Dear Yuletide Author!
Oct. 25th, 2020 10:48 pmDear Author!
First, let me assure you that the characters I requested? No matter what you write, I will love it.
If you want to tailor your work to my personal tastes a bit more: I mostly prefer gen, I really enjoy a dark fic, I love reading about characters getting (reversibly or permanently) damaged, I don't mind character death, but I'll also be absolutely happy if you write me something sweet and fluffy with any of the characters I requested.
Just… I'm really not into things like genderswap, I'd prefer my boys to stay boys and my girls to stay girls. Also if you're not into writing gen, I'd rather people's existing sexualities weren't erased. Feel free to expand. Make a character who's canonically in a opposite-gender relationship bisexual if you prefer for your writing purposes, but don't render them exclusvely gay, thereby making the canon no longer work.
As for my fandoms:
The Wolf and the Watchman - Cecil Winge.
My new fandom this year. I read this book and I have not fallen as quickly and as hard for any character as I did for this one in a very very long time. Just anything with him will be fine. Something from his past, something from the case, another case, the situation with his wife, something with Jean-Michael... his death even if you like, or an AU where he survives his illness...
High Chaparall - Manolito Montoya
A character who's been with me a long time. I'll read literally anything about him, pre-show, in-show, post-show... movie considered canon or not, I don't care. My only request here is not to make the Native Americans bad guys in here if you use them. Thank you!
Moby Dick - Captain Ahab
Another character I have loved for decades. I'll read literally anything with him and love it. I've gotten some beautiful Moby Dick fics in the past, but I will never stop having space to love some more of them, no matter what they're about!
Napoleonic Wars RPF - Arthur Wellesley
I am in love with Arthur Wellesley to no end at all, so give me literally anything about him and I will love you forever and ever. Just please don't kill him!
Ben Hur (1959) - Messala
Look - I love Messala. I love him a lot. I'm going to read anything you can give me, but if you want to make me particularly happy, you could just let him live after the chariot race, and make him deal with the consequences... feel free to mix with the book if you like! (Or give me anything else with him, because I really like him!)
