Santa Letter
Dear Wonderful Gifting Peoples, aka Santas:
Please let me start by saying "OMG, Yay! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
…
Ahem.
On to business. I put you all in one post because I figure it couldn't hurt to let you have easy access to my other wishes, particularly since my taste in kinks and my general love of h/c, meta, and angst will come through in most fandoms, so I might say something insightful to you when talking about another one. Other than that, I would just like to say that I honestly will read and be happy with most things, so if your muses strike you differently, feel free to ignore all my prompting and go with what works for you. I will add that, if in doubt, h/c, angst, and humor are always appreciated. I do like fluff, but I kind of have to be in the mood for it, whereas I'm always in the mood for the others. Also, smut and sex are just fine, but not smut and sex are just fine too (I'm easy to please like that).
Yuletide
The Addams Family - Wednesday
Basically, I adore Wednesday. I love the way she plays deadly games with Pugsley. I love the way she delights in tormenting regular people, particularly small children. I love the way she crosses her arms over her chest to sleep. And I love her relationship with her little boyfriend and the potential they have to grow up to be the next Morticia and Gomez. To name a few.
So any/all of the above in a story would be glee, but like I said before, I really just love everything and anything about her, so let your muses run wild.
Anne McCaffrey - Dragonriders of Pern - Any
As I said in my detail, I really do mean any. However, since there are literally eras of characters, I should perhaps give you a few starting points, no? Well, I particularly love the Rediscovering-Landing-Era where Jaxom/Sharra, Menolly/Sebell, Piemur/Jancis, Robinton, and the others are all changing stuff up. Something about the Landing-centric crew in that era would make my day. (Especially if Ruth talked to one of his favorite peoples that he talks to sometimes, you know?)
However, I also love the original settlers and dragonriders from Dragonsdawn, early Lessa/F'lar, F'lar/F'nor, Menolly's apprentice/journeywoman years, and for that matter, all Harpers in general at any age. (omg, how cute is little Robinton? And heartbreaking? So very very.)
Patricia C Wrede - Enchanted Forest Chronicles - Cimorene, Kazul, Morwen
If you want hints, my favorite books are the first and third. I love the dragon/princess dynamic and the way Cimorene fits/doesn't fit in. I also adore cats in general and Morwen's cats in particular, whether they're spending a lazy (or mischievous) day at home or being dragged off on an adventure. Any of the above would make me happy, or really anything about any of those characters.
V for Vendetta - Evey, V
Okay, I believe my detail was "Particularly their relationship towards the end of the movie." Let me start off by saying that I don't necessarily mean their romantic/sexual relationship. I in no way want to constrain you to an "OMG soul mates 4eva" relationship because I think that their feelings are sufficiently ambiguous for a number of interpretations (and I'd love to read them all).
I'm mostly interested in the time after Evey's second kidnapping (when she ends up in the cell), up until the end, and beyond. Like that kiss - was it love, Stockholm, pity, other? How did V feel when she was in the cell? Things like that.
If that is all way too meta and deep thinky for Yuletide, then I'm really open to anything from the movie. Any chara, any ship, any scene. (Though if you could somehow explain why Gordon and V make their eggs like that in an interesting fic, you would win e-cookies and internets from me!)

Stargate Atlantis - John Sheppard/Rodney McKay/Daniel Jackson
*Pets her pretty, pretty boys* I'm not sure what to say about that, other than that I'm a whore for Mcshep and for Daniel, so combining them is like crack! :D The bunches of whump and hurt that the writers (and fangirls) heap onto all three of them, Daniel and Rodney's geekery, Shep's closet geekery, the amazingness of John's hair, the angst and h/c, John's uber-gene, Daniel's time as an Ascended being, Rodney's brush with Ascension, the hair, the blatant slashyness of the John/Rodney dynamic on screen, the angst, the snark - oh the snark!
Prompt ideas include: Flyboy and Geeks wreaking havoc in Atlantis, something to do with ATA/Ascendidyness, Flyboy and Geeks wreaking havoc Earthside, Jumper antics, any/all getting whumped on a mission, coming out to the city, aliens/alien machines made us do it (but not really, that's just our excuse), Ascended!trio, or any/all getting whumped by something in Atlantis.
Kinks/Fetishes include but are not limited to: blood, whump, h/c, Ascended melding, Ascended sex, bdsm, angst, dom/sub, jumper antics, fetishes, open comlinks, etc
Feel free to ignore any/all of those prompts. Basically, I would deeply adore anything at all with these boys. Like ANYTHING! Any of the above that could be included would also just make my day.
Harry Potter - Harry Potter/Tom Riddle/Ginny Weasley
Oh my epic dark trio! How do I love thee?
If you want to go the meta route, I love how no one ever asks Harry about his side in the war - they assume he will be their little Golden Boy. And yet he and certain Weasleys (Ginny and the twins jump to mind) have so many dark tendencies it is just amazing. And looking at the stuff I write, I seem to have a fetish for making one or two Gryfs go dark side and turning on/torturing the others.
If you don't want to go the meta route, but are still thinking dark, I happily accept Harry and Ginny in a cell being tortured/raped by Voldie. With all sorts of kinks. This isn't a lot of people's cup of tea, I know, but I'll just put it out there because I like it.
Also, I haven't read any, but if you can find a way to make Voldy/Tom all good again and then ship them, I will totally accept that. At the moment, I can't think of many other scenarios, but I'm sure you have something up your sleeves. Basically what I'm saying is that I'm a whore for this trio, so however you picture them happening, just sell me on it. :D
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Buffy Summers/Willow Rosenburg/Xander Harris
I don't mean this in a bad way, but honestly, this request was sort of the "gimmie." I do absolutely love this trio, but it is not absolutely impossible to find. I figured that anyone with a basic understanding of the show would be able to give me a little story about them, so no one is stuck looking at my list like, "this woman is insane!"
That said, a prompt for this trio that I would love to see would be anything during or after Buffy's encounter with the Psych ward AU in season 6. Durring the episode when Buffy's trying to kill the others, shmoopy h/c afterwards, the AU-verse Will/Xan/Buffy relationship, etc. Basically anything having anything to do with this episode would be so amazing.
Other ideas that make me particularly sqeeful for this trio are angsty death/near-death fics, all kinds of h/c, and any mention of/shipping with the vampire versions of the trio. Kinks/fetishes include (but are by no means limited to) blood-play, eyes, bdsm, dom/sub, magic, geekery, angst, h/c, death. But really, as I said above, I will take anything with them in it.
Firefly - River Tam/Kaywinnit Le Fry/Hoburn Wash
I believe my prompt was "Ship maintenance/flying related crises with insanity/sweetness/humor mixed in liberally." Basically I see these three as the ones more in touch with Serenity. (See: Kaylee/Wash with the crazy Ivan in the pilot, River "becoming" Serenity, Kaylee and Wash looking at how Yo-Saf-Bridge has screwed up her wiring either time, River becoming the new pilot, etc). And, in my mind, for that reason, they are the most in touch with each other (See: Heart of Gold, with the pretty line or the Kaylee/River friendship). Yes, I see Kaylee as the one to link the other two together.
So in my mind, that is why they work. I have no idea why they work in your mind, but I am totally willing to find out. :D If you need any kind of prompt, Kaylee with grease on her nose is adorable, Kaylee looking at her cake dress is sad but adorable, River on catwalks is hot, Wash is hilarious, Wash's toys are so cute, and River dancing is gorgeous. I wonder if Wash can dance or if the girls would have to dance alone?
I've got fewer usual kinks with this trio, mostly because they always seemed so light to me, unlike my other ones, and kinks (at least my kinks) tend to run dark. So I usually go with things like feathers in bed and chocolate/strawberries as aphrodisiacs and silk bonds borrowed from Inara, as opposed to blood play, heavy bdsm, and such. However, that isn't to say that I won't gladly try them, just that they aren't as… expected, I guess. If that makes any sense. (If it doesn't, feel free to give me an anon poke and I'll try to clarify).
btvs_santa
Oh, what didn't I ask for from you, wonderful Santa. I think that most of these are fairly self-explanatory, but if you are having trouble, please give me an anon poke and I will hasten to add information.
For fluffy/humor fics: I tend to love the geekyness of Willow, Tara, and Oz, and so I usually read/write things for them with a focus on their geekery. If there is sex, as with my Firefly trio above, I tend to read fewer hardcore kinks/fetishes and more things like body paint, feathers, and magic. However, with Oz being a werewolf, blood play is totally cool.
For dark/angsty fics: As I've said, I do love me some angst. I also appreciate the hurt/comfort aspect of whumping on characters (usually Buffy or Willow) so there can be bits of fluff as well. Kink-wise, I'm pretty much up for anything, but my own personal Buffy fetish is blood-play when the one drinking/licking/whatever isn't a vamp. Also, in this fandom, I have a great love for killing characters, particularly when they don't rise back up and when they love someone. Cause I'm a cruel bitch like that. :D
In general: I appreciate meta, and plots, but random little life/death snippets are good too. Basically, I'm easy to please. Or, at least, I think I'm easy to please. You might be looking at all of that in fear for your sanity, in which case, again making with the anon poke.
Please let me start by saying "OMG, Yay! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
