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:

Archer, Arrested Development, Community, How I Met Your Mother, New Girl, Parks and Recreation

Archer - I love everyone on this show, especially Cheryl, so anything you'd like to write would be awesome I'm sure. :D

Arrested Development - My favourite character is probably Gob, but they're all awesome in their own right. If I had to choose whether you'd set it around the first series or the Netflix one, I'd probably prefer the former but I've seen and enjoyed the latter as well.

Community - Annie Edison/Britta Perry and Britta Perry/Jeff Winger are the two pairings I'm most fond of here, and 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 them appear in the fic, 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 - 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.

New Girl - I just love Jess a bunch, anything you'd want to do with her and the others would be awesome! Part of me ships Jess/Cece but not hardcore, really. I've only watched season 1 so far as an aside, I keep meaning to catch up but haven't had the chance, so if you do write something it'd be awesome if there weren't any spoilers. :)

Parks and Recreation - Ron Swanson is the man, totally. I'd love to see anything featuring/including him, and like most of these other shows I've picked I love just about everyone in this show. I'm especially fond of his interactions with Andy and Leslie, both in very different ways but fatherly as well, if that makes sense? Anything would be awesome for sure. :D
