yuletide letter
Dear yuletide writer,
First of all, let me start this by saying thank you. I do realize that for the most part my prompts were fairly vague and I do apologize for that. I personally tend to find that in ficathons, the less specific I am, the more I end up enjoying the resulting fics. I've always enjoyed the direction that ficathon authors have taken in the past, so please feel free to take the prompts in whichever direction that you'd like.
Preferences: When it comes to pairings, I prefer het, femslash and gen!fics. As well with genres, I do tend to prefer angst, UST, hurt/comfort and AU (except for the everyone-human AU). In general, I really like strong characterization, scarcastic humor, and fics that explore the characters and their motivations. I also have a fondness for moody/atmospheric pieces that take you to a certain frame of mind.
Dislikes: First Person POV/Second Person POV, PWP, MPREGS, character bashing, incestous pairings, fluff.
Being Erica: Although I'd really love to see a fic focusing on Erica/Cassidy or even one focusing on Erica's relationship with Josh, I'd be equally happy with any fic that deals with what Erica's changed by reliving her regrets. I think that there is so much in this show that we don't get to see, in particular what happens after Erica's changed a regret. We know that what she's changed is what sticks in the now timeline of the show, but it'd be great to see it developed a bit more outside of the whole postcard that Erica received from Cassidy. I am current with this show, so please feel free to write a fic set either in Season One or Two.
Dark Shadows (1991): It has always killed me with the way that this show ended on such a cliffhanger. What happened next is something I'd like to see. How does Victoria react now that she knows the truth about Barnabas? It doesn't really matter which characters you use, I'd just love to see something continue from that cliffhanger.
The Avengers: Emma Peel/John Steed are truly my OTP. You can seriously not go wrong with a fic that involves champagne and these two together, whether it's shippy or not. There truly is not enough fic in this fandom so I'd be delighted with any direction that you took with this.
The Saint: I'd love to see a Emma/Simon fic after the movie ends. I've always personally wondered if these two could make it after everything settles down, but again as long as the piece takes place after the events in the movie, I'd be happy with any direction that you decided to go.
Once again, thank you for taking the time to read this letter and thank you for signing up for Yuletide. I am certain that I will absolutely adore anything that you write for me.
