Yuletide 2014
Hello, lovely Yuletide/potential treat writer!
Is it that time of the year already? I missed nominations this year, but that hasn't stopped me from finding plenty of stuff I'm craving fic for among the tags. I love writing my yearly Yuletide fic just as much as I enjoy recieving one. If my prompts aren't working for you or you need more detail, don't hesitate to contact me with questions. So, getting right to it...
General Likes: Hurt/comfort that's brutally heavy on the hurt. Focus on characters rather than setting/worldbuilding. Plot! Having to earn a happy ending. Happy/optamistic endings. Fics that can fit neatly into canon.
Kinky Likes: Twosomes/threesomes/moresomes. Tentacles, fisting, pegging, noncon, frustration, bondage, bloodplay, sexual violence. Porn with plot.
General Dislikes: Issuefic, slice of life, fics stuck in a character's head. I'd usually say don't worry about triggering me. HOWEVER! Several months ago my estranged father killed himself, and I'm still dealing with legal stuff and people from his life who are not fond of me. Drama bomb, I know, but if you could steer clear of suicide and family stuff, that'd be great. Characters making their own family out of the people in their lives is fine, welcome even. Just no typical family stuff or family drama. I realize that in at least of these fandoms, a suicide attempt happens. Family stuff also happens. I'm not so sensitive you can't make mention of it. Just don't dwell on it or make it central to the plot, pretty please. If it's unavoidable, don't stress over it. ex. I'd sooner have fic with Kirsty and Julia than no fic because someone wasn't sure whether or not it would bother me... Anyway. Moving on!
Kinky Dislikes: (What an awkward thing to move on to. OMFG,) Anything involving bodily functions. Noncon followed up by all-healing vanilla sex. Dubcon portrayed as consensual sex. Unless there's a good reason for it, consent falling into a gray area will not turn me on. That said, sex pollen and drunken mistake sex where both parties are out-of-it is fine.
Night Watch - Kay Langrish
I loved Kay. I need more.
If you wanted to keep moving even further backward with her, I'd love to see more scenes from her life, involving Mickey and maybe her formative years. Despite the storytelling methods, I'd love some fic taking place in the future. I'd really adore some Kay/Viv. Viv just had such bad luck with men, while reading the book, I was dying to see her reluctantly fall for Kay; Kay treating her like a queen, some awkwardness and maybe working through issues at work with Helen, when everyone realizes their connectons to one another. I don't think Viv was nommed though, so no worries if that prompt isn't your thing.
I don't really want to see Kay with an OC or Mickey or get back with Helen. I'd love to see her find some happiness, even if lasting romance isn't in the cards for her. None of my darker kinks in this one please, though excplicit stuff is very welcome.
Re-Animator (1985) - Herbert West, Daniel Cain, Megan Halsey
Oh, goodness gracious, yes. I'd love me some horror movie OT3. Barbara Crampton and Jeffery Combs; beautiful, wonderful, shining stars I adore. There's so much I'd like to see fic'd with these two, you're welcome to just run with anything.
In general, I'd like to see Megan still alive. I'd prefer her as a re-animated monster girl to timeline AU; made up of her own parts and not just her heart. Maybe Herbert has been hiding her somewhere and goes to get her once he's out of prison, as a peace offering to Daniel. Herbert and Megan both seemed to pretty much love Daniel and resent eachother. I'd love to see those two negotiate some kind of relationship and get closer... while Daniel is just very uncomfortable with the entire thing.
Even if threesomes aren't your thing, I'd love to see these three working together. Even if it's in a platonic way.
As far as kinky stuff goes with this one... Herbert West is a pompous little dweb and has some creations that tend to attack him and I have some dark kinks that would be perfect here. So, if porn is your thing...
Feel free to work explicit stuff into any other type of fic if you'd like. Fluff, sprawling epic featuring a lot of Lovecraftian mythos, even hurt/comfort would be especially welcome. Herbert West is just one of those characters I want to see hurt or taken down a peg while alternatingly thinking they're precious and to be protected at all cost.
If you want to figure out some way to do a Re-Animator/From Beyond crossover, that could be awesome. Oh! Or even horror movie AU's or crossovers. Like, You're Next or Would You Rather, but Re-Animator characters. I'm just going on Barbara Crampton and Jeffery Combs tangents now. Not a fan of RPF, I just have a tendency to associate all their movies together in my brain.
I'm excited to see whatever you do with this particular, under-ficced fandom.
Borderlands - Handsome Jack
This one won't be expanded upon until I beat the new game. I can't imagine I won't be finished playing the Pre-Sequel by the time assignments go out. I've had a very nice Handsome Jack fic for Yuletide before, but now there's new canon to work with! I'm not 100% on what I'll want.
As far as porn goes, I can safely say some violent Nisha/Jack would be oh-so-appreciated. After the Reddit AMA, I'm pretty sold on those two.
Regular prompt incoming soon, though.
Edit: Assignments went out sooner than I'd anticipated, and I'm so busy this week. AAAGH. If this is what we matched on, a million apologies. I will aim to have something up by, at the latest, Sunday.
Edit edit: Apparently, I lied. Things got hectic at work and home. I haven't had time to do much of anything. Hopefully, I'll have a few days to myself come Wednesday.
Edit edit edit: I finally got some days off, but I still haven't beaten the Pre-Sequel. That said, things are going about as expected. I'm nearly done with the game, but the prompt stuff I had in mind hasn't changed at all. If you matched with me on this (Unlikely, but if you did I AM SO SORRY) you deserve a prompt. I went ahead and glanced at spoilers just to check and, yeah, my prompts likely aren't gonna change.
I only really like the villains in Borderlands. I don't get the existence of the "good guys". The Pre-Sequel tried to play a bit with morality, but still didn't quite get it. It's just a crapsack universe. I'm not sure if it's the eridium or what, but there are very, very few good people... any even they're mildly insane and likely to flat out murder someone over petty disputes. Starting out, I honestly thought that's why the Hyperion respawn machines that digistruct you a new body existed... but those only seem to be used selectively and are acknowledged by characters just enough to frustrate me narratively.
So, yeah, I only like the villains, because they're treated by the narrative like all the characters should probably be treated. If anything, characters like Jack and Zarpadon seem like they started out as much nicer people than the vault hunters in previous games... Except for, I assume, Roland and a few other lawful good characters. (Most of whom end up dead.)
Since Handsome Jack is the character I requested; His grandmother tortures him with a buzzsaw growing up, it's implied his Siren daughter accidentally kills her mom... I assumed, and then all the shit in the Pre-Sequel. I'd really like to see a better character study than the Pre-Sequel. I'd love to see the whole thing played straight, with the inconsistent worldbuilding and psychopathic universe acknowledged.
Or you could just write bittersweet (or porny... or both) Jack/Nisha. I'd adore that too.
Hellraiser (es) - Julia Cotton, Kirsty Cotton
I normally request Kirsty/Pinhead most years, but there weren't many cenobites nommed this time, and... You know what? That's absolutely fine. I would absolute adore some Julia fic. She is probably my favorite villain in any horror movie ever. I just adore her.
I'd love to see what becomes of her after the movies. Hopefully, she's still living it up in the Labyrinth. It seems highly unlikely that she actually died in a place like that. Considering Kirsty seems so drawn to the Labyrinth, I'd love to see Kirsty and her cross paths again.
This is one of the rare fandoms where I love the worldbuilding as much as the characters. If you want to expand on or play with the whole Hellraiser mythos, (preferablly as it pertains to the first couple of movies) that'd be all kinds of cool.
As for Hellraiser porn... I uh... I would not say no to some badwrong, hedonistic Julia/Kirsty.
I think that's it for now! If you're the sort whole likes to Yuletide stalk, you can find me on my Tumblr occasionally. I don't fic much outside of Yuletide anymore, but you can find what I do write, here. Alternatively, you can find my shameful porn and whump id-fic account here.
Have fun!
