Hi everyone! Today you're reading this because you, like the vast majority of us, love auslly (or another pairing) on the show 'Austin & Ally' [just for the record, a show I do not own]. This 'story' will be a compilation of all my one-shots, with addition to commissioned and requested one-shots you guys want to read.
PAIRINGS
These one-shots, based on the Austin & Ally characters, delve into different fragments of their lives. Given, most of these will be 'auslly' fluff, but there will also be alternate pairings (like Gally, or Trez). Friendship one-shots will be marked with Austin + Ally, and relationship type ones are like Austin x Ally. Family ones will simply have their last names like 'Moon', 'Starr', 'Dawson', 'Wade' etc. (The name only denotes the focus of the story. Because, for example, a one-shot is fixed on Trace, it doesn't mean Dez won't appear in the story – it simply means that he won't be 'with' Trish).
I'm happy to take requests for any pairings WITHIN THE SHOW (no Raura, Caini, or r5 inclusion). This is not because I don't adore the cast and the band, I do, I just think real people should live their real lives. But fictional characters? Let's go all out!
GENRE/FORM
Try and keep the requests clean, no smut would be appreciated. Swears may be used (there will be forewarning before each one-shot) but beyond that, it will stay relatively clean.
A whole lot of people have niches when it comes to writing. Mine happens to be personalised tragedy. I simply like to write sad stories, in an open and honest way. (Like letters, or deep internal narration). In my opinion, they give the best one-shots because they explore all facets of emotions, and enable the characters to speak more openly about how they feel.
Most of these stories will be AU (alternate universe) but some may extend to what we've seen on television already, some may be slight re-writes of episodes or some could be events occurring after a certain episode (like writing about what Ally did after she and Austin broke up in Couples & Careers). One shots will also include song fics, and unexplained back-stories (like Lester and Penny's divorce, why Austin doesn't have siblings, the exact moment Dez knew he wanted to be a director etc etc).
REQUESTS
Like I've mentioned, I will be writing my own one-shots from my own ideas, but I'm more than happy to accommodate ideas from you guys! I will be taking requests, so if you have a fantasy you wish to see unfurl (from any ship on the show) I'd be happy to write it for you!
For those of you whom are familiar with me on this site, you'll know that I'm probably the laziest writer ever. Sometimes I update, sometimes I don't. I kind of suck. But that's why this one-shot thing is such a good idea – I can write it, and it's done. So this is the benefit of one-shots, they are easier to read, get to the heart of an issue a lot faster, and you won't be nabbed, waiting for an ending.
Okay, now to the part you really care about – requests. I have a specific form for requesting one-shots, and that's only so I can make the story as true to your desires as possible.
Type: What is the orientation for the story? Is it family, friendship, or romance?
Form: How, and if, the one-shot relates to the TV sohw. This means asking you to distinct if the story is an AU, re-write, backstory, song fic, before/afters (if rewrite, before/afters or back story, mention to which episode.)
Ship/s: If romance, what are the characters that are the couple? (Auslly, trez, trace.. etc)
Characters: If AU, specify how the characters are different. Also write which characters you want included in the one-shot.
Plot: Pretty simple – what you want me to write about. Be as detailed as possible.
Mood: What do you want to feel whilst reading the story? Do you want to feel all cute and lovey? Sad? Angry?
Anything else?: Any extra details or something that I really must include or add (like saying Ally's a vegetarian?) or anything like that.
Here's an example one I've filled out:
Type: Romance
Form: AU
Ship/s: Auslly
Characters: Season 1. Ally's really shy, and Austin is childish.
Plot: Austin and Ally have never met. Austin enters the store, Sonic Boom, wanting to buy a guitar.
Mood: Sweet, romantic
Anything else?: Ally's songbook somehow factors into it
(just to ensure you guys can trust me, I'll give you an example to a plot I may pull from this request).
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Ally humming to herself, whilst scribbling into her songbook. She's on break at the store, while another young employee works the register. The lunch time rush booms, and Ally simply watches it all, her book in hand. Seeing the employee inundated with work, she decides to go over and help the flailing girl, when someone runs straight into her. Ally's book goes flying, as the man runs off in a hurry. A mess on the floor, Austin helps her up, her book in his hands.
"I'm quite the catch," he winks, laughing at his joke. Pragmatic Ally freaks out and snatches the book from him. Bewildered, Ally apologises for her odd behaviour.
Ally assists Austin in choosing a guitar, Ally's book glued to her hand. They have an earnest conversation about their love of music, Ally's stage-fright, and Austin becomes sympathetic. Ally takes over the register to cash in the guitar, and feels gutted that Austin leaves the store. Without another word, he's gone. At the end of the day, Austin returns after having thought non-stop about Ally, and takes her book. She screams, and he writes a cute note inside, his number included. Austin writes, "I've never written a song before, but tonight I will. And it will be about you." With a smile that makes Ally's heart melts, Austin once again leaves the store. With a skip in his step, Austin leaves the mall, his face frozen in a smile. "

Anything else?:
Some people may want to see genuine moments come to life through writing, and want to see how other people would envision the event. Some others, however, may want to taunt me with ridiculous and unfathomed plots just to see what straws I can grasp to. For example, someone may request a 'trez' story CENTRED around a ladder. Wow, how boring? Are they just in a tool shed, looking at a ladder? For those of you who want funnier stories, or want to really see me put my wits to the test, I encourage you to give me weird requests like this! They can be quite entertaining. For example, using my aforementioned ladder story, I would probably do something like this – IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Dez had always been afraid. Standing there with Trish at that moment really intensified this for him. The ladder towered over the pool, leading to the diving board. His friends wanted him to jump, he did too – but he was afraid. Trish laughed at him, but her laughing stopped when he retorted "no height on that ladder will stop you from being a little person!". The bickering turns to nurturing as Trish guides Dez up the ladder. At the peak, many people balloon below, waiting for him to dive. Dez
doesn't want to. Until Trish shows him there's nothing to be afraid of. They jump off together, as Dez hollers with fear. They rise to the top of the water, and Trish merely smirks at him. "You did it, I'm so proud of you." They hug earnestly. Silence envelops them, as Trish realises what she just said. "Uh, you doof!" She proceeds to punch him in the arm, but Dez continues to smile. Today he dived off the board, but maybe he'll string together the courage to tell her how he really feels.
One day."
That's actually not a bad plot, is it? (Well, it kinda is, but still...) Send me all your desires and fantasies, with addition to seemingly impossible requests, and let's see what I can do!

So that is definitely enough from me today. On the next chapter will be a list of all the one-shots, with a brief one/two sentenced synopsis of each one-shot to see if you'd enjoy reading them. So guys, get requesting, and I'll work to put up all these one-shots in due time!
Thanks, everyone! J
