To my lovely yuletide writer:

First of all, thank you so much! I mean, you're participating in this so you know what it's like to completely and fully love something and want to delve deeper into its fandom... only to find its fandom essentially doesn't exist. And you know how much that SUCKS. So thank you for making my world a little more awesome!

I like to think I'm easy to please--I like gen! I like het! I like ladyslash (I like ladyslash most actually)! I like dudeslash! I am pretty fond of happy endings, although I like a good tearjerker, too... I would prefer my fic not to be really dark but more on the lighthearted side. But, you know, suggestions really are optional. The only reason I tried to be more thorough this year is because last year I had a terrible feeling that maybe I had been too vague... but if you want to write something that completely goes off on a limb, that is okay!

The fandoms:

Libba Bray - A Great and Terrible Beauty

The best thing about this series is, by far, Felicity Worthington. I adore Felicity with all of my heart and I often wish Libba Bray would add some kind of prequel that was all about her. I would like something along those lines--her life before Gemma, that is--or possibly something post-TSFT in which she wears drag and lives in Paris. maybe has a bit of romance with Gemma? (In fact, I would LOVE some Felicity/Gemma!)

This series is one of my favorite series of all time. Something about it was just so irresistible to me. There are a lot of people who hate it/find it boring/whatever, and I generally make concessions along the lines of "Yeah, Felicity is kind of mean" and "Yeah, Pippa is a butthead" but to be honest, I love every single character. I would be completely okay with, like, a detailed character-centric kind of thing about any of the four main girls: something about Ann after she becomes star of that show in London (and a possible romance with the producer thereof?), or something about Pippa being lonely in the realms, or, I don't know, Gemma's experience in the USA. Felicity is definitely my favorite though, and I could read about her all day. ANYTHING about her would do. ANYTHING. As for ships, I love love love Gemma/Felicity, and I also like Felicity/Pippa, Gemma/Kartik, and Ann/that one dude whose name I forget. But don't feel like you have to write a pairing if you don't want to--that's not even what draws me to these books. It's the characters themselves, and the time period, and how totally anachronistic the girls' ideals and everything are. I like that! It's cool! Oh gosh I am going on.

Ann M. Martin - Baby-sitter's Club Series

Abby Stevenson is my favorite babysitter! I could read all of her books/fic about her for hours. If you want to write gen about her, I would be cool with that! I also love Abby/Kristy and I like Dawn/Kristy too. Something about high school or college or a reunion years down the line would be fabulous. Maybe a repeat, grown-up version of Abby and Kristy's first "date" (when they go to the movies together in Abby's Un-Valentine)?

Abby's my favorite, yes, but I believe I also requested Dawn, Stacey, and Kristy--any combination of these characters will do for me. My love for the BSC is great and strong. I love all of the girls. I just want to read about how they grow, especially once they leave middle school--is Kristy less bossy? Does Dawn develop a thing for--gasp--Twinkies? Like I said, also, my favorite ships are Abby/Kristy and Dawn/Kristy, and if you want to write about any other combination of any of the rest of the babysitters--even the ones I didn't request--I promise you it will not disappoint me. :) EDIT: I JUST REALIZED, how awesome it would be if there was gen fic about the Pike family hanging out and stuff. OH MAN!! The Pikes are a good choice if you don't want to write any of the aforementioned characters.

Whip It (movie)

This movie is SO AWESOME. Mostly I want a whole bunch of Pash/Bliss fic (snippets from working at Bluebonnet? Pash's real feelings about Bliss ditching her that one time? Bliss acting weird around Birdman? I don't even know), but I would take anything about anyone. I just want fic to EXIST for this fandom.

YEAH SO HOW GREAT IS THIS MOVIE? IT IS PRETTY MUCH THE GREATEST. I know I said a lot about Pash/Bliss (what if there was a fic about Bliss teaching Pash how to rollerskate!) but I said any because I WOULD love fic for any of the characters. My favorites besides Pash and Bliss are probably Maggie Mayhem, Smashley Simpson, and Iron Maven, and I would love to hear something about whatever is going on between Eva Destruction and Rosa Sparks. :D I don't mind gen, and I would love to hear your take on what is going on between all of the women on the team--what are they like outside of derby (take Maggie's son for instance... what are all of their lives outside of the game)?

Suzanne Collins - The Hunger Games trilogy

My favorite thing about the Hunger Games is by far the existence of Peeta. I would love for Peeta and Katniss to end up together (although the way Gale has been written in the book I doubt this will happen). So, Peeta/Katniss fic please! Maybe Peeta's perspective on all of those kisses they've shared (or even that first kiss), or Peeta having a discussion with Cinna about how he feels about Katniss. There are a lot of possibilities!

I'M REALLY SORRY, I didn't even realize until I began writing this how Peeta/Katniss-centered this is. OKAY. So, you don't actually have to write Peeta/Katniss. I would like Peeta gen about his life at the bakery, or... basically anything about Peeta, yeah. I also would definitely not say no to more about Rue or Finnick or Johanna. They're such interesting characters and we know so little of them, especially since we can only see them through Katniss's eyes/in light of the games--what are they like in their natural environments, when they don't have to worry about strategy and surviving? What were Finnick's and Johanna's versions of the game like, through their own eyes? Anything!

Thank you so much!

yuletide
