Dear Everywoman letter
Hello, and thank you for volunteering to create a gift for the Everywoman exchange. I'm delighted that we share similar fandoms and interests and hope that you have fun creating a gift for me.
Don't tell anyone, but the sad truth is that I am super-easy. :) Write a story that you enjoy writing and I'm sure I'll love it and enjoy reading it. In an effort to help, I'll tell you my general likes/dislikes and also give a few prompts for the requested songs.
But above all, have fun. If you find that the suggestions feel like a burden, then ignore them and write something that interests you. True passion shines through and makes a story special.
I like...
angst, UST, longing looks, long-repressed feelings that explode one day, kid fic, roads not taken in canon, zombies, wacky road trips, old friends, handsome strangers, ghost stories, crazy decisions that are right even though they seem so very wrong, 2nd person narratives, porn that reveals more than just naked bodies, unreliable narrators, opening your presents on Christmas Day rather than Christmas Eve, and long deep slow kisses that last three days.
I do not want..
passivity, first-person narration, incest, non-con, non-canon slash, porn without plot, child death or grevious injury, and misusing the words less and fewer.
Friday Night Lights - Write for me about Tami's awesomeness and how she got to be so awesome. Give me three generations of awesome Taylor women and I'll be the happiest girl on the block. I'd love a future fic. How is Gracie Belle's childhood different than Julie's? How's it the same? Or write about Tyra and tell me what happens to her. How many of the dreams in her college application essay come true?
Orange is the New Black - My goodness, how I love the awesome characters in this show. I'd really be happy with anything I'd love a character study of any character. I can't stop thinking about Miss Rosa - was that kid really cured of his cancer? What if he went to visit Miss Rosa? I'd eat up a friendship caper featuring Poussey and anyone. Picking up from where S2 left off, what happens with Nickey and the heroin? What is that like, to have your nemesis/old love right within reach. Or tell me about how Nicky helps Red during her recovery from her injuries. And Daya....tell me about Daya and her baby - what is going to happen to that baby?
Saving Grace - How I miss this show. Tell me about Grace and Rhetta as teenagers. Or give me a girls night out with Grace, Rhetta, and the Captain. Talk to me about Grace's funeral and her afterlife. (She's the perfect second chance angel, don't you think?)
The Big C - I miss this show too. I love Cathy and all her imperfections. I love Andrea and her refusal to give a fuck to the haters. And Marlene - we hardly knew you. I think what I'd like most here is a girl's night out, big on laughs with a refusal to wallow.
