Yuletiiiiiide
Hello wonderful soul!
This, this is the year that my Yuletide letter placeholder gets filled in on assignment day week month?! -_- *crosses fingers*
I signed up very last minute, so I had no time to fill in any Optional details. If you dread a signup without any info at all, here's ALL the info dump. \o/
If you'd rather not have your imagination hampered, please feel free to read only the "squicks and no-nos" section.
Squicks and no-nos: death in general (other than canonical deaths, and even then, would prefer no emphasis or graphic detail); sexual violence of any kind; animal cruelty, or anything bad happening to animals.
Request-specific info to be added this week, health allowing. >.<
Well, health & brain not very cooperative, but here we go \o/.
747 (Strangers In The Night) (Song)
Characters: The Narrator (747)
An older obsession of mine, returned. What is happening there? Has there been a global catastrophe while they were flying and are they (and other in-flight planes?) the last survivors of humanity?
I don't usually go for apocalyptic scenarios, but if this one takes your fancy, feel free to explore it - do please try to inject some hope and light into it if you do, though. I need my hope and light.
Alternatively, maybe they've travelled in time - backwards, forwards? To a time where there were no runway lights or runways, or to a time when they've been obsoleted?
I like "characters out of their time" tropes, so that's another way it could go.
Other themes I like are friendship, loyalty, trust, comfort, hugs, hope.
Early Edition
Characters: Gary Hobson, Miguel Diaz
Ah, one of my fandoms from before I knew the word fandom. ♥
I have to shamefacedly admit that I don't remember all the details of the epic episodes where Miguel appeared, but I remember it was epic, and people were fighting for their lives, and I had no idea what slash was but I knew I wanted Gary and Miguel to be very, very close. Feel free to keep it a close friendship, but would also love a relationshippy approach. As if Gary doesn't have enough trouble with "where do I get my info from". :D Kind of like the knowledge about being an Immortal in the Highlander canon, I view knowledge about The Paper as reserved to the nearest and dearest, so it's a big thing when someone makes it into that circle.
I loved Gary and his quest to fix the headlines, from his initial reluctance to "well, this is what I do".
I love Cat - I can't believe I didn't include him in the characters list, but, well, you don't have to include Cat. If you want, though, and if you're as appalled about my omission as I am, feel free to include him! Nothing bad to happen to him, please, I generally don't want any animal harm but I am especially sensitive to cats.
John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme
Characters: Finnemore | The Storyteller (John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme)
Well, since I ask you for a story of - I don't know. Meta happenings at Yuletide Manor? Shenanigans across time, space, and other fandoms? If you matched on this, I imagine you as a dedicated Finnemorean, and as such I give you free reign over the JFSP, Cabin Pressure, and John and Kevin's Sunday Papers universes.
Some of my favourite Since You Ask Me: The One with the Crocopie, The One with the Tortoise Ranch, The Murder Mystery at Coop Manor (Locked Cottage Mystery), A Ghost Story Without Any Ghosts.
Some of my favourite JFSP sketches are The Chess Sketch, The Two Bodyguards, Waiting for Snow Leopards, The Affair (AKA Lucy's Dilemma), Stoppable: the tram story, The Goldfish, Alien Abduction Story, The CatNav, Celsius vs Fahrenheit, Train Manager and Train Driver, Re: Revolution.
I'm not such a fan of the story of Chris MusCheer, though, so despite the seasonal associations, I'd rather not have that one.
