IT ARE YULETIMES
hey ho fellow yuletider! it's that time again! i am SO EXCITED for this year, are you? yaaaay!
so, to business. i know i gave you, dear author, almost no help at all with these prompts, but i blame the new signup format. change is oh so confusing, please hold my hand. but hey, that's why dear yuletider letters exist, non?
Scott Pilgrim: Scott Pilgrim, Wallace Wells, Kim Pine, Stephen Stills, Multi
honestly, i'm not too terribly fussed about whether you write comic-verse or movie-verse since both of them are awesome, but i enjoy the depth of detail we get in the comics. some ideas: how Sex Bob-omb got together (since Stephen Stills is such a great straight man), if Scott and Wallace have ever done it, what sort of superpower Kim has (and whether she's ever used it on Scott), random shit. also not averse to appearances by Knives Chau (and creepy Mr. Chau), bitchy Julie Powers, Young Neil, Envy Adams and The Clash At Demonhead, pretty much anyone.
Neverwhere - All Media Types: Door, Richard Mayhew, Marquis de Carabas, Anaesthesia, Gen
Richard Mayhew is, and always will be, my favorite. i adore his Arthur Dent-esque awkwardness and his determination and stumbling into situations and eventual hero status (even though he doesn't really want it). i love the Marquis and his slippery anti-hero/almost-villain position. and i love how these two can play off each other. i'd love a good plotty story with plenty of mythical/forgotten London (the old Thames tributaries like the Fleet and the Tyburn really capture my imagination), and i'd love to see Richard as the necessary puzzle piece through no real fault of his own.
Star Wars: X-wing Rogue Squadron (Comic): Wedge Antilles, Tycho Celchu, Wes Janson, Derek Klivian, Multi
wasn't The Phantom Affair gorgeous? (at least until the last instalment.) and the comics are all so well written and the plots and the characters and yeah. they're awesome. you know what i'm talking about. (even if Requiem For A Rogue a: killed Dllr and b: was badly drawn.) i adore the Fab Four, Wedge especially, and i really love the family that is the rest of the Rogues. i love this particular time in Star Wars history, where the Death Star 2.0 has just been blown away, but the Alliance isn't really legitimate yet, and i love what that means for Wedge: he has more responsibility to his people, but isn't being pressured into a generalship. and i also love that he, Tycho, Wes, and Hobbie haven't been separated yet. also, Admiral Ackbar is AWESOME. so yeah, go bloody nuts here.
Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog: Geoffrey Chaucer, Kyng Richard, Phillipa Chaucer, Adam Lynkferste, Humor
ok, this is probably the most hilarious thing i've ever seen on the internet. go absolutely crazy with this. spelling wasn't standardized until what, the early 19th century, so to hell with spellcheck! andwhy would Geoff set up a blog? maybe it was a place to bitch about the Kyng and Phillipa and Litel Lowys, but then he came to enjoy the comments and readers, and it was a handy place to jot down thoughts for his next book. i particularly enjoy the entry spoofing Battlestar Galactica. in short, i would very much like to EL OH EL at this one. really, how does Geoffrey Chaucer deal with internet outages and the Blogspot Terms Of Service?
yes please!
humor. slang used appropriately. female characters. characters of color. both at the same time! banter. books. het, slash, and gen. medieval stuff. alcohol, and the consuming of. unusual formats (if executed well). good dialogue. real life.
no thanks.
over-the-top angst and drama. songfic. crackfic. cheesy dialogue. unrealistic portrayals of life/the universe/everything. honestly, i'm pretty easy, as long as it's believable (and people don't spontaneously burst into song or whatever).
other fandoms i read/write/watch:
U2 RPF. R.E.M. RPF. Star Trek (all but Voyager and Enterprise). Jossverse (including Dr. Horrible, excepting Dollhouse). Due South and C6D. Reservoir Dogs. Harry Potter. Veronica Mars. The West Wing. Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead. Battlestar Galactica (the new one). Doctor Who. Robin Hood (BBC). Black Books. Keen Eddie. Stargate SG-1. Hercules/Xena. Bones. Life On Mars (UK). Ugly Betty. A Knights Tale. the Vorkosigan series. Spaced. Young Wizards.
seriously dudes, i am SO EXCITED and i CAN'T WAIT to get started! i hope this helps you, o esteemed author, and if you don't find it, well, that's ok too. i will be sure to love anything you create, because how awesome is it that we share a teeny fandom! HAPPY YULETIMES!
