dear yuletide author of goodness
dear yuletide author!
you are so amazing. this is just frosting on the cake, dear author. writing one of my requests is present enough indeed.
however, in case you wanted to know more: i am a canon freak. i like angst and sadness and reality. this year i picked happier fandoms than most years (i really don't know what is up with me!) so there isn't as much room for angsty sadness, but if you want to kill someone off, i am your recipient. (no, really.) the only thing i don't really want is a lot of sexing, or even really a focus on relationships like that. i am not against then, i just love the characters more. if that makes sense? go ahead and put some sexing in, if you're going that way, but also have some plot? and really, really, really, i am not a fan of AUs.
but i adore all my fandoms this year. just offering them make me so so happy. seriously, there's no way you can make me unhappy here. i am so excited!!
for more specifics on my requests, click below! and i think pene knows my likes and dislikes more than anyone right now. fox1013 is another good resource.
Lumatere Chronicles - Melina Marchetta
basically i just want more of this world. more more more. you can't go wrong here. i chose the first three women because i thought no one else would, but i want more of ALL of them. i love lirah's fierceness and her survival, phaedra's adaptability and heart, and i didn't feel like there was enough of beatriss and trevanion. the relationship between beatriss, tessadora, and isaboe. the flatlanders, the river folk. the ideas of boundaries and borders, between people, family, cities and countries. i like canon. a lot. i've read "quintana" so no worries about spoilers! but if you haven't, it doesn't matter. plot, character development, background, whatever, i will love it. (quintana, celie, augie and albie, vestie, jasmina, harker, lucien, arjuno, gargarin, froi, perri (!!), etc. are not on the requests, but feel free to throw them all in or leave them out. i love everyone, basically.)
basically i said everything in my request, but for some reason i am feeling "froi" as my favorite of the trilogy these days. (this changes weekly, it seems.) i think it's because i reread it in preparation for "quintana" and i was just struck by the weight of these characters and their hearts and capacity for love and forgiveness while still carrying such burdens. and i love this world. i would be happy if you even wanted to create a new character set in skuldenore. (i also have a soft spot for jehr and sud. or any of the other lands.) but really. i don't think you can go wrong here because I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SERIES.
Code Name Verity - Elizabeth E. Wein
isolde von linden and the question - what did you do during the war, daddy? or - this is a fandom where happy endings are okay, though i need an acknowledgment that bad things have happened. a holiday might be nice! jamie and maddie after julie is gone. mitraillette after the war, finding peace. and i am not tied to any characters. i would like a happy ending, i think, but not an AU. i love canon, so please don't break that. but speculate! (but not ignoring the realities of the war - these people are all broken in places.) that was the brilliance of the book, the balancing of the laughter and tears and dreaming and reality. i have read this book half a dozen times. how did georgia penn end up? did anna ever get a red dress and a kiss? go wild! i love it!
i read this book as a galley back in spring. as a galley, it had no markings in it. so the suspense was even MORE for me the first time through, because there was absolutely no hint that things were underlined. (you can read my review for this on goodreads - same user name there.) mostly, i love the reality of this story. the heartbreak. and how the final kiss me, hardy was the greatest and most difficult gift fly the plane maddie could give. this was the time period in which i focused at college, so it's hard for me to not have things be historically accurate (which is only part of the reason i love this book so hard). i love that wein took the hard line and reality and went the way she did, so an AU isn't what i'm exactly looking for, but if you want to go that way, i will still love it because you are writing for me and that is so exciting!! i also love the secondary characters (georgia penn really interests me. same with isolde - how does she grow up after her swiss school? does she ever know? and i would love to know how anna ends up. even a passing sentence. on anyone.
suri's burn book
oh my heavens. i picked this fandom because i laugh laugh laugh at the blog. part of me wants a whole party with suri's commentary - what if katie forced her to go to violet's birthday with zuma and blue ivy and mason disik? what happens when kate gets pregnant? what would suri do if tom or katie started dating again, and go pregnant? how long until she files for emancipation? what were the best parts of scientology - clearly she doesn't miss the time with the pinkett-smiths! (poor willow.) and of course, the epic story of the Boy That Got Away, cruz beckham. snark, and possibly even being forced to go to a holiday party. being forced to wear a costume. etc. etc. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG.
so, usually i like kind of depressing things. but this tumblr came into my life AND CRACKED ME UP. and there are so many options here. the withering stares! the disgust! the JUDGEMENT! i want snark. and scathing remarks. and all the things that make the tumblr what it is. the relationship between suri and her parents, all the other celebrity kids, I LOVE IT ALL. whatever you do with this, i will love it. i mean it.
THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU. I CAN'T WAIT. just do what you love, and i'll love it.
eeeee!!!!
