tellitslantHi! I'm so sorry it took me so long to get this up. Thanks so much for writing me a story this year. I have chosen a bunch of super-awesome ladies that I really just want to have awesome adventures of various stripes, and I’m really excited to see what you come up with for some of them.
If you're coming here from a non-assignment link, my AO3 name is kathryne. :)
I wrote my signup very quickly on the day signups closed, so if there’s anything there that sounds weird, I apologize. ;) Hopefully I’ll put any worries you have to rest!
I try to give a lot of various suggestions, but if none of them sit right with you, of course you should feel free to write something that you want. I just ask that you make sure none of the dudes from these canons accidentally take the forefront. I’m more than happy to have dudes – and other awesome ladies – as supporting cast, but would really like my story to fit the Misses Clause challenge and pass the Bechdel Test. Otherwise, I’m pretty easy (that’s what she said). I’m happy with any rating from G to NC-17 if it suits the story you’re trying to tell. I’m even happy with sad, tragic endings, depending on the fandom – probably not with Captain Marvel, where I want Ladies Hitting Things, but with The Good Wife, sure. My only pet peeve is probably sloppy spelling and grammar. ;)
Anyways, a few more notes on my various requests. If you're writing The Good Wife, that one is at the bottom as it has spoilers through 5.03 in the clarification! Just FYI.
Captain Marvel
I really just want a story about Jess and Carol kicking ass and taking names and being bros, or more-than-bros, or making fun of the Avengers. Generally, awesome ladies being awesome. I haven't tagged anyone else, but inclusion of more awesome ladies of Marvel, or even or awesome dudes of Marvel as supporting characters, would be loads of fun - I'm pretty up on everything movieverse and all sorts of random old-school Marvel, so feel free to include anything that doesn't shade into he hidden importance of dudes. More punching dinosaurs, less dudes, is my life motto here.
I don't think I have anything to add here except to say that I will be up on all issues of CM by the time Yuletide rolls around, so don't worry about spoilers or anything! Also, I am a superhuge Jess fan but not very up on her whole thing with Clint. I gleefully ship Jess and Carol, but if you don't want to go that route, I love them as friends too. Either way, as long as they're not so sweet my dentist will find cavities, it's all good.
Bomb Girls
I love Lorna and Betty's not-quite-friendship. They both deal with so many hard things and change so much. Something about the two of them would be marvellous. I'd also love something about Lorna and her relationship to the girls and the factory and the war and her job (read "and" as "or" as you wish). Or something about Betty and any of her love interests/subtextual love interests. Future-fic would be fun too. Feel free to throw in any of the other characters, particularly Kate or Gladys, but I'd like the focus on one or both of my chosen two.
I think what impresses me most about these two is their ability to change – very slowly, in some cases, but nevertheless. Also, I am a sucker for Canadiana.
Defiance
I would love to see more of the Stahma/Kenya relationship, particularly to go inside either of their heads throughout. A future fic would be interesting - is Kenya really dead? What happened in the woods? I would also love a Stahma-centric fic about pretty much any aspect of her life in Defiance. I didn't tag Amanda in this, but I'd love to see how Stahma handles being around her knowing what's happened to Kenya.
I love Stahma, and not just because she's played by Jaime Murray. I love her because she operates on so many layers simultaneously. She is Machiavellian and Lady Macbeth-y and so fucking smart. Was Kenya part of her plan? Did she develop genuine feelings for Kenya? Are these two possibilities mutually exclusive? What other intrigues does she have brewing, and who else gets under her skin?
The Good Wife
Some of the stuff I am going to say is spoilery up to the most recent ep aired (5.03), so I will put that in my Dear Author letter. However, I'm really interested in a Kalinda/Alicia or Kalinda & Alicia story dealing with abandonment issues. I will keep up to date on the canon, so you can either do so as well or set it at some point this season, no worries! If you don't want to write that, I'd love a Kalinda-centric story about her past or her time at Lockhart Gardner, as long as it doesn't deal with her husband.
Okay, so that moment in 5.03 where Kalinda realizes that Alicia is leaving Lockhart Gardner just slayed me. I would love to read something themed around that. If things develop throughout the season, feel free to take whatever happens into account, or to set something in that one episode, or to go totally AU. I just really love that we are still seeing that the Kalinda & Alicia – or Kalinda/Alicia – relationship is still so important to Kalinda. Is it still important to Alicia?
Anyways, I think that's more than everything I needed to say. I hope you find something that intrigues you and that you have fun writing! I am really looking forward to reading what you come up with. Thank you again. :D
