Dear Purimgifts Author/Artist:

Thank you for the effort you will be putting into this exchange! I have only done this exchange once before, but the unique format is exciting to me and I'm really interested to see what you choose to do. I'll include some general notes about likes/dislikes and then some fandom specific notes and preferences. Of course, view these as guidelines and not requirements - do what you're passionate about doing! I'd be happy with fic about any eligible character in my selected fandoms and the specific notes are totally flexible.

Likes: domesticity / slice of life, missing scenes, character study, action / adventure, traveling / vacations, hurt / comfort, partnership, constructive confrontation, realistic use of social media where appropriate / epistolary fiction, canon typical violence

Dislikes: character bashing towards anybody, graphic depictions of rape / rape as plot device, gore, breathplay, bloodplay, nihilism, hopeless endings (but sad is okay)

Fandom-specific stuff



Avatar: The Last Airbender

As of the time of writing this, I have not seen Legend of Korra and am still finishing TLA. I will at least have finished TLA by the time of posting, and I don't mind minor spoilers beyond that for LOK or the comics but major details might be avoided. I trust your discretion!

I am new to this fandom and I love it! I would love anything about Katara - perhaps in a political context/capacity, something about her friendship with anyone but maybe especially Toph, her relationship with her brother, something with a pairing listed below, or something involving her interacting with Azula. A fic about Azula would also be wonderful - I'm interested in what her perspective on her childhood was like and what it is like inside her head since so many people characterize her as crazy but she is so astute in many ways and also lived in an environment where cruelty and violence were virtues, anything about her relationship with Ty Lee and Mai, her perspective on her relationship with anyone in her family (her mother, Zuko, etc), or something that could tie into my thought about something political or general with Katara (I think the contrast is interesting). Ty Lee interests me because it's difficult for me to tell at the point where I am if she really wants to be in the situation she's in even though she seems to also be willing - someone pointed out to me that even though she fights for Azula with an apparent loyalty, she doesn't really fight in a way that truly injures anyone - I'm also interested in her highly feminine presentation of herself, her passion for performance in the circus, or even her childhood with Azula and Mai.

Pairings I like: Katara/Aang, Katara/Aang/Zuko, Katara/Zuko*, Azula/Ty Lee(/Mai)**, Sokka/Suki

* I would rather not have love triangle fic about them, but I'm happy with polyamory or contextually canon divergent Katara/Zuko on its own.

** Any combination of these three, actually, if you prefer just Ty Lee/Mai go right ahead!

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV)

I am completely up to date with watching AOS. However, I'm pretty iffy about a lot of the developments that have happened in S2. I am good with fic that focuses on either season, but if you're of a mind to write S2 fixfic of some description then I am definitely down for that. I would love fic about any woman in the show! Skye is wonderful, and I really do like the fact that they kind of took her the route of making her go from fangirl to actual potential superhero despite my reservations of about S2 - I am really interested in anything about her life, a slice of everyday experience in S1 or pre-canon, something about her dealing with any feelings she may have about her mother / some kind of transcendent experience that lets her know her mother, bonding with May, or any kind of shippy fic with a pairing. For Jemma, I would love to see perhaps her life immediately following S1 or maybe a day in her life prior to her cover being endangered in S2, something about her relationship with combat or violence, something from her time at the Academy, or gen or shippy fic with a pairing. For May, I'd really like to know about her youth if you've got anything you'd like to say about her pre-Cavalry life or even the experience that gave her that nickname, her youth as a SHIELD agent, or something bonding with the younger girls - I don't have a pairing for her in mind but if you've got one, go for it. If you want to do fic about Bobbi, that's great - I'm familiar with the Fraction run of Hawkeye so even if it wasn't shippy maybe something to do with her dealing with Clint Barton whom she knows could be fun or just an adventure when she's undercover or hanging out with the other girls - I don't actually dislike Hunter/Bobbi exactly, but I'm just not particularly interested in a fic that's just about that ship.

Pairings: Skye/Simmons, Fitz/Simmons, Skye/Mike Peterson, Skye/Antoine Triplett, Skye/Ward*

* I view this as a dangerous and unhealthy thing but if you want to write it complexly, I think it's interesting and sometimes cathartic to read about so if that's what you're feeling go head!

Mean Girls (2004)

I've never once read a Mean Girls fic, but I've been mulling over lately the idea that one could be interesting. I thought that especially since we're informed that Gretchen is Jewish that it might be a nice thing to request for this exchange. If you would like to write it, I'd be really interested to read something about Gretchen and her Judaism. I'm just sort of interested in the daily lives of the characters during their senior year and that summer between. Particularly, I think Gretchen and Karen seemed close but their social lives may have taken a significantly divergent turn? I'd be good with friendship or romance fic between them. I'd also be interested in Regina character study, particularly post-canon. Anything about Cady or Janis would be good, too. It's just a hugely nostalgic film that means a lot to me. Are they doing things with regard to college? Or if you'd like to do pre-canon fic for any of the girls other than Cady (whose backstory we know a bit more) that would be really cool.

Pairings: Gretchen/Karen, Regina/Gretchen (?)

Young Justice

Young Justice is one of my favorite animated series ever. I really love the group/team dynamic between these teenagers who are tasted with basically being an elite black-ops force so young. I am fascinated by how wildly reckless that seems. There are lots of girls and I'd be happy to receive fic about any of them. I somewhat prefer Season 1 or stuff from the gap in terms of what I think about, but post-canon (especially fix-it/things getting better) fic would be really great, too, as would any old slice of life from any point in time. Artemis's pre-canon youth concerns and worries me, but I'd love to see something about the things that shaped her into who she was at the beginning and how she survived. I'd love to know more about Zatanna and/or Rocket and their adventures with the Team. I also like interesting perspectives on the nature humanity, so maybe M'gann (being a Martian) has one of those? Canon divergent AUs, people switching sides for real (for a time or maybe more seriously?), or stuff drawing from other DC media if you want would all be things I'd be game for.

Pairings: Artemis/Dick/Wally, Artemis/Dick, Artemis/Wally, Artemis/Zatanna, Zatanna/Raquel, Zatanna/Dick
