Dear Yuletide Writer
Nov. 14th, 2010 04:33 pmHello!
I hope that your assignment is a merry one, and that the writing will be a pleasurable lead up to the holidays. Whatever you end up writing, I'm looking forward to reading it. Like a lot of people, I'm just happy you are writing something in this fandom!
My fandom requests this year are Profit, World War Z, Brick and Sergei Lukyanenko's Nightwatch (Nochnoi Dozor) series. These are all stories with dark edges to them. I don't want to box you in too much, so I'll just tell you about things I like instead of making specific story requests. I'm a big fan of hard changes, difficult choices, smart dialogue, the end of the world, danger, sex, violence, the cold, winter, days of bright hard sunshine and pale blue sky, coats, manipulation, complex schemes, things falling apart, star crossed lovers, tragedy, kissing in the dark, a hand on the neck, blurring the line between light and dark, a touch of evil. I love stories that make you ache, from desire or loss.
I'm not afraid of explicit content and in fact often relish it. My preference tends to skew towards gay pairings, but het is fine if that's what the story requires. As explicit or gen as you like - essentially write what works best in your story.
While it is not required in any way, setting it during the winter or holidays would be sweet and creepy.
If you work better with more specific story requests, I have some bonus features!
Profit - How did Jim Profit get so computer savvy anyways? Mega bonus for including Patrick Bateman/gratuitous references to Bret Easton Ellis. I love how the "bad" guy wins in this series.
World War Z - A story set in Prague, or Austin Texas. In this novel, it is the raw, journalistic vibe that I enjoy.
Brick - What was Brendan's first case? Or his last one? Mega bonus for seduction and poisoned drinks.
Nightwatch - Anton's vampire hunting for the Watch. Mega bonus for Anton hunting down some sparkly vampires. super mega bonus for Christmas in Moscow.
