Characters/pairings of interest:
Margo Madison is the #1 all-time character of my heart, and yet this show has so many compelling characters that she is the first among a list of equals. I love writing about Molly, and would be deeply excited to write about Aleida, Karen or Tracy. I would be especially excited for a prompt that gave me an opportunity to write about Gordo, either as a PoV character or as another major character. But really, I am interested in writing about just about any main-cast character from the first three seasons, and could certainly be very easily talked into writing about either Irina Morozova or Samantha Massey with the right prompt.

I also have a deep and abiding love for several of the show's most well-developed tertiary characters: Larry Wilson, Bill Strausser, Deke Slayton (and Marge too! Marge Slayton is so interesting), Wayne Cobb. Jimmy Stevens, even!

Subjects/theme/tropes of interest:
I'm generally better with canon-compliant or canon-compatible stories, though I would also be really delighted by some sort of AU that rewards interpretive reconciliation work (aka crack treated seriously, I guess.)

Unwilling to address:
I will not* write a story that takes the canonical male-female friendships (e.g. Ed and Danielle, Karen and Wayne) and develops them in a romantic or sexual direction.

probably! it's so hard to say never! people's brains and hearts do weird shit sometimes, and I do love stories about people getting caught off guard by that kind of weird shit. So maybe it's better to say that I am *potentially receptive to this kind of prompt, if and only if it comes under the heading of weird internal wire-crossing.

I'm happy to write about a character hating another character, but I will not write a story in which one or more characters are Just Bad Actually.

Other notes:
I'm hoping we can have a conversation about what I'll write for you! For me, fic is deeply interwoven with interpreting canon, and I think it will help me write (and hopefully be more fun) if we can spend some time hashing through relevant sections of canon together.
