Yuletide 2016
Oct. 6th, 2016 11:45 pmYuletide 2016! Already! WHERE DID MY AUTUMN GO.
FIRST, let me tell you that I honestly, honestly mean it when I say I will be happy with anything. YOU ARE THE BEST PERSON EVER for wanting to write one of my slightly oddball requests, and I love you for it. My most favorite fic ever is a Modern AU Austen mixed bag with Mary Bennet/Henry Crawford, and the recs tag on this journal contains everything from XMFC gen about hugs, a quietly badass and irritable lady undercover cop who plays drums, a college fic where everyone is hilarious and adorable and the lead girl eventually finds love, a gen story about a magical house (I also wrote a magical house story, come to think of it). Really and truly, write the story you want to write, and I will be the happiest.

Likes (in no particular order): alternate universes; crossovers; explosions; stories where people grow up and figure themselves out; cuddling; happy endings that have been worked for; love; good dialogue; magical realism; comedy; whimsy; stories that hurt but are hopeful; action/adventure stories (I'm not kidding about the explosions, especially if they have cuddling afterwards); violence; best friends falling in love; threesomes. The thing I might like the most is oddball crossovers or AUs that make too much sense (like the aforementioned Austen fic). But I also love stories that dig deep into canon and make it better or more true or fits perfectly.
Dislikes: stories where no hope can be found; sexual assault as a trope (I've been known to read survivor!fic, but I'd really rather have it not happen at all); or other graphic descriptions of violence against helpless women; bashing of canon het pairings; bleak endings; women being defined entirely by who they're dating. OH. And I have an embarrassment squick.
Fandom-specific:
Arthurian mythology
I've read everything from T.H. White to Mary Stewart to the much older renditions of this myth, and I often love it very much. The thing that has always gotten to me, though, is that I wanted Arthur, Lancelot and Guinevere to end up together. Even twelve-year old Vee thought it was very unfair. So if you could contrive that, I would be incredibly pleased. You might have to move them to a different setting to do it: fair enough.
Black Panther
I should be specific here - I want the "new" comics run, the Nehisi-Coates one. Apart from that, there is very little you could write that I wouldn't be thrilled with. Dig into the mythology, tell me what he did before he came back, find me a way to make him happily in love, hell, even throw in Bucky Barnes as the frozen damsel in distress and demonstrate to the world that this is the best hero in the MCU universe - I realize that necessitates a movie crossover, but I'd be okay with that too.
Henry IV
Ahhhhh, favorite play. (Shakespeare nerd, me.) Here's another OT3 I love - Hal and Hotspur and Hotspur's lovely Kate - but I'd be pleased with anything set here, particularly Hal learning to grow up and all the ways that might go. And if there ends up being magic in this world, or if we have a modern AU, or a crossover with Midsummer Night's Dream--that's okay too.
