There is a yearning in my soul

If I ran a Lin Beifong fic exchange, or fest, or something, would people sign up and participate?
I require fic, y'see, about all kinds of things, and the AO3 is ... well, it's either fic where she's tagged as a character but is actually on the sidelines giving advice to Korra and whoever the author wants Korra's love interest to be, or it's yet another story about her growing up. Which I find either heartwarming but same-ish, or kind of unsettled by how authors think it's really hilarious that Toph engages in what is basically abusive behaviour?
I should say, I'm not opposed to childhood fics on principle -- indeed, I wrote one, handwrote the whole thing in a notebook, which promptly vanished and hasn't been seen for a full year -- but they get a bit repetitive. And there are so many otherpeople things Lin could be doing.
(FF.net is pretty much the same, but with more Pema-bashing.)
Beinglazy busy, I'm thinking something low-key, where prompts are posted, then claimed, then fic/art/whatever is posted on a particular date or in a particular week, and drop-outs are hunted down and murdered publicly shamed experience a moment of regret while I stare pointedly at their username with an expression of unspeakable disappointment.
