dear yuletide writer
:
yes. i know. you are probably thinking, who is this crazy ass person with these weirdo requests?
that would be me, the one who has to be talked out of killing characters every year for yuletide. so, you know, if you want some character death, go for it! also, there are really only two things that squick me to the core: incest, and really fluffy PWP. (non-con, rape, etc. all fine).
it should be said, i think, that i am a bit of a psychological freak. in that i really, really like my stories to be psychologically accurate. so if you are going the way of non-con/etc., some sort of nod to the psychological repercussions would pretty much thrill me to no end.
with all that, there is no way you won't make me a happy camper dec. 25th. seriously. i know my prompts listed four characters for some, but that's because i wasn't really paying attention to the rules so much, and i apologize. i will be more clear now. (also, the order of the requests has no bearing on how much i'd like any of them, seriously.)
1. uglies quartet - so it should be clear dr. cable is my favorite insane genius, but i got a lovely stocking stuffer about her last year, so if you don't want to write the epic dr. cable/maddy story i am lusting over, you're off the hook. ;) like i said, i'd love some shay/tally friendship stuff, and i hadn't really processed extras when i filled out the request form, so i actually would possibly love tally in extras as much as i would love dr. cable. ESPECIALLY if you can pull parallels. ooooh. yeah. the creepier and colder the better. though if you want to write shay and tally pre-smoke, that could be nicer. i'm not going to be disappointed if there's not deep despair. i just don't want to warn you away from it. ;)
2. shark - so jessica devlin is now on the same level as madeleine, and that has to be driving madeleine crazy. i love the depiction of madeleine as the cut throat ambitious bitch (i liken to her to how most of america thinks hillary clinton was in law school) but especially because she's so much like stark. and then there's jessica, who's been sort of the moral compass (in a cuddy on house sort of way), but now she has to play by stark's rules. so exciting! i don't care what comes out of this, honestly, shark fic is just too rare for me even to CARE. i love this show with the passion only someone so out of the target demographic could. (serious bonus points if you can bring back that prosecutor who was played by the woman who was jayne on commander in chief.)
3. karin slaughter - if you are writing this, you are either quasiradiant, or you are some other glorious person that somehow i don't know. again, i messed up with requesting all four characters, but mainly i think i'd either like some lena/sara post-"beyond reach" or some exploration of the relationships between the sisters, and how they differ in the families. i love lena and i adore sara and god, i don't want to spoil the books, but like i said, a post-beyond reach story focusing on those two would be KILLER. especially with reference to a line - ask the yuletide mods, and i'll pass along the quote, i just don't want to ruin the ending if it hasn't been read.
so. obviously i'm a crazy person. if you need help deciphering things, figuring out what i like, etc. i will tell you that likethesun2, while not knowing these fandoms, IS the other half of my brain. (honestly.) quasiradiant knows my likes better than i do (also she knows uglies and karin slaughter) and fox1013 knows my uglies love. they would be excellent choices for betas, or anything. i'm sorry i can't refer you to anyone who shares my love of "shark", as sadly, i'm the only person i know!
but honestly? you don't need to write to the prompts. anything in any of these fandoms with any of the characters mentioned will fill my heart with such amazing glee, you have no idea. i am SO EXCITED to see what you come up with. i hope you aren't tearing your hair out with anger that you got my list (i know, it's SO RANDOM), but.
YOU ARE COMPLETELY AWESOME.
