scribblemynameDear Beyond Panels Writer:
First let me say, you are awesome. Whichever fandom, whichever character or pairing we share in common, thank you for the fic or art! I myself cannot draw so am super impressed with those who can.
So a good chunk of my general please writes and don't writes and what gets me every time can be found in my now overly numerous ficathon/exchange letters. On AO3, I have personal bookmarks and a lot of fic. For my Rogue/Remy tastes, I recommend you to my FF.net profile.
General Likes: characterization, more of what's in canon (with exceptions), worldbuilding, characterization, chosen family, deep friendships, established relationships, developing relationships, mindscape, identity issues, amnesia, brainwashing, mental triggers, backstory, compentence, brothers, family fic, and did I mention deep platonic relationships? I also love romance with intimacy and characterization, asexual romance, and ensemble fic.
General Dislikes: porn without plot, embarrassment, body-related humor, bodily fluids, gore, graphic violence, profanity, bashing (be it character, ideology, people group, or anything else), alternate gender norms (e.g. a/b/o), real-life political or controversial issues, didactic fiction, inequal relationships, deathfic, tragedy, infidelity/cheating, or betrayal that does not get fixed. Also, I'd rather not have aromantic fic, though gen is fine.
Tropes and Themes: love soulmates/soulmarks/soulbonds, domestic fic, fluff, meta, poetry, angst, secret relationship, accidental relationship, fake relationship, friends to lovers, rivals to lovers, mistletoe kiss, sharing a bed, lots of coffee and cooking and baking and tea, telepathy mindmeld, time travel (with consequences), hurt/comfort, holidayfic, snowed in, and a few others.
Crossovers between requested 616 fandoms welcome.

Luann (Comics)
Characters: Luann DeGroot, Quill, Rosa Aragones, Gunther Berger
I've been reading Luann for several years, just the dailies that pop up on various news sites. I love so much of the ensemble and their dynamics, but since I only got to pick four, I picked these ones. This is a comic where the characters age and grow and that's great, but it means I'm happy with anything you want to write for them, up-to-date current timeline, previous stuff in the series, futurefic, even AU canon-divergence.
Luann is so down-to-earth and so her age, she's precious. I love how she interacts with her friends, Bernice and Delta, and how she and Gunther navigated their friendship, and the whole thing with her and Quill and their long-distance, Aussie and American relationship is just love, love, love.
Rosa and Gunther got together after he designed her dress that won in the beauty contest at the high school. I love their dynamic of her pushing for new and different and his steadiness, even if he did need a push out of the nest! Quill roomed with Gunther during his time as an exchange student and they got to be friends, even kind of chosen brothers, and I love that dynamic as well.
Did I mention Rosa and Gunther just went to Peru? But they amicably decided to do their college/humanitarian time separately without breaking up. I'd love to see the new Gunther in play, his dealing with being home and/or long distance thing with Rosa.
Rose is Rose (Comics)
Characters: Rose Gumbo, Peekaboo, Pasquale's Guardian Angel, Pasquale Gumbo
Rose is Rose is another daily comic in the news, though I've been reading Rose is Rose since childhood. It's the kind of comic where the characters never actually grow older. I love the entire lovable Gumbo family of Jimbo, Rose, their son Pasquale, his guardian angel, their kitten, and Rose's mother, Meemaw, who visits by times.
Rose is just so delightful with her spice-loving, motorcycling alter ego, her sulks, her tree to let things be, the way she'll shrink into appropriately-sized childlike delight for puddles and rainbows and springtime, and then all the domestic fun of running her household.
Peekaboo is the adorable and problematic family kitten who can stretch to ridiculous lengths to enjoy sunshine, laps, snubbing meals, and knocking over objects in the feline version of art and a job well done. She attends the kitten support group for stepped on tails, chasing the songbirds (delightful) and squirrels (exasperating), and gets her claws snagged on clothing, curtains, etc. to be left hanging in adorable fashion.
Pasquale is just all fun little boy and plays with his guardian angel, makes weather suggestions, which said guardian angel implements via heavenly software (really), and forgets unwelcome suggestions when little Pasquale-lookalike guardian angel goes into huge, heavenly warrior mode.
I would love to see family fic, love notes between Rose and her husband, or dealing with Peekaboo, Peekaboo and the guardian angel interacting, but most of all, Pasquale in his dream ship when he nods off to sleep and goes on adventures. I would love anything as fluffy and sweet without sap that this comic is. It's my uplifting note for the day so often, and that's what I would hope for in fic.
Hawkeye (Comics)
Characters: Kate Bishop, Clint Barton, Barney Barton, Lucky
I love each of these characters in so many ways, and I would really like to see all four interacting. Brother fic, reconciliation, working through past issues or just major current togetherness is at the top of my wishlist for Barney and Clint. I especially want to see more of what makes them close without brushing anything under the carpet, and especially, especially want to see stuff addressing Clint's deafness.
Clint being Deaf with a capital cultural D would be a wonderful AU too, just saying.
I'd love to see Kate and Barney's dynamic and how it fits around her place as Clint's found family and Clint's original birth family. I'd love to see them figuring out how to fit together because Clint keeps them both. I'd love either being protective of Clint from the other, and I'd love seeing Kate paired or platonic with Clint (or both, I'm not picky).
Lucky's just a must. I don't care how you work him in as long as I get to awww or mentally want to cuddle him at least once. Please?
Black Widow (Comics)
Characters: Natasha Romanova, Bucky Barnes, Yelena Belova, Liho
I love Natasha/Bucky as a pairing in the comics and I'd really want to see anything romantic and intimate where their together, whether that's hurt/comfort, sharing secrets and/or memories, falling in love, soulmates AU, reconciliation, really just about anything.
Yelena fascinates me. I love that panel at the end of her first altercation with Natasha where she's listening to the messages on her machine and staring out the window. I want to know more about her family, what drove her to become a Widow, what drove her to become the Widow, more on her relationship with Natasha, its ambivalence, the push-me pull-me nature of it. In a way, Natasha became her mentor and Yelena forced that on accident. Natasha's methods with her were so cruel, but were they simply a product of the program itself? Yelena and Natasha are both Black Widows. There is nothing not cruel about the training that creates that, and Yelena skipped a good deal of the horrors that happened to Natasha. I really, really want fic about this.
Then there's Liho. I just love Liho and how the cat and Natasha coexist and want Liho being there for Natasha, adopting her, taking care of her in Liho's own feline way.
Obviously, I'm okay with not all characters in one fic, though I do ask that if Natasha's there, could Liho show up.
X-Treme X-Men (Comics)
Characters: Remy LeBeau, Rogue
Two words here: Valle Soleada. I want Rogue/Remy fic for this period. In point of fact, I want happy Valle Soleada fic. I would especially love fluff, domestic fic, or exploring how they worked through their relationship issues to get settled. I don't want to see a breakup and honestly, I don't want to see them doing their superhero thing either. I'd like to see how they worked out domesticity, her mechanic job, figuring out their identities as non-mutants, figuring out the silence in her head, being together, preferably a lot of characterization and romance and definitely don't mind if you include sex.
Excalibur (Comics)
Characters: Kitty Pryde
I love Kitty but I never got to delve deep enough into these comics. I love her with Pete, I love her with Piotr, I love her as herself being herself. I love her Jewishness, her being "the goddess of computers," her strength, her friendships. Really, I'll take just about anything. I just ask that it show her in a way that I'm not obligated to have read that particular comic to get it because my reading's been rather spotty for Excalibur.
