Dear Yuletide Writer,
First, THANK YOU. I think of Yuletide as more of an opportunity to write something a little different than request something to exacting specifications, so whatever you write is more like a totally awesome bonus than the entire reason I'm participating. In other words, NO PRESSURE. This, and my comments on the assignment, are really just suggestions in case you'd like some.
The most important thing really is no deathfic and I prefer a happy ending. I don't mind working for the happy ending; angst that ends well is splendid. Downer endings, though, kinda bum me out. I do tend to read and write romances, and smut, but that doesn't mean I'm expecting that here. Gen is fantastic too, as I'm thinking about my love for the characters and their interaction; I've written genfic myself for Yuletide. However when it comes to smut I do love dirty talk and an equal balance of forces.
Don't think that my prompts are there to guide you in any particular direction; they're more like thought starters and you can feel free to ignore them. I'm not a freak about plot-in many of the stories I love nothing really happens except maybe an internal change in a character or an emotional realization. Characters are always more important to me than plot and I adore great conversation. So feel free to have them just sitting around drinking coffee and talking about great Heart songs, or have them find a way to Save the World from Certain Destruction, or anything in between!
Specifics:
Community: Shirley Bennett. I just want fun fic with Shirley. She could be on her own, perhaps baking, or having a day with the boys and the baby. Ship her with Andre, or it could be something from before he came back with--really anyone but Pierce is fine there. Just respect her, and I prefer it to not be super angsty. No deathfic please.
Rear Window: Songwriter, Miss Lonelyhearts. They are my favorite thing in this movie. Did he notice her near the mailboxes often? What did she think when she heard his songs? Was he secretly playing for her, at that party of his? Was she thinking of him when she was playacting? Tell me, how did they get together? Or perhaps, what happened next? Whatever you have to say about them would be amazing. (No deathfic, please.)
Unstoppable: Frank Barnes Connie Hooper. I don't know about you, but I kinda came out of that movie shipping them. His excellent daughters would think she was pretty cool, and they've already proven their mettle to each other. Is he shy to approach her, or sly? Or does she do the approaching? Do his daughters have to convince him that yes, it's time for a new love? Does Will have to do a little nudging/matchmaking? I love a happy ending, and no deathfic, please.
Whip It: Pash Bliss Cavendar. Just give me Pash and Bliss together, friendship or femslash. Could be that first awkward meeting in person after a year of being away at college, or hanging out after (or at) work, or driving to Austin to see a band, or meeting up many years later, or gosh whatever! No deathfic please, and I'm a sucker for a happy ending.
My recs on delicious and here on LJ aren't that extensive and right now are mostly Star Trek and Rymon. I do write what I like to read, which has been centered on Harry Potter, Idol RPF, and lately Star Trek, plus a pile of one-offs.
Mostly, thank you in advance; I know that anything you do will be awesome, because it will mean more fic for one of these fandoms, and isn't that the whole point?
