Dear Femslash Exchange Author
Oct. 14th, 2023 10:54 pmGenre thoughts: I love both the fluffiest of fluff and the smuttiest of smut. I don’t expect to see both in the same fic, but if you can make it work, power to you. I have a complicated relationship with angst - it’s fine if there’s some there, but I prefer it conclude with a happy ending. Given that I have multiple fandoms that include teenagers, please make sure everyone is 18+ - and that it’s made clear in the fic - if there’s going to be any smut.
Character death thoughts: Permanently killing a main character is a big fat DNW for me. Referencing the death of a minor character is okay, as long as it’s not a primary plot point. Basically - fic opens at a funeral or passing reference to someone that died before the events of the story, okay. Minor character dying in the middle of the story, DNW. Temporary character death is okay, as long as the resurrection occurs at the end of the story. Fix-it option for anyone dead in canon.
Pregnancy/kid fics: Yes please. I adore all sorts of kid fics.
SFW DNWS: on screen-death of any character, permanent death of a major character, angsty endings
NSFW DNWS: dub-con/non-con (unless otherwise explicitly stated), extreme kink, body fluids not meant to be involved in sex
Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Related Fandoms
Tara Maclay/Willow Rosenberg
I love these two so much and Joss did them dirty by killing off Tara. I’d love to see an AU where that never happens and they get to build a life together.
Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon
Alicent Hightower/Rhaenyra Targaryen
I’d love to see an AU where Alicent and Rhaenyra are a secret couple when the show starts and Alicent confides in her girlfriend when her father tries to pimp her out to baby trap the King. Up to you if Viserys still marries Allicent - but without the antagonism between her and Rhaenyra - or if he accepts Lord Corlys’s offer of Laena’s hand, or if he just never remarries. Or you can just set it before that decision needs to be made and ignore Viserys completely.
Marvel Cinematic Universe
Carol Danvers/Maria Rambeau
I’d love to see either a) something set before Carol gets her powers where they’re raising Monica together, but are “just friends” because they can’t be open about their relationship because of military protocols or b) a post-Captain Marvel AU where Carol stays in Maria and Monica’s lives.
Maria Hill/Natasha Romanov
I’d love to see these two badass ladies bonding over dealing with the boys. “The boys” does not necessary need to be The Avengers, it can also be the idiots like Grant Ward that seem to think the woman should just be eye candy.
Sharon Carter/Maria Hill
Given Maria’s position in SHIELD, she’s likely one of the few people that know who Sharon actually is. I’d love to see something while Sharon’s posing as Steve’s nurse neighbor and Maria is one of the only people that she can be herself around.
Sharon Carter/Natasha Romanov
I’d love to see a post-Civil War AU here were Nat and Sharon are together - either Sharon helping Nat during the events of the Black Widow movie or something after teaming with with Sam & Steve.
Peggy Carter/Angie Martinelli
I’d love to see something set after Season 1 of Agent Carter where they’re living together in one of Howard’s homes. Let’s just ignore all the California stuff from season 2 where Angie was noticeably absent.
One Tree Hill
Brooke Davis/Peyton Sawyer
Instead of basically competing for Lucas’s affections, they decide “screw him” and end up together instead. It can be set during high school or in season 5 after the college years time jump.
Power Rangers
Aisha Campbell/Kimberly Hart
I see this as them getting together in season 3 while Kim is living with Aisha and her family. I’d prefer a scenario where Tommy and Kim never dated (I'd be down with him dating one of the guys as a background ship if you're so inclined). You can keep it in that early season 3 time frame, make it an AU where Kim doesn’t leave, or have them navigate the long-distance relationship. Please set it before the transition to Zeo.

Elizabeth Delgado/Sydney Drew
I’d love to see a getting together fic for these two. How to they get from opposite sides of the law to lovers?
Kira Ford/Tori Hanson
I’d love to see these two bonding over being the only girl on their respective teams - probably with plenty of complaining about the boys. I’m good with it being set after the NS/DT team up episodes or later on during the Once a Ranger on Operation Overdrive.
Maya/Kendrix Morgan
Maya seems to be the one that reacts the most strongly at Kendrix’s perceived death, so clearly they’re very close. I’d love to see a reunion fic after they restore Mirinoi and it’s revealed that Kendrix is still alive/back from the dead.
Stargate
Sam Carter/Vala Mal Doran
I’d love to see this set in the context of DADT where Sam has to explain to Vala why she can’t tell just anyone that they’re together. The rest of SG-1 (I’m including Jack in this, even though he’d already been promoted off the team) can know, but beyond that it’s secret.
