Dear Yuletide Writer 2015
YAY!!! End-of-the-year fic party time!! Thank you, writer, for your love of whatever fandom we matched on!
General fanfic likes/dislikes:
I love stories that mess around with perspective and time. I prefer plot, but I like character vignettes, too. I'm fond of allusions to canon and other works, related or not. Uh, what's going to probably become pretty clear from the details below is I really, really love the pairing of someone expert in a system with someone really novice to it. Tropes are my JAM--trope-tastic, inverted, subverted; the more lampshades the better!
I love gen, het, and slash, but I would prefer nothing very explicit, crack-tastic, or very AU (I am not a fan of high school or coffee shop AUs, for example).
Dreamsnake - Vonda N. McIntyre
Snake and Melissa's travels after the book ends.
Mainly hoping for worldbuilding! Snake's world IS post-apocalyptic, but also highly advanced. Where does Snake take Melissa? Is it back to her training facilities, where the snakes are bred? Or back out to talk to Jesse's people, or to find out if the world is healing? What does it take to heal a world?
I am a snake owner, so would prefer no harm coming to snakes! Also please no slash.
Elder Scrolls Online
Raynor & Kireth's adventures in Tamriel or Coldharbour (assuming they survived the events of the endgame)
Something fun about Razum-dar and Queen Ayrenn? How they met, a disguised night out on the town, terrible advice Razum-dar has given his Queen?
I ADORE Raynor & Kireth Vanos so much. (I'm actually planning a Skyrim character to be a descendant of theirs.) Kireth's spirit and Raynor's...Raynor-ness had me searching for every opportunity to hang out with them in ESO. How did they get started as adventurers? Were they the sort of kids who read wild adventure stories as an antidote to their boring lives? Where did they go prior to meeting the Vestige? Or after getting out of Coldharbour? (No incest please!!)
Razum-Dar and Ayrenn: Well, Razum-Dar is just great, and there's something really compelling to me about Ayrenn's relative novice status but steadfast devotion to leading her people. I actually haven't finished the Aldmeri Dominion side of ESO yet, but I'm okay with spoilers. Mainly I just want to see Razum-Dar and Ayrenn having some fun: as friends, as lovers, either is fine.
seaQuest
Krieg and Piccolo barely crossed paths on the show, but it would be fun to see what would happen if they did, right? And if Lucas got dragged along?
Um, so Lucas is my second-ever crush from back in the day. I loved his kindness, his bravery, his scientific expertise, his talking dolphin...yeah, Lucas was the best. I rewatched the whole series recently and although there was a lot that I cringed at, Lucas always came through as a decent and good person.
So...put that up against Ben and Tony, who were also fundamentally good people, but who were more on the Chaotic side of the alignment chart? Awesome. Also, put Ben and Tony together for shenanigans? The BEST. (Kind of broken Ben in 2032 still had that defiant streak in him.)
