Dear Creative Chocolatier--
Jan. 6th, 2019 12:10 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
tjs_whatnotSOOOOOO SORRY! I was NOT expecting assignments to go out so fast!
Here is my real letter:
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, they know where the 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!
Mary Poppins (Movies) ×
Relationships*
×Bert/Mary Poppins
×Mary Poppins & Jack
×Mary Poppins & Bert & Jack
×Bert & Jack
PROMPTS: So, in Mary Poppins Returns, we meet Jack who knows Mary because he was Bert's apprentice(?) when he was young. I took this to mean that Mary had more shenanigans in London with Bert (and Jack) than we'd witnessed. I'd love to see any of that.
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
Relationships*
×Enfys Nest & Han Solo
×Qi'ra/Han Solo
×Lando Calrissian/Han Solo
×Lando Calrissian/L3-37
×L3-37/Qi'ra
PROMPTS: I loved this movie. It took me a long time to realize that I'm not so much a Star Wars fan per se, as I am a Han Solo fan. The problem with all the other movies were they didn't have enough Han. This movie had just the right amount. ;) Though, it made me hungry for more. Either during the movies time frame or before/after. I also really loved L3-37 and everything she was and all the possibilities her existence presented.
MASH (TV)
Relationships*
×Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan/Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce
×Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan & Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce
×Sidney Freedman & Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce
×Radar O'Reilly & Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce
×Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce & Charles Emerson Winchester III
×"Trapper" John McIntyre & Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce
PROMPTS: I love Hawkeye SOOOOO much! I want anything with him and the people in his life. I'd love to have a post canon story. Like, does he see any of them after he gets home from the war? Does he lose it and does Sidney come and visit? Does Radar visit? Maybe Hot Lips can't get him out of her mind after they're back, or vice versa? Do he and Charles work in the same hospital? (a canon inconsistency that was never addressed was that both he and Charles had been working at Boston General Hospital? It's like once Charles got there, he was the only person who'd ever even been to Boston, but Hawkeye was working there when he was drafted.) Or maybe Trapper meets him in Seoul after he's gone home because he, like me, really hates that he didn't get to say goodbye... and he wants another wild weekend with his BFF.
The Newsroom
Relationships*
×Don Keefer/Sloan Sabbith
×Will McAvoy & Sloan Sabbith
×Sloan Sabbith & Neal Sampat
×Sloan Sabbith & Mackenzie McHale & Maggie Jordan
×Sloan Sabbith & Charlie Skinner
×Don Keefer & Sloan Sabbith
×Will McAvoy & Charlie Skinner
PROMPTS: I just love Sloan so much. I love her interactions with everybody on this list and would love to see more of their shenanigans. There's such a family feeling in all these relationships. She's Will's little sister, Neal's older sister, Charlie is her dad and Don... well yeah, Don is something else all together. ;)
I also really love Will and Charlie's loyalty and devotion to each other. I'd love to see some pre-canon shenanigans with them.
The X-Files
Relationships*
×Fox Mulder/Dana Scully
PROMPT: Okay, don't be mad, but here's where I confess that I've only started watching and loving this show. I'm only 3 seasons in. So, maybe take this opportunity to re-visit their beginnings? And just because it's Mudler/Scully, don't worry if you need/want to go Mulder & Scully instead, I don't need romance, just some of that awesome trust and devotion to each other that was there in the beginning. You could also have some crossover shenanigans with this one if that's something you enjoy. For me, I know I'm ready to get into something on a "fandom" leel when I start writing crossovers in my head as I watch. So, watching Mulder and Scully travel the country and investigate the paranormal and I wonder if they ever run into Dean and Sammy. Mulder was in the BAU before he was in the X-Files, did he ever work with Gideon, Hotch or Rossi? What about Fringe, how crazy would Mulder and Walter Bishop be? How kickass would Scully and Olivia be? *sigh* Feel free to take them out of the world of X-Files is what I'm saying here. ;)
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.
