+ Have you made any progress? Setbacks, successes, or unexpected developments? I finally have all the yarn I need, knock wood. And I either have patterns or reference photos that will let me create patterns for the various animals...although I keep changing my mind about what sort of turtle Turtle should be. Going to have to make up a pattern for the awesome scary-ass iguana I want to make, which is fine. This is all educational & a lot of the fun is figuring out how to make it work.
Still also pondering making a NWMP!Meg Thatcher doll, but I'm going to need help designing a woman's Mountie uniform appropriate to the 1890s. Possibly I should be looking at Steampunk patterns...
+ Do you have a bulletproof/go-to AU, like a bulletproof trope or kink, except for AUs? Well, I love space, as everyone knows, but I also really enjoy whimsical/magical/supernatural tropes (although I'm so completely over werewolves, sorry) and time travel and superheroes and zoos/safaris/animal sanctuaries. And I've enjoyed some fairytale & harlequin AUs with heroic female characters and subverted patriarchies. And espionage. God, I would LOVE to read a Due South espionage AU. Like, not just Fraser being all James Bond -- Fraser's not nearly enough of an asshole to be a convincing Bond, although he is kind of a dick at the end of Odds, actually -- but more of a Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy kind of thing. I wonder if that exists. It should exist.
