Sutcliff Swap - Dear Author Letter
Thank you for drawing/writing my request. I really hope you have fun with it, enjoying the prompts you received. I provided them because I understand they can be helpful. If you prefer to write something different, I am sure I will enjoy that too.
Requests
I've included fanart within my request as well as fanfic. My requests would be somewhat different for art than fic.
Dawn Wind
Fic: What about Lilla's life after Owain leaves? Or what about years later: do Lilla and Regina ever meet?
Art: Frey's Horse as a foal with Owain. Or Frey's Horse throwing Vadir. If horse-art doesn't appeal, how about a picture of Lilla and her siblings
Sword at Sunset
Fic: I'd like a glimpse of Bedwyr and Guenhumara after they leave Artos. Something about Levin; he is the one who heroically makes it through with a plea for help in that bad winter. We see so little of him though; we know he is in a committed gay relationship and is bereaved after his partner dies. But other than that we really know nothing. What draws him to Artos? What does he think of Artos and Guenhumara (does he see more than the rest?). What keeps him going after the death of his lover? What makes him decide to go for help? What about that last journey?
Art: Bedwyr with harp in the final battle in the novel (perhaps losing his harp?) Or Lewin on the journey.
Mark of the Horse Lord
Fic: Gault - he was a kingmaker of a king who sacrificed himself for the tribe. How does he feel about that afterwards? I had a lovely Gault story one year and it has wetted my appetite for more!
Art: In my mind's eye, Gault's is a face of character rather than particularly handsome. And I see him scowling at lot.
Outcast
Fic: If possible, I'd like to see something of Justinius' professional life before Beric joins him.
Art: The draining of the marsh.
Examples of stories I have written within can be found at A03: http://archiveofourown.org/users/fawatson/works.
What I like:
• I like stories that are character-driven and also those that are plot-driven (though I prefer the former), but as long as something is well-written I usually like anything (so I suggest you just opt for what you like to write).
• I have no preference about the story being serious or humorous; I think that sort of decision is best left to the author. Witty repartee in dialogue does appeal regardless of whether the theme of the story is serious or funny.
• I generally prefer stories that are true to canon, but occasionally do enjoy a well-written AU.
• Although I rarely write sexually explicit stories, I have no objection to reading them. However, I prefer any sex to develop logically from the plot or exploring some aspect of character development.
