Dear 2019 Yuletide author
Nov. 5th, 2019 10:20 amGeneral fic likes are: sarcastic humour, silly humour, bad puns, weirdness, obscure references, history facts, footnotes, romance, plot filled drama, nonsense filled fluff. I like porn - porn is very rarely a bad thing and there's not much that squicks me, though I'm not wildly into the A/O/B trope. I also like pure gen if romance and/or porn are not your things!
Dislikes: Huge buckets of angst, anything non-con, any infidelity (happy polyam is ok).
And for my requests....
Bloodlust and Bonnets - Emily McGovern
I’ve loved Emily’s work since My Life As A Background Slytherin and this comic is just brilliant. I struggle to say which is my favourite character but Lord Byron (you know, from books) possibly just wins. I would love any more of his ridiculousness, or any of Napoleon’s secret adventures when he’s off doing his own thing, or more of Lucy and Sham’s excruciatingly awkward shuffling towards something that might, in certain lights, be called a relationship. Or more of Lucy being badass, or Sham being badass. Pretty much going to love anything with any of them I think!
17776: What Football Will Look Like in the Future - Jon Bois
(I’m just repeating last years here!)
I’m struggling to talk about this one without being intimidating! I honestly view this as one of the most interesting speculative fiction pieces of the last decade or more, and I would love anything that gives the flavour of the original. My favourite character is Juice and my absolute favourite game is, like Juice, the chapter 10 Denver, Colorado Game 27 (this possibly says something bad about me…). I just love the ridiculous insane chaos of it and if you were to give me any part of this game – a slice of historical play, a look at the fans watching, maybe even a hint of where the damn ball is hiding – then I would be so SO delighted. But give me any of the characters, any of the games – please do make up your own if you like! If you choose to write this one you have the added advantage that I know less than sweet FA about American Football so you can make up any shit you like :)
Anna and the Apocalypse (2017)
This film is just excellent and so much fun! I’m really after a post or during rather than pre-film fic for this one because I would like the zombies at least acknowledged, but other than that go wild. I’m happy with au’s if you want someone particular to survive (not Savage though, maybe kill him again extra hard :p). I’m also happy with crossovers if there’s one that you’ve got a great idea for. I definitely wouldn’t mind if Steph got to have some kind of romantic interest!
Ready or Not (2019)
Grace Le Domas, Becky Le Domas, Daniel Le Domas
I thought all the characters were great in this film but Grace was fantastic and I found Becky and Daniel really interesting – both clear eyed about how completely fucked up the family situation was and dealing with it in different ways.
Really not sure what I’m after from this one but anything that looks at these characters a bit more would be good.
Derry Girls (TV)
Sister Michael (Derry Girls)
God this show is so funny. I love all the characters in it (have a big soft spot for poor Gerry, the dad) but Sister Michael is the blunt, sardonic holder of my heart. I’m happy for a story with her as the focus or just as a very sarcastic commentator on the main action :)
I’m happy with crossovers here if you think Sister Michael would have something to say about any other characters or media too!
Jackalope Wives Series - Ursula Vernon
Grandma Harken (Jackalope Wives)
I like Ursula’s writing so much, and Grandma Harken is brilliant. The harshly honest way she deals with the practicalities of the everyday world and the magical world is quite inspiring. For this I’d just love some more of her life or little adventures. I’m more than happy for any of the other characters to appear in it, or any new ones you think would fit well.
