Dear Yuletide Writer,

Thank you SO much for volunteering to write in any one of the fandoms I requested. Some of them have been round for ages, and some are relatively new, but I love them all with the fickleness of my happy little fangirl heart, and any new fic at all is awesome fic in my book.

Generally speaking I chose the pairings I did because they were slashy, but honestly I would be just as happy with something gen that pushed all the same buttons as the original material, namely deep friendship with a side order of banter.

I don't particularly like het, so I'd rather it wasn't there unless it's completely unavoidable. Mentions of ex-wives/wives/girlfriends would be fine, obviously, I've got no desire to erase them from canon, I just don't especially want to have to look at them :D (Except Della Street, omg I love her)

If you *are* going down the slash route, I'm not really fan of kink (although now I come to think of it, Crusoe and ropes would work) so it might be safest to avoid it since I have really rather tame tastes and would choose some sappy cuddling over almost everything any day, no matter how hot it is. One request I do have, please no mpreg, or fpreg, it's a giant squick for me.

Specifically:

Crusoe
As I said in the sign-up, I'd love to read about Friday and Crusoe and their madcap island adventures. I'd really prefer this to be as silly and stupidly cheesy as the series itself, because that's the way I like it. Just exactly how many pulleys *did* wash up from that shipwreck, anyway? Did Robinson Crusoe single-handedly invent orange juice? Why the heck don't they just build their own boat and sail off the island, if they're so good at making things?

Perry Mason
I love almost anything Perry Mason, but most of all Paul Drake. Anything involving Paul and I will be so unbelievably happy. If you'd like to try your take on his backstory, or add a tag to one of the existing cases, it's all good.

The Persuaders
I think my sign-up request just about covers it. Again, cheese-tacular madcap adventures would be *awesome*. I'm not really into the whole angst thing, you might be able to tell. An exotic location, some utterly ridiculous storyline, Danny getting knocked on the head/captured/carried off by pirates so that Brett has to go and rescue him...

Miami Vice
As long as Sonny doesn't come off girlier than he is, I'll be happy. I love him as a beer drinkin' football watchin' Buddy Holly listnin' fishin' kind of guy and I love the way it's him and Rico against the world sometimes, with their little eye-rolls at each other and the way they seem to see things the same unless it's personal. I'd prefer something set seasons 1-3 before it got too Doom Doom Doom Gloom and AAAANGST. Which in itself is awesome, but I do prefer their happier (and mushier) interactions.

Finally, Christmas lunch for me will involve trolling into the next county to visit relatives, so I might not be able to comment on your wonderful wonderful story as quickly as I'd like. That doesn't mean I don't love it and I will comment as soon as I am able to get back to my computer and obsessively checking my email.

Thank you so so much! I will love it!
Love from,
Me.

yuletide
