Yuletide 2009
Dearest Yuletide Writer,
Please do not be scared. This year I did go a bit overboard with the detail around my requests. Take it in stride, y/y?
Miami Vice (Movie)
I love Colin Farrell's Sonny Crockett. (And I say this as an old-school fan that loved Don Johnson's Sonny Crockett.) Be true to that character, and I'll be pleased as punch.
30 Rock
This was my "accessible/mainstream" pick, since I seem to pick crazy, out-there fandoms, typically. I like Liz in spite of herself, but I truly adore Jack Donaghy. ("What Would Jack Do?" is a frequent personal affirmation.)
RPF - Deadliest Catch
I got really, really obsessed with this show when they did the huge marathons earlier this year. Totally love it. Love the guys on both the Northwestern and Cornelia Marie. And, yes, I totally draw hearts around Jake Anderson. (And, yes, I completely lost it and went through a handful of tissues during that episode about his sister passing away.)
She Wants Revenge - She Wants Revenge (album)
I've never asked for a song before...or even thought about it that way. But this album is one of my favorites, and I love this band to pieces. I've seen them every single time they've come through my city, in teeny-tiny bars to rock clubs over the years. "Killing Time" is my favorite track -- every time I see them live they'll start noodling the piano line, but never play it...so sad! Anyway, would love something with no proper/given names for the characters, if possible. There's just something so wonderfully anonymous, yet universal about the lyrics. (ETA: I am seriously perplexed at the treatment of songs as characters, so I take back anything I've said I wanted and leave it to the Yule Goat. If this is the fandom you choose, do whatever you want!)
Honestly, my dear, the spirit is in the giving. Please have fun, be enthusiastic, and love what you give me, and I will be the happiest little fangirl ever.
xo,
