sailorhathorHello brave writer!
In general, I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to pairings, if there's going to be one. Het, slash, femmeslash, threesomes, poly groupings, it's all good. I'm squicked by the extreme stuff; I like my bondage vanilla and flowery, and I'm not into bodily excretions that normally make their home in the sewer. Orgasmic secretions are great and much appreciated, though. :D I read some of everything - consensual, seduction, dub-con, and non-con.
Most of these requests don't have much to do with sex, though. :)
Requests:
Father Knows Best (TV):
This request is going to sound crazy, just so you know. Don't panic.
My fondest request for this fandom would be to see what the Andersons' lives would be like if they were dealing with something totally unexpected from a show like this, such as... what if they were a demon hunting family, like on "Supernatural"? (If you do a crossover, what if they interacted with Henry Winchester and the Men of Letters?) What if they investigated haunted houses and dealt with killer ghosts? What if Betty was a vampire slayer? Can you imagine how Bud would feel if he had to not only deal with an overachieving older sister, but one who was a better hunter than him, or one who had saved the world? Jim's a demonologist? An exorcist? Kathy is psychic? There are so many possibilities. How would all of these possible situations be handled differently, it being the 1950s vs. now?
I know, it's nuts, but I have these wonderful mental pictures of Betty and Jim with weapons and Betty delivering some colossal 1950s-style ass kickings.
(I think the only thing I wouldn't like here would be a zombie apocalypse or superhero AU.)
If this is something you simply can't wrap your head around, any story in the same basic vein as the following eps would be awesome.
Favorite episodes/moments:
1). The one where the family acted out the plot of the murder mystery show they'd been watching when the TV went out
2). The one where they listened to the broadcast from the boat caught in the storm and got totally overinvolved
3). The ep from season one where Jim's friend's wife, Jill, stayed with the family. We never saw Jill again. More interaction with Jill/a where is she now? sort of thing would be cool.
4). The ep where Kathy broke Betty's treasured pen, and Bud blackmailed her into being his slave, driving her to eventually go after him with a baseball bat
5). Ep where Betty was going out for the lead in the college dance/musical play and was up against a blonde girl who claimed she never practiced but was still a phenomenal dancer. Where is this girl now? What is her life like? I thought she was really interesting.
6). There's an ep somewhere where a girl said something negative about Margaret and Betty said if she said anything else bad about her mother, she would slap her face. Woo! Go Betty! (Love Betty being a moral badass but also being a totally overdramatic teenage girl.)
The Andersons being the same loving, protective, quirky family as always would make me a happy camper.
PropHunt (Video Game):
Just to make sure we're on the same page, here's a video of Pewdiepie playing PropHunt with others (you can see him but can only hear the people he's playing with).
Again, I'm crazy. I should just be able to watch these videos and laugh at how silly they are, people turning themselves into inanimate objects and then being chased around by elaborately costumed hunters. But no. I want a serious backstory of how this came about. Is it some sort of secret government experiment? How do people become Props? Are they actually shapeshifting into the objects, or do they have a way of just putting their consciousness into them? Why are they doing it? What sort of relationships do the Prop team have with each other? Where do the Hunters come into this? Why do they hunt the Props? Who lives and who dies?
You can see the opportunities for world building and angst in this as innocent people become lamps to hide from assassins, and get picked off one by one. No really, I'm serious, I want angst. O_O (If anyone actually offers this fandom, I'll probably faint.)
Pyromania - Def Leppard (Music Videos):
With visual references! :D
Joe Elliott
Blind Harp Player (That chick has no fucking eyes!)
Scryer
The Damsel, and another one
What I would appreciate here is a cohesive narrative that links together at least some of the fantasy imagery from Def Leppard's music videos. Primarily "Foolin'," "Rock of Ages," and "Photograph." Other characters you could include would be Marilyn Monroe, the Caged Wenches, the Monks/Druids, random chess players, other band members, etc. I'm not so much interested in the boys being their band member selves, but players in this fantasy drama. (Although if they are "Joe," "Steve," etc that's fine.) Would love to see the Terror Twins act as an embodiment of that nickname (Phil/Steve, woohoo!). Neon Triangle Bondage is appreciated! :D Big glowing sword is appreciated. A band member acting as a villain is appreciated. Feel free to fit other similar imagery from other DL videos in this story if they are inspiring.
"Photograph"
"Foolin'"
"Rock of Ages"
This prompt has the potential for lots of sword and sorcery type stuff, so let me say that I get kinda eye-rolly over elves and fairies. I do, however, like badass magickal women, dark forests, paranormal fantasy, quests, an unlikely band of heroes, that sort of sword and sorcery.
If you are so inspired, sexfic is fine for this request.
I'm not that enthused with Vivian, just so you know.
Random hilarious still I got of Joe while trying to get a good one, hahaha!
DreadOut (Video Game):
Video, to make sure we're on the same page:
This game isn't even out yet and already I'm really excited for it. I just love poor Linda dealing with whatever Indonesian ghosts and beasts she seems to be dealing with here with nothing to protect her but her cell phone. Any kind of spooky story about what the heck is happening to Linda and her friends would make me happy! And why did Teddy do it anyway?
(One of my favorite things is how Linda runs. She's such a girl, hee. I keep imagining her saying, "Oh, dear me... oh, dear me..." as she's scampering along.)
Other fandoms I'm throwing in for treats and such:
Miracles
I didn't do a formal request for this one because I've grown very picky about what I want, so it's better that it be a treat if anyone's going to write it at all. My OTP is Paul/Dean Winchester from "Supernatural," so that's always good. I would also love to see Castiel get involved. What kind of interaction would a guy like Paul and an angel have? What if there was Paul/Castiel, or Paul/Dean/Castiel? What if there was special angel sex? Oooooooh... shiny.
