bramblesandramblesMy Interests are still the same! Good luck, author! I know you'll do great!
9 to 5 (1980)
Plot. I love this little slice of sweet revenge to utter pieces. So we know generally what happens after the movie ends, but do the girls keep in touch? Those epilogues don't say anything about it but I'd love something where they do so, either through the phone or via letter (and eventually email?).
Deeper peeks into the characters would be lovely. What of Violet's new marriage? Judy's life as a corporate head and a mother? Doralee's journey through the world of country music?
Even better - a committed poly relationship would be divine! Anything from everyone figuring out they're queer late in life to some UST would be great!
A Little Romance (1979)
Plot Summary. This is just the cutest story in the world, and I absolutely would love to read something about Daniel and Lauren as adults, trying to navigate a long-distance relationship. Has Daniel become a film scholar? Has Lauren become a professor? Do they meet to honor the memory of their friend Julius?
Julius backstory would also be a lot of fun. Tell me about other people he's counceled throughout his lifetime. Maybe he's secretly immortal?
Missing scenes from their trips? What would've happened if they'd been caught sooner, or never made it to the Bridge of Sighs?
Carrie - Stephen King
Plot Summary. My real desire when it comes to fic in this fandom is to see some kind of reconciliation between Carrie and Sue - whether it be spiritual or mental or anything like that.
I love the uncomfortable relationship between Sue and Carrie in the books and I really want to read more of that particularly. Missing moments from their growing up together, etc.
There's some schools of thought that suggest the little girl refereed to at the end of the novel is Carrie reborn, in a happier family and into a happier life. I'd love to have that explored - a positive reincarnation for Carrie, meeting an adult Sue, who is perhaps now her teacher.
Give me some of Carrie's happy moments. She had to have a few meager flickers of joy in her life. Or Carrie as an angel or a ghost, roaming the streets of Chamberlin, confused.
Or maybe Sue, after the fact, dealing with adulthood, dealing with her own children.

Plot Summary. This is one of those movies I have hundreds of fond childhood memories about.
Vida is a total badass and my favorite character by far. Totally. We all know the whys of her toughness, but not the hows? What about her life after the pageant? Does she keep in touch with Carol Ann? Does she win any more contests? Does she become a full-on mentor as she gets older? Does she go on any more trips, by herself or with the others? What is she up to?
What's Carol Ann's life now that she's free of her husband? Does she open a garage? Does she go off on her own journey? Does she find someone special of her own after the rough hand that's been dealt her?
Laverne and Shirley (TV)
Plot Summary. This is another comfort food fandoms of mine, and another favorite show! I'd love to have some fix-its for season 8 - ones where Shirley doesn't leave, or doesn't marry Walter. I'm also very here for all of the Shirley/Laverne and the Lenny/Laverne.
I love Squiggy and anything centered on him would be fun, too. Maybe a day in his life? Maybe something about Lenny making it big in music? Maybe Laverne gets them jobs testing space suits with her?
Alternate world where they never leave Milwaukee, maybe?
Modern Family (TV)
Plot Summary: I'm very, very interested in fix-it fic for Haley and Andy's relationship, and very interested in seeing Haley begin to grow up even more as a person. Maybe more of Andy's backstory and goofiness?
Alternately, Lily's POV on life in the family from her teen years to her adult years. What does it mean to be adopted into this clan?
