Dear Yuletide Author
Hello and season's greetings! I really like all of the fandoms below and will be very happy with a story for any of them.
General
I'm happy with any pairing, any rating, AUs, spoilers and holiday stories. I'm not very keen on genderswap, graphic violence, unremitting angst, non-con, BDSM or mpreg. I love sincere crack, dark humour, happy porn, interesting twists on canon, minor characters and little slices of backstory.
I've put some prompts below but won't mind at all if you'd rather write something else. I got lucky and got lovely fics for Black Books and the Dark is Rising last year, but there are still so many potential stories that I'd love to read for those fandoms!
Flight of the Conchords
Characters requested: Any
A bottle episode! Elevator breaks down during a gig? Road trip? They're all locked in the apartment during a snow storm? I'd love to hear the bickering, and the stories about their pasts that would come out.
I could see pretty much any combination of these characters having hilariously awkward sex. Just sayin'.
If you ship it, I'd kill for a Bret/Jemaine fic where they express their respective sexuality crises and growing feelings via songs. Especially if the songs are terrible, and it leads to the world's weirdest set (that Mel's very happy about).
Oh, and a story where either Mel and Murray saves the day would make me beam with delight. Or how about an AU where Mel is the manager and Murray is the creepy fan?
Cthulhu Mythos - H. P. Lovecraft
Characters requested: Any
I'm a recent Lovecraft convert and am looking for that sense of creeping horror that slithers up the spine. Anything featuring one of the nominated characters or a modern-day descendant would be brilliant, or anything from this list of Lovecraft's unused ideas: http://www.lapetiteclaudine.com/archives/011196.html.
Black Books
Characters requested: Any
I love the holiday episode and really want to know what happened in Canada! Any little snippets from that trip would be amazing.
I firmly believe that each of them keeps a diary and I'd love to read excerpts. How about their respective New Year's Resolutions?
Bernard has his summer girls and Manny suffers from 'Dave's Syndrome'. What happens to Fran in the winter?
Any crossovers involving a weird book coming into the shop - Neverending Story, books that have escaped from the Unseen Library, the gang fall into Jasper Fforde's Bookworld? Or feel free to mock Twilight, 50 Shades etc :)
Dark is Rising
Characters requested: Will Stanton
The world-building was amazing and I would love to read anything exploring that. What did Will and Merriman do between 'The Dark is Rising' and 'Greenwitch', and which other Old Ones or historical/mythical figures did they meet during his training?
(I especially like the non-Arthurian aspects of the mythology - John Wayland Smith, The Hunt etc. Any interesting nuggets of Celtic or Norse mythology that you could be weave in would be absolutely brilliant.)
Post-canon would also be fantastic. What happened after 'The Silver on the Tree' to Will and the Drews? Do they remember anything? Does he encounter any more agents of the Dark? How about the rest of Will's family?
