What I won't write: see above, but I'm an inexperienced slasher.

3 things I don't want: death, babies (although a pregnant Sharon is okay), anything else is just fine
What I will write: I'll try my hand at anything
What I won't write: see above, but I've never written slash (Hi,
Pinch-hit? No thanks. I already have too much on my plate and shouldn't be signing up for another ficathon, but I can't resist.
September 26 2005, 15:35:50 UTC 6 years ago
Request: I just want something that isn't massively dark. I want these people to have some fun. Angst is fine, so long as there is also humor. And I guess I'd like to see the fic set somewhere during season 1 or 2, rather than the mini or before, but hey. That's fine, too, if that's where the voices take you. :P

Character and/or pairing: Adama/Roslin, Dualla/Billy, Adama, Roslin, Dualla
Request (scenario for character or pairing): Romance for pairing, past life for character

September 25 2005, 04:32:27 UTC 6 years ago
Email: lepetitarsenic at gmail
Character and/or pairing: Characters okay? Erm, pilots, deck crew, and CIC. Go at it!
Request: I'd really love to see some focus on the comedown after a battle; what everybody does in the aftermath of a cylon attack, for instance, with the exhausted showering and heavy drinking and cleaning up and cuddling and brawling and whatnot. Bonus points to you if you drop in some Kara/Lee and/or Gaeta, Tyrol, Dee, Helo and Cally, all of whom I love a whole lot.
Spoilers to: Pre-Pegasus.
3 things you want in your fic:
1) Lovin' for the minor characters. Everybody's got somebody, even if that somebody doesn't exactly have them back.
3) Personal routines.
2) Helo adjusting to the Galactica routine (as a pilot.)
3 things you don't want:
1) Overly self-aware dialogue (i.e. "Lee, I can never love again because Zak's death only reaffirmed my belief that life is inherently untrustworthy; we just aren't suited for each other now, but maybe someday down the line your steady and unswavering support will fix me and we can have babies. Let's leave this ambiguously open!" I will cry.
2) Somebody coming off massively as the bad guy.
3) Big reveals or big plot thingies.
What you will write: Hoo boy. Would prefer Lee/Kara or a some sort of single character piece involving pretty much anybody but Cmdr. Adama, Roslin, or Zarek. Pilots/crew are kind of my forte, but I could definitely hack a cylon-centric fic if anybody wanted one.
What you won't write: Um, I suck at boyslash. I could probably do Helo/Lee pretty soundly, as long as there was no graphic sex, but femmeslash I could definitely do... again, non-graphically.
Pinch-hit?: If it fits the above requirements, I could probably swing it.
September 25 2005, 05:04:00 UTC 6 years ago
Email: kmgray3 at aol dot com
Character and/or pairing: Tigh (just to be different ;-) )
Request: Seeing more of the people in the civilian fleet and their reactions to the military.
Spoilers to: Pegasus
3 things you want in your fic: Good characterization, plausibility, and imagery
3 things you don't want: pregnancies, babies, mary-sue characters
What you will write: I'll open to just about anything save below.
What you won't write: romantic Lee/Laura (Just can't see it.)
Pinch-hit?: No.
September 25 2005, 05:30:14 UTC 6 years ago
Email: snowheel at bellsouth dot com
Character and/or pairing: Adama, Roslin, Lee/Kara, Billy/Dualla
Request (scenario for character or pairing): the events right after the end of Pegasus
Spoilers to: Pegasus
3 things you want in your fic: bold storytelling, compelling characters, and realistic relationships
3 things you don't want: pointless aliens just thrown in for effect, one-dimensional characters, and repetitive battles
What you will write: something that focuses on the future beyond Pegasus, but also looks back at the past before the Cylon attacks
What you won't write: no unrealistic romantic pairings (i.e. Adama/Tigh or Roslin/Kara)
Pinch-hit?: I'd consider it.

3 things you want in your fic: Roughness, minimal angst, snuggling (or something that might awkwardly pass for it) after the right amount of graphic man-love.
3 things you don't want: too much angst
What you will write: Slash, I won't be picky about who too much
What you won't write: gen, het, or femslash. I'll write almost all slash, but PLEASE no Adama/Tigh... :shudder:

Pinch-hit?: depends on how busy I am

Email: dearladydisdain at gmail.com
Character and/or pairing: Lee/Kara, Billy(/Dee), Tom Zarek

Spoilers to: all aired episodes

3 things you don't want: Pairings that contradict the above (though I would not object to Tom/Roslin or Tom/Meier), super explicit smut, unremitting angst

Email: JLvov [at] aol [dot] com
Character and/or pairing: Baltar/Gina, Helo/Boomer, Tyrol
Request (scenario for character or pairing): I am not picky. Just no deathfic, and no pre-mini.
Spoilers to: Anything
3 things you want in your fic: Characterization, angst, and if it's Helo/Boomer, no making Boomer the evil bitch, please.
3 things you don't want: slash, deathfic, threesomes
What you will write: Baltar/Gina, Baltar/Six, Helo/Boomer, fic about Adama, Roslin, Lee, Kara. Minot character observing major characters. Tyrol
What you won't write: Slash, smut, deathfic
Pinch-hit?: No
September 26 2005, 19:57:50 UTC 6 years ago
LJ:
Email: spoongirltrinity at yahoo dot com
Character and/or pairing: Lee/Kara, Baltar/Six, Tyrol/any female
Request: I'm happy with just about anything, really. And smut is always welcomed. I love missing-moment fics, too, filling in the gaps between scenes or episodes.
Spoilers to: anything is fair game
3 things you'd like in your fic: again, I'm not picky about what I want as long as it's canon
3 things you don't want: ok, here's where I might get picky. No Lee/Kara fluff. No slash, no death.
Can write: angst, humor, smut, space battles, darkfic, gen fic
Can't write: slash, fluff (ok, well I can, but it won't be all that fluffy. I'm like fluff-lite).
Pinch-hit? Sure.
September 26 2005, 20:16:39 UTC 6 years ago
LJ:
Character: Laura Roslin, Bill Adama, Kara Thrace
Pairing: Roslin/Adama, Roslin/Starbuck
Request: I'd love to see some good pastfic about Roslin, Bill Adama, or Starbuck. Either that, or character pieces.
3 things you'd like in your fic: Drama is good. I'd like to see relationships, and how they relate to who the person became after the attacks.
3 things you don't want: Massive angst is so not my thing. Shippy is fine, as long as characterization is the primary object of the story.
Can write: All the above.
Can't write: Most of the other characters; PWP, non-con or incest.
September 26 2005, 20:16:51 UTC 6 years ago
Email: retyped@mac.com
Character and/or pairing: Kara centric with hints of Kara/Lee, Kara/Helo and Kara/Anders
Request (scenario for character or pairing):
How did Kara Thrace get to be Kara Thrace? Give me a character history, be as detailed as you want. How did she start painting? Fragmented and mixed up storylines are amazing. Angst related to Zak and the Cylons would be excellent as well.
Spoilers to: end of Season two
3 things you want in your fic:
sex, subtext and discussion/speculation about The Kiss.
3 things you don't want:
mindless fluff and Kara acting like or being called a whore
What you will write:
het, femmeslash, mindless smut, angst, Kara, Lee, Helo, Boomer, pre series speculation, "unaired" scenes etc.
What you won't write: M/M slash sex scenes. I am crap at those.
Pinch-hit?: Yes!
I'd also like to request a beta reader, I am still new to BSG fan fiction and I'd like a second opinion from someone.
September 26 2005, 21:17:18 UTC 6 years ago
Email: ParkerMCarter89@aol.com or asabbeyaspossible@yahoo.com
Character and/or pairing: Adama/Roslin (sep. or together) Gina (PegaSix), Dee
Request (scenario for character or pairing): I want to know who Gina was; what her life was like, tell me who she was. Wash she a sleeper? As for Adama and Roslin, make them real people. Anything related about who they were before. It would be nice for them to just be friends for a few moments. And with Dee, it's all fair game.
Spoilers to: Up to Pegasus if you like.
3 things you want in your fic: Depth, imagery, subtlety (and #4: good writing)
3 things you don't want: simple emotions, PWP sex, fairy tale-ending because it just isdn't that simple.
What you will write:I'm can write drama, supernatural, angst, character death, romance, pre-BSG backstory, dialogue, drabbles and more (except humor). I'm not funny. I'm witty. You will discover the difference very quickly with me. I would only write Starbuck slash or straight romance if I was allowed to make someone up. I would write D'Apollo or Dee/Lee also. I'm willing to take on all those mid-life babies and that no one wants. I don't do fluff but I do a mean middle-aged love story.
What you won't write: slash (except in the above circs.) or Lee anything; Tigh at all; or Starbuck/Roslin.
Pinch-hit?: Not sure what that is, but I'd probably agree to it.

Taking the plunge...
Name and LJ: Grace O'MalleyEmail:graceomal@yahoo.com
Character and/or pairing:A/R (but doesn't have to be romance), along with any or all of the following: Cain, Gina, Baltar, Apollo (including others is fine too, but these are the main ones I'd like to see interacting).
Request (scenario for character or pairing):I would love to see Roslin and Cain interact--not a screaming match (and NO hair-pulling), but a true power struggle. Adama can look on in awe ;-)
Spoilers to: through Pegasus
3 things you want in your fic: good characterizations and dialog, attention to mechanics of writing, and did I say good characterizations and dialog?
3 things you don't want: fluff, out of character dialog and/or behavior, long-winded internal monologues about character's true feelings.
What you will write: I'd have a go at most characters and pairings (exceptions below). Even for the pairings I'd rather avoid, I'd still be happy to include those characters. I'll write any rating from gen to smut, but I'd rather not *promise* explicit smut (*that* muse is very capricious).
What you won't write: I'd just as soon not write A/R, just because I usually write them and I'd like to experiment; I'd rather not write L/K, because others can do much better by them than I could; ditto Helo/Boomer; I'm really not a slash fan, so I'm not keen to go there, but subtext would be okay.
Pinch-hit?: Dunno, I think I've been pretty broad already. But you can ask if there's a crunch.
