escritoireazulDear Yuletide Author (or anyone else wanting to write me a story),
Yuletide is one of my favorite holiday traditions. I love Yuletide and the excite it generates and the creation of fic. I want you to have a wonderful time writing the story and to tell the story you want to tell. That's what's most important to me.
Okay, so maybe you want to know more about my requests! First, they are in no specific order. I love each of them the same. Second, in general I like women being awesome, bisexual characters (particularly women) treated with respect, happy and healthy polyamory (or at least negotiated and open poly, since one of my favorite threesomes involves a brother, a sister, and their girlfriend - though this is a V not incest - which can be a little twisted, especially with their canon), characters of color treated with respect, people having adventures, werewolves, crossovers, and apocalypses. For Yuletide, I love happy, fun stories. I dislike misogyny and Man Angst, especially White Man Angst.
I love motorcycles and mechanics and beaches and surfing and Hawaii and Washington state and woods and camping and full moons. My favorite time of year is October 1 through February 1 because it encompasses all sorts of things I love, from the month long festival that is Halloween movie marathons and Halloween episodes of tv shows to spending time with loved ones and openly talking about what makes us thankful at Thanksgiving (though Thanksgiving itself, highly problematic) to the December holidays with all their lights to birthdays to New Year's Eve. Good times, even though I hate winter and the cold and snow.
I like all ratings of fic. I like both gen and romantic stories. I like bdsm, particularly with female tops. I'm a big fan of boxing and watching people hit other people (and, uh, reading about people hitting other people, as would work for Yuletide). I'm a big fan of Vin Diesel and his voice. Unf.
I adore crossovers, the more twisty and complicated the better.
I just want to say again that I will love your story. Like I said, this is my favorite time of year and Yuletide is a huge part of that. No pressure! I always love the stories I receive and I really, really want you to have fun with it. Promise.
1) The Fast and the Furious, Cara, Dominic Toretto, Letty Ortiz, Mia Toretto
In my sign-up I said this: I love stories about the twisty dynamics between Letty, Dom, and Mia. I also love stories where the women get to have adventures and be awesome, something the movies are sorely lacking. I like beaches and full moons in stories. For Yuletide, I prefer happier, less angsty stories, but I also think that apocalypse fic can be really cheerful. Please no Brian/Dom.
If you decide to take into account more than just the first movie, specifically Fast & Furious, the fourth movie, I firmly believe Letty is not dead. I also don't believe she just slept while Dom walked away. She let him go because he was so worried, but she was not stupid enough to believe he wouldn't just leave.
I actually have quite a few thoughts about the Fast and the Furious series, in particular the relationship between Dom, Letty, and Mia. Here is my general tag. Here is a post specifically about the girl slash potential between Mia and Letty. Here is a post about the importance of cars to their bonding rituals (men and women alike). Here is the tag for my Fast and the Furious series fic.
Basically it can be summed up as this: Letty and Mia have just as much chemistry as Letty and Dom, which is to say a lot, and I find that intriguing. I also love the exploration of chosen family and banding together over shared interests and to protect each other.
I feel that the women, who are terribly interesting, get ignored far too much in the movies. I'd love to see them having their own adventures, being awesome with their own cars, etc.
2) Ann M Martin - Baby-Sitters Club, Abby Stevenson, Anna Stevenson, Dawn Schafer, Stacey McGill
I wasn't sure whether to request this under BSC or California Diaries, because I do like that Dawn grows up some in the California Diaries, but mostly I prefer the characters from the BSC. I love stories that explore Anna and Abby being friends as well as sisters and stories which explore Dawn and Abby essentially filling the same role in the club, both literally as associate officers but also as the odd one out. Even though Dawn and Mary Anne are best friends, Mary Anne is also best friends with Kristy, so in many ways, Dawn is outside the sets of best friends in the club and Abby definitely is. I love girl slash with Dawn/Abby or Dawn/Stacey, but prefer that to be set in high school or college.
I find it interesting that Dawn will go against her beliefs for love. She does this when it comes to guys a couple times, but she also does this at least once for a girl: Dawn, who hates junk food, sneaks junk food into the hospital for Claudia in Claudia and the Bad Joke.
I don't really have meta for the BSC, but here's a link to my fic tag.
3) The Lost Boys, Maria, Lucy Emerson, Star
I love to see different people's takes on what it's like for Star to have once been a vampire, but no more. I'm also interested in the women having more of a role than mother and/or love interest. For example, I love the idea that Lucy comes from a line of vampire hunting women and that's why Grandpa knew so much about them, or that Maria works at the movie rental because she's hunting them (for whatever reason). No boy slash please.
I've been writing and analyzing in this fandom for over a decade. There's a lot of meta which isn't accessible anymore, unfortunately, but here's a link to the non-fic posts and here's a link to the fic on LJ and here's a link to all the old fic at my website.
4) Cursed, Jimmy, Ellie, Jake
Basically this request can be summed up as: I love werewolves and want them to have happy adventures together as werewolves. I really love the sibling relationship between Ellie and Jimmy and the way they tease each other and get sarcastic, but in the end really love each other.
Also, as with the Fast and the Furious series request, I like poly relationships. One could be among the werewolves. I also enjoy Jimmy/Bo/Brooke as long as Brooke gets to more than just the Female Love Interest.
