Dear Yuletide Author...
Dearest Yuletide Author,
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for writing something for me! I promise you that I will enjoy it! The one thing I really want you to do is to have fun and enjoy yourself. I am pretty firm on my dislikes, but as for the actual story, go for it. If there's something you've been wanting to write with these characters that I don't mention here, go for it! That being said, here are some of the things I like and dislike as well as my story ideas.
Likes:
Banter. Oh, I love characters that like to talk, tease and snark and generally connect through words. Fun, snappy dialogue gets me every time.
Happy endings. I'm such a sucker for happy endings and people being content.
Romance. As you might be able to tell from my requests, I'm a big old sap for romance and people figuring themselves out. That being said, by all means go Gen if you want to.
Ladies Being Awesome. I love women being strong and capable and true to themselves.
Dislikes:
Angst. I'm not a big fan of angst for angst's sake. I'd much rather laugh than cry.
Unhappy endings.
No dub-con, rape, incest.
No parodies, please.
No slash, please.
Request 1: North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell UKTV Margaret Hale, John Thornton
I would love anything with these two! Perhaps a scene set early on in their acquaintance or a situation where they find some common ground early on. They have such differing ideals at the beginning, but come to understand and appreciate each other so much.
This pairing also lends itself wonderfully to AU situations. Go wild! I'm a sucker for Richard Armitage's films. Maybe they've been dropped into the Tolkien universe! He's a dwarf and she's a hobbit! Or heck, throw them into that film Into the Storm with all the tornadoes. Maybe they have to face a natural disaster together. Anything!
Request 2: The Watcher in the Woods (1980) Any characters.
This film was highly formative for me when I was a kid. I'd love to see more of the sisters interacting. I'd also love to see how Karen reacts to being brought back after having being gone so long. How much did their experiences affect them? Do they still feel that empathy for each other?
Seriously, I'd love to see anything set in this universe.
Request 3: Ghostbusters (movies) Janine Melnitz, Dana Barrett, Egon Spengler
What I would love to see most is Janine's story. To be perfectly honest, she was highly formative to tiny me and I adore her character, especially in the first film. I'd love to see her side of events in the first film. Or what led her to take the job in the first place. Maybe she and Dana have a chat over coffee post-crazy events. I just want to see what wrangling the Ghostbusters is like from an admin point of view! Does she have her own encounter with a ghost? Anything with Janine! Feel free to throw in the rest of the guys, but it doesn't have to be romantic.
In conclusion, have fun! I love all the characters I've listed and would just love to see them interacting further either outside or within canon.
