You Can Do That in Fanfiction!
Jun. 19th, 2016 02:06 pmI'm fairly new to exchanges. I fully accept that I might be crap at this, but I'm going to try my best. Feel free to ignore anything in this except for my DNWs; I have a wide variety of tastes and might enjoy anything you write. I'm not picky.
Hard Do Not Wants:
- Explicit sex.
- Gore
- Stuff centered along romantic relationships.
- Endless angst; some resolution or happiness would be nice.
- Wildly ooc characters (unless it's deliberate crackfic).
- Fluff
- Darkfic
- plot and worldbuilding
- Non-romantic relationships, healthy or not.
- character studies involving how a character's past shaped their decisionmaking.
- badass women
Avatar: the Last Airbender
I love this show. The worldbuilding, the themes, the character arcs... Anything focusing on their lives not during the war would be nice.
Zuko: Zuko has one of the most realistic and amazing arcs in the entire series, which also makes him one of my favorite characters. Admittedly, he's more like the favorite teddy bear with stuffing hanging out than the treasured baby doll, but I still love him. He tries so hard to live up to various people's expectations and fails so badly most of the time. All of the angst and hurt/(comfort optional).
Dealing with issues as firelord
- More of Zuko as a child
- Zuko gets kidnapped and has to be rescued by someone else.
- Zuko gets kidnapped and has to save himself.
- Her training before the war
- Her life after the war
- What happened while she was in prison?
- raising Zuko
- having to deal with Lu Ten's death
- trying to be a good person in general
trying to keep her skills secret from her parents
her life during and after the war
Steven Universe
Another show that balances fluffy kid stuff and darkness. Things featuring the gems not having issues but subcriptions would be greatly appreciated.
Amethyst: I like her because she acts and looks exactly how she wants to be, even if others don't approve.
- finding her at the Kindergarten
- her life before meeting the other Crystal Gems
- her feelings surrounding Rose's death
Garnet: another "I'm exactly how I want to be" character.
- her internal dialogue between Ruby and Sapphire
- learning to be a leader
- futurevision
Ruby: I love this little square of anger, though I'm unsure why.
- dealing with being separated from Sapphire
- fighting
Sapphire:
- learning to control her powers
- using her futurevision
Pearl: Pearl deals with a lot of self-confidence and anxiety issues, which I get. She really cares about Steven and is really interesting when she's put aside her issues, admitted her feelings, or found an immediate goal. Her engineering is also quite cool.
- repercussions from the Sardonyx incident
- dealing with Amethyst
- trying to be a good mother to Steven while still mourning Rose.
Connie: I love her character arc. She's a bookish girl who also gets to be extraordinarily badass and a major supporting character in her own right. I especially like that while she is a bookworm, reading and school aren't her only interests.
- repercussions from Nightmare Hospital
- just being geeky
- fighting my Steven's side in a battle
Lapis Lazuli: Lapis is really interesting because her offscreen character arc shifts her alignment so radically; she goes from not caring about earth at all to sacrificing herself to protect it (and Steven), and we don't really get to see how she got from Point A to Point B.
- her time in the mirror
- her life before she got trapped in the mirror
- adjusting to life on Earth
Ouran High School Host Club
I don't really have prompts for this. Sorry. My friends got me to watch it on a dare and I loved it. It's really funny and original. I really like Haruhi (me and competent female characters) and the twins (they give me a Weasley vibe). On an incredibly cracky crossover/AU note, the tins and the Weasley twins interacting would be hilarious.
