ALL THE HAWKEYE
Hawkeye (along with The Sparrow's Emilio Sandoz) is one of my very favorite characters! I want any story with him you want to tell. I've requested everyhing that includes him that was nominated, but really, just go crazy and write what you want with who you want. A few ideas? I love the idea of post-canon run ins or long distance relationships, I love the "Letter Home" motif they did on that show and would love to read some of that...
Really though? For any of these fandoms? Just have fun, be kind to the characters we love (even if you're hurting/comforting them) and we'll be all good.
