YULETIDE 2013
HERE WE GO.
2012. 2011. 2010. 2009. 2008.
THANK YOU
We matched! AMAZING! I'm so pleased and I am so looking forward to waking up on Christmas to a wonderful fic writ by thee. Thank you for your time and effort! Yuletide is my favorite time of year - I'm in love with the full experience, and I hope you have a great time.
FOR YOUR USE, AS NEEDED, ETC: here are some extra deets if you're into such a thing.
THESE ARE THINGS I LOVE:
• Mutual consent between adults
• I like things from PG to R rated
• Ladies are awesome, misogyny is gross
• Yes, this is an incest blog.
• My scripted, long established kink o' my heart is sociopath/good girl otp
• ROBOTS WITH AAAAAAAANGST
• First kisses!
• Separation and return
• SPACE PIRATES AUs
• The fic in my bookmarks
THINGS I AM NOT REALLY FOND OF:
• INFIDELITY. I cannot deal with infidelity in fic. Pining, sure, bring it. Doing something about it? Nope.
• Fluff, rainbows, unicorns
• Non-con, watersports, scat play, domestic abuse, mpreg, and Omegaverse AUs
• Unaddressed homophobia
• Describing a scene in the text as if you're writing a novelization of an existing scene. I've seen it before, don't spell it out for me again
SPECIFICALLY RE: RPF
• I am a huge fan for crunchy bits of canon that are woven into the narrative of any RPF, something that grounds this story in reality. Examples: Benny C's Seychelles Weekend bit in the sky is breaking is directly from this interview. An Artist and a Madman is riddled with things that actually happened to Taylor and John, and chemicals collide is the RPF that made me obsessed with being as canon compliant to IRL. Omg. And The Pup Grows Up is just adorable crack.
• I am NOT AT ALL a fan of referencing fandom-only jokes in RPF and reading the actors as exactly like his/her character.
You are welcome to contact classictammy or take-liberties on tumblr if you have questions!
AND MORE SPECIFIC:
PROMPT ONE
Fandom: Hannibal (TV) RPF
Character: Hugh Dancy; Kacey Rohl; Mads Mikkelsen; Hettienne Park
Optional Details: I love, I love, I love the cast and crew of this amazing, gorgeous, terrifying, phenomenal show. I love every single detail about the behind-the-scenes nonsense they get up to. I love how they've embraced the flower crowns, I love how they're press-ready for all shipping questions AND ARE CLASSY AS FUCK about it, I love how intense they all are about their craft and putting on the best show ever.
I love Hugh Dancy and his obsession with airport carpets (and that his coworkers had no idea about it till SDCC), and his hilarious moratorium on Homeland spoilers from his lovely wife. I love Mads Mikkelsen and his obsession with track suits and how his children inherited the most incredible cheekbones. Kacey Rohl, my sweet hipster princess, is literally my favorite person in the world with her incredible talent and amazing use of social media. DON'T FORGET how Hettienne Park live tweets with her mom and it's simply transcendent!
Anyway. I love all of them and their hijinks. Pick what you love and write it with this caveat: gen and the canon het are my preference, but I'm open to Hugh/Mads if it's one way pining with no actual infidelity. Infidelity is a major squick for me, especially when there are children in the picture.
P.S. Hugh's pumpkins!
Additional links to things and other ramblings: OMG. Okay, here's some more links and things I love about this gd cast:
• IN THE HUGH CAMP: I'm mad about Claire Danes, isn't she fabulous?? I simply love her (and try not to think about the MAJOR INFIDELITY element in the whole inception of Danes-Dancy thing, re: my tw need for infidelity, yikes. MAJOR INFIDELITY ALERT.) And this is my Hugh Dancy tag, and my Hugh Dancy Huh tag, and my Get it, Claire Danes tag. HUGH DANCY IS SO PRETTY OK. I love that they can have a huge BABY OUR DAYS JOBS SUCK SOMETIMES and I can't deal with this arts and crafts tale. And I really really love this behind the scenes story about Hugh needing to take a moment~. And I'm fascinated by this bit of trivia that Hugh could have played Hannibal in Hannibal Rising in an AU. Omg.
• IN THE MADS CAMP: OMG MADS MIKKELSEN HOW DO YOU FACE. What a good face. And his answer to the "What are your better successes in your life?" being "My two children. They are perfect." has me rolling around on the floor, clutching my face happily. And this story about him and his lovely wife, Hanne Jacobsen is adooooooorable. A+ family, A+++++++ cheekbones.
• IN THE HUGH+MADS CAMP: OMG their working relationship, and this crazy story, and omg THEY ARE GREAT, and THESE TWO. I JUST. I MEAN. I really like thinking of them as gen, with maybe some pining that goes back to their King Arthur days. IDK. They have such FEELS about acting and family and such a close friendship/respect. I LOVE THEM.
• IN THE KACEY CAMP: KACEY ROHL IS MY FAVORITE. IT IS THE SADDEST THING OF ALL TIME THAT THERE AREN'T A BILLION IMAGES of Kacey, Mads, and Hugh behind the scenes because Murder Family is the soul of my Hannibal feels, and ARGH I'M SAD ABOUT IT. I WISH I COULD SEE ALL THE HILARITY THEY GOT UP TO, and the irl hugs and Kacey teasing them while also being a little awed, and what Hugh and Mads thought of this story about MAJOR SHIT HAPPENING to get Kacey on board to play Abigail. Also, I love her on social media, she's amazing. Her twitter is amaze and on there, you can see her vines - which are SO GREAT. I love her vines. Her tumblr is super cute and I died of lol when this happened. I super adore her hipster hijinks including being forced to see This is Us and coming out of the movie a weeping Harry girl. Awww yiiis. And while this totally happened, I'd rather not read a fic about it. Too meta.
• IN THE HETTY CAMP: Ermergard, when Hettienne Park started to live tweet Hannibal episodes with her mother, I knew this was going to have to be part of my yuletide request, because oh my god. How precious. Her twitter is amazing, and I love everything about how Bryan Fuller elevated Katz to be a regular character with her name in the credits - there's SEVERELY not enough of her in the show, but I treasure every bit of it!
SO! That was a lot of links and feels! Write what inspires you!

PROMPT TWO
Fandom: X-Men (movies) RPF
Character: Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart
Optional Details: The gen fic of my dreams is actually occurring in real life. Sir Ian said: "We're peers, equals. Not rivals," and my heart went to mush. I want more. Write me some gen hijinks between the two sirs. Alternatively, some fantastical AU like SPACE PIRATES is also more than welcome.
Additional links to things and other ramblings:
Oh my stars and garters. Oh my giddy aunt.
• SIR IAN: His twitter. My tag.
• SIR PATRICK: His twitter. My tag.

PROMPT THREE
Fandom: Cooking Fast and Fresh with West (YouTube Series)
Character: West Collins, Victoria Vantoch
Optional Details: There's a Doctor Who episode where a baby introduces himself to the Doctor as Stormaggedon, the Dark Lord of All. Imagine all that megalomania in West Anaximander Collins. Please write me West Collins POV as the most adorable and most tyrannical future overlord of the universe.
I absolutely want his wonderful and beloved mommy included. You're welcome to include his baby sister in the hijinks, and you're MORE THAN WELCOME to write West having a major crush on Maison if that's your thing. I am certainly welcome to his daddy making a cameo, but please do not include his daddy's coworkers by any means.
Additional links to things and other ramblings:
Welp. West Collins ruins lives. Enough said.
-
PROMPT FOUR
Fandom: Push (2009) RPF
Character: Dakota Fanning, Chris Evans
Optional Details: Since filming Push, they've been total bros for life. Late Sunday night phone calls, cheeky texts, seeing each other at events, bitching about the biz and their respective franchises, the works. Total bros.
Then, Dakota Fanning turned 18 in February 2012. Make like Nick Gant in every Push fic ever and ~~finally~~ get on that, Mr. Evans.
I would prefer that this hook up of my dreamzzzz since 2009 isn't ultimately angsty or schmoopy. The stakes are infinitely lower for Dakota/Chris vs Cassie/Nick, but I'm sure you can make their relationship a wee bit epic in some fashion.
Additional links to things and other ramblings: AAAAAAAAAHHHHH SOMEONE NOMINATED THIS FANDOM AND IT WASN'T ME OR ANY OF MY PUSH BFFS AND I AM JUST SO EXCITED.
Okay, I mean, this ship definitely did come out of watching Push, but it really was inspired when Chris Evans said in this AMAZINGLY adorable interview about the difference between the actor contracts for the Marvel and Twilight films, and it dawned on me that Chris and Dakota must TOTALLY rant at each other about their respective franchises. On weekly Sunday night phone calls or something. Ugh. They are life ruiners.
My Chris tag, my Dakota tag.
ALSO!!! If you can get a hold of the Push DVD with the commentary track, LISTEN TO IT. The director is SUCH a shipper, Dakota has such a crush, and Chris feels delightfully awkward about the whole thing. It's great!!
-
PROMPT FIVE
Fandom: NBC Social Media
Optional Details: NBC has been showing us an interesting take on social media. NBC Hannibal, a program with miserable ratings and rabid fanbase, has perhaps the best social media I've ever seen for a show. NBC Revolution, a show with great ratings and a tiny fandom, has THE WORST. SOCIAL. MEDIA. CAMPAIGN. EVER. Then you have NBC The Blacklist doing a great job of mimicking the success of NBC Hannibal, and NBC Parks and Recreation has always been aces. Also, both NBC The Blacklist and NBC Parks and Recreation got SUPER flirty with the NBC Hannibal tumblr. While they're no @sleepywriters /@ELEMENTARYStaff, I can't witness all of this and NOT request it for yuletide.
Write me fic about it. It can be about the wo/man behind the curtain (what does the NBC Social Media office look like? DO THEY HAVE MEETINGS and rivalries?), it can be anthropomorphic, whatever you want!
Additional links to things and other ramblings:
*~SAD TROMBONE~* No one offered to write in this fandom! So this is for anyone who is trolling through letters:
• HANNIBAL! Twitter! Tumblr!
• THE BLACKLIST! Twitter! Tumblr!
• REVOLUTION! Twitter! Tumblr!
• PARKS AND REC! Twitter! Tumblr!
NBC. YOU ARE DOING SOME AMAZING SHIT WITH SOCIAL MEDIA. Except for Revolution. This is the worst. Comparatively, the worst.

PROMPT SIX
Fandom: King Arthur (2004)
Character: Tristan
Optional Details: If you're 100% a King Arthur fan, please write me some wonderful gen fic about Tristan and his feels. He's got such a taste for killing; why, and how does that affect him?
If you're also a Hannibal fan, you know what to do.
SO TO CONCLUDE. HAVE FUN. And thank you thank you thank you again. XOXO
