dear author (summertime fic exchange)
Helloooo, author.
I know I will love whatever you choose to write, but here are some extra ideas/prompts/feelings that I have about things to help guide you, if you like.
Gossip Girl; Carter/Serena; I am really into fic in which Carter and Serena ruin each other love each other anyway.
I am really into the messiness of this relationship, if that makes sense. They have a mildly shady age difference, shitty timing, and they are both not very good at feelings or at grounding themselves in a single place. I like pre-series fic where Carter sort of corrupts bb!Serena; I am also really into the idea of post-series fic in which Serena just has an endless affair with Carter. I am also always down to have their actual for-real relationship, which was sort of glossed over by the show, explored more. I am also sort of into the rom-com trope of the two of them being in love for ever but being wildly in denial about it for just as long. But these are just some of my shippy thoughts, you can run with them or totally ignore them.
Gossip Girl; Dan/Blair, Dan/Serena, Blair/Serena; I have been having a lot of OT3 feelings lately, so while I am open to angst and the like, I would prefer for everyone to ultimately love everyone.
Obviously you should interpret this prompt however you see fit; the really important thing for me here is that no one is leftover at the end being miserable. Their sort of three-way relationship could formulate post-that-huge-mess-of-a-finale, or it could occur back when they were all kind of fighting (I don't know the exact details since I was not watching at this point), but basically it doesn't seem ludicrous to me for one of them to realize that the solution to their love triangle is sex for everyone. This sort of situation could even develop in s1 or s2. I also am into the idea of Blair and Serena kind of just making Dan their kept man and dragging him around as they traipse about being fabulous. Really, anything is fine; do whatever you like, just please don't make anyone too sad at the end.
Gossip Girl; Dan/Serena; miserable marriage future!fic pls.
Post-series, I think the thing I ship most for GG is Dan/Serena in a horrible, sad marriage that they are desperate to make work. That probably sounds really weird but it's just where I am with this show, okay. I am really into basically anything about their shitty marriage, though I am also into the idea that they'd come out of it all fucked up but eventually be able to form a really good friendship. I am super into the idea of them having babies because they're the characters that want babies the most, and I am also into the two of them co-parenting effectively even if/when they break up. I am also cool with them resigning themselves to their awful marriage For the Sake of the Children and doing everything for their kids their parents never quite managed to do for them. I am very much down for angst with this prompt, but I am also cool with a happy ending.
Orphan Black; Beth, Alison; I am so, so intrigued by Beth and Alison's relationship before Sarah came into the picture (or even before Cosima came into the picture).
I don't have major guidelines for this prompt - I really just want the pre-series world of OB explored, especially in relation to Beth and Ally, so let your imagination run wild with that.
Thank you! :)
