thanks harley! and for @cha-melodius @rmd-writes and @sarnagati who also asked for this one.
🤍 White: What's a fanfic scenario or idea you'd like someone else to write so that you can read it?
OH BOY. there's a lot. there's so many actually. i think the simple answer is that i love reading fic that has been written by someone who really cares about the subject matter. there's nothing cooler to me than reading a fic which the author has clearly LOVED writing - whether that's because they're really invested in the character or because they've incorporated a bit of their own life experience, or otherwise. i think, as writers, we pour more of ourselves into our work than perhaps we even realise, and when that shines through i find it so incredible.
for example, if someone is super passionate about science or something - give me sexy firstprince in a lab. give me tarlos as marine biologists. give me a love story based on formulas and experiments and math that i don't understand. i will gobble it up.
SPORTS AUs - when people are super passionate about particular sports. @everwitch-magiks writing a damn figure skater au. do i know a single thing about ice skating?? NO! did i love it?? absolutely! do you know how little i know about baseball? do you know how many baseball AUs I have read??? it's obscene!
when people write a love story set in SPACE. i barely know all the names of the planets! but i love reading a fic in which world building is clearly very important to the author! same as mysteries or sci fi or mythical creatures (am i unhealthily obsessed with vampires?? probably!! @strandnreyes i'm going to blame YOU).
ART!!! i'm not an art historian but the knave verse by @liminalmemories21 is brilliant because I can feel how passionate lim is about the subject matter and the world.
give me anything - tarlos as allied health professionals at the same hospital, firstprince as undercover journalists, hangster as bartenders who moonlight as rival gamers. the world is our oyster!
idk. i know this is not a very useful answer in terms of giving people actual ideas (i do have an ideas list you can always hmu if you would like to steal one hehe), but i just love reading stuff that's a bit left of field and also just full of passion. i love when people are like hey i inserted some things i know about life and made these beloved characters react to it.
YUM.
thank you for the ask! sorry for the spiral!
