Rare Pair Fest - Dear Author Letter 2015
Jun. 19th, 2015 10:38 amDear Mystery Author,
Thank you so much for signing up for this fest and for creating a fanwork for me. I'm really looking forward to reading it. I can't wait! I'm sure I'll absolutely love it.
I don't have any big ideas for any of these fandoms or pairings, so it really is up to you what you write. Anything for any of these pairings is fantastic - they really do need more love! So instead of writing a list of prompts, I'm going to be very general. Tell you my likes and dislikes, and then leave it up to you. Be adventurous, MA!
Starting with the not-so-good stuff: my squicks are non-con, abuse of any kind, and extreme angst (of the suicidal kind). I really, really can't read them so I'd appreciate it if you avoided them as much as possible. Oh, and no A/B/O please.
I like most AUs. I'm not overly fond of gangster or band AUs, and I won't touch high school ones (and if you're writing for Harry Potter or Supernatural then please no non-magic!AUs/human!AUs), but other than that, go nuts!
Want to write time-travel? One of my favourite genres. Hurt-comfort? Yes please. Domestic fluff? Fabulous. Soul-bonding? All the yes.
I like dark!characters, politics, manipulation and power dynamics. I love age-disparity, smut, characters decorating and arguing about the colour of curtains with each other. Character introspectives are wonderful, and world-building is a thing of beauty. If there's something about your chosen fandom that you've always wanted to explore, then you can do that here if the characters work for you. If you want to write a fix-it fic or an everything-goes-to-hell fic, both are brilliant and I will seriously love you forever.
I prefer fics that explore getting together and pre-existing relationships to ones that have break-ups, and characters solving problems by working together and actually communicating with each other are the ones I tend to like the most. I like dark humour, sass and sarcasm, and strong characters that aren't afraid of getting what they want (even if they don't know quite what that is yet).
Thank you again, Mystery Author. I hope you enjoy writing for me, and that some part of my enthusiastic rambling resonates with you.
Much love,
Evandar
