Dear Writer: Narnia Fic Exchange
Aug. 1st, 2018 12:15 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
spellbound_316DNW:rape/dub-con, porn/smut, really just no sex please, non-canon character death, character bashing, suicide, mental health issues without a hopeful ending, amnesia, romantic situations that aren't specifically asked for, incest, infidelity, spanking, abuse, unhealthy relationships, major character who is sexist/racist/homophobic/transphobic/aphobic/etc., undead, disrespect of ANY belief/spirituality/religion, OOC major characters, character/reader pairings, NO ASLAN BASHING
Likes:strong loyalty, characters being protective of other characters, platonic love, platonic touching, hurt/comfort with an emphasis on the comfort, found family, characters being nerds, damaging thoughts proven wrong, vulnerability, characters being BAMF, asexual and aromantic characters, gender-neutral/gender-fluid/agender/transgender characters, whump, happy or hopeful endings
With any of these prompts, genre is not really a big issue. I'm not huge into horror or paranormal, but anything else is free game. I'd prefer a hopeful, if not happy, ending, but I'm not a picky reader. I love whatever, whether I laughed, melted, or bawled. Some of the prompt are longer than others, and some don't exist. Don't take that as a sign of which ones I want more. It just means I copied from several other letters. Feel free to ignore the extra prompts I give too if you have something else you want to write. Have fun!
Hint: I love stories that involve Narnian characters coming to England or English characters coming to Narnia (or in some other way find out about the various adventures in Narnia) (that wouldn't normally be there, like the Pevensies' parents). But don't feel obligated to do this if you have a different idea. The other thing I really like is exploring the cultures in Narnia and the surrounding countries. Don't feel like you need to shy away from worldbuilding, or from taking creative license with how the societies work, including politics. But, again, don't feel like you need to do this.
Edmund Pevensie & Lucy Pevensie & Peter Pevensie & Susan Pevensie: I would love to see more of the golden age, but any time period is fine with me. If you do go with the golden age, I like anything that involves their bond as siblings or as consorts. Feel free to get into the nitty gritty parts of ruling a country.
Lucy Pevensie & Reepicheep: Maybe Lucy uses her status to win a hug
Lucy Pevensie & Tumnus: I love this friendship. Maybe have Lucy standing up for Tumnus after the war (he was a traitor after all), or maybe a 5+1 of them taking care of each other.

Emeth & Tirian: This could be comparing similarities or differences, or things that they think Calormen got right that Narnia didn’t. Feel free to take artist license in creating aspects of Calormen culture. This group can only happen canonically in Aslan’s Country. If you don’t want to write a story set there, you can send them on a mission somewhere else. That could be either back in time in Narnian history or to some other world.
Jill Pole/Tirian: I love the ending of The Last Battle, and I don’t think it needs to be “fixed,” but if you want to write these two as a couple in Narnia, then you could write it as a “fix-it” story. That being said, you could address it like the others set in Aslan’s Country, either leaving the setting there or sending them on some adventure.
Lucy Pevensie/Tirian ^^ Or bring Tirian to England
Rilian & Golg
Puddleglum & Rilian (Narnia)
Tirian (Narnia): You could write anything with Tirian in any setting and I would absolutely enjoy it. Adventure, whump, hurt/comfort, fluff, mystery, you name it, I’ll like it. Other than that, I would love to see a story about Tirian set before The Last Battle. Maybe a fic that sets up a background for how come he didn’t get taken in by Shift’s plans.

Helen Pevensie/Mr. Pevensie
Jill Pole & Eustace Scrubb: I see this relationship as close to siblings, so please don't ship them together. I like the idea of them using their status as babies of the group to win favors. Otherwise, maybe do an AU where they end up spending more time in Narnia or bringing more of Narnia back to their school.
Caspian & Jill Pole Maybe extend the end of Silver Chair, or let Caspian stay in our world for longer.

Shasta | Cor/Aravis Tarkheena: I would be interested to see how the politics of their relationship work out.

Digory Kirke & Polly Plummer: I like the idea that some of their adventures back in England influence things back in Narnia. For example, maybe Polly paints the picture from the VotDT. Another fun thing might be exploring how they know so much about Narnia when they've only been there once (or maybe not. I have a headcanon that they made it back at least once more).
Caspian/Ramandu's Daughter | Liliandil
Puzzle (Narnia): I'd love to see Puzzle learning to love and forgive himself.
