Yuletide!
I remembered to sign up for Yuletide!
1. DON'T TRUST THE B IN APARTMENT 23
Tell me the story about JVDB: the man, the myth, the legend. It can be from his POV. It can be an outsider talking about him. It can bring in other characters from Apt23, or other actors you like RPFing, or anything. Make him bros with NPH from the Harold and Kumar movies, I don't care. I just want the most over-the-top fictionalized-JVDB fic you can muster.
For the record, I was a big Creek fan, although I claimed it was totally ~ironic~ and I hated JVDB at the time. (Fourteen-year-old me is APPALLED at current!me's love, I am pretty sure.) My only Creek RPF ship was Michelle Williams/Busy Philipps. I have enjoyed JVDB in basically anything where he's been self-deprecating, and enjoyed laughing at him in any acting role where he was being serious.
FOLLOW YOUR HEART, YULETIDE WRITER. And bring me the most bizarre JVDB you can invoke.
2. LUMATERE CHRONICLES - MELINA MARCHETTA
(Yuletide writer, if you haven't read the Lumatere novels but you don't like the prompt in the fandom you have read, THIS HAS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR FINNIKIN OF THE ROCK. Go, read that, then come back to this.)
One of the things I love best about this series is that, as much as Evanjalin is a role Isaboe plays, Isaboe could not accomplish some of the things Evanjalin does, and Evanjalin could not do the things Isaboe does. Evanjalin isn't just a necessary alias to keep people from knowing Isaboe is alive; as a Mont and a Novice, she means something different to the people of Lumatere than the Queen does. (Think about how different the Future of Lumatere is when represented by Evanjalin than by Isaboe.) And Evanjalin and Isaboe, despite being one person, have very different types of power within the narrative.
Basically, I'm hoping for a story about identity, that explores the multiple characters that make up one person in a very different way than Quintana's make up hers.
By the time Yuletide goes live, I will have read QUINTANA OF CHARYN, but don't worry about canon compliance; anything additional from FROI or QUINTANA is great, but the base of what I want to read comes from FINNIKIN and everything else is gravy.
3. PITCH PERFECT
THIS MOVIE OMG. It is so ridiculous and hilarious and delightful and there's SINGING.
I chose the characters I requested because my main ships from the movie are Cynthia Rose/Stacie and Beca/Chloe, but really, whoever you want to write about is fine. If you aren't going with f/f, I'd prefer gen fic; this is the rare movie where I actually really enjoyed the heterosexual romances, but mostly I care about the relationships among the women in this. BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL SO GREAT.
I know painfully little about music that wasn't either in the soundtrack of a 90s movie or a TV theme song, so if you're going to use specific songs in your fic, it would be super helpful if you include enough information that I can youtube or google the song you're talking about.
4. INCORRIGIBLE CHILDREN OF ASHTON PLACE
I love the delightful voice of the novel, and also the characters. And the word play. And the setting. And the... everything.
The adults are fine, but mostly I'm intrigued by everyone Penelope's age and younger, plus animals. I'd be most excited to hear either about Penelope's time in her school for Poor Bright Females, or the time she spends with the Incorrigibles. But really, anything you write will make me happy. INCORRIGIBLES! :DDDD
Pleaseawoo?
