Dear Yulegoat
Dear Yule Writer,
Hi! If it's your first yuletide, welcome to the party. If you've been here for years, we've probably seen each other around. I've participated in this fest since 2003, and if you're here to stalk me, feel free to visit my yuletide tag for previous requests, old gifts, and a long list of things I like. :)
Basically, I like happy fics for the dark of the year. I like various 'ship genres but usually have a preference for who's shipped with whom, and it's almost always canon pairings. (Yes, I'm still arguing Diana/Audrey is practically canon. Even now. Shut up. She threw a tank through the church to stop the wedding. And I didn't request that this year.)
The following are prompts and ideas. Some include ideas for possible crossovers with other shows, but consider these suggestions only, and I'd prefer no crossovers with large fandoms. In general, if you're writing about the requested characters, I'm going to be happy.
Piano Man - Billy Joel
Thirty years of listening to this song, and I'd never noticed that Paul, "who never had time for a wife," was chatting up Davey the sailor. (Not married to the spelling on that.) So. For this fandom I would love to read any of the following: Something with Paul and Davey figuring things out. Something about the waitress, including her name, and does she ever go into politics for real? Something about all the patrons and the bartender in the future (does he become a movie star or do community theatre?) perhaps incorporating the previous ideas. If you're feeling really creative and want to stretch, re-imagine it in a space station bar and go from there. Or they're all ghosts who died in a fire at the bar and are doomed to relive the seventies forever. Dunno.
Gargoyles
I love all the nominated characters LIKE PIE. I want all the adventures with David and Fox and Owen being scheming badasses (and possibly having all the sex with each other). I want Owen's non-angsty adventures out-thinking his banishment and dealing with Avalon. I want happy cutesy fics when Angela and her rookery sibs are babies on Avalon being raised by Mummy Katharine and two Daddies. I want Fox going off and having adventures, and dealing with her mother, or with the Pack, or constructing her own Xanatos Gambits. My canon preference is to ignore The Goliath Chronicles but I'm open to something that does the silk purse routine on them. I like the comics. I'm not stepping into the "are they canon?" argument today because I don't care. Ships I sail: Xanatos/Fox, Xanatos/Owen/Fox, Katharine/Tom and Katharine/Magus (not sure if you could make Katharine/Magus/Tom work but I'm open to the idea), and all the canon ships even the competing ships
He-Man (possible crossover with She-Ra)
I want the fic where Queen Marlena and the Sorceress kick ass and take names. Doing so with their daughters would be a bonus ('cause I love Teela and I love Adora), but not required. Doing so with their daughters and Adam (and the rest of the gang) as they help take down the Horde once and for all would be awesome. But one adventure is just fine. Ships I sail: Marlena/Randor, Sorceress/Man-At-Arms, Teela/Adam, Adora/Seahawk
Prehistoric Park (possible crossover with Jurassic Park)
I want the fic whose summary begins, "All was well until ..." with the variations along the lines of, "Bob and Suzanne accidentally go back in time with Nigel," or "the day Nigel brought back a Cro-Magnon," or "some idiot decided the surviving dinosaurs at Isla Soma needed to be rehomed." Basically, let Sod's Law reign. Crack fic and crossovers welcome but please do keep the focus on the requested characters. Maybe Nigel rescues the last dodo bird and it's Gogo from Tiny Toons. Whatever. Ships I sail: Bob/trouble (my family's catchphrase for this show is "Poor Bob"), Nigel/Gryffindor-like stupid bravery, Suzanne/competence in the face of the unknown
Batman Beyond (possible crossover with Justice League Unlimited)
As always, fic about the team dynamics of the Justice League Beyond is my catnip, and Warhawk/Aquagirl is my OTP that wasn't supposed to become canon but hey I'm not objecting. The four of them (or more with Terry and Superman and Virgil and Barda) bickering and fighting bad guys? Awesomesauce. Aquagirl and Warhawk out on a date (especially if you decide to incorporate things like this from the comics)? Awesomesauce. Time-travel shenanigans where they go back to the JL/JLU period and have to avoid their parents? Awesomesauce. Max joins in? Danica? Awesomesauce.
I can't wait to see what you write!
ETA: If you want to participate in Misses Claus(e), Chromatic Yuletide, or Yuleporn via any of my prompts, please feel free. These are all highly relevant to my interests.
