Dear Yuletide author,
First off, you rock! Honestly. If you're going to write any of the pairings/characters I asked for, I will love it. Seriously. But, if you would like some more details,
I like slash (both sorts), gen and het. If you'd rather not go the 'shippy route with any of the characters I've asked for, that's cool, really. With a lot (actually, all) of these fandoms it's really about capturing the feel of the canon universe and the relationships between the characters, than about the 'ships.
If you are making it 'shippy, I'm not a huge fan of incest, rape, non-con and as far as sexual kinks in general go, I tend towards the vanilla end of the spectrum, but threesomes are awesome. But again, don't feel you have to make it porn-y (writing porn is hard, dude), at all.
I am okay with character death and angst. Don't feel you have to make it all rainbows and happy endings if that's not where your muse is directing you. However, saying that I am also a huge sap and love my happy fluffy fic as well.
Random other things I like (which might be hard to fit into my requested fandoms): Political intrigue, geekiness, banter, competence, backstory goodness, history and snark.
Also, I am absolutely fine with AUs. Love them in fact. ;)
Now, to get fandom specfic
The Thick of It: I just started watching this in the last few weeks, and I love it, especially the character of Malcolm. I just love his angry, bitchy, devious Scottish-ness and just want more of him. Also, maybe an insight into how his mind works behind it all. A little back story perhaps? Feel free to add any secondary characters you like.
Elizabethan 16th Century: My small obsession with this started with the movie Elizabeth and Joseph Fiennes quite a few years ago, but it still pops by every now and then to say hi. The relationship between Elizabeth and Robert Dudley has always fascinated me, especially mentions of 'his last letter' and the fact that she kept it to her death. I have no real preference as to time period or anything, I just would like a little insight into their relationship and the obstacles in their path.
New Avengers: Again a fandom I've just indulged in recently with the epic slashiness of Civil War, but I've always really liked the character of Tony Stark. Something Steve/Tony would be cool, but gen is also fine. Possibly dealing with Civil War and its aftermath, but I wouldn't be opposed to a happier story either once everything is sorted. Peter is just a character to include, because he's awesome, and I live him teasing Steve and Tony. ;)
Mad Men: For all his sins, Roger has been one of my favourite characters on Mad Men, followed pretty closely by Joan, and I was really intrigued by their relationship. It could be a look into how it all started, or a fic set in the future after the events of the S3 finale.
Hope that was helpful,
Thank you!
