Dear Yuletide Writer
First of all, thank you for volunteering for this crazy project that led you here. This is my first year joining in, and I'm ridiculously excited about the whole thing, not the least of which is the part here.
Just a quick run-down on stuff; I'm fairly easy to please and I don't have a lot of absolutely-do-nots; gen, het, and slash are all good, kink is okay, I'm very sex-positive, so whatever the characters are feeling are fine with me. Please no mpreg, character death, or hating on people.
And this year, these are the worlds I love:
Diane Duane - Young Wizards: Tom Swayle/Carl Romeo
This pairing is one of the things I love dearly about this series, and one of the few reasons I wish it wasn't a YA series. One of my happiest con memories is sitting with Diane Duane for an hour talking about the books, and when she confirmed the existence of this relationship for me, I was delirious with joy. I would adore it if you wrote me something a little racier than appropriate for a YA novel, though it doesn't have to be porn. Younger Tom and Carl doing fieldwork would also be amazing. Really - whatever the Powers give you, I would love.
Guy Gavriel Kay - Tigana: Brandin/Dianora
The first time I read this book, they made me cry. I love them and I want them to be happy, because damn it, they deserve it. That said, anything you're moved to do for them is wonderful; after the book would be even better.
Diana Wynne Jones - Chronicles of Chrestomanci: Any
I'm totally brand new to this fandom, so anything will do. Really. Go crazy. If there's a Chrestomanci fic you've always wanted to write, this is totally your shining opportunity.
Babylon 5 - Alfred Bester
I have to admit, I think poor Bester got a bad rap. Yeah, he thinks he's all that and a bag of chips; well, in his world, he is. I totally think if B5 was coming out today, there'd be a spin-off police procedural show involving psi cops. I'd watch it. Anyway, what I'd really like to see is Bester at home, spending time with his friends/family/whatever. He's not a heartless bastard, he just thinks non-telepaths are inferior. Give me some of that non-heartless stuff. He's married, has a daughter, fell in love with Carolyn - anything with them would be amazing. If you're not into Bester, I would love to have a life-among-the-telepaths sort of piece.
Again, thank you!!
