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,

Clearly, you lucked out in picking something I like to write (rewrites of old stories) and something I like but rarely write (femmeslash). :P

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.

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?

...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.

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 ^_~
