Dear Yuletide Writer
Dear Yuletide Writer,
Firstly thank you for taking on my fic, I know I'll love whatever you write for me.
General fic likes/dislikes
I like a fairly wide range of fics, though I particularly enjoy a bit of world building, five things fic or mythology. I absolutely cannot stand excess embarrassment for characters (American sitcom style 'ha ha look how embarrassed he is' style humour). It's my biggest squick and I seriously cannot read it.
I prefer slash and will only really read het if there is a very strong, self contained woman (see: Numb3rs's Megan Reeves; Lirarel; Life's Dani Reese or Veronica Mars).
I prefer happy endings or at least hopeful ones.
I prefer not to have serious BDSM/Kink/Non-con elements in my fic, a little sprinkling is fine but I'd prefer it not be be a focus.
1. Old Kingdom Series
Nicholas Sayre and Lirael
I would love Nicholas's adventures in the Old Kingdom after the events of Abhorsen or Across the Wall if you've read it. If you want to make it a pairing with Lirael, awesome. If you want to slash him with someone, awesome. If he's just cruising around checking the place out and figuring things out, awesome.
Basically I want Nicholas being awesome and discovering the Old Kingdom. World-building welcome.
(I have also read Clariel if you want to reference or allude to it)
2. Justified
Raylan Givens and Boyd Crowder
These two are my favourite thing ever and I would love fic about their love/hate/obsession. The way the two of them can't quite separate, the way Boyd teases and fights and hates Raylan and yet can't ignore him. I love them and I would love a slash fic exploring this but if that's not something you can do then I'd love a gen fic about much the same things.
I would adore a semi-mythological, atmospheric story about the draw of Harlan and their relationship with it and each other.
I would adore a AU of the series when Boyd was...not in Harlan, not a criminal, a marshal....etc.
I would adore a story that explored the length of their relationship with each other.
But I would probably also adore pretty much any story you wrote about the messed up, emotionally confused and broken relationship these two have with each other and Harlan.
The lack of other characters isn't because I don't want them but so I get matched with someone who would prefer to write Boyd and Raylan. All other characters are very welcome in this story, especially Tim Gutterson and his beautiful sass. (Even as part of an OT3 if it fits into the story.)
3. Death in Paradise
Any
My favourite thing about this show is the old style cosy detective stories where the detective goes off and detects and then draws all the suspects together at the end of reveal the murderer.
I would love a case fic focused on them working as a team and Humphrey being faily. If you want to include his attraction for Camille that's cool but I don't want a fic focused mostly on shipping.
I love the Caribbean setting and the French influence and I would love if this was something you featured. Even more for something about the Caribbean spirituality/legends because I think Humphrey dealing with them would be very entertaining.
