AU exchange - dear content creator [in progress]

Dear AU Exchange writer,

I'm tielan and thank you so much for writing for me!

I love AUs of all types and kinds, both the 'different ending' and the 'fusion' type of AU, and I love seeing them applied to my favourite characters to create new and different stories.

If I have forgotten/missed the AU that we matched on, I absolutely still want it, and apologise for not including it in the notes below.

things I like
Fusion AUs (characters from one canon written in another canon as though they've always been there)

Women at the centre of the story and female friendships and dynamics. Women who have agency and determination and make their own decisions (and the men who respect those decisions).

In most fandoms, one thing that I really enjoy is the mingling of professional and personal: a lot of these fandoms have people who work together, but they don't exactly compartmentalise and go home to their own family at the end of the day. Their work relationships are also the big personal relationships in their lives.

I've put a list of pairings I enjoy next to the fandoms. If you want to include any of them, that would be mighty fine! If you don't, then just friendships and interaction is great.

A note about soulmates/soulmarks AUs: I'm okay with the soulmates thing not being sexual, just people who are matched - kind of like the 'found family' trope, only with capital-D Destiny. I also like when the soulmates trope is inverted or subverted - where the sexual pairing isn't the soulmates one: the idea that love is not destiny.

do not wants:
- rape/non-con
- character deaths
- PWP (I don't mind a scene of smut in a longer story, but I don't want the entire story to be about sex)
- cheating partners
- pairings I haven't requested
- humiliation as humour

( the usual suspects )

Finally, these are all just ideas that I'm putting out there for you to be inspired by. If they don't speak to you, that's okay - just write what we matched on.

Thank you again!

Utterly zonked RN.

Have an abcess infection, as informed by doc, it will probably go away.

I've lost my iron tablets. Again. I manage one sheet of the things and then I lose the box. EVERY TIME. WTF, universe? Do you not want me to have energy?

Missed the intoabar due date. That's okay, I have some ideas, I just need to fill them out and shape them up.

Got my everywoman assignment, doable and

Signed up for auexchange. All the usual fandoms, characters, and requests. I hope someone asks for something I can write, and that whoever lands with me can write what I'd like. That's always the roulette, isn't it?

I have superlatively bad luck in my favourite characters, where either nobody's interested in them or nobody's productive about them or nobody wants to write about them (all assurances to the contrary) and this includes the people producing, writing, and running the shows themselves. *sigh*

Anyway, I'm sure all the people who've ever mocked or disdained my choices are laughing after the latest disappointment. That's the kind of people I imagine they are.

No, I don't want to talk about it.

Also in this vein: the apostle Judas in The Chosen? Is a sweetheart. *sigh* At least I know this one is coming and that they're dedicated to showing him as a whole person, not just The Betrayer. It's still gonna hurt, though.

Work is kinda bleh right now. I've been so very grateful for these three-day-weeks. It's going to be hard to go back to the five days a week. But on the upside, it looks like the new PM is going to be implementing super-short-and-sweet meetings, not the "half an hour a day painstaking update on what's going on in everyone's workspace". We might get back to six-minutes, does-anyone-have-anything-to-raise?, no?, righto-carry-on kind of meetings we used to have. This is a good thing.

Went to hockey training last night, practised a lot of the kind of thing that I should end up doing in a game.
