See, I am a dirty dirty defaulter and deserve nothing but I got something anyway! Hooray! I promise to write many NYR so I can actually participate next year - hopefully somewhere with a computer and an internet connection. Fail me.
Anyway, because bad behaviour gets rewarded, I got an AMAZING Sports Night fic called Machiavellian Mistletoe which involves banter, kisses and pants.
Firsty, thank you for being made of awesome and signing up! This is my first year participating in Yuletide but I have loved it from afar for a long time and now I get to participate! Whee!
On to the business stuff.
General stuff: I'm not particularly squeamish so if you really want to go to porntown, I will be on that bus with you. I guess the things I don't really like reading about porn-wise - non-con, bloodplay, necrophilia, bestiality.
1. Bringing Up Baby aka my most favourite film of all time omg. My request details were: "Any. I love all the relationships in this film so anything that explores that is great. Het, gen, slash, femmeslash - any/all is good but bestiality is a big no, thanks."
I'm not trying to intimidate you re: my most favourite film of all time omg but it is and I just love everything about it. Whilst David and Susan are my epic OTP of all time, I really do love all the characters in this and the relationships they have with one another - I am very open to a story that isn't necessarily David/Susan focused. I have a real soft spot for the speed and wittiness of the dialogue so if you want to go that road, that's awesome but I don't expect everyone to be all up on how to script a 1930s screwball comedy.
2. Sarah Waters - The Little Stranger aka creepy house is creepy. My request details were: "Any. I loved the darkness and ambiguity of this book so something that plays off that would be amazing. Het, gen, slash, femmeslash are all good."
I'm a bit of a ditherer when it comes to Sarah Waters i.e. I loved The Night Watch and I was indifferent to nearly everything else. I did really enjoy reading The Little Stranger this year, though. I liked the darkness and the creepy undertones re: everyone's relationship with everyone and the house as the fourth (or fifth) main character. I imagined something gen with quite dark undertones but something OT3 with Faraday/Roddie/Caroline would also be lovely. (p.s. that OT3 doesn't have to be graphic or even fulfilled.)
3: Sports Night aka PARTNERS! My request details were: "Any. Banter, friendship, Casey and Dan's epic bromance etc are all A+++. Anything that evokes the style of the show is great for me."
Much like Bringing Up Baby, I love the relationships that everyone has with everyone in this show. I really love every and all pairings in this show! BANTER BANTER BANTER!
4. James Bond: Casino Royale Universe (2006-) aka GUNS AND ANGST AND FACE CUTS AND BANTER
My request details were: "Any. Het, slash, gen, femslash - anything is a go here."
I have a real love for Daniel Craig's Bond. The hard-arse-ness and the vulnerability play off each other so well. I also love M! LOVE! Yuletide has opened me to the awesome possibilities of M/Bond but I love Vesper and Miss Fields and Camille and Felix and everyone.
I hope this helps! I realise it is pretty much a page of "I LOVE EVERYTHING!" but that is pretty much true for all these fandoms.
Title: another inch of your life sacrificed [Merlin AU] Rating: PG Warnings: swears, very non-explicit sexy times, made up things about the SIS. Disclaimer: Not true, not real. Made up lies about things that don't belong to me. Summary: The problem with working for MI-6, Merlin thinks, is that all your co-workers are bloody spies. Word Count: 1812 A/N: I feel I've dishonoured both Bond and Merlin. Are you happy now, reel_merlin? Well, are you?! Huge thanks and love to the fantastic dear_prudence for the beta and love. *smushes yer face*
Title: didn't meet because of fate but rather probability [Merlin RPF] Rating: R (maybe NC-17) for sexy times. Warnings: RPF, swears, sexy times. Disclaimer: Not true, not real. Made up lies. Summary: Jeremy calls a wrap and Colin's off, smiling politely as people wish him a nice few days off, saying goodbye to everyone and jumping in the car that he has very sensibly organised because he is sensible and reliable, even if he is going on a holiday with the express purpose of fucking with continuity. A/N: I don't even know; I liked it and then I didn't but it seems kind of ok again. I just don't know. ALSO, THERE IS ACTUAL SEX IN THIS ONE. And it was pretty much the most embarrassing thing to write ever. It is the first time I have every written anything with body parts and fluids and what-have-you so please excuse me if it isn't very good. Huge thanks to nixwilliams and johnnypurple for reading, suggesting and hand-holding. And fuckersnaps. How could I forget those?
Title: An Anchor So Sure Rating: PG (I'd guess) Warnings: RPF, swears. Disclaimer: Not true, not real. Made up lies. Summary: He hands Colin a bottle and starts rummaging through Colin's fridge. Colin looks down and blinks. “Bradley, I'm not drinking a bottle of cooking sherry.” Other: I don't know what is with the emo. It just kind of happened whilst writing the EPIC SPAIN fic. Thanks to nixwilliams and johnnypurple for the awesmoe beta and dear_prudence and daniel_bethany for being awesmoe! ILU, Sunday arvo Merlol team.
Title: The One Where Bradley Talks. A Lot. Rating: PG (Fuck, I don't know. There's a lot of swearing and no smut. Make up your own rating.) Warnings: RPF, swears. Disclaimer: Not true, not real. Made up lies. Summary: Bradley never thought there’d be a time in this age of wifi and iPhones and PornoTube where he’d be forced to play ping pong for fun. Other: I don't write fic. This is my first ever RPF, first writing in about 5 years, longest piece of fic I've ever written. Epic win, Merlin. Epic win. Big enormous love to nixwilliams for the beta, yo.
