Dear Yuletide Author
Hello! You're my favourite! If you've already got ideas then go for it, I'm sure I'll love it. If you'd like to know a bit more about my tastes, there is some blathering below.
A lot of what I say below doesn't particularly apply to my Glitch request, I realise! So if you're writing that feel free to skim on down.
I like all kinds of things, really. I love friendships and first times and adventures and ridiculous fandom tropes. Some of my favourite tropes include bodyswap, time loops, huddling for warmth, undercover gay and roadtrips. I love worldbuilding and introspection and people who are bad at expressing their feelings but figure out how to do it anyway.
With all of my requests I am very happy with gen or shipfic, and if you want to throw in extra characters that's completely fine because I love everyone and am easy to please that way. In each case the characters I've picked are bff groups I adore entirely and just want to smoosh together in whatever capacity, so. If you want to write 1000 words about Troy, Abed and Annie taking a nap and watching TV that is MORE than fine, and if you want to write 5000 words of plotty, political fic about Dax and Kira that is also great. I just want to hang out with them a bit in whatever capacity suits you best.
Any rating is a-okay with me, I really don't have a preference - everything from gen through makeouts to sex is great. I'm very happy to read any kinks you're interested in writing/that suit the characters, and I have a particular fondness for things in the dressup and roleplay range. My main request is that everything is a) consensual and b) sober, I don't personally like the plot device of 'a confesses feelings to/kisses/sleeps with b while drunk, has regrets/freak out etc in the morning'.
Doctor Who RPF
Matt, Karen & Arthur
Oh gosh, I would adore gen or OT3 fic about these three. A day screwing around behind the scenes or having adventures in the States or a slow-building romance or anything that you like, really. Any rating is fine, and I prefer you either handwave the actors' real life relationships or have an open relationship/poly agreement set up than going the infidelity route.
So, as even a cursory glance around this journal will tell you, I HAVE LOTS OF FEELINGS ABOUT DOCTOR WHO. And it is sort of baffling to me that there is very little RPF out there when it practically writes itself. I love how they are all massive jerks to each other and then super complimentary as soon as they're talking to a camera or something. A whole story just with them making fun of each other would make me laugh and laugh. But I love how close they are and the fact they hang out all the time when not filming even though you'd think they'd get sick of each other, and also they have THE BEST FACES.
As far as 'canon' goes, feel free to either make stuff up or pick up things from interviews and Confidential etc, I don't mind either way. Although one thing that I'd love to see included in a story sometime is something Alex mentioned in an interview with Craig Ferguson, which is that they all live in the same block of flats while filming. I am just saying. I'm also intrigued by the fact that Matt and Arthur were in a play together before Doctor Who, and the fact that none of them seem to be very good at having clear lines between where their characters end and they begin is sort of the best thing ever. (Like I say above, I do like dressup and roleplay if you want to do something in that direction!)
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Jadzia Dax & Kira Nerys
I adore these two. Friendship or femslash fic are equally welcome, but I'd just love to read about them being awesome together. Having fun on the holodeck, chatting during a dull shift in Ops, or going on a big, plotty space adventure, it's all good. Feel free to toss in any of the other DS9 characters as I adore them all.
FORMATIVE HEROINES. I had -- wait, have -- such a schoolgirl crush on Dax you do not even know. :D I just love these two awesome, fascinating, complicated women and their incredibly great friendship. I love Dax's relationship with her past lives and how that impacts her sense of self in a number of ways, including gender and sexuality, and I love Kira's faith and history of violence and inner conflicts and I just have a lot of feelings about them both, basically. Also they have adorable holodeck adventures eeeee. I'd love to read about them swapping stories about their lives before the station, or slowly figuring out how to start up a relationship, or having adventures.
I also love the general world of DS9 - the slightly ramshackle nature of things, the politics, the great team. I love Sisko's relationships with both Dax and Kira if you want to throw in a side of that.
Glitch (video game)
Write whatever your heart desires and I'll be DELIGHTED, I love this game. A creation story would be kind of awesome, or maybe some backstory for some of the Street Vendors or I don't even know.
Heeeeee, I'm so glad this got nominated. I play this game ALL THE TIME and am really amused and intrigued by the world of the game. Please, tell me more! I spend a lot of my time in Groddle Forest (I live in Pasha's Place) as well going on mining expeditions up to Pollokoo and spice foraging expeditions in Ix if you want to focus on a specific area, but I've travelled around the place quite a lot. this is my profile page if that's of any help.
Community
Troy, Abed and Annie
omg Troy and Abed and Annie I love them so much. Gen is great, OT3 is great, Troy/Abed+Annie is great, basically I think they're all adorable and I want to squish them. I would love to just read something really domestic about their roommate adventures or a getting-together story in whatever combination, but a big adventure would also be great, or a genre spoof piece, or something about them watching Inspector Spacetime together or anything, really. They're the best. Feel free to throw in the other characters too, especially Shirley and Britta. <3
The great thing about Community is how you can do absolutely any genre. So if you want to write something where they are very seriously - or not so seriously - playing at exploring a fantasy world or travelling on a space ship or anything else, go for it, or a domestic/everyday slice of life would be just as great. I love the way the three of them complement each other in their various weirdnesses and how they operate as a found family. I also love the way they are learning to accommodate each other and learning to be flexible to fit around each other's needs and generally figuring themselves out. Future fic is also great.
I think that's all I've got! If you any questions feel free to comment anonymously below.
