Just out of curiosity. What do you really want to read that either doesn't exist or is really hard to find and possibly outdated?

Things that aren't post-modern, ironic, or self-aware. That don't wink and grin or try to be witty. That don't "play with" or "deconstruct" tropes. That don't rely on cannibalizing the images and the power of other things. That try to work within genre without commenting on it. That tell a story as well and as capably as they can, and just try to make something good.

Allow me to introduce you to 99% of everything written before the '60s.

I thought deconstructionism was out of vogue at the moment in most genres? Everything in the past few years seems to be about reconstruction of tropes and genres, or decon-recon switches.

I kinda want some crossover ships with a bit of exploration. Example: character A finds up in a new world, meets the locals, gets into trouble, falls in love, etc. etc. . BUT THEN, suddenly character A finds out that he CAN go back to his world, and thus starts a debate as to whether he should/should not go back.

Also, I like to see some crack crossover stories where the characters are just having fun and laughter together.

I feel I'm the only one like this.

Oh, I like these ideas too, actually. (-:

I love these!

fanfic-wise there's a certain character that isn't considered very attractive but I really want porn with him in it. There's only like one story.

Non fanfic wise I want more science fiction (no space travelling tho) with a female protag and no romance whatsoever.

Ooh what besides space travel do you like? Because that's kind of the stuff I'm trying to write rn.

I'm really fond of stories with any sort of humans modified heavily with technology. Cyborgs, robots, human-like AI's. That kind of stuff is my favorite.

Sweeet I like that too.

I commented about this a few days ago, but I'm going to say it again: I wish there were Anne of Green Gables fanfic about Marilla and Rachel growing old together at Green Gables. If it exists--if anyone can rec me some--I will love you forever.

I really want more stories about super noble white knight paladin type guys. Like, heroes that are completely truly heroic in every way. Total Gary Stu fixing-all-the-things dudes. Its a little silly but this is my favorite character type and while there are a few (very VERY few) chick characters I know of who fit this, I can't think of any dudes. Outside of maybe Jesus or something.

It seems like every story nowadays has to be about troubled anti-heroes. :( I just want my super-idealized manly men. I have to get my fix by playing them in rpgs.

A fairy-tale retelling/re-imagining that doesn't feel the need to make everything dark and gritty and overly-sexual and self-aware.

+1

~~hi I have insomnia~~

Agreed. It is possible to be smart and deconstruct tropes without making everything miserable or full of porn...I mean, not that misery and porn aren't great, but it gets old.

Have you tried Mercedes Lackey's 500 Kingdoms series? It's very self-aware (in the sense of people being aware of The Tradition, which tries to shape things into, uh, traditional stories), but not at all dark, gritty, or overly-sexual.

Stories in which different societies collide, and everything about one culture is challenged by the other and heavily examined by the text, especially when one tries to unfairly conquer the other and gets roundly defeated. Really fond of it, but it's hard to find where that's the entire plot and not interrupted by a bunch of stuff I don't care about.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Clash-U-S-Japanese-Relations-Throughout/dp/0393318370

It's more complicated than that, of course. But then, it always is.

Oh, thanks! I keep meaning to read more detail about Japanese and US American relations over history, but I didn't know where to start. That seems like a good book to do it with.

LaFeber's a first rate historian, but he writes in a very accessible style. This was required reading for my MA, and I loved it (more than, say, Foucault, augh).
