KnitChick's Crafty Ramblings

Dear writer or artist,

Hi there! Forgive me if this letter seems awkward, this is my first time participating in one of these. :) I look forward to whatever you create for me. There's nothing I love more than fic or art that's created for me, no matter what it is. So thank you in advance!!

(will be editing this post later with prompt suggestions...it's late and my brain is not coming up with any at the moment)


General likes/dislikes:

-I'm asexual so sex really doesn't interest me. Honestly, as soon as characters start making out I'm pretty tuned out. But I do like stuff like cuddling or fluffy sweet relationships, if that makes sense. :)

-I love AUs and what if scenarios. I'm also big on unusual crossovers, I love seeing characters from different fandoms interact. (my NaNoWriMo novel one year was basically how many fandoms can I shove in the TARDIS at once)

-I love my hometown and go nuts over fics/art set in Chicago. :D



Kamen Rider W

-Currently my top favorite fandom. I do ship Philip & Shotaro, but as partners and very close friends. As soon as a fic has them actually making out, I'm done. But doing sweet stuff for each other, cuddling, going out on a "date", that's all good.
-I totally ship Ryuu and Akiko and I love that it's now canon that they're married with a daughter. Especially love that Ryuu is totally wrapped right around his little girl's finger. Again, I'm not at all interested in sex, but I do ship them and I love their goofy way of showing their love in the show (particularly the fact that Ryuu never calls her Akiko, just "Chief", that's too adorable IMO).
-I don't really ship Philip and Wakana, cuz well they're siblings, but I do like their relationship in the latter part of the show when Wakana starts accessing the Library. It's an interesting dynamic.
-They're not on the tag list but I adore Shotaro's little circle of "informants" - Santa-chan, Watcherman, Queen & Elizabeth, Jinno & Makura. Feel free to toss them in!


Prompt ideas:

-Philip researching Halloween

-Halloween Dopant?

-Story based on the following text message convo (from a random Facebook page), could be either Philip or Shotaro as the drinker (though my friends and I think it's more likely Shotaro)



Doctor Who (both classic and new)

-Fourth Doctor is my favorite! I love teaming him up with anyone, really. Companions from other eras (I'm fond of teaming him with my all-time favorite Companion, Jamie MacCrimmon), or even characters from other fandoms.
-Seven and Ace are another favorite pairing. Their dynamic is just so fun! "Ace, give me some of that Nitro-9 you're not carrying" :)
-My favorite new series Doctor is Capaldi. I like him with Clara, but I'd also love to see him with other companions.
-Favorite new series companions are Donna, Madame Vastra & Jenny, and Amy & Rory.
-I like Captain Jack in Doctor Who but I'm kinda turned off on Torchwood. Long story, just...no Torchwood please.


Prompt ideas:

-The Doctor taking a companion or companions to the "first" Halloween (could be first Halloween in the modern commercial sense or early Samhein.


Highlander: the Series

-Methos. Methos. Methos. I just love reading about the world's oldest man. Especially if he's snarky and annoying the crap out of Duncan.


Prompt ideas

-Methos getting dragged into a costumes-required party at Joe's bar.

-Methos has to deal with some modern-day wanna-be "Horsemen"


Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger

-I love snarky Marvelous. (especially in Zyuohger! OMG he was so snarky and cute!)
-The best part of Gokaiger was that they're space pirates and clueless about Earth. Them exploring Earth stuff is so much fun!


Prompt ideas

-Gokaigers getting introduced to Halloween


Kamen Rider Ghost

-I don't really have any ships in the show, I just love Takeru and how he's always trying to help others.
-Onari and Akari are the best comedy duo and they crack me up with their unintentional humour.


Prompt ideas

-Takeru sneaking into a Halloween party as an invisible ghost.


Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger

-Again, no ships. I love the friendship among the whole team.
-One of my favorite episodes so far was when Sela and Leo had to fight. I loved how she was mad at Leo for holding back because she's a girl. That toughness is one of the best things about Sela.
-I adored the crossover with Gokaiger for the 1999th & 2000th episodes. The Gokaigers and Zyuohgers working together was the best!


Prompt ideas

-Zyuohgers going trick or treating with Uncle Mario, in their Zyuman forms.


I guess that's it! Feel free to post comments with questions...I think I set it so anonymous comments are allowed

Yes, it's finally live! There is some spectacular artwork, and very interesting stories there.

I have a story there, "Kiss Her Goodbye" -- it's in my Torchwood AU and there's three really amazing pieces of art for it. I have to go hug my artists, I am in total SQUEEEEEEEE mode and probably scaring the living daylights out the Starbucks baristas.

My friend Carole (huskyfriends) also has a story there, hers is called "Children of Time", and it's really awesome. I've gotten to read it from first draft til final and it still doesn't get boring. See if you can tell who the kids are based on ;) It's a bit long (over 80K) but SO SO worth the read!!!

There's a BUNCH of great stories!!! I really cannot wait to sit down and read these...I wonder if I can count them for summer reading? Some of them are as long as real books. ;) I know a few people on my flist and authors that I enjoy are in there. I saw erin_giles has a story in there, Damsels in Distress" that I really cannot wait to read :D

Please check out the great stories and artwork there and please let me know what you think!!!!!!!!

I now return you to your regularly scheduled flist....as I go off to squee and scream and dance. :D

Just thought I'd put it out there, who would be interested in reading my TARDIS Big Bang novels as I work on them and offer up suggestions and cheerleading? :) I'm going to create a filter just for those who want to see the work in progress, I really want these to be GOOD and I could really use feedback on how they're coming along.

Also...I have my phone again! *SQUEE* I got to school yesterday, was engrossed in reading about cataloging (srsly, I was so focused that all of a sudden I look up and it's snowing like mad and I'm like "when did that start?") and my dad comes up to me, hands me the new phone. They didn't bother to even look at my fail SD card but that Sprint store is EPIC fail so I'll be looking for a different Sprint to take that too. But at least the camera seems to function, I put my ringers back on but my wallies didn't want to behave. So I stayed up late making all new wallies. About 90% Jack, Ianto, or Janto. What a surprise ;) I also started making some new ringers, Carole's ringer is now a snippet of the best section of "Owen Fights Death" and my friend John now has part of "UNIT Rocks" from the new S4 Doctor Who soundtrack. And I totally am going to make a ringtone out of "Hanging on the Tablaphone" too, because that track rocks out loud!!!!! (that's the really cool music playing while they're trying to reach the Doctor in "Stolen Earth")

So, I've got about half an hour til class, I'm gonna move into the classroom and continue working on my fanfic. Shout out here if you're interested in reading the two TARDIS Big Bang novels as I write them!! One is my AU Torchwood's version of the events of Cyberwoman; the other is also in my AU but it's a mix of "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", "Utopia", "Sound of Drums", "Last of the Time Lords" with a little borrowed from Torchwood Series 3. Yes, quite the mix :D

Okay! I decided I wanted to try this whole podfic thing, I love reading aloud, but I really don't have many good fics yet that I would want to podfic. So instead, I asked the wonderful faithharkness if I could podfic one of my favourite stories of hers. And here is the result!!
