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.


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. 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 fine. (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 (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.

Biggles series - W.E. Johns (James "Biggles" Bigglesworth, Erich von Stalhein, Ship: James "Biggles" Bigglesworth & Bertie Lissie, Algy Lacey, Ship: Ginger Hebblethwaite & Algy Lacey & Bertie Lissie, Ship: Ginger Hebblethwaite & Bertie Lissie, Ship: James "Biggles" Bigglesworth/Erich von Stalhein) — fan fiction, Treat

The Biggles books span a hefty chunk of the 20th century, from World War I to the 1960s; which time period you prefer to write about is up to you. However, I have a soft spot for the WWI period, not just because of the authenticity of the flying scenes but also because of the all too believable shift in Biggles himself from a daring, gallant, and very young hero to a tired, burnt-out veteran. At the other end of his active career, he became leader of a team of special service police officers during the Cold War. I find the close friendship among the colleagues with whom he shares digs to be very appealing. Especially fascinating also is his evolving relationship with Erich von Stalhein as they "bury the hatchet" of their antagonism, ultimately becoming friends.

I don't like anything more than PG13: explicit sexual detail is definitely a DNW for me. DNW crossovers or AUs (except canon divergence). DNW first- or second-person fic. Holiday fic is fine, but DNW actual supernatural activity. I'm fine with having original characters murdered in casefic or killed in battle; and references to canonical deaths are okay. However, DNW any requested characters dying in the story. Feel free to include canonical characters who weren't nominated if you want.

The Charioteer - Mary Renault (Mrs Timmings, Sandy Reid, Jepson, Bim, Gareth Straike, Lucy Odell Straike, Laurie Odell, Alec Deacon, Neames, Aunt Olive) — fan fiction, either Trick or Treat

I'd like a seasonal story. Halloween wasn't commonly celebrated in the south of England at the time this book is set. However, if you want to include Halloween, I'm sure you can contrive something plausible. Alternatively, you could write about Guy Fawkes Night (or the lack thereof, in war time). If you prefer not to write holiday fic, an autumn setting would be fine, especially if you work in appropriate wartime references.

Either tricks or treats could have a spooky element, such as ghosts, premonitions, bad dreams, or superstition; but I'd prefer this to be atmospheric. DNW actual supernatural activity. If you prefer something more realistic, there's the horror of an air raid.

I prefer gen-type plots; but I'm not asking you to ignore canon relationships, since they're integral to the book. However, 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 second person fic. Epistolary fic is okay.

DC's Arrowverse (Leonard Snart, Mick Rory, Ship: Barry Allen/Leonard Snart, Ship: Barry Allen & Leonard Snart, Ship: Leonard Snart & Lewis Snart & Lisa Snart, Ship: Shawna Baez & Mark Mardon & Hartley Rathaway & Mick Rory & Leonard Snart & Lisa Snart, Ship: Cisco Ramon & Hartley Rathaway) — fan fiction, either Trick or Treat

Perhaps my biggest regret about The Flash was the diminished significance of the various members of Flash's Rogues Gallery. They were always been a distinctive crew; and I'd love to see any or all of them, with or without Flash himself.

For the Rogues, 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; and I'd love a Halloween story.

Alternatively, a story about the rivalry between Cisco and Hartley, whether during the show or back when they both worked at S.T.A.R. Labs. These two guys have so much in common, yet simply have to snark at each other.

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.

Forever Knight (Screed, Don Schanke, Tracy Vetter, Nick Knight, Natalie Lambert, Javier Vachon) — 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.

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: (Supervillain undercover in a superhero team, Superhero undercover in a supervillain team, Unwilling Superhero Who Just Wants a Quiet Life, Non-Powered Liaison for Superhero Team, Ship: Supervillain who helps Hero Team in Emergency/Superhero Team Member (M/M), Ship: Desperate Supervillain Whose Life is in Danger/Superhero They Go to for Help (M/M), Ship: Retired Superhero/Their Villain Nemesis Who Keeps Seeking Them Out (M/M), Ship: Closeted Gay Male Superhero & Homophobic Male Team Mate, Ship: Retired Supervillain/Their Hero Nemesis Who Keeps Seeking Them Out (M/M), Ship: Desperate Superhero Whose Life is in Danger/Supervillain They Go to for Help (M/M), Ship: Male Superhero in Civilian ID/Male Supervillain in Civilian ID) — 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 (prefer romance or established relationship). 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, Bob, Nigel Marven) — fan fiction, either Trick or Treat; but art would be great for an extra gift

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.
