doranwen: female nerds, rare and precious (Default)
Wayback Exchange reminds me a lot of My Old Fandom, an exchange I had a lot of fun with some years ago, so I couldn't resist trying it out this year. I'm excited you're writing a story for me, and I promise I will comment with much appreciation! I did a lot of describing the awesomeness about each fandom and/or character/ship, and gave a few prompts in case you find them useful. I hope you have a lot of fun writing for me. :)

Prompts are, of course, completely optional - use them or ignore them as suits you best. I also 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 outside of LOTR, vampires, werewolves, gnomes, zombies, etc.), AUs other than canon divergence or alt beginnings, noncanonical 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.


And now to the requests (in the order they appear in the tagset):


Gold Diggers (1995) )

Crossover Fandoms )

1-800-Missing (TV) )

C-16: FBI )

Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye )

Women's Murder Club (TV) )


Happy writing! :D

Yuletide is even earlier than last year, but I'm already so excited I couldn't wait to write my letter. :D I love all of these canons so much and I will be absolutely delighted to see the fic for me. I hope you have a blast writing it!


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, alternate universe (especially fix-it fic), any trope on this list: http://doranwen.livejournal.com/246063.html

DNWs: sex or sexual feelings, supernatural/fantasy beings (elves, vampires, werewolves, gnomes, zombies, etc.), certain AUs (medieval, fantasy, supernatural, fairytale, feudal, space, historical), 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

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.

Although I mention it in various prompts below, if you're crossover-inclined, here's the full list of fandoms you could cross with the requested ones (besides, of course, any of my other requests):

Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain (1995) (Beth/Jody make the best romantic friendship ever)
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (this is in the tagset, even--Lois and Clark are my favs, though I also enjoy Clark's parents)
Lord of the Rings (books only, please)
The Pretender (this is also in the tagset--Jarod and Miss Parker are my favs)
Push (2009) (this is also in the tagset--am such a Nick/Cassie fan)
Rizzoli & Isles (through S6, I'm behind on watching and haven't gotten to watching S7 yet)
Smallville (S1-S3 only, am a Clark/Chloe fan and not into Erica Durance's Lois, nor any of the magic stuff that came in S4)
Tomorrow, When the War Began (2010) (I'm not sure exactly how you'd cross something like that with all of these American and British canons, but I love the whole idea of it, even)
X-Men movieverse (first two films only, please)

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

Worldweavers - Alma Alexander
Flood (2007)
1-800-Missing (TV)
C-16: FBI
Sue Thomas F.B.Eye
Women's Murder Club


Worldweavers - Alma Alexander )
