Dear Not prime Time Author
Thanks a lot for writing for me, I hope you have fun.
My previous dear author letters are here. Feel free to look around my Lj or my Ao3.
I tend to prefer plot to non-plot and gen to ship, although I don't mind femslash/het/poly/slash/etc. That said, I go into all stories with no ship feelings so any shipfic will have to make me believe in the ship. I'm not into PWP, but porn as part of a story doesn't bother me. Please stay away from incest and underage. I really love canon-divergent AUs and crossovers where I am familiar with both/all the canons. I don't mind complete AUs ("they're all in fandom!") as long as they have some sort of plot ("they're all in fandom and are organising a con!"), but I love it even more when the AU doesn't contradict the canon ("they're in fandom and still thieves/norse gods/mutants."). I am not a fan of unrelenting grimdark and would rather there was some sort of hopeful ending. However, I don't mind and quite like bittersweet endings. Mythology/folklore is a great love of mine so if you can work that in somehow, it would be brilliant. Other tropes I like are people on opposite side caring to each other, whether in a platonic or romantic sense (friends-to-enemies or enemies-to-friends are just as good), playing ridiculous concepts completely straight is always fascinating to me as are loveable rogues. On the whole, feel free to ignore my babble and write whatever you want.
I mean what I say about loving anything about Parker. Parker in canon-divergent AU where Nate's son never died? Great. Zombie Apocalypse AU? Cool. Parker steals a Green/some other colour Lantern ring? Brilliant. Parker commits the most impossible heist in history? Awesome. The Saga of Parker, Thief of the Rhinemaiden's Gold? Gimme. Parker IN SPACE? Yes please. What her stint in La Santé, how did that happen? Did Archie acknowledging her as his daughter change things? Is she invited over for Thanksgiving? Post-canon casefic would be great. Do they ever team-up with Maggie or Tara again? Are they still being chased around by Sterling?
In case you feel like writing shipfic, I ship Parker/Hardison/Elliot but I am not averse to any other ships you feel like.
I'll seriously love anything with Hel you write me. I do ship her with Baldr and Brünnhild (don't ask me why, because I have no idea), but you don't have to do anything with that if you don't want to. I ship those ships separetely but if you can make it work as a triad, I will be in awe of your writing skills. Prompts! Hel after Ragnarok, what does she do? What did she do during the battle? What's her relationship with the Valkyries like? Does Helheim get cable TV? Do Loki and Angrboda ever visit their children? What about Hel's brothers, does she visit them?
I love Rogue but I also love a lot of the comics characters. I would love it if you found some way to have Rogue and Wanda reconcile, because their current relationship in the comics saddens me. Something that explores how Rogue's power work would also be neat. Rogue and Carol Danvers haven't interacted since AvX as far as I know, so if you want to write a team-up/Rogue's reaction to carol becoming Captain Marvel or the "no-fly" thing, that'd be great. I don't really ship Rogue with anyone, but you can include any ship you want. (Although, if your fic involves Gambit, please don't have any French, especially not "chère". As a French person, gratuitous/wrong French is a hot button issue.)
Have fun writing!

Leverage - Parker
Parker! She's my favourite Leverage character, although I love all of them. You can include any characters you want and I will be happy. Seriously, I don't care if your fic is Parker bonding with Sterling or going sky-diving with Maggie or post-canon adventures or a road-trip with Peggy or life at the Brew Pub or wahtever. I don't care, I'll love it anyway.

Norse Mythology - Hel
I really like Hel, she's a certified badass. She became queen of the dead! What's not to love? I'd love to see some of the day-to-day happenings in Helheim. For example, does Baldr's arrival change things? Does Hel prepare for Ragnarok or does she not care about it?
I'll seriously love anything with Hel you write me. I do ship her with Baldr and Brünnhild (don't ask me why, because I have no idea), but you don't have to do anything with that if you don't want to. I ship those ships separetely but if you can make it work as a triad, I will be in awe of your writing skills. Prompts! Hel after Ragnarok, what does she do? What did she do during the battle? What's her relationship with the Valkyries like? Does Helheim get cable TV? Do Loki and Angrboda ever visit their children? What about Hel's brothers, does she visit them?
X-Men (comics) - Rogue
So far I haven't seen an incarnation of Rogue I didn't like. I love her in the X-Men:Evolution cartoon, love her in the comics (616, Ultimates, Age of X...), love her in the movies and I think you get the idea. So, yeah, Rogue, she's great and I love her. Feel free to write about her having as wacky adventures as you want. Does she evr return to the planet she was booted to in AvX? Is it awkward being on the same team as the daughter of the guy she used to date? Is relaxing at the spa with Natasha Romanoff a regular thing?
I love Rogue but I also love a lot of the comics characters. I would love it if you found some way to have Rogue and Wanda reconcile, because their current relationship in the comics saddens me. Something that explores how Rogue's power work would also be neat.
