Re: Pure pandering
(Anonymous) 2014-11-30 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)Relatively grounded, normal characters thrown into strange situations and kind of taking it in stride and handling it to the best of their abilities. Characters who are very concerned with ethics in ways that aren't stupid or stuck-up, who are flexible but good, and who face significant moral dilemmas. Characters who are calculating. Characters who are calculating and analytical but also morally good. Characters with divergent moral views. Just lots and lots of characters who are smart and good at doing things and also grounded and care about doing the right things. Also, lots of characters who are totally grumps and sarcastic.
Romance plots. Characters who don't have romance plots but are just friends. Lesbians. Lesbian romance. Romance plots that are basically about characters being able to rely on and support each other more than anything else. Lots of fluffiness but all of it almost kind of hidden benath sarcasm or sadness or black humor or what-have-you. Grumps refusing to admit that they love each other even though they clearly do and it's obvious to everyone involved. Romance that isn't saccharine sweet, that's between characters who are good characters in their own right, and who have their own shit going on, and who aren't idiots about romance.
Also, ferociously intelligent, powerful, sarcastic women with long dark hair, who are professional and fierce and deadly, and who also want to be loved, but aren't willing to sacrifice their quality of totally owning all the time for that goal. And kooky, eccentric blonde women. Also big dudes with beards. Those are three character types I would like to request should be present in this.
An interesting, distinct setting that's actually used in some way - where the work and its tone draw something from the setting. Not just set in some generic anytown. Lots of road trips and traveling. Lots of spunky kids with moxie and a lot of smarts and a sharp mouth. People who are misfits but funny and decent and, again, grounded. Some kind of sense of wonder, although again hidden behind difficulty.
Nothing that pisses me off.
Uh. I think that's most of it...
