Yuletide!
Hi, Yuletide author!
Thank you so much for participating!
Things I like: Domesticity! Baking! Knitting! Hijinks! Road trips, adventures, and banter. God - politics. I love fiction about bureaucracy and trade. Law. People who genuinely like each other. Women talking to other women. I have a soft spot, also, for terrible puns, and for teasing, and for absurdity.
In short: I'm all about light-hearted fiction, but I also really REALLY enjoy fiction about trade and politics and wrangling. Obviously this will not necessarily work for some of the fandoms I've picked!
Things I do not like: Misogyny, though if it's just general misanthropy for all sentient life I'm totally for it. Non-con and dubcon - I personally find dubcon harder to read, but. I have a huge humiliation and embarrassment squick, both in and out of sexual settings.
Further details of the fandoms I picked are below, though everything I've said is of course optional and you should feel free to stop reading now if you like!
The Changeover
Laura and Sorry are one of the pairings of my teenage heart, and I'd love to see what they're up to in 15 years from the book - are they still together? Do they live in a cottage in Te Anau, where Sorry goes out on long tramps to study the wildlife? Is Laura writing her doctorate in Wellington? Have they moved overseas?
A Brother's Price
See, okay, I love the romance in this novel, and if you want to write me the story of how one (totally awesome!) young man deals with having 10 powerful sisters as his wives, then I will love it.
But: I love this book partly because every time I read it I have this momentary disassociation near the end where I realise that all of the minor characters - all of them, every single character who gets one line of dialogue, every single person that is passed in the street - are women. And so: 1) I'm interested in the sociology of that (being a) that keeping the species alive is clearly a pressing concern, b) that they've solved this at least partly by keeping some men in forced prostitution, or some equivalent thereof, and c) there are at least some women who pretend to have penises in order to sell sex) and 2) I'd love to see some treatment of lesbianism in that society. [See above for my thoughts on domestic!fic :D]
Rumpole of the Bailey
I am a) a law student, b) a civil servant, and c) a giant politics nerd. Basically, hit me with your criminal procedure, baby!
I Want to Go Home
This book - and I've read it a couple of dozen times - makes me laugh so hard I cry in places. It exactly hits my love of absurdity. That being said, if you were to write Mike and Rudy falling in love and getting married through a series of improbable adventures involving beavers and volleyballs and Mike learning to play the guitar I would not exactly be adverse. :D But gen is also totally fine!
