Dear Yuletide Author,
Dear Yuletide Author,
Thank you so, so, so much for writing for me! I guarantee I will effusively enjoy whatever you come up with for me. All of these fandoms are very dear to my heart and I am so excited.
General items:
Things that aren't my jam:
- A/B/O in general
- Mpreg
- Rape/non-con
- Bashing lady characters
- Unhappy endings -- angst is fine and I love hurt/comfort, but I would ultimately not want to have the story end with characters split up/hating each other/dead and not ghosts
Things that are really my jam:
- Found families/team dynamics/friendships
- Friends-to-lovers
- Domesticity scenes
- Dialogue/banter/people teasing each other about things out of love
- Most AUs that aren't in the things that aren't my jam category. Feel free to run with pretty much anything else if you have a good idea and want to run with it. Cyborgs! Mermaids! Ghosts! Girl bands! Buddy cops! Sports!
- Happy endings
Fandom-specific prompts:
A League of Their Own
This has been one of my favorite movies since childhood and I blame it for planting the seeds that led to my current baseball obsession.
I would love anything involving these characters. Kit and Mae are my favorites, so anything focusing on one or both of them would be especially welcome. More scenes from baseball throughout the years as they kept playing. Or a sometime-hopefully-in-the-near-future AU where there are women playing baseball in MLB.
In terms of shipping preferences, I ship Mae and Doris, but I also welcome general friendship fic or other relationships or anything! For Mae and Doris, anything that comes before the events in the movie would also be welcome.
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe - Benjamin Alire Sáenz
Aristotle and Dante's relationship makes my heart so happy. My preference would be a continuation where the book left off -- more scenes from their developing romantic relationship, how they navigate acknowledging the feelings that are between them, how it relates to family, etc..
I know there is going to be a sequel (for which I am SO EXCITED), but anything that takes place where the book left off would be most welcome! Or any of the scenes from the book but from Dante's point of view. Or just a bunch of words about feelings and making out and hand holding and sex. Both of these characters are so very dear to me that anything that happens with them will make me so happy.
Pitch
I am already madly in love with Ginny. What I really want more of is friendship fic, particularly to get more scenes between Ginny and Evelyn and Blip, or Ginny and Mike and Blip, or Ginny and Evelyn, or Ginny and any other members of the team, or whatever else works for you! I adore baseball, and I adore team dynamics, and any kind of shenanigans you could have them get up to would be fantastic. Or if you want a specific thing, how does dressing up for rookie hazing end up shaking out for Ginny? What's a team dinner like on a day off?
I would prefer the fic not have any of the teammates be romantically involved with each other. Relationships with other characters not on the team are great (I really love Blip and Evelyn and would also enjoy a story that focused on them). From the initial time I signed up until now I am also debating whether to change this, but I currently don't ship any of the Padres with each other so far, though Mike and Ginny are having some cute moments.
This request might evolve over time as more episodes come out. I am not really a stickler for accuracy when a show is currently airing and there's the potential for things to take a left turn unexpectedly!
Fitz and the Fool Trilogy - Robin Hobb
I have been rereading the entire series from start to finish and literally anything about the Fool and Fitz will make me happy at this point. There's so much tragedy that touches both characters and a lot of attendant guilt on both their parts for the things they did - or didn't - manage to do for each other. I would ideally like to see some form of them finding peace with themselves and with each other and with Bee. I adore Bee a lot.
Since the third book is not out yet, if you want to go into alternate reality territory that is totally fine! Or skipping ahead to any point or rewriting any point so that Fitz and the Fool and Bee can have a moment that doesn't resolve in hasty stabbing. Also while Molly is not my favorite character, I would prefer to not have her connection with Bee or with Fitz disregarded if you choose to stick with the events as they are so far in canon.
I really enjoy the world that Robin Hobb has created, but also feel free to go entirely AU! The Fool is a pastry chef and Fitz is a single father who has unwittingly ended up being an overworked event planner? Fitz and the Fool end up becoming parents to Bee while they're starting a colony in outer space? Fitz is a baseball player and the Fool doesn't care about sports but his daughter Bee is a huge fan? Pretty much anything.
Currently still in-progress!
