Dear Yuletide Author
Dear Yuletide Author,
I apologize for the lateness of this letter with ALL OF MY HEART. If it helps in any way at all, I love all of the fandoms I requested and will be happy with literally any fic you write in any of them, no matter if it's not something I mentioned in specific requests - if I enjoyed the canons, I'll probably enjoy more fic about these characters, the end. Ultimately, I want you to write a story you're happy writing. Especially with the late notice I'm giving here, please rest assured that I really will enjoy whatever it is you're writing/you've thought about writing/you're interested in writing, I'm sure, and thank you in advance for your efforts, and once again I apologize for the undue stress.
All that said, if you're still looking for ideas/prompts/any kind of guidance from me, here we go by fandom, most of these copy/pasted from letters from previous years if this isn't the first time I've requested this:
1. Captive Prince (Laurent, Damen)
I love these two, so pretty much anything - a missing scene, or a scene from a (hopefully happy!) future you imagine for them someday.
So I read Captive Prince for the first time last year, and oh my god *___*. Basically I want ALL OF LAURENT AND DAMEN EVER. I know it's a hard canon to write for because of the open canon and the politics and the, ugh, utter amazingness of it basically, which is why I figured the easiest things to write would be either a missing scene or something that takes in the future-after-everything-is-resolved, but if there's anything else you want to write for these two, really, feel free, I just want more of them. If you're looking for (optional optional optional!) ideas, it can be: a quiet moment between Damen and Laurent, a moment where one of them discovers/reveals that he knows something about the other, a moment where one of them decides to trust the other a little bit more, the moment when Damen finally gets the relationship between Laurent and his uncle, the moment one day where Laurent decides to take that leap of faith and believe that Damen loves him. Or just them having sex *__*. Like I said, optional, possibly I spent way too much time fantasizing about what I want to happen to these characters. I love them and anything that gives me more canon about them would be great <3.
2. Belgariad/Malloreon Series - David & Leigh Eddings
This is the fandom of my heart and childhood. The Eddings' books were my favorite fantasy series growing up, and while I enjoyed the plots and actions, my favorite moments were seeing all romances/family relationships slowly unfold, watching characters grow to know and love and trust each other. I didn't nominate this fandom this year, but of the characters nominated I really would love to read about any of them, or their interactions - gen, het or slash, family drama or romance. If you had anything specific in mind when you offered this fandom, go for it. Missing scenes, past scenes, post-series scenes; just getting more of this series makes me happy <3. If you want to focus on other characters that weren't nominated this year, that would probably be totally fine; you can contact me by mod/anon if you want to make sure but I imagine if it was any kind of main character I'be probably be just 'yes, please'.
3. Elenium/Tamuli Series - David & Leigh Eddings
Another fandom of my heart and childhood. I would love to read more about any of the canon couples, or about any slash knight!pairing of your choice <3. Same description as the above Malloreon/Belgariad books I guess and what they mean to me. I would love more canon!couple fluff, either taking place during the book or after it ends. Also knight!slash, because while I wasn't big on it when I read the books, I have since read every Yuletide fic ever written for this series and YES PLEASE. As long as there's no incest or half-brother incest, I'm good. Berit, Khalad, Kalten, Bevier, Talen! Everyone <3 Other topics or characters I haven't mentioned are also absolutely welcome, basically whatever you want to write about these folks.
4. Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) (Hushpuppy)
This was the best movie I saw in 2012 and my favorite and made me cry, and I would love anything you might possibly want to write about Hushpuppy, whether past, present or future of movie canon. Because she is amazing.
5. Hysteria (Charlotte Dalrymple, Mortimer Granville, Edmund St. John-Smythe)
I kind of may possibly ship these three hard! OT3, can also be Mortimer/Charlotte or Mortimer/Edmund, but yes I really love the idea of the three of them together :-) Because this movie made an excellent point about what the vibrator could do for women, but neglected the bit about what it could do for men. I would love an OT3 (or Mortimer/Charlotte or Mortimer/Edmund) story that explores that (Mortimer in particular *__*), although I loved Charlotte and wouldn't want her struck out from the story. If you're more into gen, then just a gen story about these three would be excellent. Or maybe a crossover with Sherlock Holmes. Or any other idea you might have in this fandom.
6. Sound of Music
I've never requested this one from Yuletide before, but I've recently rewatched the film and oh, it fills me with good feelings. I love Maria and the Captain (who, as opposed to my 9-year-old opinion of him, these days looks extremely hot) and the children, I could read anything about the relationships between them - Maria and one (or more) of the kids, her and Georg, him and any of the kids, the kids with each other, something to do with history or politics or song or what life was like in America after, or, again, any other idea you might have. If you want any more ideas just let me know, I can be full of prompts, or just write what you had in mind when you offered this fandom.
*
Okay, so - everything I wrote are just suggestions, and I am a very flexible reader who likes a WHOLE LOT OF STUFF so really, I'm just glad to be getting something in any of these fandoms, and I hope you enjoy the process of writing and participating with minimal stress/freaking out despite my late everything. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to approach me via anonymous comment/the mods. Thank you and have a wonderful yuletide ♥
