Dear PR Femslash Ficathon Writer,

eirenicalIt's that time of year again, folks! Fic exchange time! :D Because I can never stay away from this exchange. ^_^
So... a general ahead of time warning… I'm a bit verbose. I usually don't know when to quit talking. So, uh… hope you're comfy?
And without any further ado…
Dear PR Femslash Ficathon Author,
First and foremost I'd like to offer up a huge "Thank You!!" to you for writing for me. I know how difficult it can be to put any part of your creative process into the hands of another individual, so I will treat that trust with the care and respect it deserves by not being too greedy or selfish. I am already happy that you are willing to write me a story in a fandom of my choosing and with characters of my choice. It would be the icing on the cake if you are willing to include my other requests, as well, but ultimately if they don't work for you, please feel free to ignore them. ^_^
I don't really have anything to add to my specific prompts, so this letter is mostly a discussion of general fic likes and dislikes.
A note on rating and kink:
Pretty much any rating can fly. I'm always up for a good PWP, but I love G-rated fluff just as much. My general reading preferences tend towards slash (or femslash), and unless it's a personal pet pairing (which I will list, if it applies), het doesn't do much for me. If NC-17 is your writing poison of choice, I'm certainly OK with that ^_~, but there aren't too many kinks that work for me. I usually like my fic sex fairly vanilla with the exception of this random dub-con/non-con/bondage/angry!sex kink I seem to have developed. A little power play between friends is all just good fun, though, right?
*coughs* Movingonnow.
A note on general fic likes and dislikes:
I love a good angst-fest. I really do. Hurt-comfort? Yes, please. Unrequited love? Oh, absolutely. Mental and emotional trauma? You had me at "Me--". Characters who can't seem to get a clue and when they do, have trouble holding on to it? My bread and butter. Thing is… I love my fluff just as hard. Cuddling in front of a fireplace? Oh, please, gimme. Romantic moonlit walks on the beach? No problems there. Domestic bliss of any kind? Oh, no question. ;)
The punchline? I'm in most fanfiction for the character development and interaction. Fight/action scenes aren't really my thing. I love a good navel-gazing, introspective character study with almost no dialogue and a boatload of self-analysis and I also love interactive witty banter and shenanigans. ^_^ Ultimately, it's about the characters for me, though, so I prefer them in-character, and in canon setting (unless I mention otherwise). Also, since it really is all about the characters for me… I'd prefer no original characters.
Excessive dialect use is a bit of a turn-off -- a touch for authenticity is OK, but once it crosses the line into making the dialogue difficult to understand, it's just irritating.
I'm not in this to be too greedy and even though I'm the one requesting this story, you're ultimately the one writing it. I'm not the only one who should be happy with how it turns out. ^_~
*deep breath* And I think that's it. Like I said, if any of the details I provided don't work for you, feel free to toss them out the window and write what's most comfortable for you. If you are happy and excited about what you're writing, I'm sure I will love it. Passion comes across and I do not in any way want to dampen yours. ^_^ I certainly won't object if you want to accommodate me in my far-too-verbose additional requests, but as stated many times, totally not a requirement. ^_^ Go with your gut. The fact that you're writing in one of these fandoms for me, at all, is plenty enough to have me thrilled and excited and bouncing for joy. ^_^
Thank you, again, and HAPPY WRITING!
A grateful recipient
