Dear Yuletide Author
First, let me thank you for signing up for one of my fandoms. I hope I can make the experience as painless as possible for you. :)
For this exchange, I'm going to list my likes and DNWs separately for each fandom, as what I'm looking for from each is a little different.
Airwolf
requested characters: Michael, Caitlin
In canon, Michael has been blown up, tortured, brainwashed and drugged into attempting to kill his superior, all within the span of three years. That's got to leave a few demons, particularly ones that he's really not in a position where he can admit to them. PTSD? Nightmares? Perhaps some seriously unhealthy coping mechanisms? Caitlin's been through some things herself, including having a bomb strapped to her. I could easily see her picking up on there being something wrong with Michael. I'd love any sort of take on that, from a gen version up to and including kink (bondage, blood play, pain play?)
If that's not your thing, how about Michael and Caitlin having to rescue String and Dom, for a change, instead of the other way around? Or, some sort of fix-it fic for the way Michael is “transferred” and Caitlin simply disappears at the end of the third season? Any rating is fine.
Likes for this fandom: snarky characters, physical or mental h/c, PWP, gen, humor, character studies, adventure, women or other characters who are usually in need of rescue turning the tables and being the hero. Note that I'm fine with dub-con and I'm also okay with gore, violence and secondary character deaths.
DNWs for this fandom: unrequested pairings, main character death, rape, a/b/o, genderswap, male or female pregnancy, kid fic, curtain fic, setting change (ie, coffee shop) AUs. Also no scat or watersports, please.
Indycar RPF
requested characters: Hinch, Helio, Conor, Alonso
First, let me make it clear that you do not need to use all of my requested drivers. In fact, I don't mind if you use none of them, and instead use your own favorites of current and past drivers. I nominated the drivers that I thought might be the most fun, but I really have no particular favorite drivers in Indycar.
I would prefer a gen story in this fandom, and I'd love it if you could write something with at least an undercurrent of humor to it.
A few suggestions. There is approximately a week of practice time prior to the Indianapolis 500, and given typical Indiana weather, usually at least one day ends up being a washout, leaving the drivers with little to do. Several years ago during a rain delay, Hinch started a “planking” thing among the drivers, which led to a bit of unofficial competition to find more and more unusual and outrageous places to plank. Another rain delay could cause a similar contest. Perhaps Hinch and Helio (both prior contestants on Dancing with the Stars) could give dancing lessons. Likewise, Conor was a contestant on The Amazing Race, and several drivers appeared on Family Feud - perhaps they could appear on some other game show? Or if you'd like to go in another direction entirely, maybe the airport is fogged in, and the drivers have to car pool/road trip together? Maybe the drivers gang up in a prank war on one of the announcers? If you have another idea, go with it!
Likes for this fandom: snarky characters, gen, humor up to and including crack. Boys behaving badly.
DNWs for this fandom: sexual content, main character death, rape, a/b/o, genderswap, male or female pregnancy, kid fic, curtain fic, setting change (ie, coffee shop) AUs. Also no serious racing accidents. (I don't mind damaged equipment, but no injuries, please.)
Hello From Under the Tree Adele Parody (you tube)
Which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuFCy6Tqpq4
requested characters: male singer, female singer
Unless you happen to live in the WFSB broadcast area, you're probably not here for this fandom. However, on the chance that you are, or that you signed up for one of my other fandoms and would rather write something different, I'll give you a bit of back story.
Scot and Nicole are the morning weatherman and traffic/news reporter from WFSB, and they are both Characters, especially Scot. Perhaps what's why I got such a kick out of this video. It was made several years ago, at least in part of advertise WFSB's holiday light display.
I would love nearly anything for this video. What's the relationship between these two? (I'm going to refer to them as Scot and Nicole for convenience, but feel free to give then any names you'd like, or no names at all if you'd prefer.) Are they former boyfriend/girlfriend? She's wearing a ring, what does that mean? Is there a reason why the handset of Nicole's phone isn't connected to the base, and the base not connected to the phone jack? Why are their loose branches in the tree that Scot is pulling out? Why is he wandering around the hardware store dragging a shovel when there's no snow? Why does he trow leaves at her, and why does she walk into the door? Go wild!
Likes for this fandom: snarky characters, humor up to and including crack.
DNWs for this fandom: main character death (please note that I am perfectly okay with one or both characters being ghosts), rape, a/b/o, genderswap, male or female pregnancy, kid fic, curtain fic, setting change (ie, coffee shop) AUs. Also, for this fandom, please nothing above a PG rating.
In summary, regardless of which fandom you're here for, have fun writing and don't stress too much. I'm sure I'll love whatever you come up with! Thanks again!
