Hi! And thank you in advance for being so awesome and for writing something that I'm sure to absolutely love. This is my first Yuletide ever (with the exception of last year, when I pitch hit, I missed the sign up like three years in a row) and I'm super excited. I didn't go into a lot of detail in the "optional" tags on the sign up form, but I definitely will here.
Stuff I like: I love fluff when it's written well, and I'm usually a fan of more gen stuff and canon couples than fandom couples. While I'm not a huge slash fan, in the fandoms I've specified wanting it in, I love it. :D I'm a big fan of characterization, and honestly, if the fic isn't heavy on the action, but is good on characterization, I'll love it. I know I didn't request any of his works this year, but I'm a BIG Joss Whedon fan. I love how his stuff keeps you on the edge of your seat and how you never know just what he's going to do because nothing is off limits. No couple is guaranteed to be together forever, no one is guaranteed to not die...I LIVE for that kind of drama. I prefer stuff that takes place within canon timelines to AU, but I'm not against AUs or anything. I love humor. I love to laugh, and I'd love it if there were some bit of humor in the story somewhere.
Stuff I don't like: mpreg, incest, rape, hardcore stuff, most non-canon ships.
Honestly though, I'm pretty easy to please, and I think my requests are pretty specific.
Being Human
I'd really like to either see some normal OT3 stuff (just the trio hanging about being themselves), or some George/Mitchell stuff. I love their dynamic and how everyone always makes the assumption that they're together because they're always attached at the hip, but I'd love to see how they get from the friend part of it all to more than that. I don't mind if it's not explicit, but that'd be fine too. :D I love George getting annoyed over little things and just generally being so GEORGE about everything. He's my absolute favorite character, so I'd love lots of him. If you'd like to write something other than just OT3 fluff, I'd love to see the trio in danger too. Honestly, I'm not very picky when it comes to this fandom, I pretty much love it all.
Skins
I would LOVE some Chris and Jal stuff. We don't get to see a lot of the two of them in canon before what happens to Chris happens, and I love the two of them together. Of course, anyone else can make a cameo too, especially Cassie. It'd be great with Cassie in the mix too, maybe Chris cheats on Jal with Cassie or he almost does. I don't have a preference if it's in the canon timeline or AU, but it'd be fun if it took place in an AU where Chris survives the series.
Chuck
Mostly I just want Chuck and Morgan being BFFs and geeking out under threat of danger or torture. Some of my favorite parts of Chuck are when he has to rely on something other than the Intersect to save him. I'd honestly prefer if there were no Chuck/Morgan, but I don't have a problem if it's Morgan crushing on Chuck and it's unrequited. I'm really not a fan of any Chuck/Casey or Chuck/anyone but Sarah or Morgan though. Also, I don't have a preference at all for when it's set (during the current season or season 1).
Again, thank you, THANK YOU, Yuletide writer in advance for making my first Yuletide so awesome (and my birthday too, which happens to be on Christmas :O) You are awesome.
