jasmassonDear Yuletide Writer
Hello! Thank you for agreeing to write in one of my favorite fandoms. What excellent taste you have! I’m certain you’ll be wonderful, and thank you in advance.
General things about my taste – the good news is I’m pretty easy to please. I’m extremely happy with G rated, but I’m very unlikely to be squicked if you’re of a NC17 or even a kinky persuasion (except for scat) either, and I’m both slash and gen friendly.
There are just two things I’d like you to consider when writing any of the fandoms:
1) The only thing I’d ask you to avoid is non-canon deaths, please. Two of my fandoms have canonical death in my pairing, I know, but I’d also prefer that the fics not concentrate on those sad events!
2) In general I like fics that showcase my favorite relationships – whether that is through anything from short, delicious PWPs or character fics to long, plotty extravaganzas – just some aspect of the fic exploring and enjoying the relationship between them will make me happy.
That’s really very unspecific, you say? I’ll try for some more detail, then…
1) Robert Crais: Elvis Cole, Elvis and Joe: I love Elvis and Joe's relationship. Ideally, I'd LOVE some back story showing how they developed to what they are to each other (slash or gen), but anything really exploring/highlighting their closeness would be great.
2) The Outsiders, Johnny and Dally: I’d like something that focuses on Dally’s love for Johnny – again happy for that to be just as a friend, or as a substitute little brother, or romantically/sexually. Something that explores why Johnny was the only thing Dally loved, and how important that love was to Dally, while keeping Dally’s edge. I’m lacking in plot ideas to help you do that, SORRY, just anything with this pairing would be wonderful. I'd quite like something with Dally protecting Johnny from something, maybe? Obviously I’m looking for pre or during canon here, because of the canonical death.
3) Lake Placid, Hank and Hector: I'd like something that focuses on the interactions between them (I like both slash and platonic), either some banter in film or, my slight preference, a post film fic. Perhaps just after the movie, or they meet later and are awkward and combatively friendly/in love.
4) The Man in the Iron Mask, Athos and d'Artagnan: I would ideally like some pre-movie action highlighting the relationship between Athos and d'Artagnan; perhaps when Athos was mentoring d'Artagnan into the Musketeers, or just one of the adventures back when they were the three musketeers (plus one!). I'm very happy with either gen friendship or slashy romance.
Lastly, and most importantly, any fic you write heavily featuring the relationship between two main characters I ask for and considering the first two things will make me very happy – the suggestions I include for each are just to help provide inspiration, so please feel free to ignore if a different rabid plot bunny bites you, I enjoy surprises…
I’m not really sure if I’ve got the balance right between not leaving you thinking you’ve no idea what to write and not making you feel like you’re in a straight-jacket! If you'd like more guidance or some specific prompts, I've allowed anon commenting for the duration of Yuletide. But you cannot fail to delight me with a fic about these boys and their relationships, I promise.
Thank you for choosing this fandom and I hope you enjoy the writing.
Thanks!
