First, let me thank you for writing me a story in one of the fandoms we share. I'm excited about all of them. They're listed in alphabetical order, so as not to play favourites.
I'm also greerwatson on AO3. Treats are enabled. Holiday fic is fine.

I'm also greerwatson on AO3. Treats are enabled. Holiday fic is fine.
GENERAL POINTS:
- I love stories that explore canon more deeply, whether through backstory, or elaborating the setting/history/culture, or exploring people's motivations and personal interactions.
- I prefer gen (unless requesting a / relationship). DNW non-canon relationships unless requested. I'm not asking you to ignore canon relationships; but please don't make them the focus of the story. I don't care for anything more than PG-13: explicit sexual detail is definitely a DNW for me.
- I love casefic; and, more generally, I like stories that are canon-compliant. The general exception to this is ignoring canonical character death if you want. Canon-divergent AUs are also okay. (There may be other specific exceptions.)
- I'm okay with violence if necessary to the story; but not gore for the sake of gore. On the whole, I prefer not to have characters die in the story; but references to canonical deaths are okay. (I'm fine with having original characters murdered in casefic, and that sort of thing.)
- I enjoy comedy—being able to recognize the ridiculous when it pops up; also wit and wordplay. Having said that, I totally leave it up to you whether you write a serious or comic story or, for that matter, a serious story with comic interludes.
- No second-person fic, please. First person is definitely okay for book canons that were written that way by the author. However, I don't generally care for it with TV fandoms. Epistolary fic is fine.
REQUESTS:
These are the same as in my sign-up.
The Big Bang Theory (Sheldon Cooper, Rajesh Koothrappali, Howard Wolowitz, Leonard Hofstadter) — fan fiction, either Trick or Treat
The Big Bang Theory is an equal-opportunity satire—humorously rude about nerd culture, girly girls, parents, and university departments. Every one of the characters is wildly different; no one is even remotely perfect; and each has a chance to be the one who's obviously right, at least now and then. Also, there's Sheldon. Usually wrong, at least about all the details of RL, he nevertheless has that "out of the mouths of babes" capacity to skewer everybody's else's assumptions.
Basically, I'd like more of the same—perhaps futurefic set a year or so after the series ends, or hijinks and humour in the style of the early seasons. If you prefer backstory, I'd like a closer look at the early days of Howard and Rajesh's bromance. (How about that couples therapy that was hinted at?) Please feel free to include Penny, Amy, and/or Bernadette—indeed, any of the regular supporting characters from the show, including parents.
I don't like anything more than PG13: explicit sexual detail is definitely a DNW for me. I don't want any of the series regulars, their families, or recurring characters to die in the story; but references to canonical deaths are fine. DNW AUs or crossovers. DNW first- or second-person fic. Holiday fic is fine.
DC's Arrowverse (Barry Allen, Cisco Ramon, Leonard Snart, Mick Rory, Hartley Rathaway, Lashawn "Shawna" Baez, Ship: Shawna Baez & Mark Mardon & Hartley Rathaway & Mick Rory & Leonard Snart & Lisa Snart, Ship: Leonard Snart & Lewis Snart & Lisa Snart, Ship: Nate Heywood & Ray Palmer, Ship: Mick Rory & Lita, Ship: Ray Palmer & Zari Tomaz | Zari 1.0) — fan fiction, either Trick or Treat
On the whole, I see Legends of Tomorrow as an ensemble. As such, I like to see the interaction between the crew as a whole. Zari is perhaps my favourite of the newer characters, especially in her first persona; I enjoy Mick with any/all the crew and would be interested in seeing more of him with his daughter; and I love the bromance between Ray and Nate. Feel free to include any of the other crew members.
Perhaps my biggest regret about The Flash since Season One has been the diminished significance of the various members of Flash's Rogues Gallery. They've always been a distinctive crew; and I'd love to see any or all of them, with or without Flash himself. My preference would be a story about the Rogues at Halloween. Could be a heist, get-together at Saints and Sinners, personal time, etc. If you want to include Barry, I like ColdFlash (esp. the snarky tease), but would prefer the emphasis to be on character interaction. Humour would be great. (However, if you don't want to work Halloween into the story, that's okay.)
DNW AUs (apart from the Rogues as a group not being TV canon), but feel free to retcon Len's death. I don't like anything more than PG-13: explicit sexual detail is definitely a DNW for me. I prefer not to have characters die in the story; but references to canonical deaths are okay. DNW first or second person fic. Holiday fic is fine.
Forever Knight (Don Schanke, Janette DuCharme, Javier Vachon, Screed, Urs, Natalie Lambert, Nick Knight, Feliks Twist, Tracy Vetter, Lucien LaCroix) — fan fiction, either Trick or Treat
Casefic is always a treat; and I enjoy ensemble stories, both in terms of the detective story plots and the interplay at the station/morgue. An alternative ensemble might involve vampire characters, set at the Raven. If you prefer to focus on an individual, perhaps family/personal life/backstory (for human characters), or history/backstory (for the vampires). By all means include someone who wasn't nominated if you want. I like all three seasons equally.
Basically, I'm pretty easy on what you write, though my preference is for gen. DNW any rating higher than PG13, please. I prefer not to have requested characters die in the story; but references to canonical deaths are okay. I'm fine with having original characters murdered in casefic, and that sort of thing. Holiday fic is fine.
I'm not interested in AUs. However, feel free to ignore "Last Knight" if you want.
Availability: Most of the series is available on DVD, and some episodes are on YouTube. There's a Forever Knight wiki, if you just want to check details.
Original Work: (Unpowered Reporter Who Looks Like Well-Known Supervillain, Unpowered Reporter Who Looks Like Well-Known Superhero, Rookie Superhero Struggling to Control His Powers, Gay Male Superhero with Crush on Happily Married Male Teammate, Unwilling Superhero Who Just Wants a Quiet Life, Non-Powered Liaison for Superhero Team, Ship: Superhero/Their Unpowered Spouse Who Just Wishes They'd Quit, Ship: Superhero & Supervillain Who Are Unwitting Roommates in their Civilian IDs, Ship: Closeted Gay Superhero & Homophobic Team Mate) — fan fiction, either Trick or Treat
Any or all! Mix'n'match. Combine prompts, if that tickles your fancy. Seriously, enjoy yourself.
I prefer gen, and love worldbuilding and character interaction. Nothing more than PG13, please. Maybe a little higher for violence, but no gore. Please keep any romance in the background (e.g established couples, families). DNW sexual activity in the story. I prefer not to have main characters die; but I'm okay with deaths of victims in casefic and the like. DNW first or second person. Holiday fic is fine.
Prehistoric Park: (Suzanne McNabb, Bob Arthur, Nigel Marven) — fan fiction, either Trick or Treat
Dinosaurs! Or mammoths, trilobites, or what have you. Obviously, what I'd really like is the resurrection of the series and six more episodes. Realistically, you're writing me fan fiction, so I couldn't expect more than a single time trip and/or a bit back at the park. Your choice of time period, of course; but I would prefer an era that is as-yet-unvisited. Not the near past: my interest counts "past" in the tens (if not hundreds) of millions of years.
Canon-compliant gen, please. DNW any pairing involving the requested characters. I prefer not to have canon characters die in the story; but references to canonical deaths are okay. DNW first- or second-person fic. DNW screenplay or transcription formats.
WKRP in Cincinnati (Andy Travis, Arthur Carlson, Bailey Quarters, Gordon Sims | Venus Flytrap, Johnny "Fever" Caravella, Les Nessman) — fan fiction, either Trick or Treat
This is very much an ensemble show, so feel free to include any of the nominated characters (but not nominated ships). My ideal fic would be something like an actual episode, i.e. exploring their friendships, irritations, rivalries, and basic decency, maybe through shenanigans of some sort at the station.
I prefer canon-compliant gen stories; but I'm fine with the level of flirting you get in canon. I don't like anything more than PG13: explicit sexual detail is definitely a DNW for me. DNW first or second person fic. Holiday fic is fine.
Availability: A number of episodes are available on line.
