Dear rarewomen Author:

First up, I'm starting this the same way I start my Yuletide letters:

DON'T PANIC

Seriously, don't panic! I love stories about awesome female characters, and I appreciate you writing one for me! ♥ Also, I'm ridiculously easy to please, if that helps! Not to mention -- this is all optional! \o/ If you read through all of this and decide to disregard it all, that is your choice! And an awesome choice! The really important thing, for me, is this next paragraph, so if you want to disregard everything else, please take this into consideration nonetheless:

The things I would rather not read: major character death, non-con/rape, and misogyny/ableism/racism/homophobia/sizeism/transphobia/etc that isn't present in the source material. That's pretty much it! :D? :D?

Things I like, in general: pining, world-building, AUs, fraught emotions, UST, sci-fi and paranormal shenanigans, adventure, hurt/comfort, plot, friendship, character pieces, happy endings. I am fine with any and all ratings, I love gen and femmeslash and het and slash and pairings that don't fit those labels, and I'm down with all manner of kinks (though in general, I am all about safe, sane, and consensual). Ummmm, what else? I adore fusions but am not really fussy about straight-up crossovers -- I like things set in borrowed worlds, but mixing characters from different sources tends to be hit or miss for me.

Okay, let's see -- request time!

Requests:
Large Fandom: Doctor Who (New)
Women: Sally Sparrow, Jenny (the Doctor's Daughter), Miss Evangelista, Liz X
Optional Details: Sally Sparrow and Jenny are my personal favourites, but a story about any of these ladies would be fantastic! I'd love to see what happens to Sally after Blink, or Jenny's post-regeneration intergalactic shenanigans, or anything at all about Miss Evangelista, or Liz X just being a general badass. Or more than one of these characters thrown together somehow! Seriously, anything at all will make me happy. :D? Please, please, nothing with rape/non-con or non-canonical major character death.

I think the reason I like Sally and Jenny so much is that they end their episodes with so many possibilities ahead of them -- whether that's exploring the cosmos or living a quiet life (unlikely in Jenny's case, I think, but I'd still read and love it!) or absolutely anything. I'd be thrilled with fic about Liz X kicking ass and taking names, or in a more vulnerable moment, or falling in love, or dealing with the aftermath of her episode, or making out with River Song in the royal gallery. :D As for Miss Evangelista, I actually have no solid idea about what I'd like to see -- she's just such a sad character who never gets to be happy, and I felt like the "happy ending" that Moffatt gave us at the end of Forest of the Dead is at best unhappy and at worst really, really creepy, so if you wanted to diverge from the canon a little, I'd be totally okay with that. :D Mostly I just want to see more of her, though, so anything's cool.

Fandom 2 (large or small): Hellboy (comics)
Women: Liz Sherman, Kate Corrigan
Optional Details: Liz is my absolute favourite, but I love Kate, too. I'd prefer something plotty (some sort of occult adventure that wouldn't be out of place in the series), but if character stuff (or PWP!) is more your thing, I'm totally happy with that, too! I've seen all the movies, including the animated ones, so if there's something you'd like to include or reference from them, that's fine. Please, please, nothing with rape/non-con or non-canonical major character death.

Borrowing from my Yuletide letter a little: If you're writing this, I will seriously be happy with whatever you write -- it's an awesome universe with countless possibilities and I would read pretty much every single one of those possibilities. :D I've read lots of the comics, but not all of them, but don't worry about spoilers -- I'm not bothered by them in the slightest. :D I've also seen and enjoyed the Hellboy movies, including the animated ones, if you want to incorporate anything from those (or focus on them instead).

Mostly I'd just love a story that could be from the canon -- I adore all of the team I love occult fiction and folklore and mysteries and adventures, and I love us-against-the-world (or the-world-against-us) friendships/relationships, so this universe pushes all of my buttons.

Fandom 3 (large or small, totally optional): Marvel Comics - Avengers
Women: Janet Van Dyne, Jessica Drew, Carol Danvers, Wanda Maximoff
Optional Details: I ship pretty much everything when it comes to the Avengers. Absolutely everything. If you're writing about Jan, I'd prefer something that doesn't center on her relationship (or ex-relationship) with Hank, though. Ummm, let's see. Jan and Jessica are my favourites; I really enjoy Jessica and Carol's friendship; I think Wanda's really cool and always gets a raw deal in the comics. Please, please, nothing with rape/non-con or non-canonical major character death.

While I do ship all things Avengers, this is the one fandom from my signup where I do have ships I prefer. I like Jan/Thor, Jan/Tony, Jan/Wanda, Jan/Steve, Jessica/Carol, Jessica/Carol/Peter, Wanda/Pietro, Wanda/Steve, and Wanda/Clint -- I would definitely be open to reading about them with other people, though! I'm okay with Jan/Hank, but like I said in my signup, I'd really prefer for the focus not to be on their relationship/former relationship.

I never know how specific I should be in these letters, and again, I will be delighted with whatever you write, but if you're stuck for prompts -- I'd love to see Jan/Thor post-Secret Invasion fix-it fic, and I'd love to see Jessica and Carol on an undercover mission together, and I'd love to see seriously anything about Wanda that has a happy (or at least hopeful) ending.

That's about all I can think of! Seriously, author, I will be happy with anything you do. ♥ Thank you so much! soon! \o/
