my yuletide letter 2010
Dear Yuletide Writer,
*yay* we've been matched! I will genuinely be thrilled no matter which fandom you write for me so . I've also included info about getting into each fandom just in case you find yourself struggling with the request we were matched on - I want you to enjoy writing the story too so feel free to take as much or as little information from my ramblings about requests. They're all just ideas to spark your creative juices.
Although I did choose a rating for each request in my sign-up form, these were merely a preferred rating and I would be happy with any rating.
Friday Night Lights; Luke Cafferty, Becky Sproles
I'd love to read something about them finding a way to be together as a couple post the events of season 4 (either immediate future or something set much later on) and how that works or doesn't work. If you'd rather go the Gen route I'd love to see them becoming real friends post-everything.
There is so little out there for Luke/Becky that I'd love anything involving them, whether you do write it shippy or gen. They have the potential to be really adoreable but there's so much behind them when they really don't actually know each other that well, which gives so much room but also great potential for fic. Given their history angst can't really be avoided, but I'd prefer something with a more positive/hopeful ending.
I've only caught up with FNL recently but I've discovered there's a lot of dislike out there for Becky so what I really don't want is for Becky to come out as the bad guy. If you find yourself struggling with writing a story that's also sympathetic to her I'd be more than happy to receive a gen fic just about Luke or something exploring his friendships with Vince and/or Tinker (again, Gen) - there just isn't enough fic out there for the new kids, and Luke is my favourite of them so nearly anything with him front and centre would be wonderful.
In case you're wondering, I am following season 5 as it airs on DirectTV so you don't have to worry about including spoilers for things that air leading up to yuletide, but if you're waiting for season 5 to come on NBC before watching then of course I don't mind you only taking season 4 into account for your fic.
If you're new to FNL the characters I'm interested in reading about are only in Season 4 onwards which was 13 episodes long and season 5 has just aired a few episodes so far. Although there are some characters in season 4 that were around before, the focus and feel of the show is quite different and I don't think it would be hard to follow from that point onwards, if you didn't have time to catch up with the show from the first season.
Law & Order: UK; Matt Devlin/Alesha Phillips
Something tender, romantic, angsty with them finding their way to actually being together and balancing that and working together.
There is a brilliant picspam located here that shows how delightful yet heartbreaking these two are far better than I could try to explain. I think there's a lot more feeling on his side, so I wouldn't mind seeing something that maybe looks at how her feelings start developing, or the potential awkwardness of working together when they start dating (of the two I could see Alesha finding it a lot easier to just be professional).
If you've not seen L&O:UK before there've been just over 3 seasons of the show, although each season has been only 6 or 7 episodes long. As it's a procedural the episodes tend to be based on the cases rather than the characters backgrounds but what's lovely about Matt/Alesha is the lovely little moments they have (Matt does love to flirt with her in the most inappropriate places!) that have somehow developed into this undercurrent. I'd say some key episodes for them would be 1x07, 3x04 and 3x06 but do contain subject matter some people wouldn't be comfortable watching so I'd advise looking through the picspam mentioned above first.
Merlin RPF; Angel Coulby/Bradley James
Cute hi-jinks and shenanigans and adoreableness is all I desire. I'd be just as happy with het or gen.
I don't mean to be so vague but I'd genuinely be happy with any little cute story involving these two. This is a link to my last year's yuletide letter where I requested these two as well and that's got some more information (more like ramblings) about what I like about them and all that's applicable here too. In addition to the gifs & pictures there you can watch how cute they are in the cast video diaries/specials. Here are 2 links to the video diaries from season one: part 1 and part 2, and this is a link to one of of the short specials from the filming of season 2 (is a little spoilery for the episodes).
Thank you again, yuletide writer - I can't wait to read your story! :D
