rodoDear Yuletide Writer,
I hope I will not be one of those recipients one hates to write for. Those who demand either too much – half a novel with a specific pairing and ten kinks – and those who don’t give one any idea who they are and what they wish for. So I will tell you what I like most about the fandoms and what fic I’ve been longing for to give you and idea what I want, but first a few general remarks:
I read slash, het and gen, although I have been mostly into gen and canon pairings lately. I like stories about friendships, adventures, hurt/comfort that’s heavy on the comfort part and I always appreciate a good plot (and some good porn). Two things I would really rather not read are deathfic (although death as a minor or canon plot point is fine) and detailed depictions of depression, as both can sometimes trigger depressive episodes and anxiety attacks. Apart from that, I am not easily squicked.
As for the fandoms: I always choose fandoms where I am glad about every fic written for them, so even if I don’t squee myself silly, I will appreciate the effort you put into your story. This year’s letter also contains some copypasta from previous exchanges where these wishes were not fulfilled.
PS: when I say “any”, I mean “any”.
1. City Hunter – Any. The finale of this series was a bit of a let down for me. My favourite character was killed off and scenes that I had hoped to see weren’t there. I don’t really care which open threads you want to tie up, as long as I get some much wanted closure. An AU where the attorney doesn’t die and gets back together with his ex-wife. Lee Yun Seong developing a relationship with his biological family or starting a new life with Kim Na Na. His mother and uncle starting over in the US. Choi Da Hye’s future, Eun Ah and Ki Jun’s marriage – I think you get the picture.
2. King 2 Hearts – Eun Shi Kyung/Lee Jae Shin. I admit it, I mostly want fix-it fic. An AU where Eun Shi Kyung doesn’t die. Maybe he lies in a coma for a while or his injuries are so serious that he has to spend the rest of the finale in the hospital. I really loved him and the princess together too and had hoped for a happy end. It doesn’t have to be focused on the pairing, though. I would also like to see his friendships with Jae Ha and Hang Ah. And his general awkwardness and lack of humour.
3. Raumpatrouille Orion – Any: I confess, I don’t ship the canon pairing Cliff/Tamara. Instead, I ship Cliff/Lydia van Dyke, Tamara/Helga, Mario/everyone and Lydia/everyone. Both Lydia and Tamara are my favourite characters, so of course I would love to read fic about them being awesome or having fun together. But I’d also read teamfic, adventure, canon pairings and a story about Villa or the other members of the crew. I also think a story about Spring-Brauner has potential. Canon left me with a desire for more that I haven’t satisfied yet. If you are a native speaker of German, please consider writing the story in German, if that isn’t against the rules. If not, English will do as well!
4. Three Musketeers (2011) – Any. This movie had so much potential for fanfic, but for some reason there wasn’t any. No stories about the epic fashion rivalry between King Louis XIV and Buckingham, no foe!yay between Buckingham and Aramis (they would look so good together …), no stories of how daily life is for poor Planchet. I also wanted to read about Athos and Milady making up, more epic airship battles and the awkward romances between the king and his wife and D’Artagnan and Constance. For some reason, this is my favourite adaptation of the story, so I would read pretty much anything.
