Fandom: Dear Femslash12 Author Letter

Dear Femslash12 Author,
First, I want to stress that I am excited to read whatever story you write. I love girl slash and women being awesome and these fandoms, and I can't wait to read your story.
In general, I really love stories about women being awesome. I also like werewolves, stories about families being loving and protective and a little snarly with each other because they trust each other to always be there, and smart flirtations. I like stories of all ratings, I'm a fan of consensual kink, and I love stories about oral sex and pegging and women who really love sex. I love poly stories, threesomes and foursomes and moresomes, as long as it is consensual and not cheating. I adore intricate plots and mysteries to solve and friends teaming up to save the world. I like straightforward prose, lyrical pieces, and experimental work. I love adoption stories when adoption is treated as something totally normal and not a BIG DRAMATIC SECRET to up the tension. I love siblings as friends and families who are super tight and friends as family and created families. I love the ocean, full moons, surfing, autumn, Halloween, horror movies, and long roadtrips.
I love motorcycles and mechanics and beaches and surfing and Hawaii and Washington state and woods and camping and full moons. My favorite time of year is October 1 through February 1 because it encompasses all sorts of things I love, from the month long festival that is Halloween movie marathons and Halloween episodes of tv shows to spending time with loved ones and openly talking about what makes us thankful at Thanksgiving (though Thanksgiving itself, highly problematic) to the December holidays with all their lights to birthdays to New Year's Eve. Good times, even though I hate winter and the cold and snow.
I love bisexual characters (particularly women) treated with respect, happy and healthy polyamory, characters of color treated with respect, people having adventures, and apocalypses.
I adore crossovers, the more twisty and complicated the better.
I dislike embarrassment/humiliation, rape, non-con, misogyny, racism, ableism, sizeism, character-bashing, and women feeling guilty about enjoying sex. I am particularly frustrated right now by depictions of mental illness and crazy = bad and dangerous. I dislike misogyny and Man Angst, especially White Man Angst.
As for my specific requests:
Marvel Avengers Movieverse: Darcy/Jane, Darcy/Sif, Darcy/Pepper, Darcy/Jane/Sif, Darcy/everyone, all the ladies/all the ladies
Avengers poly family is one of my favorite things right now, and Darcy's snark and good humor, Jane's science brain, Pepper's competence, and Sif's perserverence in the face of a society that doesn't view women as warriors make me so, so happy.
Disney: Nani/anyone
Nani Pelekai is amazing. Lilo & Stitch is my favorite Disney movie, and Nani my favorite character, as she struggles to take care of her sister and hold her family together and then, oh yeah, aliens.
Buffy: Veruca/Faith, Veruca/Nina, Veruca/Willow
Werewolf. Women who are werewolves are often presented as a sexual threat, and Veruca is no different. I love stories that take her and show us more.
Never Cry Werewolf: Loren/anyone
Never Cry Werewolf is the fandom I keep requesting because someday someone else will love it like I do and want to write it. Basically, a new neighbor moves in, deaths start in the neighborhood, and Loren proves what a badass she is by trying to save the world. I want to see more of her being awesome.
Ugly Betty: Betty/Amanda, Betty/Alexis
I haven't finished the last season of Ugly Betty, but am particularly fond of the time when Betty and Amanda lived together, and particularly right after Amanda got the second job and comes home to find Betty has cooked her dinner. Their dynamics, their friendship, the way Betty was both taking care of her and teaching her to take care of herself -- I love them and want to see more of them.
I also think there was quite a bit of potential to Betty and Alexis, though they didn't spend nearly enough time interacting. I would love to see more of them together, too.
Roswell: Maria/Isabel, Maria/Isabel/Liz
I only started watching Roswell a couple years ago, about a decade too late, but good grief, Roswell poly fandom was basically canon by the end. Maria and Isabel are my favorites, but I love all of them bunches and bunches. In all the fandoms, but in this one in particular, I would hate to see the guys bashed or written off, because they are so integral to this family that was created, alien and human, and I love it.
(I've just realized that a Lilo & Stitch/Roswell crossover could be amazing.)
Thank you, author, for writing me a story. You are awesome!
