Dear My Lovely Slightly Nerdy Fellow Fanfic Readers,
THIS IS NOT A I AM LEAVING FANFIC NOTE. DO NOT WORRY. I AM HERE FOR A LONG TIME (unless SOPA actually happens)
SAY NO TO SOPA.
Anyway, that is not the point of the authors note. Right now, I have a little personal story to tell you:
There was once a 14 year old girl named Penelope sitting on her bed, copying Peewee's (her friend) Social Studies notes, because she was too lazy to do it during class.
When she got to the point about the Industrial Revolution she got distracted by her bright white MacBook. So she opened it and typed in "the jungle by upton Sinclair". Soon enough she was looking at meat packing houses. Then she looked at the children labor pictures. And then went to her favorite picture from history, V-J Day (also called the kiss) and she was all like HOLY SHIT. I NEED TO WRITE AN AU FF ABOUT THIS. BUT… what couples?
Which led her to her kitchen, dancing to Accidently in Love and eating green grapes.
Then, her brain began to work. She lit a crackling melon candle, brought it to her room and began to write a little FF project for herself. While listening to her friends Ipod because hers got taken away because Penelope had a Facebook that her mother did not want her to have. And she was also listening to the soothing sound of crackling fire.
…
That's the end of my pointless story to give you guys a pointless update of my life. BUT, I actually did like the idea of writing a AU oneshot of one of my favorite couples during a historical event. But I couldn't decide which ones. That is when I thought of you guys!
What I would like for you to do, if you want to, is to either review on this story or PM me a couple that you want and a AMERICAN historical event. (If the historical event that you're thinking of is really interesting but like, French or something, PM about it so I can decide whether or not to do it)
Take note, that I am still an amateur writer in researching and such, so if I don't get everything historically right, don't be mad.
Also, this is a choice thing. So, if I choose NOT to do you story, please don't get offended. Another reason is if I don't know the characters themselves.
Right. SO. Point of this letter:
I want to write stories about my favorite couples during interesting historical time periods/events. Since I can't figure out which couples during which event/period, I want YOU to tell me.
To give you a head start, here are my ships that I like, write/would like to write, and know:
Puck and Rachel (glee)
Sam and Rachel (glee)
Mike and Rachel (glee)
St. Berry (glee)
Draco and Rachel (HP and Glee)
Draco and Quinn (HP and Glee)
Sebastian and Santana (Glee)
Sebastian and Quinn (Glee)
Sebastian and Rachel (Glee)
Spencer and Toby (PLL)
Aria and Ezra (PLL)
Santana and Emily (Glee and PLL)
Emmett and Bay (SaB)
And many others.
I am a book reader along with a TV and Movie watcher. So don't be afraid to give me any suggestions that aren't on here!
Some Historical Events:
V-J Day
9/11
Our Lady of Angels Fire
WW1
WW2
Industrial Revolution
Titanic
Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire
And honestly, that's all I can really think of at the top of my head. Which is another reason why I want to do this. I LOVE HISTORICAL STUFF. And I have no idea why. Like whenever I go to the Museum of Science and Industry, I love looking at all the old planes. And walking through Yesterday's Main Street. And old artifacts.
So I really hope this project works out for me.
