[ripped off from last year's letter for the sake of promptness/expediency ( Read more... )

Hello author!

I have been doing the tide of yulez for many years and it's the highlight of my fannish year - it's my secret fannish Christmas that I prefer to 'normal' Christmas. Hope you feel the same. I am basically happy to read anything you want to write with the nominated characters and fandom. So the proviso to everything in this letter is:  ( Read more... )

This bit is copy-pasta'ed from previous years as I am the laziest:

Things about my taste in fic:

I like character more than I like plot (though I wouldn't throw plot out of bed with me and character for eating crackers). I like emotional realism, if that makes any sense. I like characterisation-driven angst, but not melodrama or trope-driven ( Read more... )

YOU GUYS, somebody remixed my Bitter Smithing Novelette, The Apprentice (The Hobbit, Thorin/OMC) as:


The Master Smith (the Once More For Good Measure remix)

Summary: What happened to Dervil and Oswald in the years after Thorin left?
WHICH INCLUDES the future life of Dervil and Oswald in the smithy yesss. Thorin returning to see Dervil before he goes ( Read more... )

A HEARTWARMING CHRISTMAS STORY:

• Having, like the constructive and wise individual I am, by the normal deadline, posted a short version of my yuletide fic that minimally fulfilled the premise, but was not really that shit-hot...
• And having then worked on writing more, and worked on writing more, and worked on writing more, and edited and edited and ( Read more... )

Specifics are in the actual request. :)

REMIX REMIX REMIX here is mine. Have not written Sherlock before, and it was super fun. Season 3 is a bit horrid and this seems like a good diversion from it!

YOU GUYS somebody remixed an ancient trashy Aragorn/Legolas smut fic of mine and made it all classy and also super Tolkienesque, and also with a chilling!plot!twist. Basically this person needs to rewrite the whole of Lord of the Rings for me to fill up the interstices with discreet gay hookups while the epic plot carries on in the foreground. SO ( Read more... )

Fic I received:

I got a fun Lost Girl, Dyson/Kenzi smut fic  from Soo: Love at the end of the world. Yay!

Fic I wrote:

I wrote for a really obscure fandom this time. It’s In Treatment - a really excellent HBO show about a psychotherapist, Paul (Gabriel Byrne), and his patients, which mostly takes place during the therapy sessions. It is entirely ( Read more... )

My requests, with some extra comments:

• Silk (TV) - Martha Costello - Clive Reader - "Something spiky and sexy."
  • That Clive. He is so awful. And yet: so sexy. He sort of needs to be punished, doesn't he? And yet, wouldn't that just be giving him the attention he craves? What a mess!
• The Almighty Johnsons - Anders Johnson - Ty Johnson (The Almighty ( Read more... )
