Dear Everywoman Author (2021)
Saturday, June 19th, 2021 12:29 pmDear Everywoman Author:
Hi! Thank you for also being interested in these dear fandoms, and their wonderful women characters. I’m sure that whatever you most want to celebrate in these characters will make a lovely story! If you’d like more story thoughts from me, read on.
Some feelings across fandoms
I often love best stories with the feel of canon, whether as a scene or episode that could have been added seamlessly, or as a different choice or chance that would have branched and led somewhere wholly unlike where canon went, yet rooted in that original reality.
With a few exceptions, I usually prefer gen to romance. Mystery, drama, history, reflection, confrontation, growth, discovery, tragedy! (I opt in for tragedy including character death, as long as the loss is shown as meaningful to the survivors; I generally like stories of grief and continuing on.) And, of course, the quiet times between adventures! For romance, I have fairly vanilla tastes. Whether m/f or f/f in this exchange, I especially value fidelity, mutuality, and complementarity, where the parties each bring strengths and weaknesses to the relationship such as to grow stronger together than apart.
Where applicable, I especially love protagonists who incidentally, without thinking they’re doing something special, show that they value others highly — that is, not only their own loved ones, but the dignity and abundant life of all people, especially those on the margins.
Please do mix and match the requested characters with other appropriate characters to build your story!
On dislikes: Villains can be redeemed — and, in tragedies, can win! — but I don’t enjoy stories that defend or celebrate evil. (FK note: I understand vampirism as an evil.) I’m happy to follow two competing ideals pitted against each other, and to cry over a good that is lost; I don’t like to be asked to root for that which is wrong.
Some fandom & character-specific feelings
( D&DC: Dungeons & Dragons (the ‘80s cartoon) )
( HL: Highlander: The Series )
( BSG78: Battlestar Galactica (the original) )
( YB: Young Blades )
( FK: Forever Knight )
( The Equalizer (TV 2021) )
Do Not Want (DNW)
( Do Not Want (DNW) )
If that isn’t far more than enough ;-) I have a standing likes and dislikes post. Check it out.
Thank you very much!
