If you like superheroes (and especially if you like hero/villain relationships) let me recommend the gift I got for this year's Chocolate Box Gift Exchange. "Villainous Tendencies", by MagicaDraconia16, is a delightful conversation between a retired hero and a reformed villain who, however attached they may be to one another, still cannot quite throw off the past. Short but very cute.

The story i wrote, "The Doctors Pierce", is a M*A*S*H story. My recipient, tjs_whatnot, is a big Hawkeye fan, and requested any of several gen pairings, including Hawkeye and his father.

I angled a bit to be assigned to them so that I could write a sequel to "Crabapple Cove", which I wrote for last year's retrotvexchange. However, the connection between the two stories is more a matter of head canon. "Crabapple Cove" covered the first days of Hawkeye's return; "The Doctors Pierce" takes place in the New Year, when Hawkeye has more or less settled in to working with his father in the family practice. It can certainly be read as a stand-alone.

Winter features largely in the story; so, for the webpage, I picked a main background of snowy branches, with only a touch of gilded green in the frame around the text.

First, let me thank you for writing me a story in one of the fandoms we share. I'm excited about all of them.


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 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 a serious story with comic interludes.


• No second person fic, please. First person is okay, especially 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.

First, let me thank you for writing me a story in one of the fandoms we share. I'm excited about all of them.


GENERAL POINTS:

• I love worldbuilding and character pieces—stories that explore more deeply—through backstory, or by elaborating the setting/history/culture or exploring people's motivations and personal interactions.


• I prefer gen, unless otherwise specified. However, I don't care for anything more than PG-13: explicit sexual detail is definitely a DNW for me. For pairings, my tastes are pretty vanilla.

First, let me thank you for writing me a story in one of the fandoms we share. I'm excited about all of them.


REQUESTS:

Forever Knight (Nicholas Knight & Natalie Lambert, Nicholas Knight & Lucien LaCroix, Nicholas Knight & Don Schanke)

I love the cop aspect of the series; so perhaps Schanke as Nick's partner or Natalie as pathologist. Or Natalie as Nick's "doctor", searching for a cure (especially if you focus on the science rather than her nagging him to stop drinking blood). If you write about Nick and LaCroix, then either an incident in their centuries' long history, or a tale set at the Raven.

I prefer not to have characters die in the story; but references to canonical deaths are okay. DNW second person fic. Any other characters you want to include would be fine. Do feel free to ignore "Last Knight" if you want.

The Flash (TV 2014) (Barry Allen/Leonard Snart, Cisco Ramon & Caitlin Snow)

Cisco and Caitlin are the core of Flash's back-up team. Maybe their perspective back in the Cortex while he's off saving the day? Or some off-duty friendship chat; or maybe backstory before the Particle Acclerator explosion when Star Labs was a busy research site.

For ColdFlash, I like snarky banter during heists and other meet-ups, fix-it fic (no way is Snart dead!), and ethical dilemmas about their CSI/thief relationship.

DNW soulmates, A/B/O, mpreg, wingfic, genderswap, kidfic. I prefer not to have characters die in the story; but references to canonical deaths are okay. DNW second person fic. Any other characters you want to include would be fine.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow (Mick Rory & Leonard Snart)

The friendship between Mick and Len is often tense, but always works out in the end. Perhaps a scene on board the Waverider before the Oculus explosion? Or backstory: when they were teenagers, pulling early jobs, in jail, or before they started working together again in The Flash. I like snarky banter, fix-it fic (no way is Len dead!), and ethical dilemmas.

DNW soulmates, A/B/O, mpreg, wingfic, genderswap, kidfic. I prefer not to have characters die in the story; but references to canonical deaths are okay. DNW second person fic. Any other characters you want to include would be fine.
