This post is my complete list of crossovers (as far as I've added them in my database). I will endeavor to keep it updated as new crossover fics are added to the database.

I have included one of my own fics in this post, and tagged it as a favorite, because I like to re-read it. (I only do this for some of my fics.) It is not marked as exceptionally well-written because I couldn't evaluate my own work with clarity that way, even if I particularly like the way I wrote something. It's also tagged as a WIP because I never did get to finishing it. *sheepish grin*

If any of the links above no longer work (and are inaccessible via the Wayback Machine), please let me know so I can flag them as "Dead" in my database, thanks!

This is my first time trying a soulmates/soulbonds exchange, but I've done Multifandom Tropefest and AUex and other tropey exchanges, so I'm excited. :D

I hope you have a blast writing for me. I always comment on my gifts and appreciate the hard work my writers do in crafting a story for me, and I'm sure I'll enjoy what you write.

I've tried to help you out by describing what I love about each fandom and/or character, and I've written a few prompts in case you find them useful, but if you come up with something of your own, please write what you think will work best! I've been wonderfully surprised by fics that I never would have thought of in a million years but which were absolutely amazing.

Fics of any length beyond the minimum are fine with me. If your story runs away with you, please be reassured I will love it longer just as much as if it were between 1,000 and 2,000 words.

The icon may make it appear that I have a particular bias towards one fandom, but I just picked one icon that matched a fandom in the list - and which I haven't used recently - so please don't worry: I really truly will love fic for anything I've requested! :)

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

( 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.

As far as soulmates-specific things go: I don't care one way or the other about soulmarks, but prefer they not be the person's name or anything they say. I definitely do not want timers or a red string of fate. I'm OK in general with sharing scars, emotions, etc.

And now to the requests (in tagset category order):
Gold Diggers (1995)
Push (2009)
Leverage
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman
The Pretender (TV)
Rizzoli & Isles (TV)
Rookie Blue
Smallville
Sue Thomas F.B.Eye
Women's Murder Club (TV)

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

I love doing Chocolate Box every year. :D Below I've done a lot of describing the awesomeness about each pairing, 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 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 tagset category order):

The Matrix (Movies)
X-Men (Original Timeline Movies)
Crossover Fandom
Cybergeddon (Web Series)
Alphas (TV)
Rookie Blue
Women's Murder Club (TV)

Happy writing! :D

The sad part of archiving is running into groups which are effectively closed - the owner/moderator is MIA for some reason (or just not seeing the emails of me requesting membership), so there's no way to be approved as a member. Yet there are some that I really want to be a member of for their own sake, because I want to read the posts. Below are my top five:

#1 - PretenderHeadquarters: link
I love The Pretender a ton, and Jarod/Miss Parker are my OTPest of OTPs. If I had known of The Pretender back when this group was really active, I would have totally joined in a heartbeat. (I commented on their LJ to no avail; I'd have posted on the Facebook account too if I had a FB account - if anyone wants to do that for me, please! That would be very helpful.) Approved and backing this one up now! :D

#2 - SueThomas_FBeye: link
SFTBE is one of my favorite shows, and it's already had whole forums stuffed full of fic disappear with no backups. I'd hate to see these vanish too!

#3 - deaddolphinandfloggedhorse: link
This is a truly MASSIVE archive of posts and Logan/Marie fic for X-Men movies - a ship I love very much. I would love to read the fic on here!

#4 - lordoftheringstrilogy: link
This one looks to have been reasonably active with probably some interesting fic and discussion, and I love Lord of the Rings to pieces; it's the first fandom I ever saw fic for, and the books have a special place in my heart.

#5 - FidesAchates: link
This one's a gen fic group! I don't know whether any of the fandoms posted about are mine, but I'd love to have a chance to find out.

Should you know anyone who is a member of any of them, please let them know how to back things up and let them know I would love to be able to read, even if the admin of the group isn't around to grant me access! (Even if it's just "here's the html export of the entire set of messages".)

( The ones that didn't make my top 5 list )

AUex is here!!!!!! I wanted AUex before it ever existed, and am so delighted that it has returned this year. I adore canon divergence so much, you have no idea. (But you will by the time you get to the end of this letter!) I did a lot of describing the awesomeness about each character and AU idea, and hope you're truly inspired by them. 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 and feel… You'll probably see this in the characters I requested. :)

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 and work with a requested AU: 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: sex or sexual feelings, supernatural/fantasy beings (elves, vampires, werewolves, gnomes, zombies, etc.), aliens other than Superman, unrequested deathfic, 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 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 each of these fandoms and characters, but I've requested all of them in other exchanges unless I stated otherwise 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 haven't requested any crossover ships (they didn't even occur to me to nominate!) or tags, but with the exception of Gold Diggers, 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)
C-16: FBI
Push (2009)
Sue Thomas F.B.Eye
Worldweavers - Alma Alexander

This is my first time trying Not Prime Time! 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. :)

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! Every one of the fandoms I've requested crosses pretty well with others, I think.

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

( Push (2009) )

( X-Men (Original Timeline Movies) )

( The Pretender )

( Rizzoli & Isles )

Happy writing! :D

( For the poor My Old Fandom writer that gets assigned to me :) )

( Sue Thomas F.B.Eye )

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).
