omg yuletide!
Nov. 3rd, 2008 06:19 pmsignups are open! this is me, pondering what to ask for and what to offer. feel free to remind me that there is no way in hell I'd be able to write a particular fandom and I am talking crazy.
( cut because nobody cares )
still thinking about what I want.
I could ask for
Naomi Novik - Temeraire series
Granby/Tharkay/Laurence. slash. any two or all three, I am so not picky. smut, romance, twu wuv, snarkery, Temeraire's bewildered view of sexual goings-on (oh man, just the thought of Temeraire getting an eyeful of mansex makes me giggle, he could get all concerned and worried that someone was mistreating his Laurence! and then he would read some Plato and decide to be encouraging), it is all good so long as please please please there is a happy ending. (oh, and I feel like this should go without saying, but no Jane-bashing please! Jane is made of awesome.)
Tamora Pierce - Circle of Magic series
Tris/Briar or Sandry/Daja. shippy preferred, UST okay! Tris is my favorite, so anything about her is lovely as well - being at Lightsbridge, maybe, or what she gets up to after graduation, or what it's like being a super-mage undercover!
Tamora Pierce - Tortall series
Kel being amazing, in that stoic way she has! gen, het, if you can make femmeslash work props to you! I do like the notion of Kel/Dom or Kel/Owen, but pretty much anything about Kel would make me happy.
Robin McKinley - The Outlaws of Sherwood
Cecily and Little John, either the night before Richard sentences them or any time afterwards. Will's view of his baby sister's beau. Robin and John commiserating over their impossible and danger-seeking lady-loves. Or similar. I love Cecily so much.
Robin McKinley - Sunshine
Sunshine and Con, after the final showdown. Any other character's impressions of Sunshine and Con are also welcome - Mel, Yolande, Aimil, SOF, even Charlie!
Georgette Heyer - Cotillion
Freddy Standen, being awesome. Facing down the horrific evils of women's fashion! Rescuing his fiancee from her lower-middle-class notions of economy! Doing valiant battle against the boredom of London's cultural attractions! I also really like Freddy's father, and his realization that while Freddy is kind of a nitwit, he isn't completely useless. ~gives Freddy an enormous hug~ Oh! And Freddy getting the better of Jack in a social situation, perhaps by having the better-tied cravat = WIN.
I could keep going forever if I let myself. I CANNOT DECIDE. I mean, the logical thing would be to pick the fandoms that I can't write for (Robin McKinley, Georgette Heyer, Naomi Novik, other authors whose prose is so brilliant that I just don't dare imitate it), but... now I sort of want it all. I will keep thinking.
oh, and while I'm posting... look, I hate it when people canvas in their journals. I'm not super psyched about Obama. but for god's sake, go vote tomorrow. I'm voting. and if you live in California, NO ON PROPOSITION 8. ugh, it pisses me off.
