Yuletide Santa Letter!
First of all, thank you for offering to write a story for me! I'm sure I'll love whatever you write. These are just some suggestions, in case you need inspiration. Also, this year I've included a bit more detail about what I specifically love in each of my fandoms, if that helps.
In general, I like m/m stories. I am in the over-50 group, so teen angst type stories are right out (I get enough of that from my daughter forcing us to watch MTV shows). I prefer maturity in my characters. I like graphic sex but that isn't everyone's cuppa so I am quite fine with fade-to-blacks, explicit sex, or anything in between. I like kink but I don't demand it, and I don't have a problem with genderbending, mpreg, bdsm, but please no partner infidelity. I don't mind if the characters have to go through angst but I like angst as an appetizer with a happy ending for dessert. (I like h/c but more comfort than hurt.) I love stories that explore characters - their back-stories, their thoughts, their dreams - so if you don't feel like writing a romance, I am perfectly fine with a gen story about the characters. I really, really dislike character death, partner betrayal, and rape/noncon, although I don't mind kinky games with characters playing at non-con. If you need to see the sort of stories I write, feel free to check out my website or my Ao3 site. Also, I have tried to update my LJ memories to include stories I enjoy - most of the Yuletide fandoms would be under Misc fandoms - and I've made a couple notes with each fandom.
From Eroica with Love - I would love just about anything in it: gen mission, romantic interlude, PWP, character study - I'm easy! I'm a Dorian/Klaus shipper, so I don't want to read about them with someone else in a romantic way, but I'm also happy with Dorian pursuing the Major without catching him. FYI - one of my favorite authors in "Eroica" is Anne-Li . Possible ideas (but feel free to go with your own!):
1) Klaus is injured during a mission and when he wakes up, he thinks he's Eroica. Eroica has to pretend to be Klaus in order to complete the mission - and help Klaus recover his memory.
2) a "Sliding Doors" kind of story, taking a key event in one of the stories and making a slight change, and seeing how that affects the outcome of the story.
3) an "It's a Wonderful Life!" type of story, having a character see how their absence changes events (and for this one, I would be perfectly fine for the viewpoint character to be a minor one - an Alphabet or an Eroica gang member, as long as the focus is primarily on how it affects Dorian or Klaus).
Big Eden - Usually I offer this fandom, but this year I want to change things up. I love Pike and Henry, and I would love to see any kind of story with them in it. Building their romance, years in the future, a look at them as kids - you name it, I'm ready for it. I also love all the people in the town, so feel free to throw them into the mix.
Endeavour - This is a new fandom for me, so I am open for anything. Any character, but especially Endeavour Morse. Any kind of story - case, backstory, romance, slice of life, they are all fine. I love the way the outside Morse doesn't quite fit into the station, and his awkwardness with the Thursday family, and the way they make allowances for him.
Scarlet Pimpernell - Percy is a must, but feel free to add anyone else you want in here. And I mean anyone. Feel free to rip my heart out. Go on - you know you want to. And I'm a big fan of Historical fiction, so additional references to costuming, social life, dancing, slang of the period, historical characters, etc., will make me giddy with delight.
Sleepy Hollow (TV) - I am so new to this fandom that I am still catching up on Netflix and haven't watched Season 3 yet. I love the combination of the humor and the adventures. I love Ichabod with his "fish out of water" awkwardness. I love all the supporting characters. Any kind of story would make me happy. I wouldn't mind fleshing out of some of the things referred to in passing - Ichabod attending the mock battles would be adorable, for example, and the way he gets both admired and ridiculed for being so "in character". Back-stories for any of the characters, particularly Abbie and Jenny would be lovely, and I would love to see more Macey in the mix - she seems like a cool character.
Thanks again for writing for me!
