AUEX Letter

I know I'm going to love it!

My general preferences are here.

Blanket DNW are graphic/extreme violence, sexual violence, cruelty to animals/children, death of nominated characters.

 

 

To keep this letter from being five miles long, I like to talk about the generic AUs upfront.  Anything in this section is applicable to all fandoms unless stated otherwise.

 

ALL: Boarding School AU – This one is all about the hijinks.  Hidden passages, silly pranks and plots, girls vs. boys.  I’ve been reading some of the 1910s-1930s series juvenile fiction lately, and the whole sense of really identifying with the school resonates.  (Grace Harlowe is the latest, for the curious.)

 

ALL: Canon Divergence AU – I am all about the paths not taken and what-ifs.

 

ALL: Character Journeys To The Underworld to Rescue Their Dead Friend – I’d prefer friend on this, but love the idea of fighting everything for a person you love.

 

All: Clue Fusion – Exactkly what it sounds like.  Whether it involves characters from Clue or just mirrors the setup is up to you.

 

ALL: Dimension hopping to find a timeline that isn't doomed – I love how they refuse to give up, even as the timelines don’t get better.

 

ALL: Dimension travel to a significantly diverged timeline – Similar to the Canon Divergence AU, only in this one people can go back along the path untraveled back to “current” reality.

 

ALL: Dimension travel to mirror universe – Again, I like the idea that they can get a glimpse of the mirror universe without getting trapped in it.

 

All: Figure skating AU – Here for the playful and the fun.  I’ve enjoyed Yuri on Ice and had the early to mid 1990s fascination with figure skating.

 

ALL: Ice Age Never Ended – I like the idea of sticking the canon in an ice-age landscape (yes complete with megafauna).

 

All: Most Dangerous Game AU – Humans are the most dangerous game, and this prey fights back.

 

All: Regency House Party AU – This hits my people gathered together and Regency enjoyment nicely.  Feel free to throw in some suitors, matchmaking mamas, meddlers and lush description.

 

ALL: Snowed in at a Haunted Hotel – Group of people trapped together, isolated from the outside by the elements (and maybe One of Them is a Killer), having to deal with each other AND there’s a ghost.  I love the snowed in, but feel free to have the ghost/haunting not be real (a la Scooby Doo).

 

ALL: Trapped on an island – Group of people tapped/stranded together, against the elements, danger in the midst?  My jam.  Conflict over how to handle things?  Go.  One of Them is a Killer.  Go.  Reveal a plot?  Go.

 

All: Trojan War AU – I was torn between this and Greek Mythology – I am not opposed to having the gods make appearances, but I prefer the human characters.  Hector, Andromache, Odysseus, Penelope, Clytemnestra, Cassandra are some of my faves.  If you put in an Agamemnon analogue, make sure you punish him.

 

ALL: Duck Tales (2017 reboot) fusion – This is my new fandom hole and I’m tempted to see how people would combine it with other fandoms.  Feel free to leave non-DT characters as they are or make them ducks/birds as appropriate.

 

All: Hunger Games AU – Really interested in the Games/tribute aspect of this.

 

ALL: Dinosaurs & Tropical-Type Climate & Flora Survived to Canon – Looking for a lost-world island type thing here (which, of course, canon villains will use in their plots).  Including a pterodactyl is a MUST (and either character is picked up in its claws or rides it)!

 

All: Earth invaded by aliens – Invaded is the key word here, not interested in the aliens WINNING but I am totally here for opposing sides having to work together.  And if you want to invoke the whole “fauna makes Earth a death world” and have the animals play a part, I am down.

 

ALL: Heroes & Villains on the Same Side – I like a good story where they have to work together.

 

All: Jonny Quest fusion – Including Quest and crew and the gadgets could be a lot of fun.

 

ALL: One Character Writes Tell-All Novel – Spill the tea and make it HOT.

 

Crossover: Villain from one fandom is causing trouble in another fandom – I’m good with this being either a case where the villains cooperate OR the villain in the destination fandom is just as annoyed, leading to Heroes & Villains working together.

 

ALL: Reality TV Show AU – Prefer cooking shows for this (i.e. Hell’s Kitchen esque)

 

All: Thin Man AU (snarky married sleuths) – Doesn’t have to be the same time period (although I am down for that as well) but preserve the Nick and Nora dynamic between the characters.

 

All: Miss Marple involved – Whether the mystery take them to St. Mary Mead or meet her whilst traveling, don’t overlook the old lady and her knitting. 

 

All: Murder on the Orient Express fusion – Include Poirot if you like, or go for more of the setup.

 

ALL: True crime podcast AU – Pretty much what it sounds like.

 

All: Arcane Society AU – I loved these books – the powers, the mystery, the romance.

 

 

( It's still pretty long... )
