Yuletide Santa
Dear Yuletide Santa
I love you very much. Thank you for choosing one of my fandoms, clearly we both have awesome taste, and for volunteering for Yuletide.
I wish for your sake I could be one of those generous people who say 'write the fic that inspires you and I will love it'. Honestly, if you write deathfic, non-con, or a sad ending I will hate it. Having said that, ANYTHING HAPPY will be fine with me. I know I gave quite detailed prompts, especially for ::koff::Temeraire:: I like detailed prompts myself to inspire me and get a feel for the recipient's tastes, but don't feel you have to write pairings of any kind if you don't want to. Also, I don't care either way about plots, as long as the fic is character-driven. Hell, if you want to write an AU, or a crossover fic (as long as I recognise the other fandom - I have a million shows listed in my interests) or something offbeat feel free to run with it. Or not.
Specifically, if you choose to write Temeraire:
When I was very enthusiastic about the sort of fics I would love to read in this 'verse I was half way through Empire of Ivory. I have now finished it and things have changed OMG!!! If you haven't read it yet and choose to write something set within the first three books, that is awesome too and my prompts are still totally valid. IF, however you've read EoI, and why wouldn't you have?
OMG OMG Riley/Harcourt - If you'd like to explore how their long-distance marriage is working out for them that would be cool.
Clearly, forget everything I said about Laurence/Harcourt fics...unless you can write it so Riley is fine with it. OMG it only just occurred to me - way to set it up for a threesome OMG *is stupidly excited*
Having said all that...Laurence in love with Jane is something I totally failed to see coming and now I'm all about Laurence/Jane FTW!!! So a future-fic where they get together and Laurence is, you know, NOT HUNG FOR TREASON, would be lovely.
But again, don't feel obliged to write a pairing if you don't feel comfortable, Novik's characters are so richly drawn and interesting that something character-driven will rock too.
I'll shut up now.
EDIT OR NOT. Dear God, I hope you haven't already been and gone. You may have noticed that one of the options I suggested was Laurence/Arkady. I'm really hoping you realised that I'd screwed up and had meant Tharkay, and not that I wanted you to slash Laurence with a feral dragon. *headdesk* SORRY. Why do these things happen to me???
