Dear Yuletide Writer
Dear Yuletide Writer,
I hope you will have fun with the assignment and have a great Yuletide experience! I included what I think the important points are in my sign-up sheet, but below you will find more information if you need it. If you have your own ideas and want to run with them, please do!
Shinhwa RPF: I love them all! Gorgeous, great, crazy, adorkable Shinhwa. Anything set within the K-pop world of Shinhwa, or an AU based on one of their music videos, would be awesome. Friendship and/or bromance would be fine, but if slash (of any rating) inspires you, that would be a welcome tasty treat. Any pairings work for me. Story prompt possibilities: chaos ensues while filming their TV show; a reunion after military dury; mishaps and hijinks from their dorm-living days; road trip; or a simple night out on the town. I figure this is my longshot request, so anything with Shinhwa would make me dizzy with happiness.
* Shinhwa clips come and go on YouTube, but there's usually a pretty good selection available, though they may not be subtitled, if that's a concern.
Psmith (P.G. Wodehouse): I love Psmith, I love Mike, and I love their friendship so much. I'd love a little idyll capturing the humor and affection of Wodehouse's world, set any time during their relationship. I love Eve and Phyllis, too, so if you want to bring them into the story, please do. Story prompt possibilities: Psmith, Barrister; Mike on the farm; Psmith tending to an ill Mike; something rummy with a cricket match; or further American adventures of Mike & Psmith. For this one, I'd prefer nothing sexy or naughty.
I Spy: What I love about I Spy is Scotty, Kelly, their banter, and the bitter world of espionage glammed with international locations. Key between them is their trust and reliance on one another; they will never give up on each other. Anything that captures their trust in each other and the mutual "I got your back" would make me deliriously happy. If you want to slash them, I would be on board for that; I would be equally happy with no slash, but a story where they work together and rely on each other with all the intensity that the TV show portrayed. Story prompt possibilities: stranded on an island; a case gone wrong; a case gone right (for a change).
Sungkyunkwan Scandal: I loved this series for the plot, the drama, and the charismatic characters. Jaeshin and Yongha stole my heart, individually and together. :)
Jaeshin and Yongha slash (of any rating) would make me happiest, but if you'd rather stay with camaraderie or bromance, that's equally wonderful. I love how they know and understand each other beneath their facades, and a story showing me something of that would be great. There are possibilities for missing scenes, or an action plot, or they solve a problem/mystery together.
For the question of historical accuracy, I'm happy to stay within the history presented in the series, but if you enjoy historical research, go for it. FWIW, I'm not familiar with the book version.
* Sungkyunkwan Scandal is available on DVD, and there are some clips on YouTube. I watched it on KBS World and am used to the romanization they used in their subtitles, but please use the romanized spellings you like best.
Most of all, I hope you enjoy writing the story and find Yuletide as exciting, satisfying, and fun as I do!
