mkrobinsonDear Chocolatier:
Thank you so much for writing for me for this exchange. This is my second year doing this exchange, and I really enjoyed participating. I look forward to doing so again. I want to let you know that I have requested fan fiction and fan art for every requested fandom. My fandoms (with the exception of Riverdale, I suppose), often do not have much in the way of fan art, and I am always eager to encourage it.
My general Do Not Wants and Wants are as follows. If there is a specific fandom/pairing that has a DNW that only affects that particular request, I will note it in the fandom section.
I look for the following in my fanworks: covert and overt affection; causal touching; slice of life; curtain fic; alternative universes; first times; friends to lovers; kissing and other displays of affection; the sharing an [insert sleeping space here] trope; sexual tension; strong friendships; third person POV; x number of things plus one; what could have been; missing scenes; hurt/comfort; angst; coming to understandings; families of choice; rescuing; pregnancy/kid fic; musical numbers; genderswap; romance; gen; light comedy; porn with or without plot
I do not want the following in my fanworks: A/O/B; blood or explicitly described injury; watersports and scat; bloodplay; excessive non-canonical violence; animal abuse/injury/death.
Baby Sitters Club -- Ann M. Martin
[Charlotte Johanssen & Stacey McGill]: Pieces set either during canon or post canon are absolutely fine, however I do not want Charlotte and Stacey to be in a relationship with each other. I am aware that it is a popular pairing in a subset of canon but I am not part of that subset of canon, so thank you for respecting that.
Some prompt suggestions include: Charlotte visiting Stacey in NYC; hospitalizations; graduations (either girl's); overcoming adversity; keeping in touch while Stacey was living in NYC in canon; how the two stay connected as they both age/mature; outgrowing needing a babysitter; seeing each other after a period of time apart
[Claudia Kishi & Dawn Schafer]
Some prompt suggestions include: Claudia going to visit Dawn and her family out in California; baking/cooking together in an attempt to find common ground; Dawn and Claudia acknowledging Claudia's attempts to accommodate her and Stacey's eating habits; solving a mystery together
[Dee Pike/John Pike]
Some prompt suggestions include: How did John/Dee meet/start dating; the decisions they made when it came to growing their family; having (finally) empty nest syndrome; Sea City; making ends meet; expansions on canonical scenes
[Mallory Pike & Stacey McGill]
Some prompt suggestions include: finally turning thirteen; shopping trips; connecting on Mallory's returns home from boarding school; Stacey helping Mallory transition from boarding school to SHS; neighbors getting together; visits to NYC
[Mary Anne Spier & Dawn Schafer & Jeff Schafer]
Some prompt suggestions include: navigating mother/father's day with new siblings; how the relationship between the three changes with 2/3 of them living across the country; Dawn or Jeff or both move back to Stoneybrook, how does that affect the dynamic with Mary Anne; awkward get togethers prior to Richard and Sharon getting married where the threesome is left to their own devices while their Parents Are Dating
[Mary Anne Spier & Dawn Schafer & Jeff Schafer & Richard Spier & Sharon Spier]
Some prompt suggestions include: family vacations; the challenges of blending a family when half of the family lives across the country; post-canon family bonding; adjusting to life after the fire; Dawn and or Jeff or both move back to Stoneybrook and the family has to adjust to their presence.
[Mary Anne Spier/Charlie Thomas] Please have Mary Anne be of college age for this pairing and all others involving her and Charlie.

[Mary Anne Spier/Charlie Thomas & Patrick Thomas]
Some prompt suggestions include: Charlie and Mary Anne encounter Patrick out in the wild and are forced to interact with him; an event of some sorts lures Patrick back to Stoneybrook and Charlie is forced to interact with him and Mary Anne meets Patrick as his girlfriend; whatever you want that would allow this dynamic to occur.
[Mary Anne Spier/Charlie Thomas & Richard Spier]
Some prompt suggestions include: meeting the parents; Charlie going to Richard to ask for Mary Anne's hand in marriage; family get togethers; whatever you want to write for this dynamic
[Richard Spier/Sharon Spier]

Some prompt suggestions include: literally anything about the sibling dynamic between the two at any point.
California Diaries -- Ann M. Martin (this is the only fandom I will accept second person in if you prefer to write diary style)
[Dawn Schafer & Sunny Winslow]
Some prompts include: Dawn and Sunny rebuilding their friendship after the events of the series; living together; processing the death of Sunny's mother; glimpses into their friendship as children
[Dawn Schafer/Sunny Winslow]
Some prompts include: the prompts for Dawn Schafer & Sunny Winslow as stated above; coming out of the closet; soulmates au; tie dye; meeting the family as the significant other
[Dawn Schafer & Maggie Blume & Sunny Winslow & Jill Henderson AND Dawn Schafer & Maggie Blume & Sunny Winslow]
I just want anything featuring the changing group dynamics with these groupings.
[Maggie Blume & Zeke Blume]
A piece exploring their relationship either during/pre/post canon would be lovely.
[Carol Olson & Sunny Winslow]
These two have a pseudo mother-daughter relationship, how does that continue with the arrival of Gracie and with the death of Sunny's mother?
The Beatles -- Band
[John Lennon/Paul McCartney]
The challenges of hiding a relationship in 1950s/1960s/1970s Britain; John or Paul dealing with the very real presence of very real significant others; stolen moments perhaps on the vacations they took together or on their tours?; expansion on the meeting that the two of them had in NYC prior to John's death; want of a nail fic where John lives; aus where they are allowed to be happy together?
Friends -- TV Show
[Joey Tribbiani/Rachel Green]
I would love if their relationship had continued? I though Joey's crush on Rachel was so sweet and that they were so cute together and would love some canon divergent fic, either taking place during her pregnancy with Emma or having them have an actual relationship continue past when it had in show. Thank you!
Riverdale -- TV Show
(I understand that the timing of this challenge is concurrent to the currently airing third season, there is no need to worry about spoilers or include them if you don't want to, I am fine with anything. My only request is that the Farm and G&G not be the main focus of the piece of work, it is fine that they are included but I am not a fan of them taking center stage. With Riverdale AU's are always acceptable and in fact encouraged.)
[Alice Cooper & Betty Cooper]
I really like the relationship that Alice and Betty have had in the show in the past. I do not particularly agree with cult!Alice's decisions (I think she has lost all of her sense) but I did like how she rescued Betty from the SOQM. I wish that they could get their season 2 relationship back. I am fine with anything that you want to write for them.
[Alice Cooper & Betty Cooper & Polly Cooper]
There isn't a lot of fic that explores the dynamics between these three. I would be interested in reading a fic that explores that dynamic, preferably without the influence of the farm, but you are welcome to include the farm if you would like.
[Alice Cooper & Fred Andrews & Hermione Lodge & FP Jones]
These are the original core four and I think their friendship dynamic is interesting. I would like a writer to explore what might have happened had the incident with the Principal and the game not caused them to stop speaking to each other. I also think it would be interesting to explore the relationships they have with each other as adults -- they all went down different paths and I think there is a potential for the adults to have a friendship and storyline that of course the show doesn't see fit to explore.
[Alice Cooper & Jellybean Jones]
I really just want to see something with them interacting -- JB obviously has justified issues with her father and I wonder what it would be like to have her meet the woman who is both Jughead's girlfriend's mother, and the woman that her dad is in a sort of (though hidden) relationship with. Feel free to interpret this prompt however you want, there just isn't a lot written about them.
[Alice Cooper/FP Jones II]
FP and Alice are such complex, complicated, characters, I don't even know where to begin with them. I love their relationship so much and I am annoyed at the show for ruining their character development and continuously cutting their scenes. Maybe an AU where they kept Charles? I really just want them happy and I think that fic and art is a good place to do that. Soulmate AUs/Hidden relationship/fake dating/enemies to lovers/etc are all welcome here.
[Alice Cooper/FP Jones II & Betty Cooper/Jughead Jones]
Anything about both couples trying to navigate their mutual relationships.
[Alice Cooper/FP Jones II & Jellybean Jones]
I think it would be nice to have JB meet Alice when she and FP are in an established relationship. Anything goes for this prompt.
[Archie Andrews & Betty Cooper & Jughead Jones & Veronica Lodge]
I really just miss the core four being friends.
Archie Andrews/Betty Cooper (Riverdale 2017)
This is a pairing that really intrigues me. I look forward to what you could do with it.
Betty Cooper & Veronica Lodge (Riverdale 2017)
B and V being the besties we know they could be.
Betty Cooper/Jughead Jones (Riverdale 2017)
I love Bughead so much. Anything goes here.
Cheryl Blossom/Betty Cooper (Riverdale 2017)
This is a pairing that really intrigues me. I look forward to what you could do with it.
Cheryl Blossom/Toni Topaz (Riverdale 2017)
This is a pairing that really intrigues me. I look forward to what you could do with it.
Gladys Jones & Jellybean Jones (Riverdale 2017)
There really isn't a lot out there featuring Gladys and JB. I think it would be interesting to have a fic after Jughead and Archie leaves, because it's obvious JB didn't know he asked to come back when FP was in prison.
Joaquin DeSantos/Kevin Keller (Riverdale)
Something set at any point (AUs are love) where Joaquin and Kevin can be happy.
Josie McCoy & Sierra McCoy (Riverdale 2017)
These two are so strong willed, I think that a story where they really talk and delve into what we now know about Sierra's past would be really good.
Josie McCoy/Sweet Pea (Riverdale 2017)
Something about the summer fling?
Jughead Jones & Kevin Keller (Riverdale 2017)
Kevin's father is the Sheriff; Jughead's father is in charge of a gang: how on earth does their friendship work?
Jughead Jones/Toni Topaz (Riverdale 2017)
This is a pairing that really intrigues me. I look forward to what you could do with it.
Jughead Jones/Veronica Lodge (Riverdale 2017)
I think that Jeronica is a very interesting pairing. If you want to make this friendship and not romantic, that's fine with me. I think that a fic exploring their similarities would be very well received. Riverdale does not acknowledge the things that they have in common that often, which I think is a shame.
Thanks again for creating for me!
