Dear Yuletide Author
My dear Yuletide Writer,
Thank you for writing for me! I'm very excited about all the fandoms I requested. You have great taste for offering one of them. :)
I have a very broad range of enjoyment when it comes to stories. I like slash, het and gen. I'm into reading explicit sex if you're into writing it, but all ratings are good. I love relationship stories that show the deepening sense of intimacy between two people, whether it's a romance or a friendship. I also adore plotty stories, casefiles, action/adventure, future fic, backstory, and my great love for fan fiction cliches never dies! I don't mind some angst in a story, especially if the source material really calls for it, but I do appreciate when a story ends on a hopeful note.
A few things I'm not really into are: Non-con (although I don't mind dub con), crossovers, and graphic violence.
Woman on the Edge of Time, Connie, Bee, Jackrabbit, Luciente (or really any characters)
This is one of my favorite books, and I'd be thrilled to get any story set in this universe. I'd love to see Connie become more involved with the people of the future or read a missing scene of life in Mattapoisett. I'd be happy with gen or if you'd like to write an erotic story, I'm always good with that. I've wondered what it would have been like if Connie had taken Jackrabbit up on his flirtation. Actually, I'd love to read any permutation of Connie, Bee, Jackrabbit and Luciente. All the characters in this universe are awesome, so please feel free to include any that you wish. Really, anything you want to explore will make my day.
Haven, Audrey Parker, Nathan Wuornos, Duke Crocker
This is a show I look forward to every week, and there are so many different kinds of stories I'd enjoy reading. A resolution of the big issue in S4. A casefile set anywhere in the timeline that has Nathan, Audrey and Duke working together. Something romantic and relationship focused. I enjoy any combination of the characters but tend most toward OT3 or Duke/Nathan. I'm intrigued by the show's mythology and the glimpses we get of Audrey's origins, and I'd love to read a take on that. I'd also enjoy future fic that shows life after the Troubles. The one thing I'd prefer not to see is a complete AU since the world of Haven is so interesting and shapes the characters so much.
Ripper Street, Edmund Reid, Homer Jackson
I find the relationship between these two completely fascinating. It's hard for me to resist the upright man of the law and the shady neer-do-well finding common ground, working together and coming to respect one another. I would happily read slash, but if that isn't your cup of tea, I would equally as happily read about their working relationship or burgeoning friendship. If you like to write casefiles, I'd adore one of those. Or perhaps one of the men has to help the other out of a jam. Or there's some awkward advice asking about personal matters. Really, anything that portrays the connection between these two will be awesome.
Sense and Sensibility (1995), Margaret Dashwood
I rewatched this movie recently and was struck by how winning young Margaret is (a rather different characterization than in the book). I would love future fic that follows her adventures. What is she like as a young woman? Does she ever get to see the Nile? If you want to write the story of Margaret finding love as her sisters did before her, that would be lovely. If writing future fic isn't really your thing, then Margaret's take on the events of the movie would also be delightful.
L.A. Confidential, Bud White, Ed Exley
These two never stop being hot no matter how many times I watch the movie. If you're into writing slash, I would love slash for them, and if filthy, dirty porn is your thing, hey, it's my thing too. I've always thought Lynn saying "Fucking me and fucking Bud White aren't the same thing" is one of the most deliciously provocative lines ever, and if you'd like to do something with that, awesome. However, if you're not comfortable writing Ed and Bud in a sexual relationship, I would also love a portrayal of their working relationship and growing friendship. I'd adore future fic where they're reunited to work a case together or a missing scene from the movie that sheds light on their respective personalities and what draws them together.
Elementary, Joan Watson, Sherlock Holmes
I'd adore a Joan-centric story and especially one that shows her really coming into her own as a detective. Maybe she notices something that Sherlock missed or uses her knowledge as a doctor to solve a case. Or if you're not into writing casefiles, I'd love insight into Joan's thoughts about her change of career, how she feels about being a detective, where she imagines the future taking her. I also love the relationship between Joan and Sherlock, and if you'd like to focus on it, that would be awesome as well. While I hope the show always keeps things platonic between them, I'm open to a bit of romance in fanfic.
ETA: I forgot the most important thing of all! Which is that my suggestions are just that...suggestions. Write the story that makes you happy, and I'm sure it will make me happy too.
