Dear Yuletide Writer 2014
It's that time again!! Hooray!! Thanks, yuletide author, for signing on for this round of tiny fandom shenanigans :D
General fanfic likes/dislikes:
I love stories that mess around with perspective, time, expectations. I prefer plot, but I like character vignettes, too. I enjoy reading long descriptive passages; I like quick, challenging dialogue. I'm fond of allusions to other works, related or not, but detailed references to canon are also welcome.
I love gen, het, slash. I would prefer nothing very explicit or very AU (I am not a fan of high school/coffee shop AUs, for example).
I love critiques of social inequalities (probably best suited for Sleepy Hollow and Dreamsnake, but Eureka has possibilities for this too) and narratives of resistance.
Specific fandoms:
Abbie and Ichabod go grocery shopping...before and/or after the end of the world.
What would Ichabod make of a Whole Foods or a Trader Joe's? Or a COSTCO? The possibilities are endless. Also, because I always think about how I would totally corner the market on toothbrushes in the event of an apocalypse, how would Abbie and Ichabod stock up after the end of days? (BTW, I totally ship Ichabbie-with-Katrina's-blessing, but this doesn't need to be a central focus or anything.)
Snake and Melissa's travels after the book ends.
Mainly hoping for worldbuilding! Snake's world IS post-apocalyptic, but also highly advanced. Show me where Snake takes Melissa. Is it back to her training facilities, where the snakes are bred? Or back out to talk to Jesse's people, or find out if the world is healing?
Honestly, anything--a day in the life, some fun new weird experiment that gets loose, Allie and Jack's eternal love, Jo or Henry's pre-Eureka days, time travel gone wrong...I will love it.
I LOVE EUREKA. I ship Allie/Carter pretty solidly, but really anything else goes.
