YULETIMES!!!!1
ok, so i know i didn't put a link in my signup form, which i SHOULD HAVE DONE and am TERRIBLY REMISS and NEGLIGENT and i am SORRY, please FORGIVE ME, but hopefully, dear author, you'll find your way here somehow anyway. and if you don't, that's cool too; i think i put enough detail in the form.
ON TO THE GOOD STUFF
The Defenders
Betty Ross, Stephen Strange, Namor the Sub-Mariner, Danny Rand
omg omg DEFENDERS. BETTYYYYYY. i just. I HAVE ALL THE FEELINGS ABOUT BETTY AND I LOVE HER AND HER BIG-ASS SWORD SO MUCH AND I CAN'T STOP CAPSLOCKING ABOUT HER AUUUUUGHHHHH weeping. ahem. coherency, right. i would love team fic, Namor being a dick (because he IS), and Stephen being that weird guy with the books and the words whose backgrounds are occasionally psychedelic, and Danny being a bartender in an eighties flick. AND BETTY. i cannot stress my love of Betty enough. and her big-ass sword. i admit, it's been a while since i've read this comic but I CANNOT RESIST BETTY and when i saw that this was nominated, i was on that shit like whoa.
Galahad - Josh Ritter (song)
Angel of the Holy Grail, Galahad
i LOVE this song. i love snarky angel, doofy galahad, and especially the section "in heaven there's no lamb chops queen guineveres for hand jobs marijuana kenny rogers or ecstasy". and the matter-of-fact-ness of "the angel smoked a cigarette and when he was sure galahad was dead" and just think of the face the angel must be making. and i LOVE the twist at the end. i get full-body shivers of happy when i think about it. i know angels are genderless, but i always thought it should have been a lady angel, myself. go nuts with this one. and remember, josh ritter is a closet medievalist. :D
Hawkeye (comics)
Lucky, Kate Bishop
Pizza Dog is my favorite dog in the whole world. his issue was everything i've ever wanted from a comic AND MORE. and Kate is obviously the best Hawkeye. so with these guys? go crazy. what happens in LA while Kate's foiling Madam Masque's nefarious plans? does Lucky ever get another slice of pizza? do they ever return to sad-sack Clint in New York? all this and more will be revealed... (and ugh how much do i hate myself for not having the new issue yet. UGH. i promise i will be up to date by the time the archive goes live - don't worry about spoiling me for what's available at my local shop.)
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead - Stoppard
Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, The Player
i have been obsessed with this play since i was about 13, and got to see a production of it for the first time this summer. it was AMAZING. literally one of the best few hours of my life. i dig both the proper play version and the movie version (Oldman is my head!Rosencrantz forever), so incorporate one or the other or both, i am not picky about that. i'm really into Guildenstern's need to make sense of everything through language, and i love when Rosencrantz is less derpy than he thinks he is. and the Player, oh what a character he is. make him devious, make him shifty, make him completely magical, whatever. and i fucking ADORE the idea that when the play is over, it just starts up again somewhere else and R&G's tale is never done.
Vikings
Athelstan, Ragnar Lothbrok, Lagertha, Floki
so we're just ignoring basically everything that happened in the last episode, right? right, good. i would love something with the wonderful ot3, and i LOVE first time type fics for them. i love Athelstan and Lagertha's relationship without Ragnar getting in the way as well. the kids are delightful, so if you wanna write them go for it. Floki is one weird dude, but endlessly fascinating, and i'd love to see the sort of labyrinthine conversations he and Athelstan could have. one thing i really love about this show is its historical accuracy (i'm such an Anglo-Saxon nerd, and i could honestly have some sort of orthographic love affair with the Lindisfarne Gospel). (and ok it's not really THAT accurate but IT TRIES THE POOR DEAR)
yes please!
humor. slang used appropriately. team/chosen family dynamic. female characters. characters of color. both at the same time! banter. books. het, slash, and gen. kissing and affection. medieval stuff. alcohol, and the consuming of. unusual formats (if executed well). good dialogue. Witty Banter™. creative swearing. real life. alternate/parallel universes. happy endings, or at least things turning out well, are kind of necessary to me (though you're totally allowed to make me cry on the journey toward a good ending).
no thanks.
over-the-top angst and drama. songfic. crackfic. SPOILERS (get it off get it off oh god). cheesy dialogue. unrealistic portrayals of life/the universe/everything. honestly, i'm pretty easy, as long as it's believable (and people don't spontaneously burst into song or whatever). i'm lucky enough to not have any actual triggers, so this is mainly stuff that makes me hit the back button.
other fandoms i am into:
Star Wars X-Wing. Star Trek (excepting Voyager and Enterprise). Doctor Who (old and new). Neil Gaiman novels. Hobbit+LOTR (books and films). R.E.M. U2. The Beatles. Discworld. Harry Potter (books and films). Douglas Adams novels. Vorkosigan series - L.M. Bujold. Shakespeare. Young Wizards series - Diane Duane. Battlestar Galactica (the new one). The West Wing. Black Books. Keen Eddie. Life On Mars (UK). Marvel. Stargate SG-1. Jossverse (including Dr. Horrible, excepting Dollhouse). Spaced. Sleepy Hollow. Welcome To Night Vale.
if you are ever in doubt about something, please call upon shihadchick and lovelokest. these ladies are rather familiar with my opinions.
author, i am super excited that we are both nerdy about the same tiny fandom, and even though i'm sure i will thank you to an embarrassing degree later, i just wanted to say THANK YOU right now for writing a story for me. <3
