*dusts this site off*

How are you all? I have missed you all like CRAZY! Why do I keep letting life keep me away? WHYYYYYY?!?! I certainly don't mean to. Not even a little.

But, school is killing me.
Work is killing me.

I find relief in fandom things... but only have the time to consume it and let it fill my head with fantasy and whatnot. it doesn't give me time to interact with it, to create anything from it.

Hardly ever.

But, I am trying (again) to change that. I'm forcing myself to do things that I enjoy instead of just the things I have to do.

Things like:

Yep, once again, I am participating (and modding a bit) this glorious fest! It really does help me connect with my fandom self and it's great to also reconnect with the other old timers while meeting new lovelies. ♥

The first day was to update the profile or intro post. But my update last year is still painfully accurate so it stays.

Cutting for length )

Okay, I think that's enough to be getting through tonight/today. Thank you for reading. ♥

Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan & Max Klinger
Father Francis Mulcahy & Sidney Freedman

Why yes, I do have a thing for Hawkeye, why do you ask? :D What I want? What Hawkeye gives in spades, laughs and heartache. I would love to see some post-canon-back in the states-reunion of some sort type shenanigans. How do they all go back to life? Does Hawkeye have any PTSD from that last episode (I know *I* do!) Or maybe just a missing scene? A moment between whichever characters you want to focus on. For Margaret and Klinger, IDK, I just really liked those times where they were tender to each other in some quiet way that they didn't share with anyone else. And Mulcahy and Sidney would just be the best therapists for each other yes? Two men who fix the mind and soul in a place that only knows what to do with the body. How do they help, how do they ask for help for themselves? Who is there to heal their mind, their soul?

Oh jeez do I love this show! I have watched in on pretty much repeat for about 10 years now. What do I want? Missing scenes, pre-canon, post-canon. Or, just take these characters and put them in some other weird and wonderful place. And, yes, I do have a lot of headcanon for these characters, but I also like to see what thoughts and feelings others have for these guys, so unless you really want me to elaborate (you can anon me or contact mods I think with requests) I'm just going to leave the blank slate. Just no character bashing of the listed characters--or anyone else who isn't Mandy, Angela Blake, and that French kid. ;)

Inkheart Series: Mo Folchart/Staubfinger | Dustfinger
Mo Folchart/Resa Folchart (Inkheart Trilogy)Mo Folchart & Staubfinger | Dustfinger
Meggie Folchart & Resa Folchart
Meggie Folchart & Mo Folchart
Farid/Meggie Folchart

This book series owns my heart. And yet, it's been so long since I've read them, that they just live in my heart as a feeling, a emotion and a sense of *sigh* perfection. I remember having deep connections to the relationship of Mo and Dustfinger in that last book, of wanting to know more about Resa and Dustfinger's bond, to have more father and daughter bits and pieces before the world(s) and their inhabitants took all their attention. And Farid and Meggie was another place where I'd like to follow the breadcrumbs left to us. What I'm saying is that canon means very little to me anymore, but the sense of wonder, of deep connection between characters and the possibliites of more mean everything.

Veronica Mars:
Logan Echolls/Veronica Mars
Veronica Mars & Wallace Fennel
Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie & Veronica Mars & Wallace Fennel
Logan Echolls & Veronica Mars
Keith Mars & Veronica Mars

This fandom, man. IDEK. I think it's my Pandemic-Dawson's Creek. I'm too fuckin' old to be even watching, there are so many things that I roll by eye through, but I just can't STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. Feel free to take this opportunity to sort of ~fix~ that last season. What I love about Veronica's relationships with Wallace and Mac is that they both call her on being a bad friend when she is, which I found refreshing because most shows that focus on one character with lots of side characters, allow the main character to be a bad friend and a user without that. And Logan, I can't even explain my love for Logan Echolls. If someone told me after that first episode that he'd be my favorite, and I would have called you a filthy liar who didn't know me all that well. But, if you would have told me that Logan Echolls is the Pacey Whitter of Neptune, I could have skipped a lot of ill will there in the beginning. The thing I LOVED about season 4 (one of the only things) was Logan, seeing who he became, how he was trying to be and how hard he was working on himself. Which is why that last 10 minutes are UNACCEPTABLE! Please, fix that! :) Or just some father and daughter shenanigans. (Wow, I didn't realize how many of my fandoms right now have father figures that I want to read more about.) ♥
tjs_whatnot: (writing--quit my shitty job)
Hello!

Usually when one goes on a Friending Spree, one devotes a post or two to introducing themselves to all their new, and potential friends. But, well, I don't know what to say. I might be all Me'd out after the FSC. So, feel free to ask me questions if you want to know more about me.

The thing you need to know about me--and this will come up a lot--is I am super behind on like, ALL of my commitments.

And I'm sure there are things I'm missing )

Alright, enough of this. I got to write some stuff down for legit. Please do feel free to ask me anything.

SOOOOOO 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, contact [personal profile] redsnake05, 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.
tjs_whatnot: (Whatnotastic)
Lots and lots of recs!

Most of these are super short--which is one of the things I love about Chocolate Box, all those bite-size morsels of yummy. What people do with characterization and language in so very few words will always awe me and make me giddy. These aren't all the ones worth reading (I still have a lot to read, I was just starting to burn out and that's really not fair to the fics I was reading, so I'm taking a break.) But here's what I've read and loved so far.

There's a Story for Everyone in Here )

Tropes and whatnot that I'm a sucker for:

Obviously (based on what I've requested and who I've requested) I like found families, and teams coming together for a common goal. I like hurt/comfort, epistolary, location as character, secondary characters running the show, experimental story telling style (i.e. poetry, 2nd person POV, drabble sets) GO CRAZY!

Request 1: Agent Carter

Ana Jarvis/Edwin Jarvis
Peggy Carter & Howard Stark
Peggy Carter & Edwin Jarvis
Peggy Carter & Ana Jarvis
Peggy Carter & Ana Jarvis & Edwin Jarvis

Ahhh, this show is so great and kick-ass and I love it, but for this, I sort of want wit and hi-jinks, people who are really good at most things to be really bad (or at the least, in need of help) in others. So maybe Peggy needs Jarvis to teach her to dance and in turn, he wants her to teach him how to do one of the many things Peggy excels at-- and Ana and or Howard watches from the sidelines and offer pointers/criticisms. Or Howard needs a favor and Peggy has some demands of her own. Really anything with any of these characters would be awesome, though I'd really only like romance with Ana and Edwin, maybe something domestic and homey in the midst of chaos, or a bit of backstory about how they fell in love.


Request 2 Doctor Who

Eleventh Doctor/River Song
Amy Pond/Rory Williams & River Song
Amy Pond/Rory Williams
Twelfth Doctor/River Song
Jack Harkness/River Song
River Song & Rory Williams
Amy Pond & River Song
Eleventh Doctor & Amy Pond & Rory Williams
Donna Noble & River Song
Twelfth Doctor & Jack Harkness & Missy
Eleventh Doctor & Tenth Doctor

Mostly I'm in Doctor Who for the 11 (or as I call him Doctor Squishy-Face) ♥ I'd love either a missing scene or pre-canon/post canon... like maybe about Amy and Rory winding up together in NYC where they find a little girl who is lost and alone and remembers very little about herself except that once, she had wanted to be an astronaut. Or more bits of "Pond Life" or a page from River and The Doctor's diary. For the Doctor/River (while I ship the fuck out of 11/River) I also wouldn't mind some 12/River, or maybe she compares and contrasts all the Doctors she knows. The Jack/River is just because two people that sexually charged with vortex manipulators are bound to have hooked up at least once, am I right? And how weird would the shenanigans with 12, Jack and Missy be? I have no idea what I want with that, I just really want it. ;)

Request 3 Hart of Dixie

Zoe Hart/Wade Kinsella
Earl Kinsella & Wade Kinsella
Lavon Hayes & Wade Kinsella
Lavon Hayes/Annabeth Nass
Lavon Hayes & Zoe Hart
Lemon Breeland & Wade Kinsella
Wade Kinsella & George Tucker

Bored one long weekend and trolling along Netflix looking for something new and I took a chance on this show. And at the end of the weekend, I was almost at the end of the show. I'm just SUCH a sucker for this sort of story. The fish-out-of-water stories, the quirky town folk stories. Any missing scene would be good, any of the ones without Zoe in them would be awesome to have some pre-canon. For the romance ones, I love Lavon/Annabeth and was really sad about them not winding up together. They were so cute! I also like Wade/Zoe, but would prefer a story of them getting together in all it's messy glory rather than them being happily ever after together.

Request 4 MASH
ANY

I don't even remember what characters and relationships were up for consideration in this fandom, but since I love EVERY character (to various degrees) and would LOVE anything with any relationship, I just put "Any." Seriously, go crazy! Specifically? I love Hawkeye being put in his place and being contrite about it. I like missing scenes as well as post season. This is a great fandom to explore the epistolary style. I LOVED the letters home motif that this show did so well. Maybe once they get home, one of them misses the confessional that a letter sent far off to someone who isn't in their lives compels and starts a penpal relationship? What would they say in a letter that they'd never say in person?

Request 5 Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

Chirrut Îmwe/Baze Malbus & Bodhi Rook & Cassian Andor & Jyn Erso & K-2SO
Galen Erso & Bodhi Rook
Chirrut Îmwe & Baze Malbus & Jyn Erso
Chirrut Îmwe & any Jedi
Cassian Andor & Rebel soldiers
Cassian Andor & Jyn Erso & K-2SO
Cassian Andor & his parents
Bodhi Rook & Baze Malbus & Cassian Andor & Chirrut Îmwe & Jyn Erso & K-2SO
Jyn Erso & K-2SO
Cassian Andor & K-2SO

As you can tell with this (and many other of my requests), I'm all about the gen right now. Not that there can't be romantic overtones, but just that I want the relationship explored without the goal of sexy-times being in play. For this one, (and SPOILERS if you haven't seen the movie, look away!) I'd like it to take place either in canon (a missing scene, maybe a character study in relation to the other) or pre-canon. I don't really want any of them to miraculous survive. I know, how sad is that? But I'm not ready to tinker with that particular problem right now. What I'd really like from any Cassian based story is backstory. What exactly did he endure? Who did he lose? Backstory for Chirrut and Baze would be ace too!

Request 6 Star Wars Original Trilogy

Leia Organa/Han Solo
Lando Calrissian & Han Solo
Han Solo/Leia Organa & Luke Skywalker

ANYTHING! WRITE ME ANYTHING FOR THESE PEOPLE AND I WILL BE HAPPY! And this one, if you're so inclined, can get as smexy as you want between Leia and Han. Show me some sweet, sweet love...or some snarky, tumultuous love. Or maybe how Han and Leia start a family and make sure Luke is involve in it. Even bits of Ben's inclusion? Sure, go for it! For the Lando and Han, maybe some backstory? A how-they-met story, or one of their dealings with each other? And by all means, feel free to um... fuse those last two fandoms together to your heart's content. Shhhh, I won't tell. ♥

Basically though, have fun. Don't stress about the details. It's all good.

And if you'd like a second opinion about my likes and whatnots, [personal profile] redsnake05 is your go-to. Not only do they know me really well, they also know how to translate my babble into normal-person speak. ;)
