yuletimes it's yuletimes hurrah!
Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold
Gregor Vorbarra, Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan, Ludmilla "Drou" Droushnakovi, Miles Vorkosigan
i have serious Gregor and Drou feelings, and i feel like you can't have Gregor without Miles or Drou without Cordelia (or Koudelka, oh their adorable romance I LOVE THEM). you certainly don't have to write about all these characters; if you feel like you have a good Milesian romp in you or a thoughtful Drou study, i am down for whatever you've got. also love how Cordelia is Gregor's mother figure and their relationship makes me happy in my chest area. other characters i ADORE who were not nominated: Bel and Ivan. i am completely in love with them both. also Leo Graf and the Falling Free quaddies (which sounds like a terrible pop group from 1967). fuck yeah quaddies.
14th Century CE - England RPF
Geoffrey Chaucer, Richard II of England
and then there's these assholes. you can play it straight and totally historically accurate and i'll be happy. you can make it a greek tragedy and i'll be happy. you can be completely silly and ridic and i'll be happy. you can steal wholesale from @LeVostreGC and i'll be over the damn moon. really, anything you want.
Vikings (TV)
Athelstan, Lagertha, Floki, Ragnar Lothbrok
please for the love of the little baby jesus and George Blagden's stupid face just make this shitshow better. this is my bad boyfriend show: it hurts me and i hate myself and i keep coming back. it's AWFUL. and it drives me CRAZY how the creators/writers come up with what could be a brilliant idea and then apparently SEE A FUCKING SQUIRREL OR SOMETHING and drop it totally. it doesn't help that i'm in love with Anglo-Saxon England (i could honestly have some sort of orthographic love affair with the Lindisfarne Gospel) and not only does the show cast them as the villains, but they just get it SO WRONG. but i should shut up; it's the Ancient-Aliens-and-Nazis Channel, not the We-Give-A-Crap-About-Historical-Accuracy Channel. i keep forgetting. ANYWAY. i love Athelstan, i love his tiny little smile in 2x09 when they arrive back home, and i love his weird dual faiths thing he apparently has working for him. I LOVE LAGERTHA. i just. GOD. yknow. LAGERTHA. let me love you, my beautiful badass. Floki is one weird dude, but endlessly fascinating, and i'd love to see the sort of labyrinthine conversations he and Athelstan could have (and i guess mostly i'm just impressed with the writers for sticking with a long game for him all the way through s2). and i figure if you're writing about any of these three, Ragnar's gonna sneak in there anyway so ok then.
Young Wizards - Diane Duane
Nita Callahan, Kit Rodriguez, Carl Romeo, Tom Swale
how much do you love these books? as much as i do? yesssss. only allowed to pick four characters or else Carmela would have been on here too, but ah the vagaries of yuletide. Nita and Kit are probably my T-est of OTPs, as are Tom and Carl (clearly). i'm really not picky at all about what you decide to do with these guys, though i will say that the first three books are my favorites (i imprinted at a very young age), and A Wizard Alone is probably my least. i love S'reee and the whales. i love The Crossings. i love Dairine and Harry and the Lotus and Ed and Fred and Filif and Ronan and Sker'ret. to my enduring shame, i have not read the cat books.
yes please!
humor. slang used appropriately. team/chosen family dynamic. female characters. characters of color. 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; please do not irretrievably break my toys (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. cheesy dialogue. unrealistic portrayals of life/the universe/everything. bad formatting. 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. Shakespeare. Battlestar Galactica (the new one). The West Wing. Black Books. Keen Eddie. Life On Mars (UK). Game Of Thrones. Marvel (comics and MCU). Stargate SG-1. Jossverse (including Dr. Horrible, excepting Dollhouse). Spaced. Welcome To Night Vale. Pacific Rim. Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Orphan Black. Sleepy Hollow.
if you are in doubt about anything, please talk to
shihadchick and/or
lovelokest. these ladies know what i like.
thank you, author! i am so excited that you are geeky about the same tiny fandom that i am and that you are writing a thing! happiest of yuletimes to you!
