Dear Yuletide Writer
Got my assignment! I can do this.. just a matter of getting highly motivated. Right now I've been focusing on writing film reviews. Anyway:
Hello! Thank you for writing me a story! As I say every year I do this, I am very easy going with stories. My only squicks are non-con and bdsm. I do prefer happy endings but please also free feel to go wherever your muse leads you. Oh and please no death :)
My requests and a bit of expansion:
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run (album), Backstreets or Thunder Road
A story about either one of these songs would be wonderful. However, I've always wanted a straight-up interpretation of Backstreets as the song itself is incredibly slashy. I don't know how anyone cannot believe Terry is a guy.
Thunder Road is my favorite song of all-time. Backstreets is right up there too. I'd love an expansion on either story. And as sad, I do have a particular soft spot for the story within Backstreets. I'll always look at it as a m/m teenage love story. Sorry, there's really not much else to say here. With either of these, I wouldn't mind if you did make it a wistful ending. Again, whatever you come up with would absolutely thrill me.
RequestFandom2: Breaking Away (1979)
RequestFandomChar2: Any
RequestDetail2: One of my favorite films. Absolutely anything you come up with would be great
I suggested this fandom tihs year. One of my favorite films. I honestly do not care which character you focus on as I think every single one has something unique to them. You could even write about the parents, totally fine with me! You could go the slashy route if you wish although I didn't find the film overtly slashy. Still, there's a lot of pain within Dennis Quaid's character, and exploring the complexity of him along with maybe some comfort would be fine.
RequestFandom3: The Crane Wife songs - The Decemberists (song)
RequestFandomChar3: The Crane Wife/The Man
RequestDetail3: You could do a straight-up interpretation of either The Crane Wife (1 and 2), The Crane Wife 3, or both. I'm not picky. Anything regarding this song would be gorgeous.
Another fandom I suggested. The detail within these songs, the imagery they provoke is gorgeous. I like the Crane Wife 1 and 2 mildly more. The Crane Wife has always reminded me as a cross between Ladyhawke and Stardust. What you do with the details of the orgin story is so intriguing to me. You can name 'The Man' whatever you wish. I listed him as 'The Man' in my original nomination because we are never given a name.
RequestFandom4: Mo Willems - Elephant and Piggie and Pigeon Books
RequestFandomChar4: Any
RequestDetail4: Anything written in the tone of the books would be so great.
Oh Mo Willems! Oh Elephant and Piggie! Another fandom I suggested this year. I listed the pigeon here even though he does have his own books. Feel free to cross them over if you wish. I also mentioned Doctor Cat who was introduced in the latest book. I love that we get to meet a new character. Again really anything light and fun within the writing style and tone of the books. Please don't make elephant and piggie have graphic sex, okay? lol. I think they definately love each other and you could do something like 'My Friend Has a Crush On Me' lol, but nothing.. graphic. that's just weird ;)
Above all, please have fun with whichever of these you have been assigned to! Don't stress! If you are having trouble, just ask the mods and I'll try to come up with more specific situations if need be. Thank you!!
