Fandom 5k Letter
Apr. 25th, 2024 09:07 pmDear author,
Thank you so much for my gift in advance! I'm looking forward to reading what you create <3, and I promise that I'll love your fic no matter what. I've included some thoughts for the fandoms I've requested here, but please know that this can just be a starting point and that there's no obligation to include them in your fic. I hope this is helpful in your writing journey!

Mutual Pining | Angst | Complicated Relationships | Hurt/Comfort | Bonding through trauma | Role reversals | Misunderstandings | "what-if" style plots | Slow burn | Intimacy | Plot-based fics | Porn-with-plots (like reading smut as long as it's tagged and not in the DNW section; dub-con should be tagged if included)
General DNW: 1st/2nd person narration | Incest (sibling, parental) | Non-con | Vore | Ageplay | Permanent character death for requested characters | Necrophilia | Food-related kinks | Scat | Mundane AUs | stories that are too fluffy or without any conflict/tension | Porn-without-plots
Buck/Eddie: How do they get together? I would love to see a fic that has a decent amount of angst and pining. Would prefer not to see infidelity. I would especially love a fic that uses elements from canon (the sperm donor storyline, bi!buck, eddie's physical intimacy issues, the shooting/lightening strike/lawsuit, savior baby storyline, etc etc), because the storylines in this show are absolutely insane. HOWEVER, please feel free to combine canon events with whatever tropes you'd like to use. Go wild! I would love to see it no matter what.
Paul/Feyd, Paul/Irulan, Paul/Duncan: I would love a fic centered on worldbuilding and the politics of Dune in any of the pairings or all of them. I'm so fascinated by the parallels between Paul and Feyd and the married life between Irulan and Paul. I'd prefer if there's no Irulan bashing (if that's the right phrase here?). Your fic could be canon-compliant or completely AU, angsty or bittersweet, happy or unhappy.
Brigan/Fire:Would love an exploration of their relationship in general or a character study of either of them. This is another fandom where I would love a lot of pining. This is such a small fandom, so any fic would be a treat. Would love a fic that could be about one of the following: Fire's relationship with her father/beauty/household, Brigan's relationship with his parents/Nash/Archer, a post-war rebuilding fic, a slice of life. But feel free to be creative and do your own thing!
Louis/Lestat and/or Louis/Armand: Would love a fic that expands on whatever they did from Paris to present-day in Dubai, as well as anything that expands on the relationship between the three of them. Love the way Lestat exists as an invisible third in their relationship in the present-day. I don't have a strong preference in terms of endgame.
Would LOVE a future!fic of any of the pairings listed; up to you whether you want to show the decay of an American empire or if you want to show the kids succeeding in a modern media landscape! What happens to Kendall/Shiv/Roman? I feel like there's something to be written here in terms of the fall of online journalism (re: Buzzfeed/Vice/Gawker) and the Roys clinging onto a dying industry, but I will literally take whatever you write, it doesn't necessarily have to be super plotty.
