Christmas Wish List

Things I'd like: I'd love a gen piece focusing on John's relationship(s) and interaction(s) with Teyla, Ronon, Radek, or Lorne, or Lorne or Radek with Teyla or Ronon, or Rodney with Radek or Elizabeth. I especially like stories that highlight professional competence and hidden skills, and stories that force them to work outside of their usual skill-set, especially if it means that Ronon or John have to be diplomatic or scientific. Something with a bit of plot. I also enjoy stories that are more focused on character interaction in everyday life. Learning to work together early in their professional relationship, maybe, or discussing some past mission or problem, or dealing with a minor technical or personnel or cultural problem on Atlantis, or discussing other people. Or something else entirely. Whatever appeals to you.

On the slash/het side, I have a particular fondness for John/Cameron Mitchell (SG-1), but I like Ronon/Lorne, Ronon/Keller, and John/Teyla as well. I have a hankering for a story where one of the characters discusses their relationship with an outside party, either because they're seeking advice, or because their colleague/teammate found out about the relationship and now insists on talking about it with them. Alternately (or additionally), I'm always up for a good first time stories, and in the case of John/Cam, I enjoy watching one introduce the other to his family. I like having some idea of what the characters are thinking and feeling, not just what they're doing. In all cases, incidental secondary pairings are welcome, and since it's the holidays, a happy ending would be nice, though it isn't absolutely necessary.

Things I wouldn't like: Character bashing. Non-con/dub-con. Professional incompetence. The characters displaying uncharacteristic stupidity or the emotional maturity of 14-year-olds. Humiliation. Betrayal. Mpreg. A high degree of sappiness. Wraith pairings. McShep. (Strong Sheppard & McKay friendship is fine, but no sex, jealousy, or declarations of love.) I also prefer to avoid anything that leaves any of the main characters severely injured--physically, emotionally, or mentally. (Oddly enough, I don't mind them being dead nearly as much as I mind them being badly damaged.)

What I can do: Gen, slash, and het. Crossovers with Criminal Minds or Supernatural. Crossovers with season 9 or 10 SG-1. Preferred pairings include John with Cam, Teyla, Ronon, or Elizabeth or Lorne with Teyla or Ronon, but I'm willing to try my hand at other pairings that aren't listed below.

What I can't do: Non-con/dub-con (including AMTDI). Mpreg. Femslash. More-than-mild kink. Threesomes. OT4. Gender swaps. Severe whump. Wraith pairings. Stories that focus heavily on minor characters other than Lorne or Zelenka. Slash involving Carson. Slash involving Rodney (including McShep). Stories that require a detailed knowledge of seasons four and five.

Pinch hitter?: Unfortunately, I don’t think I'll have time.

It's a Wonderful Life...

Okay, sure, I'll play. Hit me, Santa!

Sounds like fun (though scary,eek, pressure!), and since I've not done an exchange before in this (for me newish) shiny fandom, I'm excited!

Things I Would Like: Sheppard/McKay slash. Sorry, but I'm a true OTPer, and while I can write and think about other things, I just--really want John/Rodney. :) I suppose my most favorite things are: 1) canon fic where there is believable light-to-medium angst, which is plot and/or character-driven, and then true love prevails and there's an at least partially happy ending; and 2) believable AUs where they meet and fall in love but perhaps have a bit of angst but then true love prevails. (Sense a pattern? *g*) By true love, I don't mean schmoop necessarily; there can definitely be a modicum of darkness, though I also love purely happy fic. By angst, I don't necessarily mean external stuff: relationship stuff is awesome.

I love fic with hot sex, so long as it fits the story and the characters, but certainly I also love fics without sex at all, so long as there's emotion there. I also like fics that explore mild kinks or sexuality, so long as the characters seem more or less like themselves and there's character development of some kind involved.

Things I'd like: Sheppard/Ronon, Sheppard/Mitchell, Sheppard/Lorne, Sheppard/McKay/Ronon, OT4, Sheppard/Ronon/Lorne, Sheppard/Lorne/Mitchell, Sheppard/Ronon/Mitchell, Sheppard/Ronon/Lorne/Mitchell (have I got all the permutations?). I like the guys in character and behaving like men, angst over humor, first time over established relationship (or at least being able to see why/how they got together if it's established), smut/NC-17, kink, BDSM, dub-con/enzyme!sex, AMTDI and the fallout, loyalty/sacrifice, warrior bonds, flyboys, power dynamics, banter. I like it when Sheppard gets into situations where he's pushed to his limits for his team/friends but their strong emotional bond sees them through.

Things I wouldn't like: Schmoop, humor, weepy men, violence/graphic injury, character bashing, kid-fic, gen.

What I can do: Sheppard with any combination of McKay, Ronon, Lorne or Mitchell. I'm not adverse to adding Teyla, Cadman, Elizabeth, Sam or Keller into a m/m/f or m/m/m/f situation. I tend to write NC-17 (often BDSM and kink) but I'm also cool with branching out.

What I can't do: Gen, violence, humor, schmoop, long plot. No Kavanagh, and I don't think I could do Radek justice.

Pinch hitter?: Depends on the prompt but feel free to ask.
