doranwen: reading one book is like eating one potato chip (Reading One Book)
This is my first time trying Fandom Growth! I'm looking forward to it. :D I did a lot of describing the awesomeness about each character or pairing, and gave a few prompts in case you find them useful. I hope you have a lot of fun writing for me. :)

I love characters who are strong, characters who have quiet depth, characters with an active inner life, characters who think… You'll probably see this in the characters I requested. :)

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: http://doranwen.livejournal.com/246063.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: sex or sexual feelings, 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

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 of which I found them in the tagset):

Worldweavers - Alma Alexander )

Born of Hope (2009) )

Gold Diggers (1995) )

X-Men (Original Timeline Movies) )

Alphas (TV) )

C-16: FBI )

Sue Thomas F.B.Eye )

Women's Murder Club (TV) )


Happy writing! :D

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

Born of Hope (2009) )

The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien )


Happy writing! :D

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

I love women who are strong, women who have quiet depth, women with an active inner life, women who think and/or feel… You'll probably see this in the characters I requested. :) I love women in roles from caretaker to defender, including a mix of those (such as a woman defending her children from harm, or a soldier who lays down her war life to raise a family). Courage looks like different things in different people, and I love seeing that strength shown in women with different personalities.

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.

Don't worry if someone's written a similar idea before (even as a gift for me!). 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. I love to see how two people can take the same idea and come up with two totally different stories. :D

If you're crossover-inclined, you're welcome to cross these with any fandom I know: If I've requested it or listed it as a possible crossover fandom in one of my other exchange letters, you can totally use it! Most of the fandoms I've requested in past exchanges have had a lot of women characters (some of them very female-centric), so that should make it easy.


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

Born of Hope (2009) )

Gold Diggers (1995) )

Tomorrow When the War Began (2010) )

Crossover Fandoms )



Happy writing! :D

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.
