FemslashEx Letter 2019
Sep. 10th, 2019 10:28 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
whilst* I am literally on airport wifi now (9/27). Phone typing is my one-sided nemesis.
Whew, here we go! Dear author/artist,
Thank you for writing for me! (Or arting; we definitely didn't match on my fanart request, but in case you also roll that way, I don't have much direction, please have at it!)
First off, please disregard anything in here that doesn't help you; you can skip it all together if you like. As my lack of DNWs suggests, I don't have any triggers and hardly any squicks; in the realm of fictional storytelling, I have no morals and I like being convinced to like questionable things. If you already had a story in your heart (or your drafts) and it doesn't line up perfectly with my prompts, you have my enthusiastic permission to go ahead and pursue it.
In general, I am a poly-multi-shipper, by which I mean I ship all over the place, often in parallel, and not to exclusivity. I tend to be fond of canon ships and crack pairs in equal measure. When I say ship, I mean positive or negative, romantic/sexual/platonic, new or established or even sunk; again, I don't have any squicks or triggers and go both weird and hard, kink-wise, but I also really like gen, so please write whatever makes you happy.
For any prompt that includes "Original Female Character", feel free to interpret this as "Any Female Character," including other female characters from canon or in a crossover situation. You can also take liberties with the number of OFCs; I 100% do not mind.
On that note, I say this every time but I am very fond of crossovers and cross-canon parallels, so if you're familiar with more than one of these canons and want to give it a try, please do! For instance, HxH and KHR can probably match power levels, both CTHD and SG are about a wish being granted on the condition of the wish's purity, and I never met an intra-persona game crossover I didn't like. Canons that you aren't sure I'm familiar with are also fair game, I only ask that you avoid major spoilers in case I was planning on getting to it eventually.
I'm not a stickler on canon-details so please play fast and loose to get to the story/impact you want. I enjoy stories that grapple with questions; they don't necessarily need to provide answers. Other tropes I enjoy: identity porn, time-travel, incongruous social media, long-distant communication, posthuman morality questions, science and pseudoscience, well-researched finicky details (if research is your thing--no pressure if not), longing, partial/incomplete satisfaction, creepiness.
Canon-specific prompts

Prompt links: [HxH] ◊ [KHR] ◊ [SG] ◊ [CTHD] ◊ [NiF] ◊ [OtJ] ◊ [P4] ◊ [DoA]
1. Hunter x Hunter
Alluka Zoldyck/Original Female Character
Amane/Canary
Biscuit Krueger/Palm Siberia
Komugi/Neferpitou (Hunter X Hunter)
Kaito | Kite/Neferpitou (Hunter X Hunter)
Kaito | Kite/Spinner Clow
Mito Freecs/Original Female Character
Mito Freecs/Kaito | Kite
Mito Freecs/Oito Hui Guo Rou
Please feel free to mix and match canon universes as desired. For pronouns, if you write about them, I would prefer any kind of gender neutral pronouns for Pitou including the 2011 anime canon compliant "it". I don't have any preferences for gender pronouns for Kite, but I have a preference (considering the exchange) for a focus on the Chimera Ant version, and also a personal picky thing for them not to be referred to as an ant queen. That's not how chimera ant reproduction works. There were diagrams.
Alluka Zoldyck/Original Female Character – how is Killua handling Alluka dating, and for that matter, how is Nanika doing in there?
Amane/Canary –Thank you 2011 anime for planting this ship in my heart. Maybe a(nother) joint mission? I don't understand how the Zoldyck butler system can possibly be sustainable and would love to hear more about it.
Biscuit Krueger/Palm Siberia – Bisky is a gem hunter and Palm is... a jewel... Okay, no, and also they had some fun interplay early in the ant arc and I would like to see more develop.
Komugi/Neferpitou – Indirect loyalty kink? Maybe an AU where they survive Meruem and have to struggle to find a future they both can live with.
Kaito | Kite/Neferpitou – These two interest me so much! Kite is the origin of both of Pitou's Hatsu's and it's understanding of the significance of death, but they never spend much face time together. I'd love to see them talk philosophy. Also, because of who Pitou is as a being, let me reiterate how okay I am with unhealthy or disastrous relationships if that's the way you want to go.
Kaito | Kite/Spinner Clow – All of Kite'sgrad students Kakin Exploration Team seemed to take his transition really well. I'd like to see how they continue forward.
Mito Freecs/Original Female Character – All my Mito ships come down to: I would like Mito to have a good time. It might be nice to see a bit of her island life. There's also that thing Gon said about dates with visitors—maybe Mito's been on several too?
Mito Freecs/Kaito | Kite – I can't decide if these two would get along really well or really poorly considering their tangentially shared histories. Maybe you can pick one for me.
Mito Freecs/Oito Hui Guo Rou – Maybe they knew one another in the past? Considering where they are in the canon, this might have to be a more long distance relationship.

Mammon | Viper/M.M.
Luce/Lal Mirch
Aria/Sawada Nana
I'm late getting into getting into this canon, and truthfully, I'm only halfway caught up, but don't worry about spoilers or anything like that. I have really enjoyed the absurdity of the daily life arcs; a fic that matches the tone of the canon would be great! Something more realistic--missing scene or future fic--would also work. The canon often doesn't treat the female cast members very well, so I'm turning to you, dear writer. Please show me these girls growing and leveling up, experimenting, making mistakes, making influential choices on the bizarre world around them.

3. Skullgirls
Ms. Fortune/Minette (Skullgirls)
Sienna "Squigly" Contiello/Filia
Filia/Painwheel | Carol
Marie Korbel/Peacock
Valentine/Painwheel | Carol
Parasoul/Valentine (Skullgirls)
Parasoul/Annie (Skullgirls)
Parasoul/Original Female Character
Queen Nancy/Double | Sister Agatha
Selene Contiello/ Double | Sister Agatha
For this fandom, I'm not really picturing contextual-reassignment AUs. We get only so much lore about Canopy Kingdom and its surrounding nations or seedy history, and I would just love to more of the world. I don't have any attachment to which end you chose to set a story in, and although I'm less familiar with the newer line-up, feel free to include basically anyone in this universe.
Ms. Fortune/Minette; Sienna "Squigly" Contiello/Filia; Filia/Painwheel | Carol; Marie Korbel/Peacock – There are so many good childhood friend type relationships already in SG canon and for these ships it would be nice to see some missing scenes or any way they could be happy.
Valentine/Painwheel | Carol; Parasoul/Valentine – Valentine's history with Painwheel is so dark! I have such a thing for You Are My Important Person, and it really doesn't have to be a positive thing (which... it really can't be in this case). The history Valentine shares with Parasoul is only hinted at, but I would love to see it expanded. Are they ex-girlfriends? Star-crossed? Only marginally related, I also really really like Valentine's voice.
Parasoul/Annie; Parasoul/Original Female Character – Parasoul is definitely my favourite Skullgirl player character and I would love to see a ship between her and literally any other female character in the canon (including the two worst possible combination you can think of--let me reiterate my lack of fiction-based morals). With Annie in particular, I love that Parasoul is a fan and it delights me that they could meet.
Queen Nancy/Double | Sister Agatha; Selene Contiello/ Double | Sister Agatha – Since I've included prompts with Double, let me explicitly state that I enjoy noncon, xeno, and selfcest. For these two ships, I am imagining a fic about how Double seduces her mark, and maybe the effect this relationship has on her later encounters with Parasoul, Umbrella, or Squigly.

4. 臥虎藏龍 | Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Yu Shu Lien/Jen Yu
Jen Yu/Original Female Character
Yu Shu Lien/Original Female Character
Jen Yu/Jade Fox
Yu Shu Lien/Jade Fox
I rewatched this movie recently (it's on Netflix!) and it was as beautiful as I remember. It also had so much more femslash potential than I remember. I love every scene between ShenLien and Jen and would love a scenario where they find their way to a truer sisterhood (if you know what I mean wink wink). The jianghu is vast and there are also so many opportunities for them to meet someone who carries a little less weight of history. For Jade Fox, it's hard not to feel for Jade Fox, too, and the way life has poisoned her. I would love a fic where she is redeemed, but also a fic where she is exactly as she is and still gets some kind of justice or satisfaction. This canon seems like a really good one for a little magical realism or mythological elements thrown in; maybe one of these women has a flirtation with a spirit or is a spirit.
As an aside, I don't mind any mentions of Yu Shen Lien's relationship with Meng Sizhao or Li Mu Bai; I do also think this makes for a great opportunity for some bisexuality rep for both ShenLien and MuBai.

This is the only fandom I've requested fanart for. If this is also your speed, I'm imagining something with the gorgeous colours and scenery of the canon. Maybe a quiet missing scene between two characters.
5. 琅琊榜 | Nirvana in Fire
Princess Xuanji/Princess Linglong
Empress Yan/Consort Chen
Consort Jing/Consort Chen
Mu Nihuang/Yuwen Nian| Nian-nian
Qin Banruo/Prince Yu's Wife
Gong Yu/Original Female Character
Consort Jing/Original Female Character
It took a little while. I'm over my write-within-the-universe stage for this canon; if you want to write a modern AU or space empire AU or just about anything for any of these ships, please feel free to have at it.
Princess Xuanji/Princess Linglong; Empress Yan/Consort Chen; Consort Jing/Consort Chen – Among the older generation--Jing, Chen, Jinyang, Xuanji, Linglong--if you want to play up the sisterly aspect between Jing/Chen, Jing/Jinyang, or Xuanji/Linglong, please do. It would just be nice to see moments of connection between them all, what they hope for, what they keep secret even from their lovers. Most of their endings are so tragic (feel free to AU btw), a there's a lot of space here for unspoken understanding, starcrossed loves, unrequited feelings.... massacres and genocide. Alternatively: smut. I do also want to see them have a good time.
Mu Nihuang/Yuwen Nian| Nian-nian – I love the fact that they are historical enemies but not actual enemies, both noblewomen with substantial martial arts prowess. (I also love that the actresses are both in Ode to Joy and Nian-nian's character is full of admiration for Nihuang's. Like, same, girl.) I'd like to see them talk fighting technique or politics; I'd also just like to see them snog. :b
Qin Banruo/Prince Yu's Wife – The drama is so light-handed on the relationship between Consort Princess Yu and Banruo! The novel also gives some great suggestions; Banruo's subtle care for her prince/pawn's wife, and Consort Princess Yu's steely loyalty. I'd just love to see them ally and maybe share something good.
Gong Yu/Original Female Character; Consort Jing/Original Female Character – These two ships are grouped together because I sort of want something similar for them; I'd like to see Gong Yu or Consort Jing in the aftermath, after revenge/justice. I'd like to see them connect with someone and find intimacy or love or just decent sex that has nothing to do with their obligations to Mei Changsu or Lin Xie/Xiao Xuan/Xiao Jingyan.

Qu Xiaoxiao/Fan Shengmei
This fandom is a long shot, I know. Ode to Joy is a c-drama about five career women who live on the 22nd of an apartment complex in in modern day Shanghai. They begin the series single, and at all different stages of their lives, and help (or hinder) one another around life's curveballs. Unfortunately, the supporting cast is almost entirely male (although I enjoy them, mostly.) For fic, pretty much anything is fair game, including crossovers and AUs. Like for NiF, actually any combination of girls will hold my interest. I want Andy to sweep Fan-jie off her feet with her red sports car and lack of friends. I want Guanguan and Yingying to give up on boys and try kissing! Xiaoxiao/Shengmei fake dating! Make it tropey, make it ridiculous, have fun!

7. Persona 4
Amagi Yukiko/Original Female Character (P4)
Amagi Yukiko/Satonaka Chie (P4)
Amagi Yukiko/Kujikawa Rise (P4)
Amagi Yukiko/Margaret (P4)
For this fandom, I'd like to see future fic for the most part, either developing relationship, or established. I'd like to see Yukiko as a college student, or an adult, experimenting or already old hat. Chie and Yukiko are kind of a fandom classic and I will never be sick of them, while Rise seems like kind of a fun foil in terms of small-town/national idol. I've also requested the ship with Margaret because I'm just... intrigued by how this could happen. Please play fast and loose with canon timelines/specifics, or don't even stay in this universe at all. A genre swap AU—noir, western, fairytale, etc, might be interesting too.

Joyce Brown/Becky MacIntyre
Marcie Diaz/Malaya Eugenio
Becky MacIntyre/Dina Saruyama
Jennifer "Billie" Billingsworth/Ruth Lessick
Joyce Brown/Dorothy Keener
Marcie Diaz/Sal Walkerton
Repeating a previous letter, like the author, I relate a fair amount to Joyce so please... be kind to this poor girl. All of these ships have a canon basis and I would just like to see more of them.
I would prefer to avoid infidelity drama in the case of Billie and Ruth but have no feelings when it comes to the other ships. In fact, I do want to single out Joyce/Becky--I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, so say that I would be fine with something a story that is bittersweet, a sunk ship. If you want to give them a good ending, that's also fine!
I have no triggers and am impossible to squick, so go as hard as you like with the canon-typical concerns. Even the politics. As for prompts, future fic? Maybe it's 10 years later and Ruth and Billie are meeting up for tea, or Joyce is attending a Dorothy rally. Or in the present day, maybe they're celebrating their holidays on campus.
