Fic in a Box Letter 2022

2022-09-01T22:55:36Z

Dear Fic in a Box Creator,

Hello! I’m LearnedFoot on A03! You’ve matched (or, if you’re a pinch hitter, chosen) on at least one of these fandoms/characters/ships, which already means we have things in comment. Excellent! I am very excited to see what you come up with!

To start, even though I’ve written a fair amount here, I want to say I’m actually very easy to please. As long as you stick in the general area of my likes and respect my DNWs, I’m going to be delighted. Also, I’m equally excited about all of these options! Some sections are longer than others because I have more specific ideas about certain fandoms, but I didn’t request anything I wouldn’t be over the moon to receive.

Here is what this letter contains:

General Likes
Art Likes
Other Opt-In Likes
DNWs
Avengers/Spider-Man [Peter Parker & Others | Peter Parker/Matt Murdock]
The Bear [Various Characters and Ships]
BoJack Horseman [BoJack, BoJack/Mr. PB, Sarah Lynn]

Smut Swap Roundup

2019-04-28T13:21:53Z

Smut Swap reveals were yesterday, so quick roundup:

I received two wonderful, just full-on perfect gifts. Highly recommended for all of my Peter/Tony friends if you haven't already read them:
Your Eyes Only [4.4k, voyeurism]
Fake Relationship; Real Feelings [5.3k, fake relationship]

I also wrote a couple of things, all P/T as well:
Closer Look [3.6k, just kinda porn and feelings]
Pretend [5.1k, sex pollen]
Still Use Work [6.5k, for science]

I had so much fun with this exchange! I stretched myself outside of my comfort zone (er, content wise. Clearly not ship wise), and am pleased with the results. And again, seriously, my gifts were so good!

I also wrote a treat for Space Swap, which is much more in what I think of as my natural h/c + sweet ending wheelhouse, but with more aliens than usual:
Running With the Stars [5.3k, T]

It's funny, looking at my works posted under this username, I've written almost as much E stuff as T/G, but having never written smut before I got into this ship, I still think of it as so, so not my thing. But I'm glad I decided to try to lean into it for this exchange.

Hurt/Comfort Exchange Letter

2019-03-02T14:46:06Z

Dear author/artist,

Hello! You’ve matched (or, if you’re a pinch hitter, chosen) on one of these pairs and a freeform, which means we already have a lot in common. How excellent. I am an absolute sucker for H/C so I am thrilled beyond belief about this exchange, and I’m excited to see what you write!

First off, even though I’ve written a lot here, I want to say I’m actually very easy to please. As long as you stick in the general area of my likes and respect my DNWs, I’m going to be delighted, so please do not feel constrained by this letter. Also, I’m equally excited about all of these options! Some sections are longer than others because I have more specific ideas about certain character combos or freeforms, but I didn’t request anything I wouldn’t be over the moon to receive, as should be obvious from the fact that I maxed the heck out of my choices.

This letter contains the followings:
General likes, DNWs, etc.
Crossover Fandom: Buffy/Angel [Connor/Dawn]
Crossover Fandom: Doctor Who/MCU [Rocket Raccoon & The Doctor (2005)]

Chocolate Box!

2019-02-22T05:28:25Z

Chocolate Box was the first exchange I've participated in in *years,* and the first one under this identify, and it resulted in an embarrassment of riches. I got four wonderful gifts, had a blast writing five fic, had amazing recips -- I'm almost scared to do more exchange because it's hard to see how I can top this. Not that it will stop me from signing up for H/C Exchange and maybe Smut Swap... I guess I'm an exchange person now. All it takes is one hit.

Anyway, the rundown:

What I received
Always Welcome, Peter/Tony, E
If you like this ship at all I can't recommend this more highly. Drunk Peter! IW angst! Sweet, and sexy, and full of feels all at once, it is everything I could ask for in P/T fic.

As Easy as Understanding, Nebula/Natasha, T
I requested this ship because I was curious about it, and this fic confirmed that I think it is a great idea. If you are also curious, you should check it out. Short, sweet, and just *so them.*

I Can Show You the World, Bucky/Shuri, T
Bucky/Shuri! snickfic wrote me Bucky/Shuri! And it is absolutely wonderful. Really, really beautiful fic. Really recommend it.

Rental, Peter/Tony (with Venom!), T
Venom gets Peter, Eddie and Tony team up to get their boys back. This is a freaking delight, and I highly recommend it not only to P/T fans, but to anyone who likes Venom. As much as I enjoyed the shippy parts, I think the best part was Tony and Eddie being forced to work together, and getting along not at all. It's great.

What I Wrote

MCU
And Again and Again, Peter/Tony, time loop, 6k, T
One of my great joys of this fest was seeing a few people who said they don't even really like the ship rec this, which is a huge compliment. I'd never written time loops before, but between this and Russian Doll I might now be addicted.

Anything but the Best, Peter/Tony, suit porn, 4k, E
Just what it says on the tin. But with feelings, because I can't not.

Not the Point, Peter/Tony, 3.3k, E
Peter almost dies, it leads to a fight and porn. Like you do. Porn with feels is my bread and butter with this ship, #sorrynotsorry

Something Left to Lose, Bucky & Rocket, 4k, G
AU where Bucky survives IW, and forms a friendship with Rocket, because they so would.

Doctor Who/Star Wars
Never Fail to Be, Thirteen + Kylo/Rey, 6.3k, G
Of everything I wrote this time, this is the most outside of my wheelhouse -- I'd never written any of these characters, or in these verses or, IIRC, a crossover of any sort -- but I also think it is the best. In fact, it's probably the best thing I've ever written. This is not to put down the other stuff I wrote, which I am generally quite pleased with, just to say it is incredibly rare for me to feel like I *nailed* a story top to bottom, but I do feel that way about this one. I give all credit to lucymonster's amazing crossover prompts, which just sparked something in me.

(Writing this was also a lovely reminder that as much as MCU has most of my fandom attention these days, Doctor Who has a uniquely special place in my heart for a reason.)
