Screen Exchange 2018 Dear Creator Letter
May. 1st, 2018 09:56 pmDear Screen Exchange Creator,
Hi!!! Thank you for signing up for this exchange, and I'm so sorry that you're stuck with me. :p I love to read, and I'm not hard to please with fanfic, but that also comes with a side of me tending to be vague when I'm making requests. Some pairings I'm much more attached to than others, but I tried to include alternate pairings because I know not everyone shares my OTPs. I like fluff and smut. Giving me glimpses of functional, happy relationships is always a good road to take. I'm also a big fan of the "families of choice" ideology, so if you're not up for ship fic you can always take the gen family fluff route.
DO NOT WANT:
A/B/O
incest
blood play
pedophilia
second person POV and/or Character/Reader fic
Marvel Cinematic Universe
The easiest way to always make me happy in the MCU is to give me fun with Darcy Lewis. I know she's a bit character, but between Kat Dennings and the rapid-fire millennial attitude that she gave us I absolutely adore her. I'm heavily in the "Darcy Lewis, Fandom Bicycle" camp, so you can't really go wrong with whatever pairing you choose to put her in. Actually, I'm fairly certain I've read and enjoyed fic with her paired with every conceivable person in the MCU. Even the guy playing Galaga on the helicarrier in the first Avengers movie. There's a surprising number of fics with that kid.
I have seen Infinity War (multiple times), so you don't have to worry about hitting me with spoilers. However, I'm not looking for the kind of angst that I know Infinity War inspires. I don't need that heavy of a plot or an explanation for how it's all resolved. Give me stuff that happens before that movie or jump way ahead and give me things after it's all put to rights and everyone's happy (ish) again.
Darcy Lewis/Stephen Strange
This right here? This is the OTP. I crave Darcy with Doctor Strange. They both have snark and pop culture references for days. Plus, there's an endless supply of magician/wizard/sorcerer names that Darcy could call him by. I'm big on the idea of Darcy folding him into her seemingly endless group of people she takes care of. Whether that means she's still working with scientists or Avengers or has just switched to interning for Masters of the Mystic Arts is entirely up to you. I like her surprising him because Stephen always thinks he's the smartest guy in the room and Darcy is so used to that schtick that she's not having any of it. Basically anything you give me with these two is going to be gold.
Darcy Lewis/Peter Quill
Peter has a lot of music to catch up on, and I think Darcy is the perfect person to do that catching up. There's so much potential for snark and humor here, and I am all about it.
Darcy Lewis/Thor and Darcy Lewis & Thor
Whether they are the best of bros, aromantic fuckbuddies, or the greatest romance of all time, I love Darcy and Thor. I like the idea of the two of them taking a full on bro spa day where they chill out in fuzzy bathrobes, trade hair grooming tips, and binge watch Black Sails. I like the idea of them having lots of sweaty sex. I like the idea of Thor wanting her to be his lady-love for the remainder of her too-short mortal life. You really can't go wrong with these two together for me no matter what the dynamic is between them.
Peter Parker & Shuri, Peter Parker & Tony Stark
Like about 90% of the internet, I have a desperate need to see Peter Parker and Princess Shuri get together to geek out and make everyone's life a living hell--particularly Tony and T-Challa. Just imagine all the trouble they could get into! The fun they could have! The gray hairs they would cause! Straight humor and crack is the way to go.
The Guardians of the Galaxy
I once read a really great fic that had all of the Guardians in a poly relationship together. The great and important thing was that it wasn't a relationship built on sex. It involved all different kinds of love and affection, and seeing that play out was completely wonderful. I know that's kind of a heavy thing to consider and that not everyone wants to try and sort out that much relationship dynamic. I am just as happy with Peter/Gamora and the antics and interactions of the group as a whole. They are the very definition of a found family, and I love seeing that built upon.

Big Bang Theory
Not gonna lie, this show totally lost me around the time Amy Farrah Fowler became a serious love interest for Sheldon instead of just a friend that agreed to help keep people off his back. Their relationship started in the best kind of way with her being a fantastic character who knew she didn't need a relationship to be fulfilled, and then went down a rabbit hole I'm really not okay with. In the early seasons, the most healthy and stable relationship in the whole thing is honestly Sheldon's relationship with Penny. The Sheldon we got in the pilot is not the caricature we ended up with, and I'm not okay with it. So, yeah. Sheldon/Penny. Love them. Prefer them. Fix it, please. LOL. My favorite Sheldon/Penny fic out there is The Paladin Protocol by SpaceAnJL if you need a little insight into the type of relationship dynamic I'm looking for (I'm also of the opinion that everyone needs to read that fic). Happy, fluffy, and snarky is the way to go. If you aren't here to write BBT fanfic for me, go read that fic anyway. It's fantastic.
