I am ridiculously impatient for assignments to come out, by the way.
Dear Yuletide author:
Firstly, THANK YOU. I hope you're excited about writing whichever prompt you can/want because I'm really excited to read it. And now for some extra details that you can disregard completely if they do not help.
I like characters, dialogue, humor, description, interesting uses of language. Plot usually can come right up and bop me over the head and I still go, "Wait, whu?" but if plot is your gig, go for it. I'll be happy. I like gen, m/m or f/f slash, and het. Not into incest, non-con/rape--actually, I'd be really, really happy with gen with any of these prompts. As for extra info about the specific prompts--
Homefront: Would love a glimpse of either Jeff & Ginger or Al & Ann, after the show ended.
Doesn't have to be after the show ended, either; it can be at any point in the show's timeline. Mostly, these are my favorite characters (though really, I love 'em all on this show), and I'd just like to see more of them. :)
Amelia Peabody Emerson books: Would particularly enjoy seeing a/some relationship(s) that don't get explored as much in the books--Walter and Sethos or Walter and David, for example, or Ramses and Walter or Ramses and Sethos. Just a slightly different look at characters who aren't always the focus of the story.
I love Walter and David, and neither of them gets much "screentime" in the books, as it were (but then, the books are awfully full of characters!). David's political leanings and his position as an Egyptian archaeologist and artist married to an Englishwoman don't often get explored as much as I would like. And, well, Walter's just my type of character, being something of an absent-minded scholarly type, and he doesn't get to interact very much with Sethos at all, which could be a whole other interesting dynamic to explore, either before or after he knows Sethos' relationship to himself. So, like I said, some combination of any or all of these characters, and possibly with them doing what they're best at? (Because, seriously, I dig knowledge and have something of an intellectual competence kink.) Would be awesome.
Legend (tv): Mostly want something featuring Huitzilopotchli and Janos (Ernest optional, though he certainly adds to the banter potential).
Awesome, awesome characters! And they have such a great working relationship even before Ernest shows up--actually, something from his perspective on their relationship could be fun, that outsider's point of view, but again, I'm easy.
Albert Campion: Albert Campion, universal uncle. Would really love something involving Albert in one of his jauntier frames of mind.
Books or television version fine for this one, by the way. And, seriously, a lark, something relatively light-hearted in the way Allingham does light-hearted (you know, Albert babbling away while in danger) would be totally awesome. Or not, if you find you want to write something darker.
Like I said, I would be brilliantly happy getting a story from any one of these sources, and you can completely disregard this extra information if you feel like it.
Thanks again, Yuletide author! You're awesome!
