nnozomiAmended from past years:
Thank you for writing something for me. With the exception of the do-not-like stuff, please take any and all of this as optional suggestions only, and do what works for you. Not all of the stuff I like, for instance, may be applicable to all the fandoms I've requested; choose what makes sense to you.
Do not like: darkfic in general, incest, humiliation, NC-17 for either violence or sex (no moral objections, it's just not what I enjoy reading), blatant out-of-characterness, rape/dubcon, Christmas themes (again, not opposed to their existence in general, just not Christian myself), coronavirus/quarantine references etc.
Enjoy in particular: snappy dialogue, families of choice, playing with language(s), cuddling, work (in all definitions) and people being competent at it, hurt/comfort, futurefic, scenes from everyday life.
I tend to prefer genfic, but have no objection at all to background romance/relationships, or even a romance fic with a high gen ratio, as it were. Any pairing (m/f, m/m, f/f, threesome, you name it) is fine as long as you can make me believe in it.
By fandom/characters:
The Lost Tomb: Reboot: Wu Xie, Liu Sang
If my writer is a fan of Daomu Biji as a whole (other series, books, etc.), I want to apologize; I’m a novice who started watching Chongqi straight up for Zhu Yilong…. I chose Wu Xie and Liu Sang as the two characters I’m most fond of (similar in some ways—at once ruthless and selfless, smart-mouthed, loving the people they love a lot), but please feel free to include anyone else you have in mind, especially but not limited to/necessarily Wang Pangzi, Huo Daofu, Xiao Bai, and Li Jiale&Jia Kezi. If you want to write about Wu Xie and Liu Sang interacting, that would be great—post-canon? Missing scene? Canon divergence (what if Liu Sang went into Warehouse 11 along with Wu Xie?). If you want to focus on one or the other and bring the other one in as a secondary character, that’s fine too. (I am always here for EVEN MORE Wu Xie whump / hurt/comfort, related to his canonical illness or otherwise; the same is fine for Liu Sang too if you want, although maybe heavier on the comfort.) I don’t have strong shippy feelings about anyone around here; any pairings you want to include are fine, although I’d rather romance/sex wasn’t the main focus of the fic.
The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water: Guet Imm, Lau Fung Cheung, Tet Sang
I don’t even know where to start, except that I love these characters and the language they use and the multi-layered complexity of the world they live in, and would like to read more about them in pretty much any context. Post-canon, what do they get up to? maybe Tet Sang and Guet Imm get to rescue Lau Fung Cheung from whatever trouble he’s gotten himself into (or vice versa, I guess); maybe they all get mixed up in more magical/religious events, if that’s something you’re comfortable with; maybe…who knows. What kind of partnership do Tet Sang and Guet Imm work out together? Does Lau Fung Cheung get over his unrequited crush on Tet Sang? How do events in the larger world affect them? Serious or silly, I just want more.
A Memory of Empire: Mahit Dzmare, Yskandr Aghavn, Three Seagrass
I would really like to read about them during a short interval when EVERYTHING isn’t happening at once. I love the worldbuilding we see for daily life in the Empire, and would like to see what might happen if Mahit(+Yskandr) were to spend time back there when things were less fraught, along with Three Seagrass. Yskandr and Mahit interacting more, during or post-canon? Yes please, I was sad not to get more of Yskandr during the book. Mahit/Three Seagrass would be delightful, if that works for you. (How does Three Seagrass feel about Mahit having a third party constantly present, in the context of dating or sex? How does Yskandr feel about it, for that matter? Even if Lsel people are used to the concept, he’s never been on this side of the equation before.) Outsider POV from original characters? Epistolary? In-universe RPF? Or…well, whatever you’d like to write about them. Any other characters also welcome.
Thank you again.
