luzulaMight as well do this now, since there wasn't much information in my sign-up. I kept two of my requests from last year, and replaced the one that was filled.
My first request was for Fraser family gen. If you happen to know me at all, you probably know that this is kind of my fannish obsession. I love all the little references to Fraser's family history that are scattered through canon, and I love stories that fill in the blanks. I'm interested in them all as characters, but since Fraser is my favorite character, I'm also interested in their influences on him.
If you want ideas, here are a few: We know that Bob wrote to Caroline when he was away, so you could write an epistolary story featuring their correspondence. Or how about a story about Bob and Buck's partnership? What was the relationship between Caroline and Martha like? In "Letting Go", Bob doesn't look particularly surprised when Martha turns up, does this mean ghosts are common in the Fraser family? What about Caroline, did she haunt Bob after her death? Did Benton get up to anything wildly dangerous as a kid (you know he did)? How did he reach his decision to go to Depot, and did Martha and George encourage him or not?
And I know the request was for gen, but canon pairings like Bob/Caroline and Martha/George are obviously welcome, and you could also write about possible pairings from Fraser's youth.
My second request was for a Fraser-centric vid. I know nothing about vidding, but I love to watch vids, and whatever you make for me will probably make me squee. I'd prefer something serious rather than comedy, and my tastes run mostly to various kinds of folk music, although I like lots of other stuff, too. If you want a concrete idea, I would love something about Fraser's relationship to his father. If there's too little footage of Bob, or there's something else that makes my idea impracticable (I really do know nothing about vidding), I would love anything Fraser-centric. Maybe a Fraser/Canada vid? Really, as long as it's about Fraser, I will be happy.
My third request was for Fraser/Smithbauer. You could write backstory for them, or something tied to the episode, or whatever else your muse wants. Any rating works for me, whether it's porn, or UST that's bordering on gen.
Random other stuff that I like:
- magical realism
- landscape and nature description
- documentation style fics (i e based around documents or letters)
- angst (definitely not necessary, though--I love happy fic, too. Just letting you know it's fine if you want to write about, for example, someone dying or a couple breaking up.)
ETA: Just remembered something I'm not so fond of that you might want to know about: jealousy/possessiveness. I mean, it's fine for someone to feel a bit jealous as a component of a relationship, because that's a feeling that you have to deal with sometimes, but please no heavy jealousy/possessiveness. It doesn't work written as a consensual kink for me, either (but I am perfectly fine with someone being bossy/toppy in bed in other ways).
Right, I hope I've given enough information here. And finally, I hope you have fun writing/vidding! I will love whatever you come up with, I promise. : )
