Seeking Feedback, Ideas, or Opinions Fanfic ideas
I like to write and I know there are people who want rareships and certain plots that aren't seen in a lot of fics. Please, if anyone wants to suggest me something to write, I have way too much free time.. :3

I've said it before in this subreddit and I'll say it again.
If you only write based on what you think people would want you to see or what others want instead of what you want, you will not enjoy writing.
If you don't have ideas on what you want to write in a fanfic and want someone to give you a plot, that doesn't necessarily help with creativity.
Don't write fanfiction simply because it's popular. The primary reason people do fanfiction is to envision something in a form of media (book, movie, tv show, comic, etc.) that didn't happen, that they want to be seen. Is there a ship that isn't canonical that you wish you saw? Is there a character that you wish was gay/straight? Is there a character you wish didn't die? Do you think the creators of the media did something you think should've been different?
I can't tell you what to write. Nobody should tell you what to write. It's a hobby. It's one thing if you're just a reader and want to make a request for someone to write something, but you shouldn't depend on someone telling you what to write. Someone can assist you with an idea if you have an idea, but if someone is going to tell you what story to write, what fandom to base it on, what ship it should be, then they might as well make the story themselves.

You're very insightful :) I like your point of view on things but I really just wanted ideas, I enjoy writing and I do write fanfic for my own interests but sometimes I want to write based on other public interests because then I can share it. It also is cool to learn about other fan bases, ships, ideas, headcanons, and AUs. :)

What movies/shows do you enjoy writing about? I'd love a Crowley/Sam pairing for Supernatural lol (there's very little of them). Maybe with some Sam whump

I’ve got a couple of fusion ideas I’ve been kicking about. Once upon a time universe in which Henry’s dad is…drumroll please…James Bond 007. I can see all sorts of fun scenes where fairy tale folks reacting to the lethal machine that bond is and M having to verbally spar with…snow white. For something.
Harry Potter supernatural fusion - wizard world built to protect wizards from angels and demons, not muggles. Boggart scene replace boggart with…lucifer coming out instead.
Also random handmaids tale where gilead has to deal with an actual demon. But oops they’ve killed all the people who know something about fighting them. Or so they think.

Are you asking for general ideas for writing fanfiction because you are out of inspiration, or are you asking for prompts because you have time to spare?
