First of all, thank you for offering to write for one of these fandoms! I am not really picky so if there is something you really want to write for these fandoms, please do!
Generally, I prefer femslash over everything, but I'm good with gen/slash/het if you'd rather take that route. Happy endings over sad ones. I am not very picky so if you already have an idea, feel free to run with it! I included some vague explanations and prompts below, just in case.
general likes.
• character study
• epistolary fic (emails, letters, twitter/instagram/social media, in-universe articles, etc.)
• mentor/protege relationships, coach/player relationships (not f/m though)
• any order of friends to enemies to strangers to lovers to rivals and back
• alternate universes
smut likes.
• character study via porn
• dirty talk, praise kink, begging
• sex toys, strap-ons, etc
• sex bets
DNWs: rape/non-con, A/B/O or omegaverse; scat; formal or lifestyle BDSM, poly relationships
Diving RPF (Maddison Keeney,Chen Yiwen, Chang Yani)
- K said it better than I ever could here but they were the story of the Olympics for me.
- I'd be into the story focusing on Yiwen/Yani or the three of them together. They were the medalists in the 3m springboard final and I think the dichotomy of being happy to win a medal vs. the disappointment of it not being gold while your literal girlfriend won is very interesting.
- Established relationship vs. getting together both work for me
Former Women's #1 Tennis RPF (Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova)
- I am a big believer that their rivalry (yes, I am aware of how one sided it was, results wise!) is way more complicated than it's given credit for.
- Serena singing this song at the ESPYs lives rent free in my head and I think it is sooo funny to imagine a Challengers version of them with Grigor Dimitrov as the third (he could never be Tashi, I know).
- I am very interested in the post-retirement lifestyle and how both of them are keeping it pretty separate from tennis, with a few random drop ins (compared to someone like Petkovic who is still deeply associated with it, or former players coaching). How did their relationship change after retiring? Do they really text each other?
- I'd also love to read about how their relationship evolved over their careers. The losses piling up, their narrative roles, how the on-court hatred translates to their relationship off-court, if they had one.
2024 Grand Slam Season (Tennis) RPF (Jessica Pegula, Taylor Fritz, Coco Gauff)
- American tennis is so funny to me because everyone is so dramatic about The State of It, but so clearly just want the men to catch up to the women (impossible!).
- The mirroring of Jess and Taylor is interesting to me, especially with the USO final losses. They're both pretty level-headed and open about their own careers, and definitely insane about tennis anyway. Gen or het would both work. I just like the slight unexpectedness of them getting along + the "you're the only one who understands me" part.
- Coco & Jess as doubles partners with jealousy and an age gap. Coco winning a slam and Jess getting so close. How close are they actually? Coco is definitely settled into her career enough (obviously, she won a slam) to really ~need a mentor, but the dynamic between them could be written so many ways that I think it could be fun.
Unstable TV (Anna Bennet, Ruby Rosario, Luna Castillo)
- I love this show so much but I have not finished season two.
- For the three of them, I like the idea of Luna finding out about Ruby/Anna and either feeling betrayed or way too interested.
- The tone of the show is so specific and kooky, feel free to lean into it or take it more ~seriously
- I love exes who get back together, so something where Anna/Ruby used to be together before Ruby was hired at Dragon would be fun.
Conversations With Friends (Frances Flynn, Bobbi Connolly, Melissa Baines)
- The main idea I had for this one was Frances/Bobbi/Melissa end up sleeping together and Frances mostly does it to get ~revenge on Nick but it ends up being Something. The similarities and differences between Frances and Melissa are interesting to me. Frances' endometriosis vs. Melissa not wanting kids. Frances wanting to be Bobbi's favourite and trying not to feel like she's competing with Melissa. Frances being surprised by how much she likes Melissa etc.
Private Rites by Julia Armfield (Jude, Isla, Irene, Agnes)
- Not going to lie, I did not really like this book as much as I liked "Our Wives Under the Sea".
- I'm still interested by the dynamics between the sisters and the people they're with.
- Is there anything after the ending? What was life like before?
