Dear Yuletide Author 2018
Latest edit: Oct. 21, 2018
I'm writing this letter to give you a sense of what I'm looking for in a Yuletide story. Many authors like to be given some idea of what their recipient might want as to simplify the writing process. If you find you can't work from any of my suggestions, it's okay; I just wanted to make sure I gave them to you in case they turn out to be helpful. :)
Fandoms: Foo Fighters RPF, Grunge/Alternative Music RPF, Father Knows Best (TV)
Warning: There is some very frank sexual talk in this letter.
In general, I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to pairings, if there's going to be one. Het, slash, femmeslash, threesomes, poly groupings, it's all good. I'm squicked by the extreme stuff; I like my bondage vanilla and flowery, and I'm not into bodily excretions that normally make their home in the sewer. Other squicks/gross outs: Crossdressing and overfeminization of men. Male pregnancy, vore, necrophilia.
Orgasmic secretions are great and much appreciated. I read some of everything - consensual, seduction, dub-con, and non-con unless otherwise noted.
What do I mean when I say "and it turns into sex"? Anything from kissing and petting/groping/caressing, oral, frottage, to going all the way, with moaning/vocalizations. Bringing each other to orgasm would be great. Some dirty talk is cool as long as it doesn't get ridiculous.
Some of these requests have nothing to do with sex, though.
(Any request where I use a character that was not nominated, I am fully aware these are optional, just for the record.)
Requested Fandoms:
Foo Fighters (Music and Bands RPF)
Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Chris Shifflett, Rami Jaffee
Mostly I want Dave/Taylor here and am not incredibly picky. However, I would prefer this happen in the context of an open marriage for both guys rather than a cheating scenario, or AU it so they aren't married.
A few story possibilities, in no particular order (numbered only for ease of listing):
1. Dave and Taylor are two of very few survivors after the world has ended. They're trying to find a way to survive and deal with the loss of their families. Their efforts to comfort each other definitely do not turn into sex. Oh wait, yeah they do. AU this if you need to (change the names of loved ones so the deaths aren't close to reality; I would like for them to have someone to grieve so there's hurt/comfort.)
Please no zombie apocalypse. So over it.
.
Fairly recent images of Dave and Taylor.
2. Something dealing with Taylor's overdose and coma from 2001. It brings about a confession of feelings? Hurt/comfort? Eventual sex?
Dave and Taylor around that age.
3. Something set in the time period between "The Colour and the Shape" and "There is Nothing Left to Lose" (1999) when Dave had the house and home studio in Virginia and spent his days writing/recording songs, drinking, and hanging out with Taylor and Nate Mendel, having cookouts every night. It sounds like a good time. Would appreciate manhandley/rough sex as Dave and Taylor play and try to figure out who tops. Hair pulling, holding each other down, wrist pinning, play wrestling, but all consensual. Nate can "go to the store" a lot. 😃
Baby Foos! Circa 1999. I think Dave has had as many different hair looks as Sam Winchester.
4. Dave has said of the time period before my last request that he had:
"[...] been living in Los Angeles for about a year and a half, just being a drunk, getting fucked up every night and doing horrible shit, and I'd finally gotten sick of that new car smell. So I bought this great house in Virginia and told everyone I was building a studio in the basement."
What kind of "horrible shit"? Can it be sexual? Can Taylor be involved? Would appreciate manhandley/rough sex as Dave and Taylor play and try to figure out who tops. Hair pulling, holding each other down, wrist pinning, play wrestling, but all consensual. This one really isn't that different from my last request, Dave's just in a more vulnerable state.
5. Taylor and Dave are subject to a sex experiment where they're fed very effective aphrodisiacs and locked up in a room together. The stuff slowly starts causing you pain until you work on satisfying those sexual urges. Of course, some dub con would probably be implied here.
6. Ummmmm... although I don't believe it happened in real life, I'd totally go for a story about Dave seducing Frances Bean at 20 (I think that would have been her age at the time) in the back of a car and them going at it. (I'm going to hell for this one.) Would love a long buildup with lots of seductive foreplay where he has to get her really wound up before she reciprocates. Want to make my year? Taylor's there too!! And Frances had no idea they were involved!
Frances Bean
7. Dave and Taylor like playing the Kidnapper sex game, where one pretends to be a crazed fan who kidnaps the other. The "rock star" gets tied up, pampered, caressed, and worshipped, before there is terrific sex. This time, one of them gets waaaay too into it and plots a very elaborate kidnapping scenario where it's done as a complete surprise and is so real, it's scary at first.
8. Dave and Jordyn sometimes get lonely when he is away on tour, so they often set up times to have phone sex, which includes sending each other pics and videos in various states of undress and arousal. During their latest live video session, Taylor walks in on Dave and wants to join in. And Jordyn is totally cool with it! In fact, it turns her on! Throw in Alison if you want. (Femmeslash is awesome too.)
9. Dave is actually some kind of supernatural creature. The band keeps it well hidden. Hunters ala "Supernatural" think Dave is dangerous and needs to die. The rest of the band defend him with their lives and badass fighting/weapons skills. Slash between Dave and Taylor would be appreciated.
10. Dave and Taylor get caught in a pouring rain storm and are drenched from head to foot. Gimme "gotta get out of these wet clothes," shivering, toweling each other off until it becomes sexual and they cuddle for warmth.
11. Taylor/Chris. Spending a fun night together, both get tipsy to drunk. Taylor thinks Chris is hilarious when he's drunk... and cute... and he can't resist his sweet smile and gorgeous blue eyes. Chris is surprised (aka adorably befuddled) when Taylor starts to seduce him, but can't say he doesn't enjoy it.
Chris
12. Dave and Rami! They look good together! What if Dave and Rami have been involved for years and especially love orgies? They are the kings of seduction! One day, they decide to get Taylor and Chris involved. Taylor is all for it, Chris is a bit shy. What moves would Dave and Rami use to get the Foorgie going?
13. Among Dave, Taylor, Rami, and Chris, someone is turned into a vampire and tries to hide it from the others. The bloodlust is too much and people start getting bit. And seduced into bed. And manhandled. No one dies and no one else gets turned, they just feed their bandmate and have lots of sex.
14. Taylor taking care of Dave at home after he broke his leg. You can probably guess that I want a sponge bath and sexual stuff here.
15. Foorgie! A Foo orgie! Not crazy about Pat and Nate being involved (sowwy), but everybody else gets crazy and changes partners halfway through.
16. There's a live video where Dave and Chris are playing guitar facing each other and Dave keeps backing Chris up by coming at him a few steps at a time. It goes so far that he almost backs Chris completely over the edge of the stage! Chris is quite submissive to Dave in this way. In what other ways is Chris submissive to Dave? Seeeexuaaaallyyyy?
17. Taylor Hawkins/Paul Stanley of Kiss: There's a pic out there of Paul Stanley with the Foo Fighters and Paul has his arm around Taylor with his hand pretty low on Taylor's hip. It made me think it might be really cool for Taylor to get seduced and topped by one of his music heroes. (I'll see if I can find the pic and post it.)

If you're uncomfortable writing sex (or just my twisted sex ideas), there are a few ideas that could become Gen here, or just anything featuring happy Dave and Taylor being doofy best friends and having fun would be great.
Grunge/Alternative Music RPF
David Pirner
Also nommed Chris Cornell, Dave Grohl, and Eddie Vedder
These guys were part of the 1990s grunge and alternative music scene as members of the following bands:
David Pirner - Soul Asylum
Chris Cornell - Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog
Dave Grohl - Nirvana, after 1994 - Foo Fighters
Eddie Vedder - Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog
I remember my 1990s grunge and alternative fan years very fondly. MTV still showed videos and all kinds of shows about music! There were certain bands that I loved for their music and some music personalities that I liked for their looks and personae. So first, I would like to get a sex story. Possible pairings below.
David Pirner/Chris Cornell
Prompt: Dave was good friends with Chris in life and sang a song for him at his funeral. Explore what they could have done with each other sexually during their early 90s heydays.
David/Eddie Vedder
David/Dave Grohl
Prompt: Some time after Chris Cornell's death, the two Daves get to talking about him and they discover they both had sex with him. Recounting how it was gets them both excited and they have sex too!
Chris/Dave Grohl
Chris Cornell/Taylor Hawkins (I know this is very optional since Taylor wasn't nommed here)
Dave Grohl/Chris Cornell/Taylor Hawkins sandwich
Big ol' Grunge/Alternative orgie 😄
Don't write sex? Remember that a kissing and light petting story would also make me happy. Or, musicians having fun together, being silly good friends. Scavenger hunt? Trying to find an object hidden in the city by a radio station in order to win a contest? Everyone rallies around Dave Grohl after Kurt Cobain's death, comforting him? Dave is comforted by someone sexually? Oh sorry, sex snuck back in there. 😄
Father Knows Best (TV)
Any
Nommed Jim Anderson, Betty Anderson, Bud Anderson, Cathy Anderson
This request is going to sound crazy, just so you know. Don't panic.
My fondest request for this fandom would be to see what the Andersons' lives would be like if they were dealing with something totally unexpected from a show like this, such as... what if they were a demon hunting family, like on "Supernatural"? (If you do a crossover, what if they interacted with Henry Winchester and the Men of Letters?) What if they investigated haunted houses and dealt with killer ghosts? What if Betty was a vampire slayer? Can you imagine how Bud would feel if he had to not only deal with an overachieving older sister, but one who was a better hunter than him, or one who had saved the world? Jim's a demonologist? An exorcist? Kathy is psychic? There are so many possibilities. How would all of these possible situations be handled differently, it being the 1950s vs. now?
I know, it's nuts, but I have these wonderful mental pictures of Betty and Jim with weapons and Betty delivering some colossal 1950s-style ass kickings.
(I think the only thing I wouldn't like here would be a zombie apocalypse or superhero AU.)
If this is something you simply can't wrap your head around, any story in the same basic vein as the following eps would be awesome.
Favorite episodes/moments:
1). The one where the family acted out the plot of the murder mystery show they'd been watching when the TV went out
2). The one where they listened to the broadcast from the boat caught in the storm and got totally overinvolved
3). The ep from season one where Jim's friend's wife, Jill, stayed with the family. We never saw Jill again. More interaction with Jill/a 'Where is she now?' sort of thing would be cool.
J4). The ep where Kathy broke Betty's treasured pen, and Bud blackmailed her into being his slave, driving her to eventually go after him with a baseball bat
5). Ep where Betty was going out for the lead in the college dance/musical play and was up against a blonde girl who claimed she never practiced but was still a phenomenal dancer. Where is this girl now? What is her life like? I thought she was really interesting.
6). There's an ep somewhere where a girl said something negative about Margaret and Betty said if she said anything else bad about her mother, she would slap her face. Woo! Go Betty! (Love Betty being a moral badass but also being a totally overdramatic teenage girl.)
The Andersons being the same loving, protective, quirky family as always would make me a happy camper. You can find several clips from this show on Youtube. I know Netflix has the DVDs; I don't know about streaming.
There you have it! Hope that was helpful.😊
