Dear Yuletide Writer...
Dear Yuletide Writer,
Hi! Please excuse my overuse of exclamation marks, because I just received my assignment and am extremely excited about the whole process! :D I've been Yuletiding since 2007, and every year I've loved the stories I've been lucky enough to get. I know this year won't be any different!
So, a lot of my requests are similar, aside from the one outlier in the Batman Beyond Fandom. In case you couldn't tell, I really, really, really love American criminal history. And when I can't get real American crime, well... Batman is the next best thing XD!
I'll just start with Batman, since that is the outlier...
In Batman Beyond The one thing I would really, really like to see here is Max/Terry. I'm not picky as to the circumstances, but I 'ship the like a burning. Though, as I said in my note, I can be partial to Max/Bruce too, so long as (somehow) it's younger!Bruce.
I also don't mind if certain details about the toon!verse change. For instance, I love Barbara's comic!backstory, and prefer it to the toon!verse. Want to slip in a mention of Damien? Go ahead. In otherwords, please feel free to dive into the comicverse!
Public Enemies and Historical Criminals sort of cross over in a way, I guess. With PE, I guess I sort of just want a day-in-the-life story post-Billie's arrest. Like I said in my request, any mention of his Cubs and Baseball love would really make me grin.
With Historical Criminals, I'm interested in seeing what they all have to say to one another. Some sort of meeting in the afterlife, whatever that might be for them. I feel like that could be a fascinating conversation. I don't care as to the subject, but just having them all the in the same room... Also, there are some criminals that weren't added to the character list who you could feel free to include! HH Holmes and Lizzie Borden spring to mind. Any American you'd like to add, feel free! I'll read about anyone.
My request for The Assassination of Jesse James... really says all I need to it say :-) I love thinking about what Jesse was like with his wife and children, and even though I've read the book and the bios and I "know", nothing does it like some awesome fic!
The only thing I'm not too fond of in these fandoms is slash (which isn't an anti-slash thing on my part, but more a combination for semi-historicalness and the fact that I have slight crushes on Jesse and John XD!), but run with whatever Gen or Het ideas you have!
I'm really excited to read what you come up with! These are ideas I've poked over for ages and ages but have never had time to write and have never been able to find. I hope something I've said will provide you with some inspiration, and whatever it is you choose to write, I hope you have a good time doing it!
Thank you!
Piper
