Tremendulent!

Dear amazing and wonderful 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 and Dislikes and My Requests )

I hope I've given you a few ideas to go on, but honestly, just enjoy yourself and have fun re-watching the source material! Thank you so much!!!!

I had SUCH a good time writing for Yuletide this year!

i’m a diver, love (and you’re the ocean) - Abigail Ashe/Billy Bones, Silver/Flint - Black Sails for @hiddencait

Summary: “Oh, I do beg your pardon,” Abigail said as she looked up.  She froze when two blue eyes stared down at her. She exhaled, “Oh…”

Billy Bones stared down at her in confusion, but the confusion cleared quickly and recognition flared. Abigail heard a rushing in her ears that reminded her of the sound of water splashing against the hull of a Spanish warship and something stirred in her blood that she thought had long gone dormant.

After several years, Abigail Ashe has returned to England, but her story is far from over.

---

even if you cannot hear my voice - June Moone/Rick Flag - Suicide Squad for jedi-buttercup

Summary: June Moone is not an idiot.  She shouldn’t have picked up that damn idol, all right?  She knows.  God, does she know.  But one little lapse in the name of scientific curiosity does not make her a complete idiot.  She knows that Colonel Waller has plans and those plans include the Enchantress.  June knows this and sees it coming from a mile away.

Rick Flag, however, she does not see coming.  June Moone/Rick Flag RST.  Major spoilers for the movie.

Yuletide was awesome this year! I got the following BRILLIANT story about Janine from the Ghostbusters and it's wonderful!

Everything felt so very close to the surface, and her skin tingled with every swipe of Mr. Thornton’s thumb on her hand. Post the end of the scene on the train platform in the UKTV series.

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. ( Yuletide Requests )

Yuletide is upon us! Check out Yuletide Admin for more info about everything.

This is my brainstorming post for nominations:

Ghostbusters - I really want to either write or receive a Janine and Dana save the word fic.
RED - namely for the ladies
The Watcher in the Woods - this movie was highly formative for me.

Annnd, I'm sure there are others that I will jot down when they come to me. Anyone else participating this year?

Things!

1. The lovely tabaqui asked me to chatter on about Almost Human and since it contains my movie boyfriend Karl Urban, I can so do this.

Almost Human!

I really thought this show had some serious potential. I love films like Blade Runner and I really think if this show had been given another season, it could have gone somewhere cool. The setting is FILLED with all sorts of things they could have done. Imagine every single Phillip K. Dick or Neal Stephenson story - it could have gone into this show. I just want my rain-soaked techno-neuromancer groove show, is that too much to ask?

I liked grumpy!jaded!cop!Karl and Dorian the Super Awesome Android. I've loved Lili Taylor since Mystic Pizza (showing my age again!) and to have her be the boss? Perfection!

Ugh, why cancel the shows with potential? *sulks* I liked having Karl on my telly on a weekly basis. SO disappointing.

2. Yuletide noms are open! Wooo!

3. I've discovered that I've somehow started writing my original thing in first person. It feels good. I'm...going to go for it and see what happens next.

Pics! Would you like pics? ( pretty people! )

Happy Monday! (If that's possible!) ♥
