Dear Yuletide Author!
First of all, thank you so much for signing up for one of my fandoms. And secondly, I'm sorry if any of my requests confused you, I know that I have a tendency to fall for the weirdest characters or pairings. XD
So, just a few basic things before I go into more detail -- I am definitely a fan of slash, I like fics that are dark and self-destructive or give you a really tight feel for what a particular character is like. I am definitely very hard to squick whether with sex, gore or violence.
Request 1: Batman Beyond
I actually requested a fic with Derek Powers specifically because there's so little in fandom to do with him or his son. But if you feel you can't write him, don't worry! Paxton Powers or Charlie, slashed with Terry, would be cool too but I realize that not everyone shares my love for minor chars. XD Please not Bruce/Terry, though, since the fandom (small though it is) has plenty of that. A Terry-centric fic on its own would be fine, and the dark-and-twisted preference definitely still applies, if you can pull that off!Also, totally randomly, I ADORE Ryuuji (Yu-Gi-Oh)/Terry, but I realize the odds of you writing a crossover couple like that are practically nil.
Request 2: Fables
A Mowgli/Prince Charming story would fill me with far too much glee to contain. A Mowgli-centric story would also be gleeful, though! And I listed off those four characters because they interest me the most as a study of contrasts. I'd love to see what Kay sees when he looks at Charming or Mowgli or Cinderella, or to have Cinderella and Mowgli talking as two agents, or some sort of secret spy meeting. Basically, those four chars are so awesome that I think it's impossible to go wrong with anything you write.
Request 3: Discworld
I was definitely thinking Vimes/Wolfgang slash, and non-con would be completely logical and fine. I like the idea of Vimes' beast, or the whole Mr. Civilization subplot that was going on. A story that focused solely on Wolfgang would be cool too, though, just because I love Wolfgang. And Maladict(a)/Vimes isn't actually a pairing that I've considered before, mostly because that'd involve him cheating on his wife with another woman and that makes me feel vaguely bad in a way that Vimes with another man doesn't. So if possible, I'd prefer to not have Maladict/Vimes.
Request 4: Shortpacked
I love Mike's cynicism contrasted with Ethan's optimism. It just seems like they'd make a really weird, interesting couple. Robin's plot to get Ethan to kiss her, via the random lesbian chick, was one of my favorite storylines -- basically, humor is key for this couple. But if you can write them as a dark couple, or a twisted/conflicted one, I will be seriously impressed. XD
In conclusion, if those details are confusing or difficult to deal with, please don't worry about them and write whatever you feel capable of doing. And thank you in advance!
Oh, and if you want examples of fics/author that I especially love,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ceresi is especially awesome - there's a Tobias/Jake (Animorphs) that I cannot get enough of mostly for the writing style, and a Rachel drabble that breaks my heart every time. By other authors, this Regulus/Remus fic is a perfect example of the dark/twisted/conflicted/using themes that I love, and this Narcissa/Lily fic is gorgeously-written and dark as Black blood.
...Hopefully, that's enough recs and at least some of them fit whatever fandoms you're in!
