Dear Author,
Firstly, thank you for writing for me! I am looking forward to reading your story, and I hope you have fun writing it!. This is my AO3 account.
Here are a few more thoughts about the things I've requested; they're to give you some ideas, not to be prescriptive! I most want to read a story you want to tell, however you want to tell it; my only DNW is underage sex.
I love Gunnerkrigg Court, and have been reading it for several years now. I love the sense of place, the great storylines, and the mix of serious drama and sometimes-silly humour. I love the range of characters, and the way that there's more to many of them than it as first seems.
Coyote loves to tell stories, and he loves to mess with people. Annie doesn't take any nonsense from him, though. I'd really like a story with Coyote, Annie, and Kat in. Alternatively, we know what happens to Annie and Paz in the summer when Annie is in the Forest - what does Kat do over that summer?.
I keep up-to-date with this comic, and have also read the 3 "extra" comics; so no worries about spoilers :-)
The Culture is Bank's post-scarcity utopian society, a collection of AIs and post-humans (and some aliens) and a vast canvas for his stories that can be political, funny, dark, scary, philosophical, or all of the above. I love how he manages vast scale and compelling characters, and that his stories of the Culture are somehow fundamentally hopeful.
Most of the Culture series deal with what happens when the Culture (largely through Contact or Special Circumstances) interact with other, often unfriendly, civilisations. But what happens in the Culture when SC isn't getting involved in something messy? What do people like Diziet do when off-duty? Feel free to write porn if you think that's what the answer is!
I'm happy if you don't include Diziet, but they seem the best of the nominated characters to tell stories about. Equally, don't feel constrained by the questions in the previous paragraph.
I have been entertained by the antics of Yelling Bird (and the less-frequent appearances of the Shame Orb); it's not grown-up humour, but it makes me laugh.
Yelling Bird and the Shame Orb clearly have history (see QC 1567). I would be bowled over by some cracky slash between them. Maybe even what happened on June 14th 1987!
...but any QC characters are OK if you're reading this and thinking "Oh God no..."
