Yuletide letter
I'm going to post this (belatedly), because I wasn't going to at first but I've been 20 for 2 hours and I feel like I should be more responsible :P Also, I'm a first-timer with this and it really helped to read my person's letter, so I can see now why they're so valuable.
As you can see, I didn't request anything other than pairings, so feel free to do whatever you please with those 1000 words or more. To help you out a bit, a few of my general dislikes include too much fluff, OOCness, members of the Stu/Sue family. I love angst but I'm a sucker for happy endings (read: not schmoopy/sugary, just happy). I also love twisted relationships (interpret as you wish), the more complicated the better. I heart slash. I heart little details. I heart hot sex that doesn't have to be graphic to convey everything perfectly. I love narration even more than dialogue, although the combination of the two is perfect with me. I'm not the hugest fan of gen fic, but it is also very much appreciated.
On to the fandoms!
Fandom: E.M. Forster - Maurice Pairing: Maurice/Alec
I spent most of the book wanting to bitchslap Clive. I've read and re-read this novel at least 3000 times and I can't get enough of Maurice/Alec, I can't. I would love to read something along the lines of that epilogue Forster intended to write (Alec and Maurice making a living as woodcutters), the one he didn't write because 'epilogues are for Tolstoy' and the whole Great War thing took place and ruined everything. I'd love to read them as back from the war, working/living together, non-permanently bruised and just happy to be back alive. Cookies for Alec's accent and overall wild side being mentioned and for a sex scene :P
Fandom: Y tu mamá también RPF Pairing: Diego Luna/Gael García Bernal
Yes, I know they're married, I know they have offspring. You can include that, I actually enjoy realism in RPF :D But! They were friends before that. They've always been like brothers. They fit together perfectly. I want to see them together. Spending a night away from their families, just rediscovering each other. Look at that clip of The Kiss in YTB for inspiration and go from there. I have so much love for these two men it's unbelievable. Especially for the thought of the two of them together, sharing a bond that needs no words or vows <3
Fandom: Mary Renault - The Charioteer Pairing: Laurie Odell - Ralph Lanyon
Maurice and The Charioteer had the same effect on me. Maybe because I read them both in the same month and haven't stopped reading them since. Anyway. Laurie and Ralph. Ralph and Laurie. Spuddy. Ralph. ONE OF THE BEST PAIRINGS EVER, Y/Y?? *cough* Right, sorry about the outburst. I want them a few years in the future. I want them fighting. I want them making up. I want them making out. I want them in a bed. I want them touching. I want them finally ironing out all the crap between them (Andrew, Bunny, everything else), I want an epic happy ending. The like! :D
Thank you, dearest author. If you manage to read through all that coherence-lacking speech, you will notice that I don't have any defined requests apart from a few ground rules. You may take the suggestions I made plot-wise and stomp on them. I made no specific scenario requests so you could have all the freedom you wanted, but I finally figured a few baselines might help a little.
Thank you so, so much for doing this for me and may you have a happy writing month!
