redrikkiDear 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.
DNW: I’m not interested in anything seasonal or holiday-related. No smut please, either.
Thanks again for your sure-to-be-awesome fic.
Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis: Eileen O'Reilly, Polly Churchill, Colin Templer
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 a little uplifted. Remind me that love transcends time and death and make me cry. 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.
MIsfits (TV 2009): Nathan Young, Kelly Bailey, Alisha Daniels, Curtis Donovan
I loved season one, enjoyed season two, and am forever grateful that the series ended with the milk man episode. I really enjoyed the way the show blended some fairly dark stuff with absurdist humor and snappy dialog. Nathan is my favorite character, but I enjoy them all. I could only list four for the request, but I’d love something with all the ASBO Five, especially something focusing on the underused relationships in the show.
Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts: Kipo Oak, Wolf
This is a truly heartwarming show with gorgeous world building, great music, and an even better message. The relationship between Kipo and Wolf gives me life. I'd love something focusing on their relationship. Shippy or platonic, it is up to you. Feel free to include any of the other core characters too.
Hanna (TV 2019): Clara Mahan, Sandy Philips, Hanna Heller
I've enjoyed a good genetically engineered child soldiers story since Dark Angel. I'm really interested in all the trainees, but Clara is my favorite. A look at their early training? Clara adjusting to life in the woods or the Meadows? I am here for it. Feel free to include the other trainees as well. I kind of low key ship Clara with Hanna and Sandy with Jules, but no smut, please, if you go that route.
