hello!

I am already so excited to receive whatever it is you write for me! I hope it ends up being something you enjoy writing, too. I want to make it totally clear that everything I'm gonna drop in this letter is super optional, and if you don't vibe with anything, feel free to disregard it: I know it can be super hard to write something that goes against your instincts, so if any of this nonsense does, just, you know, do your thang. Hopefully we vibe tho!

General Likes:
I really quite like messy romances. People who are dumb about their feelings and fuck up and have to work to figure stuff out. I love fics that draw on canon  and bring new, interesting things to it; I also love AUs that take characters out of their normal situations. I feel strongly about in-character characterization (tbh who doesn't?) and I prefer character-driven stuff to plotty stuff. I love domesticity and everyday nonsense. Smut's fun too! I like bad sex and figuring-stuff-out sex and all that funny messy bullshit. I like my angst with a sense of levity – as befits the situation, of course. I love love love lady-centric things. Ladies first, alwaaaaaaays. Always. Het, slash, gen, I'm down with it all.

General Dislikes:
Um hm. I don't care for noncon or anything approaching it, or dudes being possessive and creepy, especially if it's framed in a romantic light.



The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond.Jimmy Dobyne, Fisher Willow.
I was super excited to see this as one of the available fandoms, considering I really did enjoy the film (imperfect as it was) and it left me with waaaay more questions than answers. There is so much left to Fisher and Jimmy's relationship! Like, do they get married? Does Jimmy fall in love with her? Does it all go horribly wrong? I'd also be into Fisher's exploits pre-movie, or how she came to know Jimmy and fall for him in the first place.

The Darjeeling Limited. Jack and Rita.
Jack and Rita's relationship was left pretty unexplored by the film, so I'd love something that delved into it a little more – maybe picking up after the film to see where they ended up, if they even found each other again. I also found Rita intensely interesting on her own, so something about her life before/during/after the film would be AMAZING.

On the Road.Sal Paradise, Dean Moriarty, Camille Moriarty.
I'm kind of Kerouac fangirly, and I've always been very interested by the relationship between these three. Camille wasn't a huge part of the film, I know, but considering her real life counterpart was in love with both Dean/Neal and Sal/Jack, I think there's a lot to be mined within their dynamic. So...threesomes, yay, or really any combination of the three of them together at all. Or just a Camille story, since she was so sidelined.



Again, thanks so much! Can't wait to see what you come up with. :)
