Thank you for writing for me! I'm sure whatever you write me will be wonderful.

Feel free to poke around this journal or my Ao3 account (username: sevenofspade ) if you want to. My letters tag is here.

I have the following Do Not Wants: allegory/metaphor of real world politics, character death, child abuse, dysphoria, incest, people losing things important to them, porn, rape, unrequested setting-change AUs (unrequested canon-divergent AUs are fine and very welcome), the Arthurian mythos and toxic living arrangements, be that family or roomates. When these are canon, please don't focus on them. Thank you.

On the other hand, there are a lot of things I do want. Here’s a partial list. (I obviously don’t expect you to stick all of these in one story, that would be impossible.)

( General likes )

Feel free to take prompts in whichever direction you like! And if none of my prompts work for you, then write whatever you want -- I'll be happy with anything.

[EDIT OCTOBER 25: added prompts.]


Carthaginian Historical RPF
Any of: Dido | Elissa (Carthaginian Historical RPF), Hannibal Barca (Carthaginian Historical RPF), Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Maior (Carthaginian Historical RPF), Sophonisba (Carthaginian Historical RPF)

I ship Hannibal/Scipio most, but I could be convinced by any combination of the characters. Friendship fics are also amazing! Appearances by Tanith very welcome.

Prompts:
  -     Hannibal fulfilling Dido's revenge! What if Hannibal marched on Rome?
  -     PUNIC! AT THE DISCO (listen. I love puns and a Pun-ic war would be amazing)
  -     Scipio/Sophonisba arranged marriage
  -     Dido convincing Scipio not to march on Carthage
  -     Dido and Sophonisba, advising each other in their hour(s) of need
  -     Family moments: Scpio and his daughter, Hannibal and his siblings, Sophonisba and her father, Dido and her sister...
  -     Aemilia/Hannibal/Scipio
  -     Dido telling Aeneas to go fuck himself, because seriously, fuck that guy


Eferum Series - Andrea K. Höst
Kendall Stockton, Sukata Illuma

I ship it so much! They are the cutest monster-hunting lesbians and I love Kendall's determination to free Sukata's people. I shipped from the moment in the first book where they were looking at stars together.

Prompts:
  -     First date! First date uninterrupted by monsters!
  -     magic lessons!
  -     Role reversal! Kendall the glass golem, Sukata the feral mage
  -     mystery solving
  -     more interactions with the Emperor because that guy's devotion to his people would be interesting to contrast with the other two's dedication to theirs
  -     an AU where the villains (either) won or never lost
  -     an AU swapping them with Rennyn and her beau
  -     STARGAZING


Marvel Secret Wars Battleworlds
Valeria Richards | Head of the Foundation, Victor von Doom | God-Emperor Doom

They have the best and weirdest relationship in this. Also the science in Battleworld must be really weird and I wish to know more about the worldbuilding (can be literal worldbuilding, but doesn't have to be).

Prompts:
  -     the founding of the Foundation
  -     what's Valeria's opinion on her uncle being the sun?
  -     Valeria and Strange working together
  -     Experiments on Doom stuff / god particles
  -     what if the ark doesn't get open?
  -     CSI: BATTLEWORLD
  -     how does Doom feel being the only one in his family who remembers a time before Battleworld?
  -     are there alternate Dooms and/or Valerias running around?


Powerless (TV 2017)
Beatriz da Costa (Powerless 2017), Emily Locke

I ship it! I have a real soft spot for superhero/civilian relationships and they were really cute together. I love the "behind the scenes in the superhero world" aspect of the series.

Prompts:
  -     Emily vs tabloids
  -     Green Fury gets in the Justice League
  -     what of they tried to get people to not call her Green Fury anymore
  -     KARAOKE! Emily's enthusiasm is really cute
  -     a villain kidnaps Emily (with or without the team) and then Green Fury rescues her
  -     or vice versa. Emily would make a good superhero
  -     5 times Emily used the Green Fury button
  -     what if one of them is secretly a supervillain?


The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (Comic)
The Girl (Fabulous Killjoys Comic), Phoenix Witch (Fabulous Killjoys Comic)

WORLDBUILDING! I love this comic and the album it grew out of. Maybe an AU where the Killjoys don't die? Or maybe the Girl and the Witch go on a roadtrip? Blue can come too. Also, I like Girl's cat.

Prompts:
  -     where did the Phoenix Witch come from?
  -     what if Val Velocity had had any fucking chill at any point?
  -     how did Blue end up in that alley where Red found her?
  -     what are the Analog Wars?
  -     how do the Phoenix Witch and Cherri Cola know each other? Does he know they know each other?
  -     what if the Girl did detonate in the next world?
  -     when the Phoenix Witch describes the Girl's powers, the art shows Blue waking Destroya -- how are their powers connected, if they are?
  -     Red and the Phoenix Witch


Thank you so much for writing for me!

I've never actually had to post an evidence post for a fandom in yuletide, but this year I'm posting two! Tagging this 'fannish landmark' and using my Gwen Stacy icon, idc.

You will be very surprised to learn that my third nom is Hannibal Barca and Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Maior, under "Punic Wars RPF".

Like I said previously, I wrote 8 fics for yuletide: 1 assignments, 6 full-length treats and 1 madness treat (presented here more or less in the order in which I wrote them). Now you get to hear me talk about them and be a giant nerd. At length.

Lies told by firelight (1533 words) by sevenofspade
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Loki: Agent of Asgard
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Loki (Agent of Asgard), Verity Willis
Additional Tags: Post-Canon
Summary: As it turned out, what Loki had meant when he'd said "I need a break. So... Let's skip ahead a bit" was "Let's do yuletide".
As it turned out, what "Let's do yuletide" meant was "Let's spend the end of the world telling stories about stories".

( Treat ) totally guessed it was me based on those).

Because I wrote this fic ON THE PLANE. I did everything on that bloody flight, from canon review (canons I could have reviewed from my hard-drive: Agent of Asgard, Spider-Gwen, Mulan) to brainstorming to writing to editing to... Yeah. Everything but post the thing.

You wouldn't know this from the posting date though, because it's dated as one day BEFORE my flight, for reasons of it being a meta joke for it to be posted on the solstice (makes sense if you read the fic). I don't think anyone caught it, but I am ridiculously proud that I thought of this meta reference so now you get to hear about my brilliance.

Loki's feelings about yuletide that prompt Verity's "Wow. You're actually a gigantic sap." are totally my feelings about Yueltide and fic exchanges in general. Whatever, I'm a sap, I own it.

I really like " "I'm the Skald," Loki said. "The mythmaker at the end of everything. The narrator of sinners and sorcerers. The deceiver. The storyteller." " as a line, but my favourite is "There was something ugly in the way Loki said that last word, something twisted and sharp like barbed wire.". I'm quite fond of "a campfire vigil for the internet age" as a phrase.

(Doom actually is signed up for yuletide, but he's changed accounts to one Loki doesn't know about. It's cool, Loki is going to write his old account a fic anyway.)

(Loki is female through most of the fic because of how hot my recip said she was as Goddess of Stories and yeah, I can only agree.)

Yeah, I think this fic turned out really well, given the givens.

Please refer to the dreamwidth version of this entry. The crosspost was malfunctionning.

Hi! Welcome to Meta Monday, in which I go tl;dr about stuff.

ladymercury_10 :Maybe your favorite/least favorite things about [Young Avengers]? And/or how your feelings differ between the different runs?

My favourite thing about Young Avengers is probably how hard all of them try to do the right thing and how brave they all are. My least favourite thing is the deaths.

I have a lot of varying feelings on the different runs, though.

( I don't have feelings; And I don't hold hands. )

Which reminds me. Does anyone know where Eli got to?

Because it's been ages since I saw him in a comic. Even the recent Battleworld AU/whetever we're calling this current Marvel event didn't have him in the Young Avengers issue. (Everyone ever appears to be pretending Jonas never existed. Boo.)

Also, my favourite Young Avengers fic has now been Jossed, but remains forever amazing, so I'm going to rec it once more.

reclaiming her star (6582 words) by NightsMistress
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Young Avengers
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Cassie Lang
Additional Tags: post volume 2, shameless fix-it fic
Summary:

It's not the coming back to life that's hard, Cassie learns, but adjusting to what has happened after she died.

I hope that at least somewhat answered the questions!

Next time, I'll be talking about writing a novel. (The Meta Monday Masterpost is here. If you want me to talk about anything, let me know over there.)

Night on Fic Mountain is over! On the whole, I enjoyed the experience of modding it and I'd like to do it again next year.

I wrote two fics and got two fics.

First my gifts, because they were both amazing!

your ex-lover is dead by singsongsung (Orphan Black, gen, 2 693 words)

Art (who is an idiot) had been goddamn in love with her.

It's post-canon fic about Art and Sarah and the hole Beth left in both their lives. Read it, it's great. I like the little glimpses of the post-canon world shown in it and all little nods to canon (Tony's in it!).

The Man Who Would Be Caliph by misura (Demon Knights, gen, 715 words)

"It's a - never mind." Al Jabr gestured dismissively. "What you're telling me is that if I assure people I have no desire to be caliph, they will assume that I am lying and that I do, in fact, wish to be caliph. And yet, if I do not, they will assume the exact same thing."

AL JABR! It's fic set in the 30 year timeskip and gives an explanation for why Al Jabr ended up being Caliph. It has to do with science, because, with Al Jabr, of course it does.

As for the fic I wrote:

Two for Joy by sevenofspade (Loki: Agent of Asgard/Journey into Mystery, gen, 3 389 words)

This is a story about Loki. It doesn't feature quite as much lying as you might expect based on that. Verity won't let it.

I wrote this for snickfic . This is the first time I was assigned to write for someone who had previously written for me. This fic was a blast to write! The structure was the first thing I thought of about it (Verity interrupting the narrator, to be exact) and the story kind of built itself around it, from a bunch of various stuff. The Amber Room comes from the fact that I was listening to a podcast about it at some point, the Treaty of St-Clair-Sur-Epte is the only very obscure I could think of off the top of my head (I have been waiting years to use it in a story. Years.) and then I threw in a bunch of references to the greater Marvel universe and to various popculture things (Star Wars, Frozen, Jurassic Park, for example) that weren't too distracting, hopefully. I really hope that even though the fic acts as a fix-it for JiM there was enough context between the fic and canon that it was understandable without reading JiM.

We built this city on rock 'n' roll by sevenofspade (Sucker Punch (2011), gen, 1 022 words)

The city at the end of the train line burst into flame the first time Araya touched the Moon.

I wrote this for morbane , because they didn't have any fic written fic written for them, which was a shame because a) they wrote a fic and b) they were the best co-mod my newbie self could have hoped for. Sucker Punch was the only one of their fandoms I could consume and write fic for in the time that was left. I didn't manage to post the fic before we opened the collection, but I posted it, and that's all that matters. It's backstory/worldbuildy fic for one the levels of reality in the movie, because I was really intrigued by their prompt about the city at the end of the train line. (I suspect I was not as stealth an author as I could have been.)

Dear rarewomen author, hi andthank you! I genuinely love all of these fandoms and all of these women and would love absolutely anything you write in any of them. Seriously, I mean it. If that's all you wanted to know, fell free to stop reading right now. If, however, you'd like a better idea of my general likes and dislikes and specific prompts for specific fandoms, read on.

My previous letters are here and my ao3 account is here.

( General information )

But none of this as important to me as you having fun writing, so use (or don't) any an all parts of this letter.

( Locke & Key )

( Lost Girl )

( She's the Man (2006) )

( Spider-Man (Ultimateverse) )

 

 First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR y'all! I hope 2014 is awesome for you.

I got two fics for yuletide: Transverse orientation by perryvic and/or Zaganthi (I honestly have no idea what's up with the authorship of this fic) in the Lucifer (comics) fandom, a reunion fic between Elaine and Lucifer that is pretty great and a treat, The Horsewoman's Tale by skazka (samgrass ) in the Demon Knights fandom, a fic where Horsewoman and Ystin (+ Al Jabr) tag along with the pilgrims from Canterbury Tales while looking for a weird saint relic. You should all read it, even if you know nothing about Canterbury Tales, because I didn't, but it was utterly awesome anyway.


I wrote 6 fics, in 6 fandoms. I'll do reveals in alphabetical order of fic title since that (coincidentally) puts my main assignment first.

( Fandoms are: Norse mythology/Sundown: Whispers of Raganrok, Batgirl v2, Ancient History RPF, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and Demon Knights )

In total, I wrote 13 701 words of fic and almost 2k on those very same fics. (I tend to overthink things and could write many more words on these fics (up to and including full-on DVD commentary), like for all my fics, but I've already bored you enough as it is. Unless you'd like to ask me to.)

And I claim full credit.

dudski has a very nice and detailed post about every step of the whole thing. I never thought I'd ever be mentionned in anything ressembling a wank report, but this makes me look like a hero coming in after the last minute to save the day so I'm okay with it.

It's true that Gwen was announced as being back in in answer to my comment, but I think if had been anyone else making that comment, the result would have been the same.

I hesitated to post it, because I didn't want to impose. Then they kept replying to other inquiries. So I posted. Between the moment I started my comment and the moment I posted, an offer to include characters missing from nominations was made. I came back to edit it in into my comment and change my icon to my Gwen Stacy icon (in case anyone was curious what the edit was).

Then I wandered away, because I didn't expect a reply at all, much less a positive one.

In all honesty, I was resigned to Gwen not making it in this year. I just wanted to show people, when they'd be looking back on this years from now (because you know they will), that Gwen Stacy fans weren't making unreasonable demands.

As a result of me walking away from the computer, yuletide-coal reacted to Gwen getting in faster than I did. (Also, I love that this thread is just above the previous.)

That's pretty much how the end of it unfolded from my point of view. I'm just really glad Gwen got in, you guys! And I can now add wanker defender of justice on my LJ CV, so there is that.

Also, I'm naming my new PC Gwen, because since I'm transferring all the memory, it will essentially be the same PC with a different casing and if this yuletide has told me anything it's that "same memory =/= same person", apparently.

In conclusion: GWEN ♥!

(Sorry if this post shows up twice, LJ's being weird.)
