DYW letter
I'm Sashenka, and this is my first Yuletide, hooray! I almost missed it because I thought signups were later, but I squeaked in just under the wire, and here we are!
My fandoms are Damar Series - Robin McKinley, The Sims (Video Games), Olympics RPF, and Tennis RPF. I love them all, so whichever one you've been matched to me on, I'm really excited! :)
Damar Series - Robin McKinley
(requested characters: Harry Crewe)
I love her to death. Simply love her. I would adore any story you write as long as it's not dark (like, don't kill everyone or torture her or something).
Anything pre-book or post-book would be wonderful, or a missing scene from the book itself. Pre-book, how about Harry and her mother (I love her mother, from the little we get to see of her)? Or an extended look at Harry on the ship journey over, reading all those novels the nice lady lent her?
During the book/post-book: Harry thinking about her Damarian ancestress. Harry having adventures with her kids - teaching her little girl how to swordfight, giving her little boy a piggyback ride. Harry and Senay, either during the book or afterwards - I love their friendship. Harry and Jack - what about a fuller version of that scene where he becomes a Queen's Rider? Harry and Richard - I'd love them having a quiet breakfast together ten years on and talking about how their lives have changed.
Or Harry and Corlath doing just about anything, wherever and whenever. (Corlath is not nominated this year so don't feel you have to include him, but if you felt like writing Harry/Corlath porn I would definitely not say you nay. In fact I would love you forever.)
Anything you write about Harry will be hella awesome, author. :)

The Sims (Video Games)
(requested characters: none)
I would love a story that focused on the Sims 3 world. (Any city.) I just love the Sims stuff like growing cheese & steaks so you can get Omni plants, hanging out in the graveyard so you can catch Deathfish, Woo-Hoo-ing, tinkering with things to upgrade them, the world-weary sighs when the toddlers don't learn to talk fast enough, the way that everyone always dances around guitars, how you can become a ridiculously wealthy author pretty fast all things considered, the way a fire can start and your Brave sim puts it out and then the fire department gets pissed at you for calling them out for no reason, ETC. Just sims-y goodness makes me happy. :D
I'd love a story that focused in on a family. A Sims-based plot would be awesome, but any plot is fine as long as there's tons of Sims-y stuff going on all the time. :D I especially love the Politics, Crime, and Cooking professions, as well as self-employed author-ing, but I love them all.
I don't have special inbuilt fondness for any of the in-game characters in particular, so use any of them you please, or feel free to create your own characters! If all things are equal to you, I'd love a focus on women, particularly queer women - as a girl who likes girls all my Sims families always have two moms.

Olympics RPF
(requested characters: Alexander Ovechkin, Maria Kirilenko)
I'm a Tennis RPF girl, so I'm coming at this from the perspective of someone who LOVES Maria. :D And they're so adorable together! I would love an Olympics story about the two of them - hijinks around Sochi sound perfect, and I'd really enjoy something that had Maria really into the Olympics experience as a spectator instead of a participant, lol. Or maybe they hack each other's Twitter accounts? Or fluffy romance curtainfic (porn is awesome but g-rated is cool too). Or Maria trying to teach Ovi tennis/Ovi trying to teach Maria hockey! Ovi being Maria's towel-boy at practice (this happens IRL, hahahaha)! And/or anything domestic with them hanging around their hotel room and watching various Olympic sports on TV and giving each other backrubs and basically anything. :D
If you're coming at this from Hockey RPF, that's totally fine, teach me to love hockey! (Like Ovi must have taught Maria.) I'd prefer to have other hockey players play a secondary role, though, if that - I really want Ovi & Maria to be the main characters.

Tennis RPF
(requested characters: Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic)
These two are simply hilarious. Either ship fic or bro-hijinks-fic would make me very happy indeed.
I love tennis, obviously, so tennis stuff is great. Maybe they play dubs again and do an actually good job this time! (Or they do a bad job and snipe at each other in their particular version of affection.) Or them hanging out outside of tennis. Or tropey stuff - aliens made them do it, pretend-relationship (that seems like something they might do to play a prank on somebody, haha), woke up being able to read each other's minds, etc. (No a/b/o though, please, or hardcore kinks like sounding/watersports/etc.)
If you do romance, "boys who have feelings but aren't aware of them/avoid talking about them/take far too long to realize are mutually returned" is kind of my favourite thing. :D Also porn is always awesome. :D Particularly if it is very Andy & Novakish. :D
Please don't bash Andy's girlfriend and/or Novak's fiancee - I'm totally fine if you pretend they never existed, or that they broke up with the boys a while ago, but please don't bash them or have Andy & Novak cheating on them.
