Dear Yuletide Author 2021
Thank you for writing for me. I recognize that this is a gift of your time and mental energy so I appreciate it. In general I love Christmas and like to see characters I love enjoying the holiday in their own way. Most of my suggested prompts are holiday fics but I'd be happy with anything especially if it explores the greater family together, be it blood and or chosen family.
I don't mind explict sex but it isn't needed. I do not enjoy potty humor, water sports, scatological acts, or hardcore BDSM (light bondage ie teasing with handcuffs or tieing to the bed can be fun) I really dislike established couples betraying their partners. Also I prefer characters to keep their established sexuality. I ship het couples where there is no established couple. I also don't want AUs like Coffee Shop or University. Canon Divergance AUs are good but I enjoy these characters in their settings.
Knives Out
Marta/Ransom
I ship them but if you want to write mearly friendship I’m good with that. Maybe Marta visits him in jail and they become pen pals. Maybe something else happened while they were on the run together. I just enjoyed them together.
Slings & Arrows
The whole cast
I had a weird thought and would love to see what someone could do with it. It's Christmas and New Burbage is putting on either The Christmas Carol or the musical Scrooge as a gala fundraiser. All the wacky usual suspects are there doing their thing. If you want to set it after the end of the series with Ellen and Geoffrey are together that would be awesome.
Other than the canon couples, I don't care who is with whom. You want Darren and Anna in a drunken post rehersal thing? Go for it? Maria finding herself in bed with Darren in some kind of hate sex ? That would be awesome. Richard and Anna finally getting it on? Great. None of those would also be awesome. Wacky hijinks of putting on another play with Oliver's ghost meddling is an awesome idea too. New Burbage being New Burbage is the key.
The Spy Who Dumped Me
Audrey Stockton
Morgan Freeman
Sebastian Henshaw
I ship Audrey with Sebastian but enjoy the friendship with all three of them. I love me some holiday fic of them on case or just hanging out.
Ten Inch Hero
Boaz Priestly
Tish
I ship Priestly and Tish like Fed Ex. I would love to see their relationship grow. Does he stay “normal” or go back to the funky hair and piercings? Or does he do some combination of of the t-shirts but leave off the piercings and funky hair? I love the group at the sandwich shop and they way they interact so if you want to include them go for it. Does Tish try her tricks on Priestly or has she found the guy who doesn’t need them? What dies she tell Piper and Jen the morning after?
Walker (2021)
Emily Walker
Cordell Walker
August Walker
Stella Walker
I love the cop stuff but the thing I love about the show is the family. I really love the flashbacks to the happy Walker family contrasted with the current dysfunctional on. A happy holiday contrasted with the one while Cordell was undercover would be heartbreakingly good but if the family leads you in a different direction ok. I just really like Cordell and Emily together. If the other Walkers by blood or family acceptance want to make an appearance that would be great as well. If you want to give me Emily and Cordell smut and leave the kids out of it, I wouldn’t be disappointed.
Thank you for writing for me and Happy Holidays,
