Dear Fellow Wing(wo)man...

[sandy79]

...thank you so much for making anything for me! No matter what it is, I already know that I will love it to the moon (and back)! *hugs*

General Preferences
most of them fit both fics and fanart, though I have written them for writers

DO NOT WANT

- Non-canonical character death (especially, of course, in the pairings I requested, but also in general) - temporary character death is okay, but the "dead" character should be back with the others in the end (or at least the way back should begin to be paved)

- Funerals (comes from my RL abhorrence for them – too much bad emotion!) – visits to existing gravesites (with or without a heartfelt, one-sided conversation) are okay, though!

- Hurt without comfort

- Super dark!characters (accidental darkness (i.e. a character following another one in a manner that borders on stalking, but stays on the rather humorous side, especially if the followed character notices it early on and decides to play along) is okay, the same goes for using manners that are not exactly only on the good side to reach their goal ;)

- Character or ship bashing (If you can't stand a character/ship, please man up and contact the mods for a change, or reach out to me somehow, maybe we can find a way)

- No discussion of real-life politics and the awfulness therein!

- Rape/non-con (dub-con is okay to a certain degree - if you're not sure, please reach out)

- Breakup fic (you can break them up, but bring them back together in the end)

- Characters being shown as dumb / demoted in their intelligence / reduced to being just a "tool" in someone else's belt.

- No sexual situations with underage characters. Please age them up if you want to create something with them.

- for any A/B/O tags – no characterization of omegas as “birth machines” or demoting them their basic human rights

- When writing characters with a disability (in canon/temporary) – please don’t picture that disability as a handicap (e.g. a blind character that has to completely rely on other people to get the most basic things in live done). A lot of disabled people in RL have adapted and live a wonderful, rich life like any other, so please keep that in mind.

- Another absolute No-Go for me: ANY form of racism, misogyny, discrimination because of sexual orientation, gender, religion or color (not even a trace of it, please!).

LIKES

Smart characters!
Or (at least) being competent in what they are doing, even when they know there might be consequences (can also be used as a kink!)

Idiots in Love!
Which means for me the characters are pining for each other without knowing the other's true feelings, and usually realize it later on (with or without some helping hands!)

Everybody's Alive!
Most of my fandoms have their share of sad-ending relationships (in any flavor), so if you can give me some happy ending, with nobody dying (as noted above, temporary deaths are okay), and with as much fluff as you can, I'm (more than) good!

Romance Tropes!
I'm pretty much game for almost all of them XD (if written in a good way), but I have kind of a soft spot for the following: friends with benefits (that might evolve into something more serious), slight jealousy/possessiveness (not over the top display, please, but simple gestures/words are okay - as long as both partners can laugh about it afterwards, you're good), Cuddling (works also on the friendship front), Misunderstandings (as long as they are clarified and don't drive a wedge between the characters), Fake Dating (that evolves into real dating), Fake Marriage, A/B/O (in a way that doesn't display omegas as birthing machines only/demotes them to humans with no rights whatsoever), Bed Sharing (both at the beginning of a love relationship or friendship), Meet-Cutes (and Meet-Uglys that get turned around)

AUs!
Don't get me wrong, I love my fandoms just right as they are (in terms of setting/time and all that jazz), but I love reading about the characters in a different time/setting. Favorites include: Space AU, Modern AU (for any fandom that's usually set in an earlier time frame - vice versa for any modern setting fandom), Band AU

Working relationships!
In a way where the characters have managed to have an established relationship while working in the same field (for example cops, or FBI agents), probably despite the misgivings of their bosses, but now they have to live with the "consequences" aka the emotions that threaten to take them over when the other half is in a dangerous situation (and yes, they know each other better, but especially when one of them is known for reckless behavior, they can't help but worry, most of the time to the slight amusement of their colleagues)

Case fics!
Be it within the lines of the established fandom setting or in an AU, a clever written case, with some unexpected twists and turns and some mystery (that isn't too difficult to explain in the end), is very welcomed and enjoyed at this place!

Smut!
As I love to write whenever something like this letter comes up - I'm a big girl, so don't hesitate to go as smutty as you are comfortable with! First times are as perfect as new sides in an established relationship - as long as the characters are happy afterwards, I'm as well! For Artists: don't be afraid to show certain bits (both boys and girls) ;)

Crossovers & Fusions!
I usually request this in signups only if I have a slot free, but I’m always open for crossovers (even with fandoms I’m not so familiar with XD). The same goes for fusions (e.g. Neal Caffrey being an MI-6 agent like James Bond, maybe meeting him).

Music!
I'm a music aficionado at heart (with a heavy preference for music up until the early 1990's), a huge Bon Jovi fan, but if you can incorporate any song out there, feel free to broaden my horizon, so to speak. I also never say no to any kind/variation of Band AU/Musician AU.

Strong Female Characters!
That’s something that turned up on my radar rather recently XD I love independent characters in general, but there’s something about it in combo with a female character. And if they have a so-called “weak” moment, it’s either because they chose it themselves, or that they feel comfortable enough in the company of others to let their guard down.

There's definitely more to these lists, but these are my absolute favorites (or dislikes). And I repeat once again: If you're not sure about anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.

*********************

Fandoms

I might give you some pointers as to what I would love to see/read, but in the end, I'm open to anything you want to give me. Of course you can include any other character from the fandoms, but please keep the focus on the pairings listed ;)

Star Wars All Media Types
(was split up in the sign-up)

For a very long time, I wasn't really interested in the adventures from a galaxy far, far away. Well, until January 2023, when I finally took the plunge and started with the movies. By now, I have made my way also into the TV shows (and have fallen oh so hard for a cute, small, green-skinned being and his adoptive daddy XD). Nonetheless, my top three characters are still Padmé, Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor version), and Poe Dameron, with pretty much everyone else following behind (a few exceptions for Empire and Sith members, though, but I'll accept them showing up in a guest star manner anyway)

Characters
- Poe Dameron
- Anakin Skywalker
- Finn
- Leia Organa
- Luke Skywalker
- Obi-Wan Kenobi
- Padmé Amidala
- Rey
- Bo-Katan Kryze
- Ahsoka Tano

Star Wars: The Bad Batch

Ever since they were first introduced in "Attack Of The Clones", the clone troopers are somewhat like the backbone of the Star Wars franchise. And while we always had clones that stood out from the crowd, like Rex, Cody, Fives or Echo, the introduction of Clone Unit 99 in the first episode of "The Clone Wars" Season 7 was a quite remarkable one, especially because the five guys in that unit not only looked quite differently to the other clones, they also had a much different behavior to the regular soldiers. I liked them in the two episodes of TCW, and really came to love them in the two seasons of "The Bad Batch" we had so far. Feel free to have other characters around as well, but please keep any of the Imperial officers and scientists at a minimum.

Characters
- CT-21-0408 | CT-1409 | Echo
- CT-9901 | Hunter
- CT-9902 | Tech
- CT-9903 | Wrecker
- CT-9904 | Crosshair

Marvel Cinematic Universe

I love the MCU in general, and there are probably a handful characters that I can't stand (mostly the villains). My most favorite characters are Clint Barton, Marc Spector and Bucky Barnes, with everyone else right behind them (to a certain degree with some characters, but that's more due to storytelling). Feel free to include certain aspects from the comics as well (i.e. Clint being deaf/having to wear hearing aids, or having Lucky at his side, or Bucky taking up the mantle of Captain America). I'm pretty much open for any pairings, as long as they are working for me (or you can explain it why these two characters are perfect together). Only exceptions are: Bruce/Natasha (as teased in Age of Ultron); Steve/Sharon (as implied in Civil War), Grandmaster/Loki (this is more on the fic side, I didn't get that certain vibe from the movie); any pairings that involve any of the bad guys (like Rumlow, or Rollins), I accept past relationships here, but no present ones.

Characters
- James "Bucky" Barnes
- Skye | Daisy Johnson
- Tony Stark | Iron Man
- Pepper Potts
- James "Rhodey" Rhodes
- Thor
- Loki
- Riley
- Tony Stark
- Brunnhilde | Valkyrie
- Layla El-Faouly
- Marc Spector
- Sam Wilson
- Shuri
- Steven Grant
- Yelena Belova
- Natasha Romanov
- Steve Rogers
- T'Challa

Hawkeye (TV)

Ever since I first saw "The Avengers", Clint Barton is one of my absolute favorite MCU characters. Most of this is due to Jeremy Renner playing him, but some credit has to be given to the character himself as well. I even started to read the comics thanks to him, and up to this day, the Fraction verse is one of my most favorite comics. So when a show incorporating certain things from this verse into the MCU was announced, I was thrilled. But then the showrunners not only gave us the most perfect Kate Bishop, they also brought one of my favorite characters from "Black Widow" into the mix with Yelena Belova. Feel free to include Lucky and the Barton kids in your work, but leave out the entire Tracksuit Mafia storyline, as well as Eleanor Bishop and Wilson Fisk.

Characters
- Clint Barton

The Magnificent Seven

I more or less discovered this little gem via the proverbial scenic route XD In this case, it was because Eric Close, who plays Vin Tanner on this one, caught my attention as Martin Fitzgerald on “Without a Trace”. After watching the 22 episodes of this show, I not only had him on my favorite characters list, but almost all of the Seven as well, lead by Michael Biehn and Anthony Starke, as Chris Larabee and Ezra Standish, respectively.

Characters
- Vin Tanner

Star Trek: Voyager

The most recent addition to my favorite series list XD While I'm an "old" trekkie, I was mostly based in the TNG universe and only added the Alternate Origins Series (aka the Reboot movies) to my circles. Until now, when I finally started to watch Voyager. I pretty much like everyone in the crew, but can live without any of the Kazon ;)

Star Trek: The Next Generation

This is hands down the oldest fandom in this letter. I grew up with watching the episodes on TV, and even to this day, I watch it when I happen about an episode while channel surfing. I love almost the entire bridge crew (yes, even Wesley), but I definitely can live without Q (he just annoys me)

She-Ra And The Princesses Of Power (2018)

Almost 40 years ago, I was one of many, many girls who had the "dolls" (now, I'd rather label them as action figures, but I digress XD), along with the horses, parts of the castle, and many more toys, along with a sticker album and several cassette tapes with radio plays. Long story short, I was a huge fan of the "old" She-Ra. Until a few years back, I didn't even know about this series, and it did take me until this year that I finally sat down and watched it completely. Sure, the transistion from old to new in my brain took some episodes, but from the episode where we hear Swift Wind speak for the first time at the latest I was hooked. Love all the princesses, along with Bow, his dads, Sea Hawk, Micah and Angella, but can do without Hordak and his horde (Shadow Weaver is okay, but still keep her to a minimum, please)

The Old Guard (movie)

I finally got around to watch it (had on my to-do-list for eons XD), and while I still have some questions, I love the team, especially Joe and Nicky. I can do without the CEO/villain and his henchmen (including the doctor)
