(Just someone to chat to, to show the latest bits to, etc. will help, so if you want to see any of these written, maybe you want to offer to be that person?)

Or Rookie Blue manifesto? I'm not sure what you call this, except I feel like I might explode with all the thoughts I've had with nowhere to share. Just because the fandom died before I could get to it doesn't mean I don't have Feelings and Thoughts about everything, so. Starting with that, actually.

Why the fandom died )


But I have ships, I dooooo, so here to my thoughts on those:


Luke/Andy )

Sam/Andy )

Nick/Andy )

Sam/Marlo )

Chris/Gail )

Dov/Gail )

Luke/Gail )

Chris/Denise )

Dov/Chloe )

Nick/Gail )

Gail/Holly )

Nick/Juliet )

Jerry/Traci )

Steve/Traci )

Chris/Traci )

I think that's all I can come up with for Rookie Blue, ship-wise (for now - I'm sure there are more possible ships to discuss!). There are a lot of plot-related things I think were pretty dumb or ill-thought-out (the length of time between Luke being shot and when Sam and Andy find him, Andy going on a UC operation the same day she held a bomb, Duncan even making it through the academy in the first place), but that's what AU fics are for…

If you found this interesting in any way, or agree/disagree with me about something, please comment! I'd love to have a discussion with another Rookie Blue fan.

This is my first time trying Multifandom Tropefest! I'm looking forward to it. :D Below I've done a lot of describing the awesomeness about each pairing or group, and gave a few prompts in case you find them useful. I hope you have a lot of fun writing for me. :)

What I love about relationships is all the emotional depth: vulnerability, loyalty, knowing someone so well you know what they feel/think/need, even just having someone there as an emotional "rock". The whole "not being alone" feeling is such a powerful theme.

I once made up a 101 favorite tropes list (in no particular order), so feel free to make use of those if any of them get your muse going: https://doranwen.dreamwidth.org/240453.html

Besides those tropes, here are my general likes:
deep platonic friendship, romantic friendship, asexual romance, found families, apocalyptic fic, hurt/comfort, nonsexual physical touch (including cuddling), self-sacrifice, characters being vulnerable, character redemption, survival fic, positive treatment of religion, characters dealing with trauma, trust building, missing scenes, canon divergence AU (especially fix-it fic)

DNWs: supernatural/fantasy beings (elves, vampires, werewolves, gnomes, zombies, etc.), AUs other than canon divergence or alt beginnings, deathfic or horror, calling an adult "baby" or "darling", mpreg, crackfic, gore (mild violence is OK, just not as graphic as a surgery documentary), uncensored profanity, first/second person fic

DNW/Caution note: I'm not averse to mentions of sex, but I'd prefer the fic not focus on it or indulge in the physical feelings. Emotional feelings/bonds are what I focus on in any ship. If a prompt requires a mention or implies sex in some way, feel free to include it as necessary as long as the focus of the fic is elsewhere.

Don't worry if someone's written a similar 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.

Some of the fandoms below have more tropes than others; this has nothing to do with how much or how little I love the pairings/groups, but more with how versatile the pairing was for different tropes. I'm sure I'll love reading whatever you write for any of these fandoms! :)



Below are optional prompts - or just plain squeeing and unhelpful "I'd love this!" - in the order that I found the tags in the tagset:


Crossover Fandom )

Alphas (TV) )

Rizzoli & Isles )

Rizzoli & Isles )

Rookie Blue )

Rookie Blue )

Women's Murder Club (TV) )


Thank you for writing for me - I can't wait to see what you come up with! :D

Looking for an alpha/beta reader for this - someone who can chat with me, read what I have written and give me fdk on if it's in character or not, someone I can bounce ideas off and finish plotting things with, etc. I've got a lot of energy in writing this and think I would definitely get to finishing it - possibly the longest thing I've ever written. But a lot depends on me having someone to talk to when I hit a snag. (My hard drive's full of WIPs I got stalled on and had no one to talk to to get past them.) I don't post WIPs anywhere else until they are completed, so this is all that will be publicly visible of this one until it's actually done.

So here's a first chapter/sampler of what I have so far, unedited (at this point, it's over 5k and growing, and I have a rough outline almost all the way to the happy ending):


Story premise:

In the show, Andy has a strong relationship with her father, despite his addiction to alcohol. This acts as a mitigating factor to the abandonment she feels from her mother's actions, leaving her "messed up" (see her words to Noah in 1x05 Broad Daylight) but relatively "normal". Tweak a few variables, though, and everything might change significantly. In this case, our story starts years before she ever arrives at 15 Division…


Teaser )



If you're interested, you can PM me here, leave a comment, or find me on IRC in the #yuletide channel on Slashnet.


EDIT: Fic is up to 11k now and stalled for lack of beta help… :(

This might be useful for anyone who just wants a good fic in a certain category, no matter the fandom. Everything is cut so if you don't want to see a particular category, just be sure to view this from the page for this date, and expand only the categories you want. I'll add more fics to this as I find them or think of them. This list is by no means all-inclusive; absence of a fic on it only means that fic has not come to my mind yet as an outstanding example of a particular category, though it may be well-written.

Please let me know if you run across any dead links to stories (that aren't specified - at least one of the stories in this post was deleted after I rec'd it, and I've left the rec up with a note to that effect).

For other fic lists, check out my master recs post.
