Yuletide 2017
Oct. 7th, 2017 10:31 amDear Yuletide Writer,
Thank you for agreeing to write a story for me. I’m sure it will be great. Since you probably don’t know me, I guess I should tell you a little bit about my likes/dislikes.
Likes: I usually prefer gen, especially focusing on platonic and familial relationships. I’m interested in found families, biological families, younger siblings, sidekicks, clones with identity issues, friends who become lovers, and friends who don’t. I like crossovers and AUs which reveal interesting aspects of the characters. I enjoy outsider POVs, unreliable narrators, and women being well rounded human beings. I enjoy a good character study and have serious respect for ones with actual plot since that’s something I tend to struggle with. The thing I am really looking for in my Yuletide present is a nice kick in the feels.
Dislikes: I am not into romantic plots and tropes, or graphic sex. I’m not entirely opposed to romance, but I prefer it not to be the focus of the story. I’m not a fan of alternate setting AUs and I don’t really get a/b/o. I have a huge embarrassment/humiliation squick and have issues with infidelity, so please avoid those.
I’m not interested in anything seasonal or holiday-related. Thanks again for your sure-to-be-awesome fic.
Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis: Merope Ward, Polly Churchill, Colin Templer; Michael Davies
This is my go-to series when I need to restore my faith in humanity. I am looking for a story which makes me feel the way the books do: a little sad, but ultimate hopeful and uplifted. Blackout/All Clear are my favorite books of the series. If you could find a way to cross them over with the MCU, Bletchley Girls or Indiana Jones, you would officially be my favorite author.
Powerless (TV 2017): Emily Loche, Jackie, Ron, Van Wayne
This show is a brilliant deconstruction of the superhero genre. I'm fascinated by the world building implications. I'd like a story either focusing on the day-to-day reality of a world where you can randomly be attacked by some Jack O'Lantern-themed villain or a crossover where the team from the office encounters the Batfamily in or out of costume.
Timeless (TV 2016): Lucy Preston, Wyatt Logan, Rufus Carlin, Jiya
History hijinix for the win! Fair warning, I am a professional historian, but don't let that stop you from writing the team fumbling through the American history era of your choice. One of the few fandoms where I'm okay with outright shipping (but no graphic sex). I ship Lucy/Wyatt, Rufus/Jiya, and team threesome.
LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures: Rowan Freemaker, Kordi Freemaker, Zander Freemaker, Naare
This show is both a brilliant spoof of Star Wars and a touching coming-of-age story. I love LEGO's take on canon characters, but the Freemaker family is amazing. I'd like either a story about Rowan's early training with Naare or something focusing on the family on a job for Freemaker Salvage and Repair. He's not on the list, but I love Roger so if you could include him, I would love it. Ditto with Vader and Palpatine. I've currently only seen season 1, but don't let that stop you from introducing stuff from season 2.
