holliThis will be my tenth year of participating in Yuletide. I am probably disproportionately proud of never having defaulted so far.
Dear Santa: You are a rock star and I am wildly unlikely to be unhappy with your story. Things I like: adventures, inventive use of tropes, female characters getting cool stuff to do, pining (especially pining that is resolved happily), outsider perspectives, fish-out-of-water hijinks, found families, mistaken identities, secret identities, interesting worldbuilding. I am not fond of power imbalances, significant age differences, or noncon.
Pushing Daisies: Ned, Charlotte Charles
Somehow, there is not a single fix-it fic on the entire Internet in which Ned and Chuck get to touch, for real, without Chuck dying. This is a TRAVESTY, I think you will agree. Obviously, there are lots of other things I would be tremendously happy to see in this fandom-- casefic! Ensemble fic! Futurefic! Chuck going vintage shopping fic! I love the show's combination of whimsy and morbid humor; I also love pie.
Julia Child RPF: Julia Child
Julia Child was in the OSS during WWII. I would dearly love to see one of the top-secret spy adventures she clearly took part in. Suggested team-ups with other real people who worked in intelligence during the war: Christopher Lee & Roald Dahl (the Improbably Tall Spy Team); Hedy Lamarr & Josephine Baker (the Famous Ladies Spy Team); John Pertwee & Ian Fleming (the Top Secret Spy Team). Crossovers with other WWII-era fandoms welcome.
Northanger Abbey - Jane Austen: Catherine Morland, Henry Tilney
To this day, Henry Tilney remains the sole Austen hero who I genuinely consider Boyfriend Material. I'd love to see his and Catherine's future, any number of years down the line; I'd also be very interested in finding out more about Eleanor's fortuitous marriage. Catherine herself would be really fun to look in on when novels like Frankenstein hit the scene-- Catherine as the earliest possible SF fan would be amazing!
The other thing I'd love to see is the Clueless (or, I guess, more accurately the Lizzie Bennet Diaries!) treatment-- I am not normally a huge fan of modern AUs, but I feel like Northanger Abbey would lend it self incredibly well to a modern reinterpretation, given its very modern-feeling, sly treatment of genre tropes.
