Dear Yuletide Author! (2013 Edition)
First off, you're awesome. Like, seriously awesome. Like, there haven't been words invented yet to sufficiently and accurately describe your awesomeness. No matter what you do, I will love it. I. Will. Love. It.
If you want to get a feel for the kind of stuff I write (which is basically the kind of stuff I like to read), here's my Fic Masterlist. In general, I like character insight, vivid imagery, and wordplay. Porn is awesome, but I like it best when it does something for the characters. If you wanted to write porn, don't feel like you have to hold back. I'm extremely sex-positive and kink-friendly. (No scat or mpreg, though. Those are the only things I really can't get into.)
To repeat the signups for emphasis: Optional means optional. I'm trying to give you a couple of guidelines if you want them, but if your mind runs somewhere else entirely? Go for it, man! You write me anything for any of the fandoms I've requested, and I'll think you're a goddamned rock star.
Onto the requests! These are listed in the order of my signup, not in order of preference. I have no preference. Write me ANY of these things, and I will be unspeakably thrilled. I tried to be spoiler-free, unless you already know what you're looking at. The majority of my fandoms this year are comedies, but they all have real issues and real heart at their core, so don't feel like you have to be funny if you'd rather write angst, or vice-versa. Don't feel limited by any perceived genre restrictions!
21 Jump Street (2012)
Since this movie was released on DVD, I think it has been out of my DVD player maybe twice. I watch it constantly and love it in a completely consuming and irrational fashion. I have made myself a potassium nitrate hoodie, I mean, I'm really into this movie, is what I'm saying. It is a love letter to the original source, an excellent homage, an unexpectedly satisfying sequel, and a pretty sweet action comedy all at the same time. I adore it, and can only hope that Richard Grieco plays the college dean in the sequel.
Anyway, the requests. I am way into the pairing of Jenko and Zack, whether as BroTP or OTP, and if you wanted to write me some high school science bros, I would pretty much love you forever. Slash is wonderful wonderful wonderful, and awkward "teenage" size-kinky sex would be perfection. I'll also take feelings, whether bro or romantic in nature, oh god, Jenko/Zack all the time.
If that's not your bag, no worries! Because this movie contains my favorite BroTP of all time, Jenko and Schmidt! More of them doing basically anything would be awesome. Case-fic? Do it. Sequel to the movie? Do it. Them in high school (the first time)? Go for it. Them in the police academy? Yes, please. Them just fucking around getting high or whatever? I will read a hundred thousand words of it. You want to write slash? Fuck yes. Basically anything with these two is fair game and awesome.
Captain Dickson is also awesome, all the time. And he worked his ass off to be the captain. And sometimes he gets angry. So suck a dick! Tell me more about him. :D

Oh my god if you are writing this for me, you HAVE to let me know who you are on tumblr or whatever so I can flail at you about how much I love this fucking show. There are FAR too few of us flailing over this shit, and it is seriously flail-worthy. Ty is my not-so-secret favorite, and anything, anything you write me about him is something I will love. My poor, tortured icebox. :( Anders is also a favorite, natch, since he's basically Barney Stinson with the literal powers of a god. Also, everyone on this show is really, really ridiculously good-looking. Dawn! Dawn, my long-suffering love, my Pepper Potts without access to near-infinite amounts of money, oh god, I love her so much. Basically anything about the three of them, and especially their relationships to each other, would make me seal clap in joy. And yes, you can porn about any or all of them. Oh god, the three of them would be such a gorgeous disaster together, can you even imagine? So obvs incest is fine.
Alternatively, Ingrid! I fucking love Ingrid. Everyone thinks she's so eccentric and flighty and really she's got her shit together more than just about anybody else. I love that she's got this wacky shell surrounding a very competent core, and basically just want more of her doing anything at all. Or anyone. Giggity.
The World's End (2013)
This movie. Okay, maybe it wasn't the best movie ever, but it hit me completely sideways and close to home in a way I wasn't expecting. Never really thought I'd go home from a Simon Pegg movie and cry for an hour, but there you go. 0_o Goddamn. So what I'm really looking for here is relationship fic (friendship is a relationship, too) between Gary and Andy. I feel like the movie (by necessity) sped over a lot of their development, and I want to see more of it. How exactly did they get from best friends to bitter strangers to reluctant partners to bros to estranged best friends again? The movie gave us the broad strokes, but I'd love to see some of the lines filled back in. Teenage fic and future fic are both totally welcome, as well as fic occurring within the events of the film. Don't be afraid to go dark, as many of the things these two have been through have been extremely dark and intense. And don't be afraid to involve the rest of the crew as well. I know I didn't list them, but I love everyone in this movie.
I also have to confess that, when I saw this movie, for the first time ever I had to take a minute to consider the stealth hotness of Paddy Considine. More Steven/Sam, please, and if you wanted to do something with the delusional charisma of Gary King in all that, I would love it. Any time period is awesome.

Ugh. The show that fucking broke everyone who watched it. Ugh, it was so good and so upsetting and oh my god. But! I would rather not have upsetting fic for this fandom. I want crazy Ragnar/Aethelstan porn, and crazy Ragnar/Lagertha porn, and crazy Lagertha/Aethelstan porn, and OF COURSE I want some crazy Ragnar/Lagertha/Aethelstan porn. D/s, femdom, sadism, masochism, perversion of religious imagery, dub-con, unsafe sex... like, anything but scat and mpreg and I'm there. Anything. As long as it's Ragnar and/or Lagertha just topping the fuck out of Aethelstan, and Aethelstan being enthusiastically (if reluctantly) into it, oh man, I am there. If you don't want to be explicit about it, I will also enjoy any/all of these things in a more general relationship sense.
Don't want to write porn, or want to write porn about someone else? Floki. Floki is one of my favorite characters in anything ever. Equal parts mysterious and ridiculous, hyper-competent, possibly magical, high all the time, sexy as hell... yeah, I want more Floki. Whatever he's doing is awesome. I ship Floki/everyone, including the boat. Maybe especially the boat.
I hope something up there struck your fancy. If not, then that's totally fine! Write me the story that you want to read! That you want to write! Like I said, you write me anything for any of these fandoms, and I'll think you're a goddamned rock star. :D
Happy writing!
