Dear Trick or Treat writer,

Sorry if you already dropped by to check the letter and found this locked. It's taking me a while to gather my thoughts, as usual. One day I will make a one-size-fits-all letter.

Hi there, fandom sharer! :D I hope this wall of text won't scare you away. If it does, you should be fine, though. Apart from DNWs, anything you write is welcome, so reading this isn't necessary. This'll be a patchy Frankenstein's monster version made from my previous letter(s) and newer stuff, so any wonkiness you may notice is probably due to that. Well, that or my inability to be coherent.

Feel free to dig up some of the older letters for further likes and dislikes if you want. They may not fit this specific challenge (for example, supernatural elements in regular fandoms tend to be a no for me, but for this ficathon they're definitely welcome) but you get the general idea. They're tagged with Dear Writer, mostly on LJ, but the recent one's also on DW.

I know the minimum length required is 300 words. Some of these ideas would need more space to evolve (unless you just give a brief glimpse, a snapshot, which is something I really like, so yay), but I added them anyway in case you want broader ideas like I often do.

Fandoms and characters under the cut:
AGENTS OF SHIELD: Skye | Daisy Johnson // Framework Grant Ward // Leo Fitz // Jemma Simmons
BABYLON 5: Alfred Bester // Michael Garibaldi // Lyta Alexander // Mr. Morden
DARK MATTER: Three | Marcus Boone // Four | Ishida Ryo // One | Derrick Moss // Kyle Kierken
GOTHAM: Alfred Pennyworth // Oswald Cobblepot // Bruce Wayne // Edward Nygma // Jim Gordon
LEGENDS OF TOMORROW: Gideon // Rip Hunter // Martin Stein // Mick Rory // Leonard Snart // Ray Palmer
MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE: Peggy Carter // Steve Rogers // James "Bucky" Barnes // Yondu Udonta // Peter Quill // Loki // Thor
STAR TREK DS9: Julian Bashir // Elim Garak // Miles O'Brien // Jadzia Dax
STAR TREK TNG: Reginald Barclay // Data // Ro Laren
STARGATE ATLANTIS: Jack O'Neill // Daniel Jackson // Cameron Mitchell // Laura Cadman // Evan Lorne // Todd the Wraith // Rodney McKay // Kate Heightmeyer // John Sheppard

I requested fic for all of these. With some I tagged just treats, with some both treats and tricks, but that's not so much a strict rule as a suggestion. Some fandoms just lend themselves to tricks more easily than others, but treats work with anything. :) If someone wants to write extra gifts, I'm more than fine with either type, I promise. And if someone's inspired to do fanart? I definitely wouldn't turn it down!

Likes, dislikes, thoughts on tricks and treats, and of course prompts or general fangirling. )


edit a few days later: Omg, I was just struck by the paranoid thought that someone might think "my favourite character is" means I only want to read them and others are somehow lesser characters. O_O And that's so far from the truth it's not even funny. I read tons of characters and enjoy reading them, so if I call someone my favourite or say that 'these are my top 3' it doesn't mean the rest I've listed are just fillers. Gah, so not true.

My poor Dear Writer letter for [community profile] relationshipping has been a screened placeholder since I put it up for my sign-up and I still haven't finished it. Well, it's kind of finished, I have every fandom and pairing covered, but I have a feeling I'm forgetting something crucial. I've learned that when I have that feeling it's most likely there for a reason. I'm going to give it another glance tomorrow and then unscreen and share it. If you're my mystery author, I'm so sorry for the delay. It's not personal, I just fail. :P

I like my assignment. It's a pairing I was prepared to get and I'm already toying with various ideas I might use. One requires acquainting myself with some canon I'm not terribly familiar with, but I'm curious and want to try it. I have a good feeling about this. Slightly nervous, but when am I not with ficathons?

So, that's two ficathons I'm doing. Well, RS's the only exchange one. [community profile] fandomgiftbox is a lot freer when there aren't any assigned recipients, but I'm determined to do a few fills. They were fun last year. I ran out of time because I started so late but now I'm prepared to start earlier. Next week's going to be a bit busy for RL reasons but after that I should be able to focus better.

For the curious who haven't yet seen my tweet about it: Giftbox for meeeee. I narrowed it down to a dozen fandoms, and I'm mainly a fic/snippet kind of person so that's what I requested. :) I suck at prompts, even when I know they're really inspiring most of the time, and that shows in the sign-up. I should learn and list a ton of prompts somewhere so I could just c&p the appropriate ones whenever I need them.

Fandoms and pairings/characters:
  • B5: Legend of the Rangers [David Martell/Dulann, David Martell & Dulann & Sarah Cantrell]
  • Dark Matter [Three/One, Three/Kierken, Three/Anders]
  • Downton Abbey [Thomas Barrow/Tom Branson, Thomas Barrow/Jimmy Kent, Sybil Crawley/Gwen Dawson]
  • Falling Skies [Tom Mason/John Pope]
  • Gotham [Oswald Cobblepot/Edward Nygma, Oswald Cobblepot/Jim Gordon, Jim Gordon/Harvey Bullock]
  • Hut 33 [Gordon, Archie/Charles, Winstanley]
  • Riverdale [Kevin Keller/guy crush, Cheryl Blossom/Jason Blossom]
  • Rizzoli & Isles novels - Tess Gerritsen [Maura Isles/Father Daniel Brophy, Maura Isles & or / Anthony Sansone]
  • Stargate SG-1 [Daniel Jackson/Paul Davis, Daniel Jackson/Jack O'Neill]
  • Star Trek TNG [Barclay/guy of your choice]
  • Star Trek DS9 [Julian/Garak, Julian/Miles, Kira/Odo, Kira/Dukat, Jadzia/Lenara]
  • Star Trek Voyager [Tom/Harry, Tom/Chakotay, Tuvok/Chakotay, Tuvok/Vorik, Tuvok/guy, Vorik/guy]

    Mostly m/m slash, some femslash, some het, some gen. I'm still not sure if I should write up a post with prompts. Maybe? There are some fandoms I haven't really talked about on LJ, let alone DW (like Falling Skies or Riverdale), so there's no way to figure out what my thoughts are and what I might like. I guess that means more on my to-do list for tomorrow.

    My TOS and DS9 rewatches have been on hold for nearly two weeks now and I'm starting to suffer from slight withdrawal with the latter. :D I miss my Kira and Jadzia and Julian and disturbingly sexy Cardassians. But I felt the need to catch up with Pretty Little Liars and I'm so close to finishing it that I'll just try to handle the withdrawal. Another show I'm not sure I've mentioned anywhere. It's kind of a guilty pleasure, being more a teen show than what I'm probably expected to be watching, but it's fun and I refuse to feel guilty for watching something I find entertaining. And hey, their parents are from my teen show casts so that makes it ok, right? :D I'm at the end of S6, only a couple more eps and I get to start S7. I've been spoiled by a few things (like I was with A's identity) but that's ok. And I have a few ship issues but that won't surprise anyone who knows me. (For one, I like the new ship and will be a bit disappointed when they go back to their old ships. Which are nice, yes, but why does this show think every teen pair should stay together forever?)

    Book* time now. Then bed time. What a wild Friday evening I have.

    *Isfolket reread number umpteen, since my last one got interrupted around #30. Now on book #16. (Ingrid! Rune! You know, sort of.)
