say, what's in this drink [Dear Yuletide Writer 2012, the reprise]
Every year, I'm pretty sure I almost cause my writer to default by not putting up a letter until the last possible second. NOT SO THIS YEAR.
Santa! Yulegoat! Other non-denominational identifiers! I'm pretty excited for Yuletide this year, mostly because my requests are all slightly ridiculous. If we've been matched, I like your style already. I promise I'm easy, and always remember OPTIONAL DETAILS ARE OPTIONAL. Fic is much more fun when the author writes what they want instead of adhering religiously to a prompt. For me and for you!
The Giver
God, this was one of my favourite books as a kid. I loved the world-building. I would take literally any fic that explored it in more detail. Why/how was the Community designed the way it was? How does it fare after Jonas leaves? Does it keep adhering to its rules? Does it change slowly? What happens to Fiona and Asher and Lily? Or maybe even backstory about Rosemary: how did she grow up? OR HEY, go crazy, write an AU where Jonas never leaves!
But seriously, Yulegoat, write what you feel; fic is always, always better that way. Those suggestions consisted of nothing more than me spit-balling (badly) in the span of one minute, and I'm not married to any of them.
Yep, that pretty much says it all. World-building: I am into it. Does the Community have myths? Is it too utilitarian for myths? I just don't know! DO WHAT YOU FEEL, ANON.
The Wire
I'm going to level with you Yulegoat: I kiiiiiiind of want a high school AU where members of the Barksdale Organization are all kids in the towers? Just a little bit? BUT if that is not your thing, I would also take backstory on Avon and Stringer setting up the drug crew. Or hanging out selling product when they were younger. Or anything!
Yep. (It's not my fault, though, I swear. That high school AU idea was suggested to me! I'm a very suggestible person!) But seriously, I admire you for tackling The Wire fic in any form. I've always been too afraid to do it myself.
Parenthood
(Wow, this is going to be a real gotcha because the tags won't let me select Adam.) BUT YEP, I may or may not want incesty crap with Sarah and Adam? I AM SO SORRY YULEGOAT. IT IS NOT MY FAULT LAUREN GRAHAM LOOKS AT HER TV BROTHER LIKE SHE WANTS TO BANG HIM.
But, no, seriously. Sarah is my fav, I would take anything centred around her at all. She doesn't have to be banging her brother, I promise. What was she like as a kid? I would take the Original Four Braverman siblings as teenagers/children in a heartbeat. Or maybe backstory when Amber and Drew were babies! She could even be banging Ray Romano! Go crazy, Yulegoat. Follow your heart.
Yeeeeeah, that's a complete gotcha. Ignore the incest, anon (unless you also happen to want completely inappropriate things from your wholesome family fare). I think Parenthood is a great fandom for Yuletide, which seems to tend toward gen and ensembles more than the average ficathon. So, if you want to, ignore the character-matching rule and write about any and all of the Bravermans. There is no fic for this show, literally anything you do will blow my mind.
Three Men and a Baby
I MEAN, basically I just want happy fic where they fall in love and raise Mary? Isn't that what everyone wants after watching this movie?
If we got matched on this, you are already the best person ever. End of story.
