no one ever really likes getting older

[updated Oct 14]

Hello my dear ToT creator! First of all I'm so terribly sorry for making you wait for so long, and that I'm unlocking this letter now, so close to the deadline and that it's empty. I fully intended and wanted to write this letter as I thought my requested fandoms and characters for this exchange really needed further explanation, but I've been in RL emergency situation since late August and it's still been going on, much longer than I thought, and it sucked out all my time and energy and my fandom/English brain is like 90% dead I couldn't write anything at all, and I won't be able to now. I know (knew) I shouldn't have signed up for this exchange (and another) but ToT is like one of my fandom highlight events of the year I really wanted to participate and was looking forward to, so I couldn't resist and it blew. I'm just so sorry for everything, I don't know how I can apologize for causing you all the trouble and stress. I've replied to the mod's inquiry they sent upon your request, also told them about this situation. I don't know how they will handle this, but I'll let you know asap by updating the post.

UPDATE: I just heard back from the mod; I asked them if it was possible for them to reassign you to another recipient because I didn't think it was fair or right that you had to create something for me without any letter or request, with deadline being so close. They took the situation very kindly and with much care, but I was told it wasn't possible to reassign you. I'm just so sorry you're stuck with me ;_; Please don't stress yourself over this (I know you already did but still), seriously I'd love anything you do!

Here's what I always post with exchange letters that I hope helps you:

My requests in Challenge Requests Summary: at the bottom of page 79 to 80.

My requested fandom links on my Tumblr:

Pacific Rim (Movies) - Pacific Rim (2013) & Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)
DC Extended Universe - Suicide Squad (2016)
Fast and the Furious Series
The Longest Ride (2015)
Alternate Universe Works - Jaeger Academy Washed-Out PPDC Officer Nate Lambert (AU-Pacific Rim Movies)
Common Law (TV)
Battleship (2012)

My previous exchange letters (that are all left unfinished): they're basically same every time, I hope looking at them will let you see what I always request and like, and will give you some ideas & thoughts if you need them.

Again, I'm so terribly sorry.

[A couple of H/C themed gifs in this letter; I took advantage of this exchange and made a few for ~inspiration, so fair warning!]

[Anon comment is on, so if you have any questions (exchange related or not), feel free to ask here or use ask over Tumblr or send them to the exchange mods.]

[March 13: Still editing massively in parts, hopefully will finish until the end of the week. AND I'M GONNA FINISH IT FOR REAL THIS TIME I PROMISE. Feel free to start working on your work & sorry for the inconvenience (>.<)]

Hello to you fellow fandom creators! I'm wallflowering on AO3 & chrisodonnell @ Tumblr of doom. Thank you so much in advance for creating something for me. Or just being curious or (good-)crazy enough to visit this post, if you're just dropping by. Either way, I'm already excited we share some interests & hope you have a great time doing this exchange and when the collection is open, there will be tons of h/c for us to consume. ;D

Here's my requested fandoms & relationships, and Tumblr links for them on my blog because that's where I collect fannish stuff and I like to have them handy. You don't have to look through them of course, but if you feel like for some quick visual/textual inspiration or distraction, feel free to look around.

Pacific Rim (Movies) - Pacific Rim | Pacific Rim: Uprising
DC Extended Universe - Suicide Squad
Law & Order: SVU

Hello to you fellow fandom creators! Thank you so much in advance for creating something for me. Or just being curious or (good-)crazy enough to visit this post, if you're just dropping by. I hope you have a lot of fun this exchange and don't stress at all - I love every kind/form of creations and will love anything you create, I'm just super excited you're doing this! I'm wallflowering on AO3 and this is my tumblr, I mostly hang out there despite hating it lol.

I'm sorry you find this post empty though! :( I'm very bad at this letter stuff, I'm working on it and hopefully finishing the post in a couple of days.

Meanwhile, feel free to come look at my tumblr if you're interested in getting to know what I like or what I think of the fandoms/characters I requested and who I ship. As much as I don't like Tumblr it's the place I spend my fannish time, it's easier for me to cry into void over there & I'm more coherent in the tags because I can 'borrow/use' other people's creations/posts to interpret my feelings, and it could help you see what I'm trying to say.

Travis Marks
Wes Mitchell

( Letter )

Hello to you fellow rarepair shippers! Thank you so much in advance for creating something for me. Or just being curious or (good)crazy enough to visit this post. I hope you have a lot of fun this round and don't stress at all - I'm super easy to please and will love anything you create, that's for sure. I'm wallflowering on AO3, I also just got back to tumblr recently and mostly over there, mildly active.

I'm sorry you find this post empty though! :( I'm very bad at this letter stuff (aka determining what I really like/want & writing up a lot of info). I'm working hard on it and hopefully will be able to edit the post properly soon.

Meanwhile, feel free to come look at my tumblr if you're interested in getting a hint of what I like or what I think of the ships/fandoms I requested. I'm still feeling meh @ tumblr but I also think it's easier for me to cry into void over there & I'm more coherent in the tags because I can 'borrow/use' other people's creations/posts to interpret my feelings, and sometimes picture is worth thousand words (or vice versa) and it could help you see what I'm trying to say.

Tags for requested fandoms/ships:

[I usually tag consistently but fail at the ship name/tag*. It's a good chance if you click either of the character name and the shippery posts will appear too. (i.e. click James Wesley and all the Fisk/Wesley posts show up, along with Wesley only posts.)
*EXCEPT Nate Lambert/Jake Pentecost aka Lamcost, it's a very recent ship so I'm trying to tag it strictly.]

Pacific Rim: Uprising - Nate Lambert/Jake Pentecost
NCIS: Los Angeles - G Callen/Sam Hanna
DC Extended Universe (Suicide Squad) - GQ Edwards/Waylon Jones (Killer Croc), GQ Edwards/Rick Flag
Fast and the Furious Series (The Fate of the Furious) - Luke Hobbs/Eric Reisner | Little Nobody, Roman Pearce/Eric Reisner | Little Nobody
Daredevil (TV) - Wilson Fisk/James Wesley, Francis/James Wesley
Soviet Cosmonauts RPF - Yuri Gagarin/Vladimir Komarov
Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy L. Sayers - Mervyn Bunter/Peter Wimsey
