Innumerable Stars letter

Sun, 12 Sep 2021 17:09:07 GMT

Dear Innumerable Stars Author,

Hello! Thank you so much in advance for your work--this is my first fic exchange in a LONG time, and I am super excited! I offered some prompts in my signup, and will probably not be more detailed than that in this letter, but I hope it hits the sweet spot of giving you some ideas but not being too specific/giving you a lot of artistic leeway. I'm pasting the prompts below, as well as expanding a bit on my likes and DNWs because I remembered some that I forgot (like i said, it's been a long time). As follows:

( Likes )
( DNWs )( Requests )

Thank you so much again!!! I can't wait to see what you come up with :D

Yuletide Letter

Sun, 26 Oct 2014 02:06:49 GMT

Dear Yuletide Writer,

First of all, thank you so much in advance!! I am sure I am going to love whatever you write. I am fairly easy to please, and am a firm believer in “optional details are optional,” so if none of my prompts strike your fancy, please feel free to take liberties! That being said, prompts below:

Saga: Klara is my absolute favorite character of the comic, and I would absolutely love to see more of her backstory. What did she do before she met Barr? What was their early life together like? How was it raising Marko? Any of these would be great! Alternatively, I will never say no to Lying Cat & The Will adventures.

Chronicles of Prydain: I would adore some Coll backstory here, and/or stories of him and Dallben having low-grade adventures around Caer Dallben. And/or Coll slowly figuring out how the heck to be a father figure to baby Taran.

Thrawn Trilogy: I specifically only requested crew members of the Wild Karrde, mainly because I am in love with everyone on that ship and long to see more shenanigans and adventures starring everyone.

Old Kingdom: I would LOVE to see more of Lirael and Sabriel interacting following the events of Abhorsen—you never get to see them interacting as sisters following the big reveal, and I imagine that would be a lot for them to both have to navigate.

Thanks again, and happy Writing!

<3 Suzelle

Fandom Snowflake Challenge, Day 1

Wed, 01 Jan 2014 19:52:25 GMT

Don't know how many of these I'm going to have a chance to do, but taking advantage of my day off to at least do the first day!

Day One

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Or, What Suzanne Did With Herself Those Two Months She Was Unemployed. This was my magnum opus of summer 2012, and remains the longest story I've ever completed. In some ways it's extremely self-indulgent (a crossover fic featuring two badass ladies sparring plus a whopping dollop of Bruce Banner angst aaaw yeah), and in other ways it was an active attempt on my part to work on aspects of writing that, at the time, were difficult for me (heavy dialogue, action scenes, sustaining a full plot arc over something that turned out to be novella-length). There are things about it that now make me wince (pretty much all the dialogue I wrote for Tony, and a lot of Lin's internal monologuing), but it's solid, and I remain proud of the structure even if some of the minor details are lacking. Also: LIN BEIFONG JOINS THE AVENGERS remains one of the best ideas I've ever had, no matter how the execution played out :P.

Put All Your Words Away (Incredible Hulk/Avengers AU)

Brooke Banner's childhood, from the perspective of her aunt.

This is a fic that is so AU I could very easily change just a few tiny details and make it my own original fiction. Which I still might do, someday. I'd written a lot of genderswapped Avengers fic before this, and my pre-occupation with a female Bruce Banner led me to think way too much about her backstory, which then led to the full development of Banner's aunt, Jen Robertson, and everything sort of spiraled from there. Not a lot of people read it, I'm guessing because it was so AU, but it's really important to me both in terms of the development of these characters and in terms of proving to myself that I could write about people who didn't have superpowers :P. Also I'm just really in love with both of these characters. Especially Jen.

A Mother's Gift (Lord of the Rings)

Ivorwen and Gilraen contemplate the nature of foresight.

I got back into LOTR fandom at the end of this summer after a loooong hiatus, almost by chance. I actually don't remember now which came first--seeing Fellowship in theaters again (thank you, MOMA), or if I'd already started working on some fic as a way to procrastinate editing my theater history article. Regardless, the two sort of conflated, and I spent all of August trying to resurrect an Aragorn-centric WIP that I'd begun and then abandoned well over two years ago. It's still not finished and now may never be (unless I can find the inspiration/energy to gut it from the inside out), but I still wanted to be writing Dúnedain stories, and September's Teitho prompt lit the perfect spark. The women of the Dúnedain have captivated me from the beginning, and Ivorwen and Gilraen have long fulfilled that maddening position of "favorite characters and there is so little fic about them." So I went and wrote some myself! This was a hard labor of love and no small amount of "l;aksjdfkljsadf I'm basically a newbie all over again help," but it's one I think I'm going to be proud of for a long time to come.

Dear Yuletide Writer,

FIRST AND FOREMOST sorry this is so late I hope that you do check back for this haha. SECOND AND ALSO FOREMOST: thank you so much in advance! I know I am going to love whatever you come up with. Third: my fandoms! My requests are short this year, for which I apologize, but the upshot is that I love these fandoms so much (and there is so little fic of them) that I'm game for pretty much anything and everything!

FF: Fun shenanigans here would be very much loved! I'm really into the team dynamics of these guys, and Jen is my favorite ever, so something starring her would be great! :D

Saga: So these characters weren't listed as an option but I would LOVE love love a story centering on Klara and Barr...basically anything involving them, and/or gapfillers with Barr as CUTEST GRANDDAD EVER.

Tricksters - Tamora Pierce: Dove is my favorite and my one disappointment with the series is that we get to see her come into her own but never the aftermath--so anything with her being a badass queen would be loved! And/or something exploring her relationship with her sister.

Thrawn Trilogy: Shenanigans aboard the Wild Karrde / more on Mara's relationships with any/all of the crew members. I love Mara and I love Karrde and can never see enough of them.

Again, thank you so much in advance!! Happy writing!!

Love,
Suzelle

Dear Yuletide Writer,

Assignments went out and I realized HEYO I SHOULD ACTUALLY WRITE THIS LETTER.

First and foremost, thank you SO very much for whatever you produce, I know I will love it so much. Optional details are of course very optional, I'm not picky with these fandoms at all.

Federal Theatre Project RPF:

First of all, if this is the fandom you offered, YOU ARE AMAZING AND WE SHOULD BE REAL FRIENDS AFTER ALL THIS. I wrote my senior thesis on these people a year ago and miss them so very terribly, so BLESS YOU FOREVER

Anything with Welles and Houseman trolling Hallie Flanagan/generally being difficult, anything with Harry and Hallie working through their jobs and reminiscing about the good times they had together in college, just...mostly anything with these people, I will love!

Law and Order:

I have a lot of feelings about Claire and a lot of feelings about Jack. ANY sort of gapfiller detailing the origin/nature of Claire/Jack...the great and agonizing thing about this pair was that it was all off-screen, so subtle, so it'd be great to see how things actually unfolded.

Children of Men:

Continuing the "backstory of tragic lovers" theme, I would love a Theo/Julian backstory. Though, considering that all of these characters are immensely fascinating to me, and I love/hate that we only get to see them for a brief time of their lives, if writing the backstory for another character strikes your fancy (Kee, Jasper, any of them really), that would also make me quite happy.

Once again, thank you so much for whatever you put out, I know I will love it!

<3 Suzelle

After a month and a half of writing and editing up the wazoo...my epic Avengers/Korra crossover is complete!! I don't even know how many Avengers or Korra fans I have on this here flist, but hopefully a couple of you will enjoy this!! There are a multitude of Bruce Banner feels, Natasha Romanov feels, and Lin Beifong feels. Because I am me.

"Metal Webs," or, that one time Lin Beifong infiltrated the Avengers

Yuletide Letter

Sun, 20 Nov 2011 20:24:19 GMT

Dear Yuletide author,

First and foremost, thank you so very much for whatever treasure I know you will produce. This is my third year participating in Yuletide and it never fails to bring me piles of joy. I am giving slightly more detailed requests this year than I usually do, but optional details are optional! I can guarantee you I will absolutely love whatever you write for me.

My fandoms and specific requests are as follows:

Cradle Will Rock (1999)

I love the hot mess that is this movie, but I'm sad we never got to see much of Hallie Flanagan! She was a fierce badass lady, but she's not really in this much. Therefore, I would request a deleted/extended scene of sorts, stemming from the scene where Orson Welles invites her out to go drinking with him/Houseman/Blitzstein and she says she can't because they're going to a place that's too fancy for a civil servant :P. I would ADORE a fic in which she actually takes him up on his offer and goes out for drinks with them. She would totally be the resigned, professional mother-type in the face of their shenanigans and I think it could be hilarious. Alternatively, any sort of drunken shenanigans involving Welles/Houseman/Blitzstein would be greatly appreciated!

The Kingkiller Chronicle - Patrick Rothfuss

I don't really have a specific request here, other than I would like it to feature more on the minor characters than Kvothe himself. I adore Wil, Sim, Devi, Kilvin, Elodin, the whole sorry lot of them, but as this is Kvothe's story we don't get as much of them as I'd like. So...anything focusing on any one of the supporting characters! Truly not picky :D

Provost's Dog - Tamora Pierce

Okay, I have two different requests here, depending on whether or not you have read Mastiff yet... if you have not, ignore the first request due to spoilers.

( Spoilers for Mastiff )

Alternatively, I would request any sort of fun story involving female-friendship-bonding time between Sabine, Goodwin, and Beka. A girls-night-out interrupted by some form of madcap shenanigans, perhaps? Sabine/Goodwin trying to get Beka to go out and actually have a good time for once? The possibilities are endless!

You can go by these or not as your heart desires, hopefully I am not being too too specific! Whatever you write will bring me joy, I am sure. Thank you so much in advance, and good luck!

Love,
Suzelle

Dreamwidth still confuzzles me. One of these days I'll figure it out. Not this week, though. Not until I have my schedule finalized. Which, really, should have happened FIVE DAYS AGO. Blargh.

Hi there!

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 01:46:31 GMT

So, watersword finally convinced me to open a Dreamwidth account. Considering I only just got acclimated to LJ a few months ago I'll probably stick to using that site in the short term (I'm "Suzll" over there because I couldn't think of a good phonetic spelling for my nickname until half an hour ago). I'll probably start using Dreamwidth slowly but surely, however =). That's it for now! Off to continue my new obsession with Battlestar Galactica. And maybe get ice cream. Yum.
