everywoman dear author letter

Dear everywoman  author,

Thank you for offering to write something I've requested! I love gen and shipfic in equal measure. Plot, sex, action - all great, but what I love is characterization, so don't feel pressured to include lots of explosions. In my letter, I'm including some possible ships, story scenarios, and headcanons, but feel free to ignore any of these if they don't jive with the story you want to write.

I have no hard-line triggers at this time, but please warn if applicable for self-harm, disordered eating, and pregnancy/birth.

Star Wars - All Media Types
Characters: Padme Amidala, Leia Organa
Ships: Padme/Obi-Wan, Leia/Han, Leia/Han/Luke
Thoughts: I'm deeply interested in an AU where they interact as mother and daughter, or have some sort of Force connection. In canon, I love explorations of autonomy, politics, totally owning everything they involve themselves in. Pregnancy is a part of this story, so if your fic deals with that it is fine.

X-Men Movieverse
Characters: Rogue, Kitty Pryde
Ships: Rogue/Kitty, Rogue/Jean
Thoughts: I'm not particularly crazy about DOFP, but I think it provides some interesting possibilities wherein there are almost infinite potential changes and no repercussions for exploring them. I would love to see Kitty with more to do, or Rogue actually using/coming into her powers.

Hannibal
Characters: Abigail Hobbs, Alana Bloom, Margot Verger, Beverly Katz
Ships: Abigail/Alana, Abigail/Freddie, Alana/Beverly, Alana/Margot, Alana/Freddie, Margot/Freddie, Beverly/Freddie, Beverly/Miriam
Thoughts: Obviously trauma plays heavily these characters' stories, but if they could be not-completely-broken by the end/some point of the story, I would be very grateful! I'm interested in the lives and stories that we don't get to see. I am not particularly concerned with Will or Hannibal (or Jack, really) and their crises of conscience or morality. Discussions of mental health/the mental health industry and gender are incredible! 

Orphan Black
Characters: Beth Childs, Helena, Rachel Duncan, Krystal Goderich
Ships: Beth/Sarah, Beth/Alison, Beth/Rachel, Helena/Sarah, Helena/Tony, Rachel/Sarah, Rachel/Delphine, Rachel/Cosima/Delphine, Krystal/Rachel, Krystal/Beth
Thoughts: It may be helpful to you to know that I ascribe to the ace!Beth school of thought (check out acebethweek on tumblr) and am not an aPOLigist, however in terms of spending fic time bashing or hating on Paul, I'd rather just avoid him altogether (though I recognize his place in canon, and that might be reflected in your fic). I'm interested in canon-compliant-ish AUs: pre-canon, clones as teenagers, growing up, Beth-is-still-alive, Beth-never-died/someone-saves-her, Rachel integrates into the group, Krystal integrates into the group or part of the group. I like the moral grey (and moral black, to be frank) of this universe. Discussions of body autonomy and consent are always welcome. 

Strange Empire
Characters: Rebecca Blithley
Pairings: Rebecca/Kat, Rebecca/Isabelle, Rebecca/Morgan
Thoughts: I generally fall in the camp of "the fewer gross dudes the better" but of course in universe they tend to be a common issue, and it's okay if your fic deals with that! I'd prefer not to read about dead babies or detailed rapes, please. I hope this is understood, but please refer to Morgan with he/him pronouns. I'm interested in missing scenes, pre-canon, fluffy moments, smut (j/k? AM I KIDDING? NO ONE KNOWS), and crossovers if I know the other canon (just send an anon ask on tumblr and be sorta vague?). Discussions of law and Where Women/People of Color stand are super awesome. 

The X-Files
Characters: Monica Reyes
Pairings: Monica/Dana
Thoughts: Hi, I love Monica Reyes and all of her kookiness. There was an old convention of reworking Mulder & Scully cases as Scully & Reyes cases, and I would love an AU of that sort. I'd also love anything post-canon that updates where the character is. Crossovers could be epic, I just would like to know the other canon (tumblr ask is fine!)
