What I want to see more of as far as fanfics go are stories that take place after you get married. It's rare to see that in fanfiction. Most of the fics I see are the times people spend chasing after their girl or guy. Many of them finish after the wedding. I admit, I am guilty of this too. But I do have a few fics that take place or continue on after the wedding. Not long after, but you get the point.
One of the fics I want to write has more to do with the main character raising his child than chasing the girls. The first few chapters will be about falling in love with his mate, but the vast majority will be about the family, not the girl.
Even though I ask for this, I am pretty scared of what people might write about. Last time I read someone's Harvest Moon fic on Fanfiction.net; it scarred me for life. Seriously, I wish people would keep their horror stories for Halloween, not casual fanfare. I know I myself go a bit off "Harvest Moon", but I try to keep the damage to the minimum.
So I ask the forum, what type of fics would you love to see more of?

I'd like to see less stuff that focuses on player character/marriage candidate. It makes up about 99% of the fanfics. It's not bad, but after a while, the summaries all start to sound the same. I'd like to see more stuff focusing on rival pairings or on non-canon pairings. You know, mix things up a bit. Just because Ann/Cliff is canon doesn't mean you can't pair Ann with Kai or the Doctor or something. Or pair the player character with all those regular villagers we love, but can't marry.

I'll probably look into some of this. I can already see a few things I could play with.
I'd like to see less romance. I know that it's about the only thing one can do with a Harvest Moon fanfic, but it's so thoroughly done to death that I don't even bother checking FF.net for new stories anymore...

I try to make some fics that don't revolve around romance, and work into the other things that make Harvest Moon. Things like: Family Sports (horse racing in particular) Friendship Hurt/comfort Holidays/festivals |

When I was first posting A Job Well Done I wasn't sure how to summarize the plot, so I looked at other stories to get an idea of what to write. Everything was "How will Lillian choose between Ash and Cam?".
...Then i saw a murder-mystery!
