Dear Yuletide Author 2015
I love you. I honestly do. You are an awesome person who makes awesome stuff, and I can't wait to read it! Anything you do, I will love. I guarantee 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. If you want to see my unfiltered id, here's my Tumblr.
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 want 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, but just in case I've put each fandom behind its own cut tag, and Crimson Peak is allllllll the way at the bottom, since it's so new. Will that help? I dunno, but I'm trying.
Now... the fandoms!
Spy (2015)
Oh my god, this movie! What is better than awesome lady spies? I submit that there is nothing. I want all of the Susan and Nancy friendship fic (and if you wanted to do femslash oh my god, PLEASE feel free), both before and after the movie. What was the academy like? What did they do with all that beef jerky and champagne Nancy stole from 50 Cent? What did Nancy think of the Hunger Games, oh man, please tell me anything.
I would also like more of the toxic masculinity broship of Ford and Fine, particularly the overspecific prompt of the two of them having to go undercover as a couple FOR SOME REASON. We all know how Ford commits to his roles, so it's bound to be a disaster. A sexy disaster? No, probably the regular kind but I still wanna see it!
Also, if you wanted to roll a bunch of that up into one fic with all four of them, that would be so amazing I can't even deal.
Hamilton - Miranda
I've been fascinated by Alexander Hamilton since I was in high school, to the point where it has actually threatened my RL relationships. I'm also an actor with a focus on musical theatre, and a rap enthusiast, and so basically what LMM has created is the most perfect intersection of my interests that I have ever encountered. And I'm SO PSYCHED that there are so many other people on this trolley with me! If you are writing this, you are already a brave and bold person and I want you to run with that. Canon is flexible (who tells your story?), and experimentation of all kinds is welcome. My dream is to read my very first and all time OT3, Hamilton/Laurens/Lafayette, which the show has so obligingly made even easier to work with than the original records (which TBH are pretty easy to work with, too, especially on the Hamilton/Laurens level. Me-OW!). If that doesn't speak to you, I'm also ride or die for Hamilton/Eliza/Angelica, in both an emotional and a physical sense. But honestly? Honestly? You could write me just about anything about just about anyone and I would be 100% into it.
Penny Dreadful (TV)
ETHAN. Ethan, my precious bisexual werewolf bb! Anything about our Mr. Chandler is something I am interested in, whether it's his past in America, his romantic relationships with... anyone really, his friendship with Sembene. SEMBENE! You deserved better than what you got! Author, if you agree with me and want to write a canon-AU about Sembene, I'm pretty sure you'd be my new best friend. I would LOVE that. Also, Lily Frankenstein. I want an entire spin-off show about my beautiful undead murder machine. Really for this fandom I want character fic. The show didn't get as far into most of its characters as I wish it would have, and I yearn for more depth. But I'm also down for pretty much any pairing (m/m, m/f, f/f, multi) if you want to porn it up, as the show often does. :D
Jupiter Ascending (2015)
Full disclosure: I saw this movie twenty times in theaters. Since I obtained the blu-ray, my view count is well over thirty. As such, I've passed thinking about all the more obvious stuff and have basically come to the conclusion that I need to know more about Chicanery Night and everything he does and how he got to where he is and how he deals with that fact. I know the fanon is that he's an alcoholic, and I don't entirely buy it (though I'm sure he does enjoy a drink at the end of a long day). There must be something else at play, whether it's pride, or obligation, or fear, or some kind of inherent submissive need to serve. I don't think it's for the health and partial dental coverage, is what I'm saying. Get inside his head and make it as twisty as you like. Balem/Mr. Night welcome at whatever level of requitedness or explicitness. D/s welcomed and encouraged.
Alternatively, Famulus is a boss bitch and I love her. She doesn't so much serve Titus as she is his partner-in-crime, and I'd love to see more of her being the cleverest person in the room, splice status be damned. Pre-canon, post-canon, it's all good.
If you wanted to write a sort of crack-y "stitch and bitch" kind of thing, where Mr. Night, Famulus, and Maledictus all get together and commiserate about the Abrasax sibs. Or like an intergalactic Junior Ganymede Club. Haha, oh my god, I would love you forever. <3
Crimson Peak (2015)
I want a happy ending. And this isn't to say that the way the movie actually ended wasn't happy - Edith got to be Mary Shelley, just like she wanted, and even got her novel published. You can write me more about that, if you like. Whatever your idea of a happy ending for this movie would be. Maybe Edith is single and independent for the rest of her life. Maybe she and Alan end up together. Maybe Thomas was able to be saved, or maybe Lucille was willing to share him, and maybe all three of them managed to escape. Maybe they even learned to love each other equally. Or maybe the house gets a happy ending, with Thomas and Lucille now bound to it forever. Maybe it ensnares a new owner, and is restored to its former glory. Whatever a happy ending means to you, that is the thing I want.
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! That's the story I really want to read, anyway. :D
Happy writing!
