So I think I've finally completed my Yuletide sign up... though I'm still tempted to add a couple more requests...
Dear Yuletide Author,
Please don't worry, I am really very easily pleased! But in case you want more information here's some.
I'm not a big fan of overly marshmallow-y fluff type stories. Happy stories are good! In love stories or happy ending stories or all kind of nice things just not fluff with no conflict or point. That said if it's set anywhere near Christmas my liking for fluff goes up hugely *g* When it comes to angst I'm particularly of the yearning wistfulness kind.
I'm a slash fan (although in the case of False Colours- they're brothers and just brothers!) However I am entirely happy to receive gen fic- it's the relationship I'm interested in whether it's friendship or more is a side issue.
Oh and I always love a good Christmas theme though it isn't at all mandatory.
Fandom A City of Bells - Elizabeth Goudge
Characters Gabriel Ferranti, Jocelyn Irvin, Felicity Summers
Optional Details I read this book again earlier this year and I suddenly became fascinated by the realtionshop between the adults. Jocelyn & Felicity spend so much time trying to get inside Gabriel's mind/skin and then he turns up and is possibly going to live with them? Ideally I'd like post-book fic (just this book) or something during the book that looks at them.
This is one of those requests I've been desperate to ask for all year and as long as it's about Gabriel, Jocelyn and Felicity and the way their lives interact I'll be thrilled- anywhere from book appropriate gen to all out threesome or anything in between.
I've never read Elizabeth Goudge fic so anything at all would be amazing.
Fandom False Colours - Georgette Heyer
Characters Kit Fancot, Evelyn Fancot
Optional Details I'd just love to see the twins being twins- getting into scrapes and helping each other out and I don't mind if it's pre-canon (even when they were kids) or post-canon.
I'm rather fond of Cressy so I'd rather she were left out than anything bad happened to her but involve her or not as you wish!
I just love the way Georgette Heyer sketches these two as so close but I'd adore to see the fuller picture *g* I'm equally happily with the two of them as kids making trouble or the two of them as adults getting into scrapes but I'd just like to see more of the twins together than we do in the book.
As I said in the optional details- I like Cressy too so please don't be mean to her *g* and I'm very happy with other characters from the book (or any other Heyer book!) being included or not.
Fandom Son of Rambow
Characters Will Proudfoot, Lee Carter
Optional Details I'd like to see how Lee and Will grow up together or apart, either as teenagers or as adults. But anything post-canon that involves both of them would be good.
I'd be equally happy with slash or gen for this pair. If you go for post-canon I guess I'd like Will and Lee to still be in touch in some way but whilst my inner romantic loves the idea of them being best friends (or something else) forever I quite understand that friendships from when kids are that young don't always exactly last I just think the films events mean they'll always be tied to each other in some way.
I like Lee in his brashness and fierce loyalty and his honesty and his own moral code (I also pretty much adore his brother and the way the two of them clearly love each other). I guess I like Will because he throws himself into things and pretty much believes the best of people but also acknowledged his mistake.
But just them, even them in an missing scene from the film <3
Fandom Chalet School - Elinor Brent Dyer
Characters Jack Maynard
Optional DetailsAny fic with Jack at it's heart would be great. I love the early books so maybe something about when he starts at the San? or something set during the War (having to go away for the 2nd time or his accident).
I like Joey so I'm happy for her to be very involved but I'd really love to see Jack's life away from the school a bit.
Not sure what else to add here- as I said above I just want more Jack! Away from the school or maybe dealing with how he feels about the school... and I like Jack/Joey but then I also like Jack/Jem *G* and any other slash pairing you can think of.
But Jack considering his long family, Jack arriving at the San, jack thinking about his twin far away ALL of these would be great.
