Yuletide

Just in case my yuletide writer is curious/would like some direction, I thought I'd give a better indication of the sort of story I'd like.


First, thanks for writing for me! I can already assure you, I'll be thrilled with anything you write for one of these fandoms. My general tastes are: I like fluff, crackfic, character studies, vignettes. A story with a holiday setting or theme would be lovely, though by no means required. Gen, het, slash, and femslash are all welcome. Any rating is fine.

On the other side of the coin, I don't care for graphic violence, non-con, and character bashing.

Now we get into my requested fandoms. For most of these, I have a few story ideas in case you'd like guidance. Please don't feel obligated to stick to the suggestions, though. If you want to write a different plot, go for it!

All My Children
I'm fond of most of the characters, but especially Erica, Phoebe, Palmer, Myrtle, Babe, Ryan, the Martins in general, Bianca, Leo, and David.

Trixie Belden Mysteries
I especially like Trixie, Honey, and Jim. However, I'd also be very happy with an ensemble piece, or a story with the focus on Mart, Miss Trask, Regan, Di, Brian, or Dan. Preferably no futurefic. A short mystery or a piece from Honey's viewpoint are a couple of ideas I had.

Desperate Housewives
I know I chose several characters from the list when signing up, but don't feel constrained that you must write about them only, or even necessarily include them in the story. For me, you really can't go wrong no matter which characters you write about. When I signed up, I included the following suggestions:
A story set before Mary Alice's death (from anyone's viewpoint) is one idea. The women just playing a poker game and gossiping is another. Or maybe something set during that five-year "gap" when the show jumped ahead in time? Then the story could be about Gabi being pregnant and her reaction, Bree building up her business, etc. A "What happened to Kayla?" fic is another possibility.

Ugly Betty
I love Betty, Christina, Justin, and Marc. A story with a focus on one or more of them would be great. Ideas: What's Christina been doing since she left? Justin working somewhere/interacting with Marc. Or Marc could get a new boyfriend. If shipping Betty, Betty/Daniel or Betty/Matt work best for me.
