Dear Yulegoat
*taps* Is this thing on?
Another year, another Yuletide. You can check out my yuletide tag to see my requests and wants/do not wants from yuletides past. I've been doing this since 2003, and it's been a blast every year. I am mtgat/Merlin Missy on AO3.
Basic likes: bright stories for the dark of the year, feel-good apocalypse fics, 1000 words of my OTPs chatting over coffee, madcap casefic adventures with the whole ensemble, magic, romance, angst with a happy ending, non-traditional holidays, and/or food porn. (Regular porn always welcome.)
Basic dislikes: noncon/dubcon, character/actor/writer bashing, original characters, harm to children or animals, harm to heroic characters which is not made better by the end of the story. (I realize this is harder with apocafic. Don't kill off my faves or the kid or the dog, and you're probably okay.)
The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot:
I love this short LIKE PIE. The crochety doctors. McGann's super-busy schedule. Barrowman. Moff and his toys. Georgia, omg, GEORGIA. All the things. I would love to see the continuing adventures of the actors. Maybe they try to launch their own reboot of the series. Maybe some of the other actors from the show try to get in on the deal and/or sabotage it. (Think: Derek Jacobi bickering the whole time with one of the Doctors; Georgia's headache over her dad's antics; actors from the spinoffs popping up with a headshot and a hopeful smile.) Wants: humor, light-hearted poking at the cast in line with the tone of the original short. Do Not Wants: bashing of anyone. I like all the people involved in the production of DW and the spinoffs.
Justice League:
John/Shayera remains my OTP for this fandom. I love all the weird, twisty, angsty parts of their relationship. I am more than happy to ignore the events of the JLBeyond comics continuity if you are. (Seriously. If the John/Shayera shippers could be respectful of John's relationship with Mari, and not fridge her for grate angst!!11, you would think the pros could manage the same thing. And you would be wrong. STILL BITTER.) That said, I love Shayera's friendship with Mari, and I love her friendship with Wally, and I love seeing the entire Big Seven hanging out and kicking butt. It's all good. (And in light of my other requests, feel free to tie in the wacky Egyptian mythology of this series if the spirit so moves you.)
The Mummy Series:
I want all the adventures of Little Evy and Little Jonathan. Their mum and dad, their school days, the mad adventures and terrible scrapes they surely got themselves into. All of it. Were they raised in Egypt? Did they go to school in England? How did their background affect their childhoods, and how did they grow? I haven't seen the third movie and don't care to.
Night at the Museum:
This is an OR request. Maybe you can write about Ahkmenrah's adventures before his current museum. He's had the tablet with him for a long time. (Crossovers with The Mummy franchise are welcome and would make me lol forever.) Alternately, what's it like to be Easter Island Head? He's a giant head. Does he think giant thoughts? Is he just in it for the gum? If those fail you in inspiration, I love Jedidiah/Octavius as the world's tiniest OTP. I plan on seeing the third movie before reveals but do not worry about the continuity.
All of the prompts are suggestions. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
