Snowflake Challenge Day 3

In your own space, put some favorite characters into an AU, fuse some favorite canons together, talk about your favorite AU/fusion tropes, or tell us why AU/fusions aren’t your cup of tea.

This question threw me for a loop as I tried to differentiate between fusions and crossovers. I don't know that I have a good working definition for each, but... crossovers were my jam at one point. I still love one that's really well done.

Generally speaking, I don't read a ton of straight up Alternate Universe fics. I don't go for the coffee-shop/college/cooking show thing that I see a lot of right now. I don't dislike them, but they don't usually grab my interest.

I *adore* a good "divergent universe" fic where Character A makes a different decision and this is what happens.

I don't read a ton of gender-swap. I will read slash, het, ace, etc. without even a pause and it doesn't pull me from the canon, so to speak. If I have a strong pairing bias, I may skip stories that pair one of those characters with someone else, but I don't think that's usually a problem.

All this said, I've written a ton of crossovers.

I'll link to some of them that are on AO3, but this isn't even close to my list or even my favorites.

Lessee:

Spy Smut - An Offer of Friendship - Burn Notice/James Bond. This was written for a porn battle and kicked off my interest in this particular pairing. I have a much longer story that I've not moved to AO3 yet, but will eventually!

This one is more a fusion, I think. Darwin Awards (The One In a Million Remix). I wrote this one recently and it's very much a "knock the rust off piece" for me, but it was fun! X-men: Alternate Universe Movies/Jurassic World Trilogy.

I'm kind of appalled that's all I have on AO3. I have a lot left to move, clearly.

I wrote a lot of Psych/X-men, too. I also have a Big Bang fic that was Supernatural/X-men Movieverse (loosely). And I wrote an X-men Noir AU that I really thought was on AO3 and isn't. So... I guess I'd better buckle up and get busy moving stuff over.

Came Across an Amusing Meme and Remembered That I Liked Them

Pick a fandom, character(s) and/or pairing, and an AU trope/cliché/type, and I will tell you the gist of the story I would write for you, if I wrote it.

I will probably never write the story, but I will do my best to write a back of a novel blurb for it! Hehe.

Snowflake Challenge Day 4

In your own space, make a list of things that you wish existed in fandom or elsewhere, and/or that you'd like someone to create or do for you.

I would like a long(ish) fic for Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends that takes us through Peter, Bobby and Angelica's lives from the point of going to college and finding each other, to being an established threesome. I would like any single piece of this to exist in short form, if the long fic is too big an ask.

I would like Bobby Drake fic that explores his motivations with sensitivity and depth, in any universe.

I would like a meaty adoption fic where Alberto Scorfano is taken in by Massimo Marcovaldo, who shows Alberto what a good father is like. I would like hijinks with Guilia and her new brother, too. I would also like to see how they deal with the prejudice against "sea monsters." (I have seen the short and I want a WHOLE LOT MORE.) (This is from Pixar's Luca.)

I would like to finish my two longer WIPs that are so close to being done.

I would also like to finish my Jonny Quest Small Fandom Bang fic and have anyone but me be interested. Heh. But, mostly I just want to finish it.

I'd like to move the rest of my fics to AO3.
