Yuletide author letter
Hey there Yuletide author,
Ahhh thank you so much for taking on my fic! I'm so excited to see what you do with one of my prompts, and I'm certain I'll love it.
As far as overall preferences, I'm a fan of the following; gen (though this isn't a hard and fast rule; one of my requests is blatantly shippy), character study, back story fic, a balance of humor and angst, black and gray morality, epic platonic bromances, bittersweet endings, and so on. I don't ask for all or even most of that, but hopefully that gives you and idea of the sort of tone I enjoy in fics! Hopefully the following makes things as easy as possible for you!
Once again, thank you!
Request One: Jaane Tu Ya Jaane N
Character(s): Shaleen
Prompt: Shaleen always seemed so much wiser than the rest of her friends. I'd love fic that explores her perspective! Bonus points for working in the director commentary reveal that she's a lesbian. Extra bonus points for bromance fun times with Jiggy. :D
Okay basically tl;dr I loved Shaleen and I really want fic froom her POV. XD She was so calm and collected constantly throughout the maelstrom of drama. How does she deal with all that? Is she as chilled out as she seems? Does she ever get annoyed? Is it ever super awkward? Do people assume she should get with Jiggy now that Aditi/Jai and "Bombs"/Rotlu are both paired off? Do she and Jiggy run off and snark about everyone?
And seriously, seriously: Bonus points for working her being a lesbian into the fic. Does she have a girlfriend? Is she out, or does she keep it on the dl? Do some friends know and others don't? How does that effect friendship group dynamics etc?
Request Two: Hunger Games
Character(s): Katniss/Madge
Prompt: This is sort of difficult to pull off within the books' timeframe, so I'd be happy with all kinds of scenarios; something in between Hunger Games and Catching Fire, AU where Madge lives and she's in District 12 with Katniss at the end, AU where Madge was the one in the arena. Unrequited Madge ---> Katniss could be interesting too.
When I first read HG and CF I came away shipping Katniss/Madge so hard. Their scenes are limited, but something about their vibe was immensely appealing to me. Katniss seems so at east in Madge's presence (not a common thing with Katniss!) and is welcoming of Madge's gestures of friendship. And Madge is such an intriguing character to me, due to the hints that she's at least semi-aware of the rebellion. Anything that explores Madge more in depth will win my instant love and gratitude for all time.
This fic, given the canon material, can definitely be as dark as you feel it needs to be.
Request Three: Ace Attorney Investigations
Character(s): Franziska von Karma
Prompt: Gen fic character study of Franziska would be so awesome. I specifically would love fic that covers the time period between Trials and Tribulations and AAI (or maybe during AAI). What led to her joining Interpol, how she has (and hasn't!) changed as a prosecutor, familial relationship with Edgeworth, meeting Shi-Long Lang etc etc.
Heh heh, the prompt I wrote is pretty much all I could want. Although I feel I should specify that I don't want ALL of those things in the fic haha. I was just listing off the various topics I could find interesting. Franziska is one of the most interesting character's in the game, and I always enjoy her ongoing character development. Anything that explores it more in depth would be so lovely. <3
Oh, I should probably add that I prefer a pseudo-familial relationship between Edgeworth and Franziska over anything romantic.
Request Four: Wolf Hall
Character(s): Jane Seymour
Prompt: I thought Jane was so intriguing. Gen about any of the following would be wonderful; being Anne Boleyns lady-in-waiting her interactions with Cromwell, dealing with her crazy family etc.
Jane pretty much won my heart when she was talking to Cromwell and asked him what he thought of her meek diplomatic face. XD From that point on I wanted MOAR JANE ALL THE TIME, but the author limited her to a few brief appearances. I get the sense that she has an incredibly calculating mind underneath a calm surface, and I would enjoy character study fic that goes into that. :D
