Aug. 16th, 2018 05:01 pmHi femslashex writer! I'm so sorry that this letter is late! I just lost track of things, but hopefully you're seeing this and seeing it well before the fic deadline. Some of this information is pulled from previous letters I wrote, which you may or may not have read if you came here looking for this letter and it wasn't here. I tend to be a little repetitive in my requests. :) But thank you so much for writing for me, and with no further ado:
KINKS/LIKES
--Strong characterization/characters being written IC
--Hurt/comfort
--Angst
--Humor
--Porn as plot (sex that either advances plot or helps to define characters)
--Plot without porn
SQUICKS/DISLIKES
--Non-con/dub-con (though wrt statutory, I have no problem with kids above 14 or so who are roughly the same age having consensual, healthy sexual relationships)
--Incest
--OOC characterization
--Porn without plot
--Characters being constantly referred to by their hair color (“The blonde looked at the brunette...”) Please, please, just use their names, even if it seems a little repetitive, or come up with some other way of identifying them. /weird pet peeve
--AUs that transplant characters from canon into a completely different setting ("Now the characters from Songcatcher are on a spaceship in the 23rd century...")
-a/b/o and other hard kinks (light d/s is fine)
A Little Princess, Sara/Becky
I reread this book recently and was overcome with longing for femslash fic about these two. The book is so sweet (I'm not much into the movies due to their choice to make Sara's father improbably alive again at the end) and these two are so pure. I didn't list Sara/Anne as a pairing but I'm interested in Anne's story if you cared to include it as well, like maybe Anne revealing her backstory makes Becky think of her own past and confide in Sara about it or something. But she's not a listed character so I'm totally fine with her not being in the fic. Mostly I'm here for the loving, sweet Sara-Becky relationship in the book, with a more fully articulated femslash ring to it. Lastly, I would note that years ago, someone in the now-defunct LJ queerfest listed a prompt for a fic involving Sara that just quoted the line in the book where her father says "If Sara had been a boy and lived a few centuries ago, she would have gone about the country with her sword drawn, rescuing and defending everyone in distress. She always wants to fight when she sees people in trouble." I'd love a fic that incorporated some of the sentiment of that comment, perhaps even an AU (minus the part about her being a boy).

Johanna/OFC:
I love Johanna, even as traumatized and therefore bitter and sometimes cruel as she can be in the years after her experience in the Games and, later, her torture at the hands of the Capitol. I'd love pretty much any fic delving deeper into her life and her motivations. Seeing what she's like before the Games might be fun. I've also long had a headcanon that when Johanna says "There's no one left that I love," what she means is there used to be someone, a girlfriend, that the Capitol had killed as a way of keeping Johanna in line. But that's suuuuuuuuper angst and you definitely don't need to go there if you don't want to.
Foxface/OFC
Foxface I'm fascinated by and I feel like we barely scratched the surface of her in the books; I'd love to see more of her brilliance and slyness, and a girlfriend/relationship pre-Games could be interesting. An AU in the arena with one of the other tributes works too.
Primrose Everdeen/Rue
Prim/Rue obviously has to be AU since they never meet in the books and both die so young, but I love how similar they are in some ways and how different in others (Rue's daring and adventurous nature contrasted with Prim's fear and shyness, except in medical settings). I'd love to see these two ultimately happy and healthy and whole and together, whatever setting you choose.
Original Female Capitol Citizen/Original Female District Citizen
This prompt comes out of my love of reading worldbuilding for the THG world. I think I'd most appreciate a fic where the Capitol citizen comes to understand the humanity of the district residents through this particular pairing, but a fic about the rebellion, in which the Capitol citizen has been fighting underground for a more just Panem all along, would be neat too. But any worldbuilding will make me yay, in the Capitol or in whichever district the district citizen is from or both. I'm particularly interested in districts that we see less of than District 12 in the books (so literally any other district, heh).

Songcatcher, Elna/Harriet
I'm sorry to be this person, I request this pairing in every ficathon I do and I've gotten two fics so far over the years and they were lovely but I'm still here, this lone shipper, wanting more. :) But (and I'm just copying my last year's Yuletide prompt for this fandom), These two are a beloved OTP for me. To me they're the sweetest nerdiest activist couple of all time. Fix-it fic where they get back together, or just a day or episode in their lives either as teachers in Appalachia or before that, would be lovely. I wouldn't mind an exploration of exactly where Harriet goes and what she does after she's left the mountain, but I really would love a happy ending for these two.

Harry Potter
Helena Ravenclaw/OFC
I have a headcanon that the reason that Helena Ravenclaw was so disdainful of her male suitors was that she was actually a lesbian, and that she had the capacity to be deeply passionate about a woman who managed to break through her reserve and haughtiness. Pretty much anywhere that you want to go with that is okay with me. It might be interesting to do a little worldbuilding on the wizard world at that point in its history, when Hogwarts was just being formed, but I'd also be happy with a narrowly focused fic.
