Yuletide Letter!
Dear Yuletide Author,
First of all, thank you so much for signing up! I know I chose ridiculously tiny fandoms, so I'm really glad that there's someone out there willing to write for them. As general guidelines, I love dark stuff, addiction, drug use, or twisted relationships. All that good stuff that's totally in the spirit of Yuletide. Really.
Secondly, if my requests are too specific, or you don't like that style, then please ignore everything that I say and write whatever you feel like. I love the chars so much and there's so little about them that I'd be happy with anything, honestly!
Onto the details!
Sinedd is absolutely amazing. Rocket is absolutely amazing. Pairing the two of them together creates so much awesome that I think my heart might just give out with GLEE if you write that. I am honestly curious about where Rocket stayed during Season Two's Netherball spree -- he wasn't with the team, and he wasn't earning any money from Netherball, so where did he crash? In my head, he lived with Sinedd when Sinedd wasn't playing Netherball or Galactik Football, but Sinedd and Rocket don't exactly get on. Sinedd respects Rocket as a player, but that's different to actually lioneking him. Reference episodes would probably be this episode, which is Rocket versus Sinedd in Netherball. I'd love to see what happens after Rocket breaks Sinedd's ankle. But if Rocket/Sinedd isn't your cup of tea, I'd settle for Micro-Ice/Sinedd, since Micro-Ice is just joker-y enough and has that pre-existing relationship with Sinedd from all the way back in Season 1 where Sinedd stole the tickets that Micro-Ice was meant to sell.
Or if you can't write slash at all, a solo-Sinedd fic focusing on how the Smog is making him sicker/more evil would also be good. Or how it's damaging him.
Cameron and Neil are the type of friends that stick together through everything. They were friends even as kids, they died as friends, and they died together. I think they'd kind of make a perfectly dysfunctional couple. I'd love to see something about the two of them growing up, The Apocalypse and The Destroyer, and it felt like to them to have The Widow Maker leave and turn what was three friends into a pair of friends instead. Maybe a glimpse of them chatting together over MSN or AIM or whatever chat program they use? It's already canon that they drew out the mall massacres together, and wrote to each other in the same notebook, so something maybe about what it felt like to be so close to someone when they were so distant from the rest of the world?
While I love slash with Tobias, I really love Rachel too. If you write Tobias/Ax or David/Tobias, please don't bash Rachel or make it seem like she wasn't the one tie that Tobias had left to his humanity/his anchor to sanity. Tobias/Ax, could you set it after Rachel's death? Preferably after they've rescued Ax and gotten away scot-free from ramming the Blade Ship. XD David/Tobias, I don't know when the best time to set it would be. Maybe in the arc where they're about to trap him as a rat. Afterwards would be weird, unless the Ellimist or Crayak was involved somehow. Tobias/Ax, please don't make it too dark? Angsty's fine, considering who the two chars in question are, but they've already suffered a ton. Maybe a look at what the aftermath of the war is? David/Tobias, go as dark as you like/can. Really. XD
Visser Three/Ax? See above for David/Tobias.
But most of all, please remember that I love the chars so much that anything you write about Sinedd, Tobias or Cameron would be perfect, really. Don't feel trapped by my prompts! Treat them more like possibilities than "omg I must break my brain in half trying to figure out to fill her requests!".
Lots of love,

...Are we talking Lilith as in Adam's first wife and Eve as in the chick from his rib? Perhaps I should clarify these things before agreeing to stuff. XDDD

Not sure yet how I'll explain their existence in modern times. I'm sure you're way better at stuff like this than I am. I don't mind what style or anything, I'm sure I'll like it no matter what. XD
no subject
And as for art, I want Rocket/Sinedd, please! Because they're seriously hot and awesome and all sorts of cool stuff. Sinedd in his Shadows uniform and Rocket in his Season 2 Netherball outfit. Pics follow!
Rocket:

Sinedd:

...Actually, wait, just watch the ep that I linked to in my letter. It's less than half an hour long and you'll get to see their uniforms in action and from all angles. XD
*goes off to write now!* I'm thinking that botanist/gardener would give her a good excuse to be in contact with a herpetologist. But do you want totally AU, as in they have no Biblical connections, or some form of them being reincarnated without memories/with memories, or them just living forever and this being their current positions?
no subject
As for the fic, I think I like the reincarnation idea. Maybe they have vague memories of their pasts and have to recollect them each time they are reincarnated?
no subject
And that sounds doable! It'd explain the professions they get drawn to, as well. Do you want them still to be called Eve and Lilith, or should I change their names to something like Lily and Evelyn for the more modern thing?
no subject
I think it would be cool to change their names, I was thinking of doing that as well. =)
no subject
And if you can mimic the GF style, do that, please? XD *kinda likes it* And name changes it is, then! Now to pick out last names for them. And backstories. Hah. *plots!*
no subject
no subject
Clearly, you lucked out in picking something I like to write (rewrites of old stories) and something I like but rarely write (femmeslash). :P

no subject
Your fic just hit over 4,600 words, btw. :P I'm starting to think that I should break this up into chapters instead of having it as one big block.

And oooh to the sketches. Scary! XD Eve looks like -- damnit, I can't remember whom, but if you give her blonde hair and blue eyes, I swear she'll resemble a cartoon char I know.
In the fic, Evelyn's very much an English rose. Blonde hair up in a bun, blue eyes, slim and short. Prim and proper, Miss Manners. And Lillian's more Italian :P In the sense of masses of dark hair and tanned skin, killer curves and a wild like a natural disaster (born to be bad). Clearly not your kind of Italian. ^_~ But sexy. Very, very sexy.
no subject
Also, I can do a drawing per chapter, but then I probably won't have time to color them. XD; Depends on what you prefer my dear, quantity or quality?
no subject
Ahhhh, decisions! :P
And awesome to helping with the char designs! I don't have the fic with me atm, but off the top of my head, Evelyn wears dresses and skirts/shirts with shifts underneath, and only ever wears pale pink nailpolish. Lillian wears black and red a lot, and likes hats/sunglasses to hide/shield her eyes. She tends to go for low cleavage tops, and asymmetrically cut skirts/dresses -- very striking, very sexy, and very attention-getting. Lillian's also pretty tall. Evelyn feels very dowdy/mousy next to her.

She also has a hot 'stepbrother' called Lucian. Three guesses who he is. And who Evelyn's fiancee Adam is :P (I had to keep his name, it's actually a fairly neutral name these days).
I haven't mentioned her current job, but I think that herpetologist would work for her! She can extract snake venom and stuff. Thus science-y getup works!
Not sure about Evelyn. I think she might be a lecturer who specializes in rare botanical finds and their uses.
no subject
Hm, maybe Al Rio art might work?
http://www.alrioart.com/details.php?image_id=3252
...So apparently his chicks don't wear clothes either!
Also, how OLD do you want them to be? One of Evelyn's problems with Lillian is that Lillian doesn't dress like a grown woman should, but I've been careful not to specify their ages. XD
http://alrioart.com/details.php?image_id=2739 Maybe that works? But the skirt's a little too short. Lillian manages to pull sexy without looking like she's wearing hooker clothing.
http://alrioart.com/details.php?image_id=112 Closer, but her skin's too pinkish. And Al Rio's chicks never seem to have much character in their faces, you know? His art is pretty, but it doesn't do well at conveying personality. Pure T&A.
no subject
Mane of black hair: check!
sexy clothes: check!
Sass: check!
I guess it's official, Betty Page is the new Lilith. XD
Ages? Well, everyone in my story has sort of a nebulous, never-mentioned age (that's part of the creepiness of having very cute and round characters who also happen to be pregnant/very developed.) I know you're probably not imagining them that way in your story, though.
Like the snake-charmer idea, I had toyed with that with some reeeeally early (and kind of ugly) sketches I had done on this theme earlier this quarter. I did a drawing which I want to re-do of Lilith and Eve embracing with an apple between their lips and a large python wrapped around them.
Trust me, my teacher has seen so much crazy shit (this is art school, and Sequential Art, at that!), even a hooker sticking snakes up her vajayjay won't faze him. Well, I'm sure he'll get a laugh out of it, but seriously. He's seen the pages of my comic so far, he knows what he's in for. XDD
no subject
I was thinking late twenties or so. Thirties would be a bit too old but I'm defintiely picturing them as women grown instead of teenager. XD Though Eveyln comes off as older because she's so strait-laced.
Ooooh. Awesome! You could do a LOT of Lillian with snakes and tattoos and revealing clothes, probably. And Evelyn with various flowers, or at tea parties with flowered tea cups, or standing up at lecture halls and talking to a mass of people that all look alike :P
*snickers* The poor guy. Though I wasn't thinking of her as a HOOKER. Just a little risque ^_~
no subject
no subject
But hm. Let's see. I am currently into Galactik Football, Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds (kill me now, argh, why I am getting into spawn-offs?!), Cold Case, Psych, Dexter, House MD, Boston Legal, any number of lit fandoms, Utena, DC comics insofar as Batman and Kyle Rayner from Green Lanterns, Hancock--
Okay, tell me what some of YOUR fandoms are and let's see if there's any overlap. XD
no subject
The funny thing is, I never followed Yu-Gi-Oh when I was in elementary school, but I was playing the cardgames with the whole class. One boy was selling one card or 1 baht LOL
Batman: Dark Knight is superawesome! Though I have yet to get into fandom...
Planning to follow more of Boston Legal and Dexter (only watched parts of S1), Utena....Relovution Girl or something? I'm thinking of reading that...
Okay my most recent ones are Skip Beat!--I like the main character's progress with acting. Fandom has been complaining about how the romance is going too slow, but I don't have a problem with it; Fruits Basket kinda ate my brain, though I was a bit turned off by the first few chapters, I thought it was really good when things picked up. Ouran Host Club. Vampire Knights.
Wow, and I used to refuse to read romance, haha. Ouran cured me of that. Umm. Supernatural, xxxHolic, Tokyo Babylon, FMA!! The lastest chapter was great!! Wow, manga attack. I used to be crazy obsessed with BtVS, too. Yu Yu Hakusho will never leave me, I've been watching that with my brothers since Kindergarden. Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle (book and anime).
I think I better stop ^^; Any overlaps? XDD
no subject
Batman, I got into before the movies came out, and I'm rather proud of that. OMG YAY IN BEFORE BANDWAGON. *mocks self* Kyle Rayner, Jason Todd and Steph Brown are probably my favorite chars.
Boston Legal and Dexter, I still need to watch the new current seasons. Utena Revolutionary Girl is a rare example of the anime being better than the manga, since the manga is only 5 volumes long.
I HAVE read Vampire Knights! Some of it, anyway. I kind of still don't really go for romance-centered manga, mostly because the whole one girl, flock of guys scenario doesn't appeal to me. Petshop of Horrors, Nightmares for Sale, Doll and Othello are my favorite manga series. The first three are all collections of short stories with an underlying greater theme, and Othello is about a girl with DID (formerly known as MPD), and it's all orts of fantastic.
I think I should drag you into Galactik Football. It's just flat-out awesome and I'm spending all my free time writing for it. XD
