Greetings, Yuletide author!
Hello and thank you for sharing my love for one or more of these four tiny fandoms! I absolutely can't wait to read what you create--I am certain I'll love it. ♥
This will be my fifth Yuletide (you can see my previous letters at my "yuletide" tag). Everything in my older letters is still true--in fact, I've requested Madeleine L'Engle all five years because I love the series and its characters so very much. But don't worry! I am devoted to all of these fandoms I would love to read any story you care to tell about any of them.
As a reader, I am happy to read gen, slash, and het. I love tropes (dearest favorites are amnesia and time travel). Futurefic, worldbuilding, and explicitly bisexual characters (regardless of whether they are in canon) are some of my very favorite things. I'm not against unhappy endings (sometimes rocks should fall!), but I do prefer to steer clear of betrayal, non-con, and zombies.
If you're looking for info about me, here are my terribly incomplete (Pinboard favorites) and AO3 favorites, and for crossover purposes there's a list of all the fandoms I follow in my userinfo.
Austin & Murry-O'Keefe Families - Madeleine L'Engle
Charles Wallace Murray
I love all of L'Engle's characters, but my favorites are Charles Wallace, Polly, and Zachary. I'd love to read anything about any of them, so please take my specification of Charles Wallace as a suggestion!
Here are a couple of ideas: Sandy and Dennys Murray appear in Many Waters and A House Like a Lotus but are mostly ignored elsewhere, and I've always wanted to hear more about their lives--what effect their adventure in Many Waters had on them and their relationship, what their college years were like, how they met their partners--whatever strikes you as worth telling.
I'd always like to read about Charles Wallace's mysterious adulthood (casefic--maybe a crossover with a canon I'm familiar with--would be most welcome) or any interaction with Meg, Polly, and/or Calvin would be excellent.
Zachary Grey futurefic would be stupendous.
Your L'Engle headcanon: please show me it!
The Importance of Being Earnest - Wilde
Algernon "Algy" Moncrieff (Earnest - Wilde) and Jack "Ernest" Worthing (Earnest - Wilde)
The Importance of Being Earnest is my favorite play, and there is no limit to the fic I would read. Futurefic (I always love futurefic)! Do the couples hate each other after five years? Does another character take up Bunburying, or do Jack and/or Algernon return to it (together or separately)? Are there hijinks? Maybe Gwendolen and Cecily keep secrets of their own?
I'd joyfully read anything from Jack/Algernon (and this is one of the rare cases where I don't really mind if Cecily and Gwendolen are kept in the dark. Or they could have an affair of their own! Or poly foursome! Whatev!) to Lady Bracknell's next dinner party. Also, missing scenes, genderswap, and tropefic are all extra super-duper welcome here.
Sleepless In Seattle (1993)
Jonah Baldwin and Jessica (Sleepless In Seattle)
I love the adorable BFF relationship between Jonah Baldwin and Jessica. I'd love to read futurefic about them, anything from just after the events of the movie through their adult years. Do they stay in touch, and/or stay best friends? Do they fall in love, or are they (un)happily platonic? What are they like as teenagers or adults? I'm not sure if I ship it, but I don't mind if you do--or if you don't! Just give me a window into their futures and I'll be delighted.
Incidentally, I'd like a mention of Sam and Annie (are they together? How did they work out the geographic issues?) and of Jessica's parents (were they even mad about her involvement in Jonah's scheme, or just proud?) if you can swing either or both.
Being of Two Minds - Pamela F. Service
Connie Hendricks and Rudolf of Thulgaria
Pamela F. Service lives in my hometown, and I randomly bought a signed copy of this book at the local bookstore when I was about 13. I've stayed obsessed with it ever since! Telepathy (~soulbond?), royalty, political intrigue, and international travel are all catnip for me now just like they were then.
I'd love to read anything about Connie and Rudy, though as usual I'd adore futurefic. How do they manage to stay in each other's lives as they grow up? Does their connection change over time, and how do they use or minimize their telepathic "condition"?
I'm happy to read ship fic or gen--original characters (or crossover characters) and ships are as welcome as Connie/Rudy.
(I'd love a peek at Wolfie and the rest of the royal family, too.)
Thank you again, dear author! I hope you have a wonderful time this Yuletide, and I look forward to hearing from you on December 25th!
Love,
Cinco
