Dear Crossovering Writer
Dear Crossovering Author--
I’m so excited to be doing this again! I’m sure whatever you write will be amazing and I’m looking forward to reading it. I’ve done a lot of exchanges, so feel free to poke around on my LJ for old letters for things like very specific things I like and don’t like.
I'm Diaphenia on AO3.
For such a broad exchange, I’m not going to put a huge amount of restrictions so feel free to go a little wild. I’d ask that you avoid these three things: kids (obviously canon children are fine, but background them), kink (I’m sort of weird and picky, so I’d rather not even go there) or major OCs (not my bag).
There’s a ton of stuff I love, like tropes, ensemble fic, found families, banter, flirting. I like shippy fic and gen equally, and I tend to ship canon pairings (with a major side of non-canon f/f).
I’m listing these in groups as the form says, but if you see a fandom in one request that you think would be great with a fandom in another request, feel free to play mix or match. I’m equally cool with fusions or crossovers, and I’m not too concerned with the logic of the thing, so if you want to put Cersei and Katniss in a modern day high school together, that’s fine. Equally fine is sticking them both in space. But if you want to Cersei in the Hunger Games or Katniss in King’s landing, that sounds amazing as well. Have fun, is the point. Also, while I’m not requesting either, I’m always down for characters in Hogwarts or a mythology-based story or a fairy tale, though I don’t want to read fic about Harry and Persephone (... at least, probably not). I’m also throwing down some prompts, but they are just prompts to help you. Please feel free to ignore them entirely and go with your idea if something strikes you.
Also, as a note, while I am requesting Game of Thrones (tv) I have not read the books. Feel free to throw in a book-based inside joke, but it’s going to fly over my head.
The musicals
Tangled
Galavant
Crazy Ex Girlfriend
Rapunzel teaches self-defence classes. Flynn and/or Greg and/or Galavant go drinking. Izzy and Rapunzel bond over that whole being-locked-up thing. Rebecca takes lessons in how to seduce men from Madelena. Sid and Josh work out together. Gareth likes them full figured and meets Paula.
Music is, of course, optional.
The Chaos Theory Group
All State
Progressive
Crazy Ex Girlfriend
So, Rebecca is overly influenced by butter commercials, as you might know. What happens when she starts watching insurance commercials? OR. Flo quits the insurance biz and tries to go into law. OR. Flo and Mayhem, order and disorder, try to make it work (professionally, as a relationship). OR. Mayhem tries to help Rebecca with her boy troubles. OR. Go totally off the wall, add in some magic realism.
There’s a real sense of chaos with Mayhem, and Flo is so well ordered. Rebecca, on the other hand, had a well-ordered life she gave up for uncertainty. This is a fun group that would be delightful in any combination. I think with commercials like this, they can be sort of magic, a little closer to the supernatural, or clearly actors playing characters, or however you want to see them.
The 'There is no theme but this would be bananas' Group
Book of Mormon
Golden Girls
Game of Thrones
The Golden Girls are visited by a nice group of Mormon missionaries. OR. Cersei doesn’t have anything on Blanche. OR. The Mormons try to convert the people of Westeros (pre- or post- Sparrows). OR. Modern AU GoT character goes on a date with a Girl. Olenna joins the Girls for cheesecake, or Nabulungi works with Dany on the business of ruling.
This group would be entertaining in any iteration. Feel free to get dark with Game of Thrones, or stay light if you’d rather.
Thanks for being so cool!
