Yay, Yuletide!
Nov. 3rd, 2006 01:38 pmIt's so cold in my bedroom right now that it actually feels like Christmas. I got my Yuletide assignment today, and I think I can do this. I was a little bit worried about getting someone who wanted Lymondverse, as close to the original as possible, or one of the books I haven't read since I was twelve but signed up for anyway, on a whim--Could I really bring myself to write Brideshead Revisited slash? Thankfully I won't find out this year! But this, I think I can do. Doesn't mean I won't panic next week, but yeah.
It never occurred to me people would actually read Bellatrix/ OFC fic. I love you, HP fandom.
And now--Dear Yuletide Author--
I love you for volunteering to write fic for one of these book/ verses. I love you so much, and I have never not loved a story someone's written for me--I'm easy, really and truly! If you have an idea what you're going to write, carry on. But I know that sometimes it's terrifying just to be given a blank check, so here are some specifics (and generalities). Feel free to use them, or not. Seriously, easy.
Generally speaking, I love angsty, plotty fics rather than porny ones, with plenty of character development and a not unhappy ending. Nothing too sappy, or too melodramatic--but I'd rather everyone didn't die at the end in a fiery, apocalyptic blaze of glory, either. I'm okay with slash, gen, or het, and pretty much any kink is ok so long as it fits in the story.
Um. My favorite characters, by fandom (yes, they are all pretty boys! I am shallow):
Vanished Child series: Reisden. I've read all three of the books, and I love them all equally. I'll be happy with depressed, suicidal Reisden pre-series, or family man Reisden post-series, or very young actor/ student Reisden, or Reisden with Tasy, or Andre de Montfort--any configuration you please!
Melusine series: Felix. I've read both books, and I love both Felix and Mildmay. I'd prefer to see something in which they're together, or at least after they've met, but pre-series Felix would be okay, too. Or, actually, anything, really. Oh--incest is lovely, if it's something you're comfortable with, but if not don't worry about it!
Flambards series: Mark. I've read the books, but not seen the miniseries--but I seem to be the only person, ever, to have shipped Mark/ Christina from the beginning. So, if possible, I'd like something Mark-centric, either with Mark and Christina in/ establishing a relationship, or Mark by himself as a boy or during the war. And I have horses of my own, and do foxhunt a bit, so if this is something you're familiar with I'd love to see it feature in the story.
Amelia Peabody series: Ramses. I love the relationship between Ramses and David, and I'd love to see more of it, with them as brothers/ friends, or as lovers. I'm okay with Nefret and Lia, but not a huge fan--and I would prefer that their children not feature prominently. Action is good, WWI detail is good, Egyptology is great.
So. Um. Hopefully you feel slightly less overwhelmed. And, like I said. Easy.
