corbaeHello, dear Yulewriter!
Thank you for offering one of these fandoms! I can’t wait to read the story you come up with. If you already have an idea for one of these fandoms, go for it! However, if you'd like a prompt then I hope this post helps.
General likes:
I read across all ratings and genres. I love found families, magic based on symbolism, urban fantasy, fairy tales, characters with prickly outsides and marshmallow insides, and characters who are passionate about something, be it baking, music, or saving the world. I have a particular weakness for stories that hurt; I unabashedly love worms!fic ("go into the garden and eat worms"), where the POV character feels isolated and alone and unappreciated but eventually realizes that they're loved. I am a big fan of Belligerent Sexual Tension (warning! link goes to TV Tropes). I generally prefer happy or ambiguous endings to unhappy ones.
General dislikes:
I don't really care for gore in horror but suspense is A-OK. I would strongly prefer your story not contain rape/non-consent, major character death (final death for the vampires), watersports, or scat. I also have a mild-to-moderate embarrassment squick, which can be best described by the motts.
Here's a bit more about my requests, in no particular order.
Wise Child Series - Monica Furlong
Juniper
There's a big time gap between the end of Juniper and the beginning of Wise Child; what happened in between the books to make Juniper the woman she is in Wise Child? I'm also interested in reading more about how magic works in this world (I LOVE symbolism in magic, so these books are good to me). If you want to write more about Juniper's relationship with her family, with Euny, or with Wise Child, that would be great, too.
Sunshine - Robin McKinley
Rae "Sunshine" Seddon
I'd love to read absolutely anything about Sunshine exploring her magic: learning from her grandmother when she was a child, talking things through with Aimil or Yolande, experimenting with magic and baking, investigating her father's side of the family & their heritage, confrontations she has with her mother over magic, or anything else you come up with! I'd also enjoy the chance to see her devise new recipes, any further encounters she has with the SOF, or how she navigates her relationships with Mel and/or Con--basically, whatever you'd most like to write, I'm sure I'll love reading!
Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)
Adam
I would love to hear more about Adam's relationship with music. Who are his favorite artists? Who were his teachers? Which movements has he loved or hated? How does it compare to or contrast with his relationship with science? If music's not your thing, I'd also enjoy reading about his relationships with Eve and Marlowe, their adventures over the years, anything about his life in Detroit, or what happens to him after the end of the film.
Thank you again for your story! As always, optional details are optional. I truly love all of these canons and the characters I nominated and can’t wait to see what you come up with, whether or not it’s based on one of my prompts.
