canadiandiamond | Dear Author letter - Rare Pair 2014 (Reply)

Hi dear author,

First off, thank you for writing me something, and I'm sure I'll love whatever it is you decide to write! I can't wait to see what you come up with, and hopefully you've had fun writing it as well.

I'm not all that picky when it comes to requests, as you'll no doubt see when you read my notes below. Happy endings, sad endings, major character death, angst, all are ok with me. The only things I really don't want to see are incest, underage, rape/non-con, and dubcon, please.

With that being said, here's some more specific comments on the fandoms/characters I've requested:

Community

Annie Edison/Britta Perry, Britta Perry/Jeff Winger: I picked these two pairings since I'm just about equally curious as to how either could potentially work. With Britta and Jeff, she seems to make him more vulnerable and honest compared to his past relationships with women - how much more would he change if they were a permanent thing? How would he affect her? And with Annie/Britta what would that do to Annie? Would she end up being more confident and come out of her shell, and what about Britta? It'd be interesting to see how all of them evolve in either situation. I'm open to any AUs you'd like to explore to make this happen as well, and I'm also ok with wherever you'd like to set it - during any of the show's seasons, in between seasons, in the future, etc.

This is an awesome show where I love pretty much all the main characters. I'm ok with you having any of the case appear in the fic as long as it focuses on one of the main pairs, of course, however as an aside I don't ship Abed/Troy and really would prefer to have them just be friends if you do use them, please.

How I Met Your Mother

Ted Mosby/Mother, Lily Aldrin/Marshall Eriksen: I don't really watch much television on a live basis, it's mainly Netflix or on DVD/Bluray these days, but this show was an exception. The ending... well, I won't spoil it in case you've not seen it, but I'd be ok with you substituting your own ending, should you wish to do so, if you're writing around that time or later. Or feel free to write about the characters before the ending, or before the show even. I'll be honest in that I've never really been a huge Ted fan, funnily enough, but I love the Mother and to see her in any way, shape, or form so I'm ok with including him, haha. Marshall/Lily are also my OTP and I'd love to see anything about them.

I love all of their friendship, so if you'd like to include any of the other characters in the background that's great too.

Marvel Cinematic Universe

Maria Hill/Natasha Romanov, Jane Foster/Darcy Lewis: I hadn't thought about Maria/Natasha until I started reading more fanfic set in the MCU to be honest, but ever since I've checked it out I've been a fan. My head canon is that Maria was responsible for Natasha once she was brought into the fold, but you don't have to run with that obviously. Anything you'd like to do with them would be great, whether it's pre-Avengers, set during that time frame, or later than that (I've seen the new Captain America so no worries about spoilers fyi!). Likewise, Jane/Darcy was something I came across in fanfic and have been a big fan ever since then. I'd love to see whatever you'd like to write about them, and am up to speed on all of the movies so no worries about spoilers.
