Dear hapless victim... err... wonderful person who is writing a story for me.
Apologies for not having this ready with sign-ups. RL is extracting minor revenges on me.
So. My fandoms of choice, the likes, the dis... well, I'm sure you know the spiel. So:
In general, I prefer gen, mostly because it doesn't mess with OT-Whatevers of choice. If you can't write that, canon relationships preferred, plot and/or emotion preferred over porn. I've got a higher tolerance for (realistic) harsh language than PWP.
Warehouse 13
I came late to this fandom, but fell hard. This is everything I adore in a show: quirky, fun, and with no intent of taking itself seriously. I love all the main characters: Pete, Claudia, Myka, Artie, and Steve. Leena, too, with her calm to oppose the others' madness.
I'd love to see something gen and off-speed -- maybe how they'd handle a day with nothing going weird? Throw in whoever else you'd like: HG, the townsfolk of Univille. Or maybe something in the 'normal weird' category, where it's out of the ordinary but nothing impossible.
Not a huge fan of the Regents (save one past example) hence why I maxed out on character choices rather than just an 'anybody'.
Flashpoint
Again, love it and pretty much everybody. If you poke around, you'll see Spike and Greg are my favourites, with Sam really growing on me. You could say this is the opposite of Warehouse 13 with it's tone: all real and realistic. I love how the show plays with emotional tones, and reminds you that what you think is going on in someone's head isn't necessarily what really is. Poor. Communication. Kills. For these guys more than most. Again, anybody you actually want to write is fine -- they all have their depths and facets to explore.
Nero Wolfe
To quote Leverage show-runner John Rogers1 (in this post) "[Nero Wolfe] is my detective, the one who knocked me on my ass at age 12." (He picked Ellery Queen, but the effect is the same). Less Wolfe, the Sherlockian equivalent, but Archie who is no damned Watson. From the snark ("They must have flown. Formerly a figure of speech, now listed under common carriers."), to his admission that he's not the best but is damn close to it, he wasn't the type to stand in wonder of his boss' accomplishments. Wolfe himself was kind of an early feminist -- it wasn't women he couldn't stand, it was women who acted the way society expected, i.e. helpless and dependent on a man.
Archie and Wolfe are no-brainers, but I'd adore something from the detective Archie acknowledges as his superior -- Saul Panzer. Or maybe Inspector Cramer, a decent cop more bound by the rules than the private dicks who seem intent on making his life difficult.
I'm pretty much caught up on everything, so no worries about spoilers.
Eagerly awaiting,
Me.
1 Actually, there is kind of a connection here. Hutton's dead-on take of Archie led to my curiosity over Leverage, which just sadly isn't Yuletide-able.
