A Note on My Threshold for Violence

I don’t have one. Go as far as you want to. The only thing that might be a little hard for me to read is medical themed gore, but I will not dnw it because I am willing to deal with it if that’s where you want to go with your story. If you don’t want to write a story involving violence that’s also cool.

Watersports/scat

Without further ado here are my prompts!

Castle Rock

EDIT 10/21/18: For Castle Rock you do not have to include every requested character. I would be happy with you just picking one if that’s what you want to do. I realized now I didn’t previously specify that so I’m fixing it here.

The Kid | Shawshank Prisoner- Do you believe he was telling the truth about his backstory? If not what do you think the truth really is? In the first episode someone said something along the lines of, “If he wasn’t a psychopath when he went in then he sure is now.” Do you think that is an accurate assessment? To what degree do you think he can control the bad things that happen around him? I’d be interested to know more on his thoughts and feelings about Alan Pangborn, Ruth Deaver, Warden Dale Lacy, or Henry Deaver.

Henry Deaver- I am very interested in his time in the basement. What was that like from his perspective? I would also be interested in something about his imprisonment of The Kid post canon. Also tell me some more about his relationship with his son.

Ruth Deaver- How did she react to the news of Matthew keeping a boy in his basement in the alternate universe we saw in episode 9? Was she told at all? Also I would like to see some more of the dynamic between her and her son (doesn’t matter which one). What were her interactions with Molly, the girl who killed her husband, like as Molly grew up? Her relationship with time could be something to explore. Plus making her happy would make me happy.

Matthew Deaver- I just want you to go full creepy with him. Embrace the unsettling and frightening aspects of his character. Either universe would work for this.

I would be okay with any ship you wanna go with. Go wild it’s your story. If you don’t wanna have any ships at all I’m also down.

One Of Us Is Lying

Nominated Characters- Simon Kelleher, Jake Riordan, Janae Vargas

What a tangled web these three weaved. I would be very interested in fic set during the time when the plan was being put together. I want all the weird resentments and feelings and a lot of general fuckedupedness. I wanna know how Janae dealt with this whole thing considering it ended with Simon’s death. I want more on Jake’s control issues. What was Jake’s reaction to finding out Cooper’s secret? What did Jake think of Janae? We didn’t get much time with Simon and I’d like to see more of what he was like as a living person. Could you expand on his hatred for those he would implicate in his death?

I would be into any combination of the nominated characters as a ship including as an ot3. I would also be into Simon/Cooper or Jake/Cooper. If you wanna make this gen I would also be cool with that.

Oh Hello

Nominated Characters- George St. Geegland, Gil Faizon

Fandom Specific DNW Exception: Drugs

Also you can reference the canonical raccoon sex but please do not actually depict it.

I ship these two, but if you don’t I would be happy with gen.

More parodies of theater conventions would be wonderful, but considering the switch of mediums parodies of literary conventions would be just as great if not better.
“So I guess if you look at it from a certain perspective, we’re gay and I’m abusive.” - George in the skit where they go to the hospital. It’s such a great sum up of their relationship that I had to include it here.
One of the things I really love about these characters is their colorful pasts. There’s so many little one off lines about their past I’d love to see any one of them expanded upon like George helping fake the moon landing, them going to drag shows in the 80s, Gil blowing it with the mole people so they couldn’t live in a subway tunnel, George being declared too violent for Vietnam, them stealing Anne Hathaway’s diary, and so on.
I also love the whole love/roommates at first sight thing this canon has going on. It’s great.
What are their interactions with Ravi like off of the stage?
Anything more about the CBS job. It’s such a great source of conflict or dramatic irony.
I love their power dynamic. George feels so superior to Gil and must control him as much as possible. George must like Gil because he keeps him around but he also clearly holds some deeply negative views considering some of the stuff he says (“You’re God’s born loser.” anyone?). Any further exploration of this power dynamic would be much appreciated.
I love the way New York was approached and the way this show parodied how other things approach New York.
We know they have kids, George has at least a daughter and “several adult children” are mentioned. I assume their relationships with their children aren’t great to put it mildly, but I would be interested in seeing that.
I would be interested in fic about any of their past shows from Waiting for Godot Hello to You Know What to Bi Bi Curious to one you made up.
George is a serial killer that kills his wives. I would love fic that deals with that. What were his wives like? Were his wives his only victims?

Dramaworld

Nominated Characters- Claire Duncan, Seth Ko

I ship these two so most of these prompts will be shippy. If you wanna write gen feel free to ignore the shippy prompts.

AU in which Seth wanted the attention of the audience rather than the leading lady, audience being Claire.
What if something happened between them during the time in which everyone thought they were siblings? Outsider POV could work particularly well with this one.
All of the creepy manipulation where Claire just thinks Seth is a really nice guy please.
Also Claire feeling betrayed by Seth not being as he seemed.
Dub-con or non-con would be great and I very much encourage it.
Any cliched trope that would show up for a heroine/villain pairing in a K-Drama is a given.
AU in which Seth came to the real world, where everyone is an extra, instead of Claire coming to Dramaworld.
AU where the show Dramaworld was on when Claire got sucked in was a different genre like a period piece or noir or sci-fi.
A role reversal au could be interesting.

Tragedy Girls

Nominated Characters- Sadie Cunningham, McKayla Hooper

Fandom specific DNW: a Freudian excuse

Alright so most of my prompts are essentially copy pasted from my Femslash Exchange letter because I do ship these two like burning. If you don’t ship it, that’s okay. I would also be happy with receiving gen. Either way Sadie and McKayla have a very tight bond.

But here are the prompts:

A continuation of their reign of terror whether it be the murders they committed pre canon or how college goes post canon.
They are both shown to have loving families and I would love some elaboration on that.
Creepy/weird and slightly inappropriate roleplay. Like maybe murderer and victim or two murderers but different from reality somehow (if you have any ideas about what that could be other than that go for it, I’d be happy to see it).-Blood, sadism, and bears! Oh my! Okay the bears aren’t really a part of the prompt (although teddy bears are cute and I love them very much), but their love of violence definitely is. If you can incorporate that I’ll love you forever.
Power dynamics. Like maaaaaan, this ship was practically built for power dynamic stuff. Sadie definitely has the control. Hands down, she’s the dominant one, but McKayla is arguably the more dangerous one. It could be fun to play with.
Them taunting a victim could be a lot of fun. I would personally prefer this victim to be a girl.
The juxtaposition between girly things and murder things was one of things that really cemented this movie in my heart and it would be cool to include that here.

‘Salem’s Lot

Nominated Characters- Ben Mears, Mark Petrie

While these prompts are written with the book in mind, I have seen the 1979 movie adaptation and am quite fond of it. If you would rather write fic for the movieverse I’d have no problem with that.

Also I totally ship Ben and Mark, but if you don’t feel free to completely ignore the shippy prompts. I would be just as happy to receive gen.

Alright now that I got those two things out of the way here are the prompts.

Tell me about their time on the road going from place to place. Stories about drifters/people on the run are one of my favorite things.
Is Ben ever recognized as an author on their travels? If so what happens? Do these people see Mark as well and if so what do they think is going on?
Let’s dwell in Mark’s trauma for a bit. He’s so young and he’s seen so much. How do the events of the novel affect him as he goes forward?
Do they come across more vampires after ‘Salem’s Lot has been destroyed? Are they essentially vampire hunters now or are things more peaceful?
What was their first time like? Who initiated it? Who initiated their relationship to go in that direction in the first place? Was it even properly, intentionally started by either of them or did it just sorta happen and by the time they realized it they couldn’t turn back?
I wouldn’t mind a sex scene in the car.
Sweet and romantic “you mean everything to me and I love you so much more than you could ever understand” sex that is still sordid like sex with a minor in a sketchy motel would be.
Considering how Ben’s romantic relationships that we know of both went how does it feel for him to enter into a new one? Is it nerve wracking or is it nerve wracking for reasons completely unrelated? Or is he somehow calm about it? On a related note do either of them feel guilt over the relationship?
Just give me them caring about each other a whole awful lot.
Also I would be SO INTO a femslash version of Ben/Mark like ohmygod. If that is something that also intrigues you, yes please.
