Not Prime Time 2013
Dear ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
not_primetime writer:
Thank you so much for writing me a fic! Whatever you end up writing, I'm sure I'll love it, especially since it features one of my favourite female characters. If you don't want a whole lot of extra details, or if you already have an idea in mind, feel free to stop reading now and go with that, but I love talking about the things I love, so I've done that here. A lot.
I enjoy het, femslash, and gen. I love ensemble fics, banter, makeouts, unresolved (and resolved) sexual tension, romantic comedy, action/adventure, wacky hijinks, humour, crack, PWPs, apocafic, and ridiculous AUs. In general, I'm not super into angst, and I prefer fics where characters interact with people and do things over introspective character studies. I really, really, love tropes and clichés, and totally ridiculous, over the top plots, the more shameless the better - if you're ever wondering, does she want fic with pretending to be a couple/forced proximity/sharing a bed/bachelor auction/truth or dare/accidental makeouts/insert ridiculous cliché here, the answer is yes, yes I do. I love first times, and secret relationships, and casual hookups, and ex-girlfriends and boyfriends, and rekindling old relationships. I love people being in love without having to say it, and people who are obviously in love but maybe don't realise it, and ridiculously overblown romantic gestures where one person completely embarrasses themselves, and small gestures that mean a whole lot more than they seem to. Most of all, I love characters who are genuinely really into each other - as friends, or as more than that. I'm happy to read any rating, and smut is welcome but absolutely not necessary.
Batman (Comics) (Stephanie Brown)
Stephanie Brown is the comics character of my heart, and basically what I want is anything about her ever. I have a strong preference for Batgirl-era Steph, though if you wanted to go way back and write Robin!Steph, I would be totally cool with that, as long as there's none of the part where everybody tells her she sucks and then Batman fires her. I love, love Batgirl!Steph, though, and what I would love most of all is more of that - the series ended far too soon, and there are so many adventures I would still love to see her have (anything from the end of the last issue would be amazing to read about, as would anything you can come up with on your own). I'm also totally cool with AUs and/or crossovers with other DC properties - what about the universe where Steph is a Green Lantern? The one where she's Nightwing? Where she's part of a team who love her and aren't jerks? Really, I just want lots and lots of Steph, so write anything about her at all and you can't possibly go wrong.
COMICS CHARACTER OF MY HEART <3 <3 <3. I love everything about her, from her self-deprecating sense of humour to her constant struggle with gravity to the way she's still atoning for the past to her love of waffles. And I really, really love the way she finally grows into herself as a hero as Batgirl and has the confidence to own the mantle, even if she's not perfect and knows she still has a lot to learn. BUT SERIOUSLY SHE IS SO GREAT, AND I WANT ANYTHING WHERE SHE IS GREAT.
Also, please feel free to bring in as many supporting characters from various places as you'd like - if it's got Steph in it, I've read it. As far as pairings go, I am really, really into Dick/Steph, so, I mean, if you wanted to write that, I would just have HEARTS IN MY EYES, nbd. Like maybe they ran into each other again/teamed up together while he was Batman? Or after he went back to being Nightwing - if you want to pretend the cancellation and/or reboot never happened and Steph is still totally Batgirl, I will live with you in that universe. Or maybe just pick any trope ever out of a hat and write that, I bet that would be awesome. I could also be totally into Bruce/Steph in a dirtybadwrong d/s kind of way if that is at all your thing; if it isn't, I would also be really, really into some Bruce&Steph genfic, because I always loved the few times they teamed up in canon, and because I really just want him to approve of and be nice to her and not be a complete jerk, which is unfortunately asking a lot sometimes. I also really enjoyed Steph's flirtation with Gage in Batgirl, so if you'd like to write something about that (especially if you changed the way it ended/eliminated the whole love triangle aspect), I would eat that up. And if you wanted to write a fic where Steph teams up with pretty much any other DC character - especially if you wanted to throw her into a team - that would be amazing. As will anything you end up writing.
Teen Titans (Comics) (Rose Wilson)
Rose is another of my very favourite comics characters ever - I guess I have a thing for blondes with supervillain dads who nobody really believes can or should be superheroes. I love her attitude and her general badassery and the way she's combative and rage-y and sometimes struggles with being a superhero. I love how she flirts with basically everyone. I love how she started off as a bad guy trying to be her dad, and, yeah, sometimes she has a hard time not killing people. But she's trying. I particularly love pre-reboot Rose and her place in the Teen Titans, and her appearance in the Renegade arc of Nightwing was also super amazing, so anything set in either of those eras would be particularly fantastic.
Okay, so: I know Rose was super messed up and not really herself during the whole 'trying to be her dad' era, but HER EYE <3 <3 <3 I KNOW IT'S MESSED UP BUT IT'S POSSIBLY MY FAVOURITE THING ABOUT HER. Because she's a badass and she has a ridiculous family background she's super messed up because of it, and all of that is so integral to who she is and I love every bit of it. ALSO THE RENEGADE ARC, ALL SHE NEEDS IS FOR SOMEBODY TO VALUE HER AND HAVE FAITH IN HER CUE DICK GRAYSON, BEST HUMAN. Basically TOTALLY OPTIONAL but if you wanted to have her team up with Dick in any way (with or without makeouts) that would be totally amazing.
I'd also love anything about Rose on her own, or with the Teen Titans (or teaming up with Damian again, because they make such a fantastic team, adorable angry ex-assassins represent!). In particular, I loved Rose's budding friendship/relationship/whatever with Kon towards the end of Teen Titans, so if you wanted to explore more of that relationship (again, with or without makeouts), or even just have them interact at all, I would be 100% okay with that. HE GAVE HER THE KEY TOHIS HEART KILLING HIM. I also love the whole team in its various incarnations, so ensemble fic would be amazing also, as would pretty much anything where Rose fights crime or does anything ever. And if you wanted to write an AU - where Rose becomes Nightwing's sidekick, where she joins the Batfamily, where she's a member of a completely different team - I would not at all object to that.
Wizards of Waverly Place (Justin Russo/Alex Russo)
I would really love Justin/Alex shippy fic for this, but if incest squicks you, I totally understand; Justin and Alex genfic, or ensemble fic, would be just as welcome. I love the show a lot, so something in that vein, with humour and implausible situations and wacky magical hijinks, would be fantastic, but I'd also love any kind of fic, from action/adventure quests to cracky AU to angsty apocafic. I love the extended cast, so fic featuring some of them would be all kinds of awesome (and I particularly love Max, who I find ridiculously endearing at all times). And more than anything, I love the relationship between Justin and Alex, whether in a regular sibling-y way or not, and I love them being at the centre of each other's worlds, even if they'd never admit it.
Okay, so the thing is, I love Justin/Alex, in a shippy way, a lot, but maybe even more than that, I love their family dynamic. So, even if you pair them up - which I am obviously not at all opposed to - I'd rather you not mess with that too much; more than anything, if you can manage it, I love fics where they're just Justin and Alex, the same way they always are, only sometimes they make out a little. If you're not writing Justin/Alex, I'd rather receive genfic than fic that focuses on other pairings; while I have nothing against the canon pairings, and even really like some of them, they're not really what I want to read about. I'd particularly love anything set during the series' ongoing run, or before/during/after the movie; I'm not overly interested in fic set way in the future (slightly post-series is fine), but if that's what you want to write, go for it. And I'm not at all opposed to crack, or to the generous overuse of tropes and clichés, but serious fic is cool, too.
Some (but by no means all) of my favourite things: Justin and Alex at WizTech, Justin and Alex on epic adventures together, Justin and Alex saving (or maybe accidentally destroying) the world, Justin and/or Alex screwing something up and having to fix it together, Justin and Alex being thrown together for any reason at all.
Teen Wolf (Jackson Whittemore/Lydia Martin)
JACKSON AND LYDIA, I SHIP THEM SO MUCH. I just - I know their relationship is not totally consistent as portrayed in the show, whatever, I don't care. I love how Jackson's storyline in season two turned out to be basically all about Lydia. I love how she cares about him (and he secretly cares about her) even when they're not together. I love how Jackson had an identity crisis that literally turned him into a monster and then Lydia cured him with the POWER OF LOVE. And most of all, I love the way their relationship works in my head, where they're both pretty terrible people sometimes but their relationship is this weirdly steady and functional thing underneath all their surface ~stuff, and I would love, love, to see anything in that vein at all.
Lydia is my absolute favourite character, and Jackson is - well, Jackson. BUT SOMEHOW HE IS ALSO SUPER ENDEARING TO ME? IDK he's such a dick sometimes (okay, all the time), especially to Lydia, but then the season one finale happened and he ran screaming with her in his arms, and then season two happened and JACKSON TURNED INTO A LITERAL MONSTER BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW WHO HE WAS, except who is is apparently Lydia's boyfriend, problem solved! The season two finale is my life, basically, and I'm devastated we'll never get to see what could have happened next between them; what I would love to see is how their relationship could have progressed in season three, after all their issues have been worked out and Jackson finally has what he wants and, IDK, I just keep picturing it like Jackson is still this huge asshole to absolutely everyone except Lydia, and nobody really gets their relationship at all because they're terrible (or at least Jackson is), but whatever, they get it and they get each other and despite all the surface dysfunction of pretty much everyone in this show their relationship just somehow works. OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T HAVE TO WRITE EXACTLY THAT, I'm just saying, that's pretty much how it works in my head.
Really, though, I would love just about anything that has Jackson/Lydia in it. Together in season one, reuniting in season two, hooking up totally without context, finding out about werewolves, totally ignoring the fact that werewolves exist, whatever. Action, adventure, comedy, drama, horror, AU - whatever you feel like writing, I will love, as long as it has Jackson and (especially) Lydia being inexplicably amazing in it. I'm super fond of the entire ensemble (especially Scott, who is a close second favourite), and I'm cool with plot/no plot/ridiculous shenanigans. I'd be happy with any kind of genre, and I'm okay with background relationships but I'd prefer not a huge focus on them/sticking to canon relationships.
