tjs_whatnotHello!
I'm so glad we have at least one tiny fandom in common, that means I already love you and think you have impeccable taste!
So, I guess a bit about my likes/dislikes in general and then I'll wax poetic about my fandom loves and give you some ideas and whatnot, yes? Okay, let's begin:
Things I'm a fan of:
Gen:
Worldbuilding
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
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, contact redsnake05 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, kittens and rainbows if that's your thing. :)
Character bashing
cruelty/abuse/torture
And I think that's about it. Now, on to the fandoms!
Inkheart Series: Man, I love this series so much! I really thought it would be the next Harry Potter. I thought we'd be having shipping wars and I'd be setting up communities to celebrate my OT3 Mo/Resa/Dustfinger. ❤️❤️ Imagine my surprise when none of that happened, when I'm still begging for scraps of fic at any fest it's eligible. But I've gotten some lovely scraps, so I will continue to ask for more for forever! But, I have to admit, it's been a while since I've read the series, so feel free to go with whatever you would most like to read and I'm sure I'll love it. I love the relationship between Mo and Dustfinger and how intwined they become (and how intwined they were in the beginning too). I also love them individually too and there's really nothing I wouldn't love to read about them. Eleonore is another favorite, and her and Darius having bookish shenanigans (or conversations) would be ❤️❤️. I'm not as keen on Basta and Capricorn, but I'm sure I can be convinced if you want to try to sell me.
The Way: I can't imagine you're here for this fandom (is there even a fandom for this movie? Just me? Cool). So I'll just use this space to urge you to watch this movie. It's so... guh, moving and touching and it sort of changed my life. It got me walking, got me plotting, got me suffering from serious wanderlust. After you've watched the movie, if you want to tell a story about the father and son, or just the father, maybe the people he meets on the journey, or just Spain... I'm HERE for it! ❤️❤️
Northern Exposure: This is the fandom I forget about until Yuletide (or until I'm driving through Roslyn Washington on my way to visiting family every summer. ♥) I've gotten some amazing stories for this fandom as gifts, but I'm always looking for more--more Marilyn being awesome and driving Joel crazy while also teaching him valuable lessons, more Chris being awesome and all philosophical and whatnot, more Ed being all purity and light and just so very precious. Just really anything. I haven't really read or written anything outside of canon ships in this fandom--mostly gen to be honest, but I'm not opposed to any queering of the characters you want to do or really anything you want to do.
Kim's Convenience: My very, very, very favorite thing about Kim's Convenience is the relationship between Janet and Appa. I could read/watch hours and hours of stories after stories that was nothing more than them fighting, being begrudgingly sweet to each other and just being themselves like they are only with each other. Another thing I'd love is some backstory, or present fic where Appa and Jung have to deal with their shit. Other than that, really anything in any time either pre, canon, or post. ♥
She-Hulk: Is it just me, or is Jessica Walters the EXACT thing that Matt Murdock needs in his life? Like, something that makes him smile? That brings out his snark? I am HERE for it. I mean, I do love me some Daredevil, but sometimes his show was hard for me to watch because he's just so... very... broody... ya know? But this? This was so amazingly fun to watch. I love the girl! Power of it, the meta of it, the breaking the fourth wall of it and the fun. Just how incredibly fun it was. There are so many things you could do with this show. You could just lean in hard to the fourth wall breaking, rom-com ness of it all and get all Bridget Jones with it, or you could queer the fuck out of it because there is definitely room for that and I am HERE for it!
(Since I've suggested at least twice "queering" things up, I guess I should talk about what that means to me--I'm a big fan of slash, femslash, ace representation, platonic soulmates, poly... really anything except incest--that DNW still stands.)
So, those are just a few ideas and suggestions, take what works, dismiss all that doesn't... or all of it really. I trust you. I trust your judgement, I mean, you love what I love, you must be awesome. *nods*
