Here we go!
Hello, you wonderful person!
You are already a favorite of mine, because you are giving me what has been my favorite holiday gift for the past five years. I'm so excited already! Many thanks in advance!
Now, a few general things about me, my likes and dislikes. I don't think that there's anything in the 'fandoms' I requested that might have any hints of non-con or anything like that, but not my cup of tea. I'm not a slasher- once again, just not my thing. Now, for positivity, things I like! Though to be clear, this is just to give you some guideline, don't feel like you need to hit everything. I love multiple points of view. I love make-outs (who doesn't), if it feels appropriate. Porn is great, if you're feeling that direction. My favorite trope of all time is Stormed In (i.e. It's Raining/Hailing/Snowing/Zombies Are Attacking Outside, and we are stuck in this Abandoned Cabin/Charming Bed & Breakfast/Haunted Cave, oh how will we ever fill the time...)<---I don't know if that actually applies to any of these fandoms (maybe it's a memory or something), but just putting it out there! Oh! And as this is for Yuletide, if you were to want to do something holiday related, that's totally cool!
Okay, now for specifics...
1) Actor RPF- Anna Kendrick/George Clooney
With these two- anything. They've done one movie together, but I would love to know how they interacted during that shoot, if they've kept up with each other over the past couple of years...Shippy would be wonderful, but gen is of course lovely too.
Like I said, I'll take anything. (Hee, you'll see, a common theme on this page.) I love Hollywood RPF in general, but these two have been a pet 'pairing' of mine for some time. Something just struck me about this dynamic, the young ingenue who is just so damn down-to-earth and the man who is probably The movie star for our generation.

2) Dancing With The Stars RPF- Cheryl Burke/Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Valentin Chmerkovskiy
Cheryl and Maks are my DWTS OTP- even though there has never been anything more than rumors between them. I will take ANYTHING about them, too, from completely imaginary backstory, to 'missing scenes' from DWTS. And Val and Maks just go hand in hand. Bonus points for Val playing the violin!
I'm kind of ridiculously obsessed with this show. Like, I do realize it's probably laughable. And as the pros are the ones who we get to know, season after season, and the 'celebrities' come and go, I'm always far more invested in the relationships between the pros. The way I see it, it's all Disney Family Fun and big, cheesy pageant smiling for the camera, and when the camera swings away, the claws are coming out. Plus, it seems that all the pros have years of history- friendships, rivalries, past romantic entanglements and everyone is gorgeous, sickeningly in shape and running around half naked all the time. What's not to love?
Like I said, Maks and Cheryl have always been my OTP for this show. I'm actually fairly certain he's dating Peta now, but anything involving Maks and Cheryl- friendship, 'ship'ship, anything hinting towards romance, anything at all is just wonderful. There's a lot of history between them, and they make my heart dance (heh, see what I did there) whenever they look at each other.
And of course wherever there's Maks, there's Val. I don't mean to include him as a third in a triangle, just for clarification. Now, if you poke through my journal for the past few weeks, you will see that I've gotten obsessed slightly interested in Val's pairing with Kelly Monaco. I know she's not on the sign-up form, but if you are feeling anything (ANYTHING) in that direction, do not hesitate to run with it!

3) Gossip Girl RPF- Blake Lively/Chace Crawford/Leighton Meester/Penn Badgley
I would love to know sort of the general feeling on set as the final season draws to a close, and I would love a little bit of everyone's point-of-view (but if you're most comfortable with just one or two of the voices, that's just lovely). I'm not *very* shippy with anyone in this crew, but if you were to mention past relations/longing, that's cool.
Sigh. This show has been my baby, and I adore it madly. I'm very sad to see it go, and I would love a take on how all of these 'kids' feel, as they've grown up and come into their own here. Ed wasn't included on the form, but I feel like he's very much so part of the group, so while you are of course under no obligation to include him, please do not feel like you need to exclude him either. One more specific idea I sort of had, was about Blake's marriage, and how this is all really making them feel like they are growing up and moving on. (Past Blake/Penn implications or memories from either side, and any do-see-doing of the rest of cast is more than welcome.)

4) My So-Called Life- Angela Chase/Jordan Catalano
These two are an oldie but goodie for me- I think they end up on my request list every other year. The beauty and curse of MSCL is that we got to see just a preciously tiny glimpse into these characters' lives, and like every other fan, I want to know what happens next. While I DO ship Angela/Jordan (and do NOT ship Angela/Brian, though I don't hate him as a character), I fully realize that theirs was probably not a forever love (or 'love')...still, I wonder how they might have strayed into each other's lives over the years, or at least into each other's thoughts. And they'd be 33 and 35 now- wow, think about it.
I kind of said it all in my sign-up. Just anything would be great! But since you probably gather by now that I am a rather visual person, here are some pretty pictures:

Have fun, and thanks again!
