bofoddityDear Santa/Yulegoat/Yuletide Participant Who's Writing For Me,
First, thanks for coming along for the ride. Yuletide tends to be the fannish highlight of the year to me, and I hope that it will be same for you, and that you're feeling excited and good right now. I'm also glad you chose to write in fandoms that led you to me. Hope you feel the same about my requests!
To start off with general things about my tastes, I tend to be a gen person, though as you noticed I'm far from being immune to shipping. My favorite kind of fic is character-driven, and the deeper the story goes into what makes the character who and what they are, the more I bounce with glee. I like tension of all kinds (UST in ship fic is very delicious to me), especially that between rivals and enemies, and intensity in general is a must for me in relationships, whether they're platonic or shippy. I enjoy darkfic, especially when it's creepy and subtle, though I also have a thing for apocalyptic scenarios. None of this means I don't like fluff and comedy as well, though with the former I prefer the bittersweet kind. My dislikes include characters going on angst overdose, overdone smugness of dastardly characters and dismissive/belittling/generally assholish behavior being seen as romantic. My squick tolerance is high, but I have none for Rape Is Love-trope.
I tried to keep the restrictiveness down in my requests, and you have all the right to interpret them as freely as you like, but in case you want more, here are few notes.
Harper's Island: I came to Harper's Island for a murder mystery, stayed for Cal and Chloe. I thought the sweetness of their relationship (and of the characters) was a perfect counterweight to the carnage of the island, and an old-fashioned get-together fic for them would be an awesome gift. Absolutely anything about the two of them goes, though, from an AU in which they survive to a threesome with Sully.
Other than Cal/Chloe, I'm also interested in any kind of fic about the lives of the characters before the murders. Did Henry ever really love Trish? Just how dysfunctional was the Wellington-family? Whatever you come up with, it's fine by me.
The Tudors: Anne and Thomas were the main attractions in the show to me, and I loved how the screen sizzled whenever they happened to be on it at the same time. Whether it's just a moment or a long battle of wills, the two of them sizzling on-screen again is my fondest wish for this fandom. Anything about the two of them individually goes too (both of them vs. power, Anne vs. society's expectations, Thomas vs. religion for theme examples) or with other characters, especially if it's Henry.
Secret Six: It's a little hard for me to give more specifics about this one since I'm literally up for anything, from team gen in which they go to the movies to.. well, right now I can't think of any limits. Jeannette (Jeannette and Deadshot meet dysfunctional fluff?) and Scandal (Scandal and Bane meet dysfunctional family fluff?) are my favorite characters, so anything with them is a go, on top of which I like Catman/Deadshot a lot. Other characters from DC universe are welcome to make appearances and all.
The Sarah Connor Chronicles: I thought the Cromartie/John Henry vs. humanity was one of the more interesting aspects of the show, and Ellison's involvement only added to my interest. Gen fic in which we see humanity and Ellison from John Henry's POV and vice versa would be great, especially with Weaver family dynamic added in. The Connor family is also very welcome to make an appearance, Cameron included.
All details are optional, and aside from the fandoms and the characters themselves being present everything is up to your interpretations. Whatever you're comfortable with and are happy to write about is fine by me, and if an idea comes along that you just have to write then by all means go for it! Keep your stress to the minimum, let your ideas flow and yourself to have fun. Happy Yuletide and Happy Holidays!
