Dear GenFreeform 2024 Exchange Creator,
Thank you so much for being part of this exchange! I’m looking forward to seeing what you create. Hopefully some of this will spark your creativity and you will have fun in the writing. Mix and match any of the likes you want, and my only hard lines are the DNWs. Have fun! . . . I’m so looking forward to what you come up with!
Feel free to ignore anything that refers to a romantic ship as this is being adjusted from my standard – Hey! Here’s what I like! – letter.

Extra likes – Strong alpha men that are wrapped around the fingers of the women they love. Protective men and women with sass. Dark, edgy characters who use that to protect the innocent and light. And I’m into women who are kickass – especially if it’s NOT in the physical sense. Give me the geniuses, the wise women, the counselors, or the homemakers who know it is the heart of the house that pulls the strings.
I have a MAJOR competence kink.
Give me all the fantasy, supernatural, dark, urban magic stuff you’ve ever wanted to write! Or a Mafia AU because that’s always fun.
I’m not here for explicit sex, but for the character connections and relationships.
You don’t have to include this, but if it is up your alley, I really like multiple levels of relationships. While I don’t like breakup/cheating fics, I enjoy seeing various levels of relationships. So . . . characters A & B are in a strong romantic relationship, but when character B has a particularly tough day, they go cuddle with character. Outsiders are sure they’re dating or having sex, but they’re not – and the other members in the romantic relationship don’t have any jealousy. (And yes, they may even share a bed, but it’s purely for sleep, cuddling, comfort – not sex.) I enjoy romance, but I also truly enjoy explorations of all levels of love – romantic, platonic, familial, etc.
FANDOM SPECIFICS:
Doctor Who (2005)
Twelve & Clara – go whichever way you prefer as long as there’s a happy ending for them. I love these two! Have them happy together running around the universe/timeline in the TARDIS. I love Twelve being grumpy and standoffish with everyone but Clara. Personally I don’t think we got enough play out of the various echoes, how they helped/tried to help the Doctor, and what the Tardis might have seen.
Hawkeye (2021)
Clint & Kate – I truly enjoy this partnership. I’d prefer Clint not be a complete disaster. He’s this awesome Avenger and badass secret agent . . . I’m pretty sure he knows how to survive day to day. Kate being new to the lifestyle is always amusing because the amateur is often ready to try something the expert hasn’t considered just because she doesn’t know it “isn’t done that way”. Really, what would it have been like, what would it have changed if they’d somehow met during the Blip?
Harry Potter Books
I’m basically open on a lot of things with this, but Bill, Harry, & Hermione are among my favorites – right along with Sirius & Remus. I’m also attached to a Good Narcissa Black . . . especially without Lucius. I’d love to see some stuff on how the varying cultures interact, or what might have changed in the world after the War. Bill’s not a werewolf, but he’s been marked, and I’d love to see Harry still a Parselmouth – how do they make their presence felt in the new world? A cameo with Teddy Lupin would be an extra gold star! Lily Evans and Narcissa Black would have been a dangerous combination.
The Hobbit
While I deeply enjoy the book, I also find the Dwarves as portrayed in the movie quite intriguing. I’d love to see something after the Quest where they all try and balance their new lives and responsibilities in the Mountain. How does Bilbo fit in? Please, no romantic ships among the company members, not even in the background.
Thank you so much! Have fun!
