yuletide 2009
Dear Yuletide Writer,
Firstly, thank you so much for writing for me! I am very excited - my first yuletide eeek! I'm sorry I couldn't post this before assignments went out, but hopefully you will still see this and it'll be of some help.
Merlin - RPF; Bradley, Angel
I'd love some on-set antics, preferably shippy, but I'd be happy with gen too. Appearances from the rest of the cast is fine (encouraged, even) but the focus should be on these two.
I absolutely adore these two, and Merlin is one of those fandoms where the slash heavily outweighs the het, in both showverse and rpf it would seem, so there isn't enough of Bradley/Angel out there! I'm really not fussed about the plot here: behind the scenes/filming stuff/video diary shenanigans are always fun, but adventures outside of/post Merlin are great too. The whole cast is lovely so please include them if your muse takes you there, but not in a Bradley-and-Angel-are-together-but-only-because-he-can't-have-Colin-/-she-can't-have-Katie, etc, etc way please. Of course, if you don't want to pair it, Bradley and Angel gen is still lovely: I just want some fun here!
PICTURES for your inspiration: here, here and here.
Also, GIFS (for research):
Cranford (TV); Dr Frank Harrison. Dr Jack Marshland, Mary Smith, Sophy Hutton
Something post the mini series would be amazing (perhaps Mary and Jack are visiting the Harrisons for a special occasion?), but even little insights into moments in the series is awesome. I love Sophy/Frank and Mary/Jack, but I'd be more than happy with a gen exploration of the other dynamics (Frank/Jack, Sophy/Mary, Mary/Frank) too.
I loved all the relationships we saw between these four characters on the mini and it would be nice to see the dynamic between all four of them together, but if you decided to narrow your focus, I'd be happy with any combination. You could even go into how Sophy and Jack get on! The only thing I'd really like here is that the relationships stay the same way they were presented on the show (so, if you focused on Mary and Frank's relationship I'd like it to be friendship/gen fic, not a pairing).
The Wire; Ellis Carver, Thomas aka Herc Hauk
I'd love something that looks at the paths their characters took over the series, how they came to have the relationship they did when the series started and how that changed over the years. If you even focused on what aspect of that, it would be amazing (pre-series especially). I'd like it to be gen, and if you'd rather focus on one of them instead of both, I prefer Carver.
The Wire is this amazing, amazing show where I love nearly every single person, and I cannot explain how awesome I think you are for just offering to write for this fandom. I find it so hard to pick just one person I love the most, but sometimes I think Carver is sort of my secret favourite on the show. His relationship with Herc provided me with one of my favourite 'little' moments on The Wire (i.e. in Season One when Lt. Daniels thinks they've taken the money, and then they actually take the money). I'd just like something introspective (pre-series/during the show/post-show/all of the above) that captures the mood of the show, preferably for both characters, but especially, especially Carver. Appearances from other characters in the show is more than fine too. I'd love to see a look at their relationships with some of the other people in the squad, like Kima, McNulty, Prez, etc and Carver's relationship with Randy breaks my heart into tiny little pieces.
Center Stage; Charlie Sims, Jody Sawyer
Post-film, how their relationship developed (how they really fell in love, how they drifted apart - I do not mind fluff or angst).
This is probably the most random of my requests, but this is one of my guilty pleasure films and when I first saw it years ago I really liked Charlie/Jody. Still it always kind of bugged me that relationship wise the film seemed more about Cooper/Jody and as much as I like Charlie/Jody them getting together at the end was almost like an 'oh yeah, films almost over, must kiss now' moment. Although I requested post-film fic, I'd also love a closer look at how/why they started to like each other during the film. I'm usually a sucker for a happy ending, but I'd actually be fine with the angst here if you decided to go down the route of them drifting apart (as long as it didn't invovle Jody ending up with Cooper!). And if gen's more your thing, them becoming better friends during the course of the film is lovely too.
I hope you have fun writing the fic! I am looking forward to whatever you write (I'd be so happy with whichever one that is).
Thank you again! :D
