Dear Yuletide Writer 2019

Thank you so much for writing for me!


I am

into: Worldbuilding, settings, adventures, neat ideas, engagement with canon, complication of canon (including making antagonists sympathetic).

not-so-into: Darkness for darkness's sake, realistic violence (including sexual violence)

Three Might Be Duende - They Might Be Giants (Song)

"No diorama could match his drama"

I am interested in anything you do with this. Who are these characters? Are they allegorical figures? Supernatural beings? What are they up to?

20th Century Naval Vessels (Anthropomorfic)
USS Independence (CV-62), Italian training ship Amerigo Vespucci

"You are the most beautiful ship in the world."

My request is inspired by this brief historical flirtation between the two ships in the 60s, and the immediate need to anthropomorphize the pair.

Note #1: Since the Independence was decommissioned in 1998 and is currently being dismantled, that "death" is canon and fair game if you want to include it, but if you'd rather not that is also fine.

Note #2: I'm deliberately not specifying the gender of either ship in this prompt, but please feel free to do whatever you would like to with their genders.

Very optional prompt #1: Did the two ships communicate further after their meeting? What did the Vespucci think of the Independence's statement?

Very optional prompt #2: What does the Vespucci think of the Independence's decommissioning? Does the Vespucci have thoughts about the next ship to bear the Independence's name?

Very optional prompt #3: Any sort of AU with the two ships!

The Poor Man of Nippur (Short Film 2018)

"Tell your master thus the blessings of the gods: for one insult which you imposed on me, for that one, I shall repay you thrice!"

(This is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxYoFlnJLoE if you're looking for it.)

I love the humor of this, and the amount of fun the actors are clearly having. If you offered this, I am fascinated to see what you want to write for it.

Very optional prompt #1: What sort of mischief did Gimli-Ninurta get into out in the country?

Very optional prompt #2: What sort of consequences happened in Nippur?

The Little Hours (2017)

"I know what you're doing with the donkey and she's my donkey now!"

I like how this movie brings out the feel of the original text in a modern form. I love the relationships between the characters.

Very optional prompt #1: Does Fernanda continue to lead Alessandra and Ginevra toward witchcraft? Does Ginevra continue her pursuit of Fernanda?

Very optional prompt #2: It would be lovely to see a rescue of Massetto's master's wife.
