Dear Yuletide Author
Nov. 13th, 2010 10:29 amDear Yuletide Author,
First of all, thank you in advance! I know I'm going to love anything you write for me this year. Feel free to work as the inspiration strikes you. However, if you would like some ideas into what I like most, read on!
I'm not particularly easy to squick and I don't have any triggers to speak of. I don't care for Mpreg and I'm rather picky about incest, but I'll read both if it looks like it's well done (or crack-fic!humorous and meant not to be taken seriously). I dislike character-bashing and seeing a strong female character victimized/bitchified just for the hell of it. Other than that...
I prefer gen, because it is SO HARD to find sometimes. I like slash, and I like het, but if you're going the romance route I'd love to see slash, as well written het fic is sometimes easier to find, especially in a couple of my fandoms. I love seeing glimpses of Real World in fic - The Ninja Turtles acting like regular teenagers who just happen to be ninjas, Frank and Joe Hardy complaining about school and getting on each other's nerves sometimes, Cutter wondering why all the crazy elves are in his tribe. I love plot, I love character interaction, I love fluffy and I love smutty.
Specifics!
Ninja Turtles: Donatello is my all-time favorite! I love seeing him interact with his brothers, especially Raph. I don't have a particular preference for setting or timeline. I'd like to see him being the protective one, if possible, as he's usually the one the others are looking out for in fanfic. I love all the characters in this show, though Karai is a character I love for her weaknesses more than her strengths, if that makes sense.
ElfQuest: Dude, ANYTHING. Seriously. ANYTHING. I love Cutter/Skywise and Cutter/Skywise/Leetah, in a romantic or gen way. I'd really, really like to see an alternate timeline where the Ten Thousand Years jump didn't happen, or where Skywise wasn't taken with the others. Maybe another version of how Skywise lost his wolf blood. I love Skywise interacting with Suntop as well.
Hardy Boys: Frank and Joe being brothers! Something case-related is always fun, but I would love, love, love to see them being normal WHILE being super sleuths. I like them interacting as brothers and normal teenagers, being obnoxious, getting on each other's nerves, yet still being such a strong team. I like the girls, too, but I'd really love for the focus to be on the brothers and their relationship to each other.
World War Z: Any character from the books, any original character! Feel free to cross WWZ over with any fandom I like: My user profile has a good list as does My FF.net page. I love survival porn, the realities of living in a zombie apocalypse. I'm flexible. I love zombies.
So, to summarize: Thank you! And I'll love anything you give me, so please have fun!
