Dear Yuletide Author
Dear Yuletide Author:
First of all: Thank you! I'm so glad you wanted to write one of the fandoms I asked for. I hope you have as much fun as I intend to.
In general, I like my endings happy, though hopeful works, too. I like snark. I like long and plotty if I can get it, but I like characterization and the characters being who they should be in the frame of their story. Please, no aus.
Specifics:
:
I love me some queer pirates, and while my focus has mostly been on Flint/Silver, what I've been craving and not getting is one really good Jack/Charles story. I'd love anything from when they met through to revenge-fueled Jack. They have a great dynamic, even when they're on the outs, and obviously Jack spent a large time trying to convince himself he didn't care that much and really, really does. Please no denigrating of the Anne/Jack relationship (I tend to think Anne is okay with Jack doing whatever, as long as he doesn't make HER be involved), and I'd love it if she even played a role in the story.
Temeraire:
I loved Tharkay since we first saw in the books, and then I got to the last novel and...AW! As I said in my prompt, I'd take almost anything with the two of them as a pair. If you want to throw in some Temeraire matchmaking (though he will obviously be disappointed there will be no eggs for Laurence), that'd be okay, too.
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell
I fell in love with both Childermass (that voice) and Segundus (that determination) and their magical ways in the miniseries, though I've been enjoying the novel since. Again, I'd love to see them doing magic and arguing and falling in love, and maybe going looking for Stephen as Emma wants to know what happened to him, as in the miniseries, at least, he would have just disappeared with only Strange and Norrell having any notion of what happened to him.
Also, I am a total footnote lover, if you can do it. :-)
