cosmic_llinHello awesome Galentine's Day person! Thank you in advance for writing something for me!
I'm very excited to see what you come up with and I'd be overjoyed to read anything at all in any of the fandoms I've requested, so if you get inspired for something that doesn't match my suggestions, no worries! Do your thing! This is all just to help you if you want stuff to go on.
Here are some things I like in general:
* Female friendships, family and working relationships, woman being awesome singly and in pairs or groups
* Femslash, anywhere on the scale from chaste to scorching
* Character pieces, back story, finding out what makes characters tick
* All the women in the show go to a bar-type stories
* Shenanigans, running around having adventures, silly costumes, disguises
* Characters bonding or discovering themselves through learning and teaching
* Romance, cuteness, people having fun being together or falling in love, friends with benefits without awkwardness
* Happy fic, sad fic that's not too sad (ie nothing that's completely unrelentingly miserable all the way through), bittersweet fic, silly fic
Things I'm less keen on:
* I'd prefer not to see strong violence depicted in detail, although fight scenes are fun if they're not too graphic.
* I'd prefer non-con, dub-con and abuse (of all kinds) not to form a large part of the story, but I have no problem with it being alluded to if it's necessary to the plot.
* I'd prefer not to see difficult/hostile mother-daughter relationships.
Star Trek: The Next Generation
I love all the women in this show - seriously there's nobody you could write about and disappoint me - but some of my favourites are Deanna Troi, Kate Pulaski, Beverly Crusher, Guinan, Lwaxana Troi, Tasha Yar... I'd love friendship or femslash for any combination of the above (except no Troi/Troi). I'd love to see: Deanna and Tasha explore their different kinds of femininity together; Deanna and Kate work together to help a patient or spend downtime together; Lwaxana and Guinan hang out. Also I'd love to see a story about Beverly growing up with her grandmother, Deanna encountering Commander Toreth again, or Deanna's upbringing on Betazed.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Again, I love everyone. Dax/Kira is always a safe bet, as is friendship for them. I love Kira and Lupaza together, especially as a kind of big sister-little sister dynamic. I'd be interested to read something about Kira remembering Lupaza's mentoring of her as she mentors Ziyal in turn. I'd love love love to see Keiko and Jadzia actually hang out and bond over science or fashion or parenting or anything. I also love Kira and Keiko, Kira and Kasidy, and anything about all the ladies on the station hanging out.
Also if you're in the mood to cross over with Voyager, I'm very partial to Seven/Sarina Douglas - they're both super-smart but socially inexperienced with traumatic pasts, and I think they could be sweet together!
Star Trek: Voyager
Janeway is my favourite but I love everyone! I ship Janeway/B'Elanna (easily exciteable ladies bonding over engineering) and Janeway/Kes (Kes is one of the few people not in the Starfleet chain of command, and she has the strength of will to stand up to Janeway when she needs telling what's what) and I also love those both as friendships. I'd love an AU story where Kes stayed and helped Seven adjust. I'd love anything with Janeway mentoring Seven (I don't ship it though). Seven and Naomi Wildman hanging out is adorable, and also I'd love to see more about Sam Wildman and how she feels about parenting on Voyager. Also I'd love to see Kes and B'Elanna relate to each other, there was far too little of that on the show.
Warehouse 13
Once again you really can't go wrong. I ship Myka/HG and I'd love to see anything about how Myka relates to HG as a person and as an author and historical figure or how HG deals with life and relationships in the future. I'd love to see them have adventures together. I love the friendship between Myka and Claudia and the mentorship between Claudia and Mrs F, anything about either would rock. I'd love to see Mrs F and Jane talk about their relationships to the Warehouse. I'd love to find out more about Leena and Mrs F, in fact I'd love fic about Leena and any of the other women on the show.
Have fun! :D
