Dear Mighty Ducks exchange writer,

Thank you for writing for me! I’ve included some thoughts below on my preferences and fandoms.

I’ve given some specific prompts, but feel to take a general theme from my general likes if that’s more inspiring!

Charlie Conway

There is so much that I love about Charlie--I love how loyal and determined he is. I love that he's the heart of the Ducks, the one that keeps the team and people together. I'd love to what happens to Charlie in the future--does he keep playing hockey (professionally, as a college athlete, rec adult leagues) as he gets older? How does he channel all that passion as the Ducks move on with their lives? I'd also love to see him interacting with the Ducks down the road--maybe some reunion hijinks? 

As an optional pairing, I would love to see Charlie and Adam getting together. Maybe it's while they're still on the Ducks and they have to navigate that. Maybe it's further down the line, with one or both of them playing hockey professionally. Maybe Adam and Charlie fall out over the years and get a chance to reconnect.


Adam Banks

I love just how awkward Adam is and how, despite how good he is at hockey, he's always somewhat on the periphery. I'd love to see Adam get to bloom and grow into a more confident version of himself--be it with the Ducks or further down the line as he's figuring out how to be an adult. I'd love to see Adam play at a high level, be it in college, the minor leagues or the major leagues. I'd love to see him have good things in his life (but am very happy to have some angst before he gets there).

As an optional pairing, I would love to see Charlie and Adam getting together (see the Charlie section for a little more information).

Julie Gaffney

I love how incredibly determined and confident Julie is and I want to see her get ALL the success! I'd love to see her playing hockey further down the line (maybe on the national team? or at an Olympics?). I also think that she'd be a great coach. How does she grow and change after her time with the Ducks.

As an optional pairing, I would love to see Julie and Connie connecting and getting together. They're both such forces of nature--I would love to see Julie's intensity coming up against Connie's determination. Maybe they stay in touch and reconnect later as adults, maybe they end up going to college together. Maybe it happens while they're on the Ducks together!
