Especially interested in: As you can see from my ao3, my interests are quite wide-ranging! Margo is the blorbo of my heart, but I am equally interested (truly) in most of the main cast characters from S1-3 and could be quite easily talked into writing about any of them.

Left to my own devices, I tend to gravitate toward canon-compliant (or probably more accurately canon-compatible) gap-filling, but I'm happy to do canon divergences or even full AUs, so long as I feel like I can do justice to the premise and make the story-world still feel fully lived-in.

Unwilling to address:
My only really hard no is writing sexual relationships between characters who are canonically in well-established non-romantic male-female friendships (eg. Wayne and Karen, Danielle and Ed.) Other than that, I bear no great love for Miles Dale, and would need a very good prompt to get me interested in S4-era Happy Valley more generally.

I should also probably list things I am not super good at:
1) kink (not opposed! at all! just not very creative when it comes to writing it)
2) straightforwardly happy endings. That's not exactly a strength of mine in general, and this canon is a good match for me: FAM is full of joy and optimism, but these things rarely come for free, and it is probably beyond my skill set to write a story that doesn't take account of that.

Other notes: I would love to work collaboratively on developing a prompt! We could begin with just a seed of an idea, or you could bring me something much more developed -- as long as you're comfortable with some back and forth as we work out a prompt, we'll be good!

Special interests: F/F ships, Unhappy endings, Ambiguous endings

Other notes: My next few months are bonkers, and I'm not going to be able to dig into this until April or maybe even May.

tiltedsyllogism Auction #2

Type of fanwork: Fan labor
Subtype(s): Betaing, Culture picking (Brit-picking, etc), Specialist expertise (about a profession, hobby, subculture, etc)
Fandom(s): For All Mankind
Highest rating: E
Length/scope: Depends how much the bidder contributes.. 5k for $10, 10k for $20, and so on upward
Minimum Bid: $10

Fan labor details: Yankpicking for non-Americans, Russia-picking, some limited assistance with Russian language

Relevant background/experience: I've lived in the US all my life other than a 4-month stint in Moscow.

Other notes about labor offered: I am offering Yankpicking for any non-Americans in FAM fandom. If you’re looking for someone who can help you purge your dialogue of non-American speech patterns, figure out what cartoons Kelly Baldwin would have watched, or just make sure you’re spelling Johnson Space Center correctly, I’m your gal.

also, plot twist: I can also furnish some limited expertise in Russia! I was a Russian minor in college (many… many… years ago) and though my knowledge of the language is quite rusty, I can dredge some up to help you for bits and pieces of dialogue. More relevant is that I lived in Moscow for several months in 1999, and I got to know the city pretty well. Although the political landscape in Russia in the FAM timeline obviously was/is different than our own, the arc of the FAMverse’s Glasnost means that my memories of and experiences in Moscow could be a pretty great resource for any Moscow-based story you want to tell that’s set between S3 and S4.

(also offering bog-standard beta reading, which can be bundled in with either or both of the above)

Especially interested in:

Unwilling to address: If your story is about how character X is an irredeemable piece of garbage, I'm going to have a hard time helping you make it into the story you want. (If, however, you've written such a character and would like help in figuring out how to make them more textured, I am happy to help!)

I'd appreciate some advance warning about anything really disturbing or upsetting in your story, but I don't think there's anything I absolutely will not tackle.

Other notes: My next few months are bonkers, and I'm not going to have the bandwidth to work with you on this until April or maybe even May.
