Dear AUex 2021 Writer Letter

AUex is an exchange that seems to be tailor-made to me. I love what-ifs, canon divergence, and a variety of excellent tropes, and with this exchange, I can indulge that love to my heart's content. I hope you have just as much fun writing for me as I will have reading what you write!

( Yes please! )

( DNWs )

( Opt-ins I'm OK with )

If writing a romantic friendship, I'd prefer the line be drawn at forehead/cheek kisses and cuddles; please reserve lip kisses for sexual relationships.

If a prompt requires something that's listed as a DNW, please follow the prompt rather than the DNW. :)

Also, if choosing between writing the characters as true to themselves as you can, vs. writing a particular trope or prompt, I'd prefer you to keep the characters true to themselves.


Don't worry if someone's written that particular idea before. My first real fandom was one where people used to write a dozen versions of the same TV ep, and I loved reading them all. There are never too many versions of the same story, in my opinion. Too few of these AUs have been written, and I want to see more of even the ones that have!

I don't go into a lot of my thoughts on most of these fandoms and characters (and please do not read anything into which sections are longer or not, I honestly love ALL of these), but I've requested all of them in other exchanges unless otherwise stated below, so if you want more info on the way I look at them, just filter my posts by the "fanfic exchange letter" tag to see other letters that have the same fandoms.


I've requested Crossover AU for a few fandoms (as well as the tag Worldweavers fusion). For any crossover AU, you are totally welcome to cross any of my requested fandoms with any of the others, or with the following:

1-800-Missing (S1 only, not the S2-S3 of Missing) - I prefer non-shippy here
C-16: FBI - I *maybe* ship Amanda/Jack
Cybergeddon (web series) - I don't ship Chloe/Frank, ambivalent about Chloe/Rabbit
Leverage (but please stick with the original show and pretend the new series hasn't happened) - I ship Nate/Sophie and Eliot/Parker, do *not* ship the OT3 or Hardison/Parker, but all gen for the younger three is perfectly fine
Push (2009) - I ship Nick/Cassie
Sue Thomas F.B.Eye - I ship Jack/Sue and Myles/Tara
Worldweavers - Alma Alexander - I prefer non-shippy here


And now to the requests (in the order of which I found them in the tagset):

( X-Men (Original Timeline Movies) )

( Alphas (TV) )

( FBI (TV 2018) )

( FBI: Most Wanted (TV 2020) )

( Rizzoli & Isles )

( Rookie Blue )

( Rookie Blue )

( Smallville )

( Women's Murder Club (TV) )

Happy writing! :D
