Dear Yuletide Author
Nov. 11th, 2008 04:01 pmHi! Yuletide is absolutely hands down one of my very favorite fandom things - it may even be one of my very favorite things, period. So, thank you so much for playing, and also for offering one of these four things that I am so excited about and yet don't get to see very often (or in one case, at all)! I hope writing this story is as much fun for you as reading it will be for me.
I gave a fair amount of detail in the requests themselves, but basically I love long, plotty things and also short character vignettes. I'm generally okay with any variety of slash/het/femmeslash/poly/gen/kink, and any smutness level as well. The only thing I don't categorically like is character bashing - these are all fandoms in which I'm fond of everyone involved - although poking fun is always appreciated. I can go for sweet (though I prefer a little edge in there to keep things from getting saccharine), and angst is fine too. I like humor and drama melded together to give spice/leaven to each other.
My requests:
1. RPF - Doctor Who (new series) [David Tennant/John Barrowman]
Okay, I'm going to the special hell! I'd really like RPF that involves the show itself, either making or watching it - the boys are both fans of their own product, so I love to see that. (This could be either Who or Torchwood) Slash or gen or whatever. Nothing completely fluffy or too unrealistic, please; some acknowledgement of other partners necessary in slash, but doesn't need to be the focus. Any/all appearances by other colleagues on Who or Torchwood (actors/writers) treasured and much appreciated as well!
2. Merlin UK (tv) [Arthur Pendragon/Guinevere aka Gwen/Lancelot/Merlin]
A future fic would be awesome, where the characters are all in their appointed places and relationships according to legend, and yet with the backstory that we see from the show. Any combination of Slash/Het/Poly/Gen. I'd have included Morgana and Mordred in the mix, but this only lets you select four - so really any/all of them would be great.
3. Georgette Heyer - Frederica
What I would really like is a sequel to the novel; and I've always wanted a crossover so that Jessamy Merriville and Aubrey Lanyon from "Venetia" can meet. slash or gen, and I love the tonal quality of the novel. Please don't break up any canon ships, if you can help it - I adore them all - and would love to see more of them if it suits you.
4. Marion Zimmer Bradley - The Catch Trap [Mario Santelli/Stella Gardner/Suzy Santelli/Tommy Zane]
4. The rarest of my rare fandoms. If you know it, then you get several bouquets! I'd love a sequel to the novel - how does it go after with the Flying Santellis? And I always wanted to know how Suzy Santelli worked out. And I love all the technical flying stuff - so more of that would be great. And again, heavily invested in canon ships, so no breakups if you don't mind.
These details are, as always, just intimations. Please do write whatever inspires you - I am already thrilled just to be receiving something in these fandoms. If you're pleased by it, I'm positive I will be too.
Thank you so much and happy writing! I can't wait to see what you come up with.
