Dear Yuletide Writer!
dear my lovely 
yuletide writer!!
first and foremost, anything you write will be fantastic. also, i know i requested kind of random and obscure things. don't feel bad or obligated to write what i suggest. it's just an idea. and for the record, i'm just keeping the karin slaughter request alive year after year - don't feel bad if you can't/don't want to write it.
second, i like the dark and twisted, so it doesn't have to be a happy ending. however, if you're feeling the spirit of the holiday, go right ahead! (but i really like twisted stuff.)
feel free to ask
fox1013, iamsab, and/or girlboymusic to find out anything you need to know about me. :) and i'm pretty much all about friendship here.
and on to the requests!
Request: Markus Zusak - The Book Thief
Character: Death
death is one of my favorite narrators ever. i absolutely adore this book and recommend it to so many people, but i feel like this book is so complete and perfect, that i would love to see death deal with a different situation. the armenian genocide? rwanda? OR you could play cross-over fairy here, and have someone die in another fandom. but death POV is essential here, and zusak's specific death with his strange devotion to humans.
i wish i could write this story, but i have tried, and i can't get death's voice right. (i'm far too cynical and snarky. this death *likes* humanity!) so really, anything you do here would make me happy. i love this character, so much. i want more, i have wanted more, ever since i read the book - death was my favorite. i felt for him so much, having to do this job he didn't really ask for, trying to stay distant because everyone goes away. oh, what heartbreak! really, ANYTHING death POV here would make me happy happy.
Request: Karin Slaughter - Grant County series
Characters: Any
i request this every year, and i will continue to request it. i love this series - the backstory, the relationships, the violence, the fact that she doesn't shy away from horrible things happening. lena, tessa, and sara are my favorites, but i love the idea of contrasting the sisters before the series starts - and exploring why sara doesn't like lena so much. will is awesome also (though no angie please!) and if you want to work with "undone", it might be cool to see what's happening back in grant county while sara's away. but seriously, anything here would make me sooo happy.
really, anything. i love the girls. even if you want to explore life back with nell and possum, or focus in atlanta, or backstory on ANYONE . . . man, yeah. but i know that no one offered to write it this year, so no pressure. ;)
Request: thirtysomething
Characters: Ellyn Warren/Hope Steadman/Melissa Steadman/Nancy Weston
i'd also love a story with susannah. i love susannah - i would be susannah in this group of people. but nancy's my all-time favorite, i think, and melissa and hope and ellyn are just so perfect . . . i would love a story where hope is legitimately psychologically in trouble (so. many. possibilities!) or dealing with the fact that janey doesn't talk and is, say, autistic. or just the women talking about hope's holiday kink. ANYTHING. i love them. but i love nancy the best.
you don't understand how much i love this series. you just don't. i actually could NOT stop crying after watching gary's funeral. like, it was just so. damn. perfect. and it was partly so perfect because of nancy. i LOVE NANCY WESTON. you have no idea how much. but i also love ellyn and melissa and want them in my family. and hope's the crazy aunt you have to put up with that doesn't let you in the kitchen at the holidays because you can't slice the potatoes thin enough. and susannah - oh, how i relate to susannah. susannah story after we see her leave for new york. susannah and possibly melissa? again, YOU CAN DO NO WRONG.
Request: Once and Again
Characters: Grace/Jessie/Judy/Karen
i would be happy with anything but rick/lily, to be honest. i love grace, and i love jessie, and i love karen sammler like i love nancy weston, which is to say a LOT. and judy! aunt judy is so awesome. i like the "discarded" spouses better - jake and tiffany, karen and her depression. a story from aaron's POV might be totally awesome too. (clearly, i love the psychological.) i think grace acts like a middle child which is interesting because she wasn't - so why? i love jessie because she spoke up and went to therapy, and karen because she insisted that jessie go. oh, this show!
i can't stop thinking about grace and judy and karen. karen is amazing. my karen love is much like my nancy weston love (shocker, right?). grace and her post-adolescence, grace and her awkwardness, grace and eli, grace dealing with her mother that is all about her . . . and her younger, cuter, sassier sister zoey, and then jessie . . . man. and i love jessie. everything about her. i would love a friendship story between judy and karen. you can do NO WRONG HERE EITHER!
basically, i am happy with anything you write!however, if you do decide to throw in psychological stuff, i really, really, ask that you get a good beta for that. it's my pet peeve. but sending people to therapy is like a major kink of mine, but please be careful if you decide to do that. (anyone can use a good therapy session!) also, i love canon. i love stories that work within canon, add to canon, etc. i would love it if you didn't go all AU on me - though if you really wanted to, go free!
